Where is the Antichrist actually called "the Antichrist" in the Bible?
The only place the man of sin, the counterfeit Christ, is actually called the Antichrist is I John 2:18. There Scripture says Antichrist shall come, and even now many Antichrists exist, though they do not compare to the coming one.
Les teaches that I John 2:18 is the one place where this man of sin, this counterfeit Christ, is actually called the Antichrist. He notes the writers of Scripture had no idea it would be 1900-some years and thought it was all coming in a relatively short time. The verse says, "it is the last time, as you have heard that Antichrist shall come." Les explains that even now there are many Antichrists, but they do not hold a candle to the One who is coming. This coming Antichrist is the real counterfeiter, pictured in Revelation 6 as the White Horse rider who will deceive many by claiming to be Christ.
