Someone that has a wrong conception of the personality of God in, if you read further down, in that sense is exhibiting the characteristics of Antichrist. The next subtitle, Jesus Came in the Flesh, is another characteristic of Antichrist in a more general sense. From 1 John 4 3 it says, and every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God, and this is that spirit of Antichrist whereof you have heard that it should come, and even now already is in the world. 2 John 1 7, for many deceivers are ante to the world who confess not that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an Antichrist. And someone could confess these false doctrines and not be associated with the Catholic Church, and in that sense, in a general sense, they would be exhibiting the spirit of Antichrist. They would be, in a lesser degree, an Antichrist. You'll find that these characteristics that are identified in the Bible and spirit prophecy are also, though, characteristics of Catholic theology. Now from Selected Messages, Book 3, page 402, it says, Antichrist, meaning all who exalt themselves against the will and work of God, will at the appointed time fill the wrath to him who gave himself that they may not perish but have eternal lives. So anyone who is opposing Christ, in a general sense, is the Antichrist. But as we begin to look at Antichrist in the prophetic setting more closely, perhaps the most important passage in the Bible is 2 Thessalonians verses 1 through 11. Many characteristics that we identify as being associated with the papacy is in this passage, and we will take it up where it says, and the man of sin be revealed, and read on down through. Paul is here counseling the Thessalonians that they should not expect to see the return of Christ until this man of sin is revealed, and he gives them some additional characteristics of what to look for. And taking it up there, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition who opposes and exalted himself above all that is called God or that is worshipped, so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God showing himself that he is God. Remember ye not that when I was yet with you I told you these things, and know ye what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time? For the mystery of iniquity doth already work, only he who now let us will let until he be taken out of the way, and then shall that wicked be revealed whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming. Even him whose coming is after the working of Satan.
