END TIMES

Antichrist: His Names

Nero The name Antichrist, from the Greek antichristos, opposed to Christ, or, literally, Against the Anointed, appears only four times in the Bible, in 1Jo 2:18, 1Jo 2:22, 1Jo 4:3, and 2Jo 1:7. And although two of the uses hint at the evil ruler of the last days, the references point more to general opposers or opposition to Christ rather than the Antichrist. In any case, here is that name, along with many others, used to describe that evil end-time ruler.

Antichrist	1Jo 2:18 : Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.
Little Horn	Dan 7:8 : I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things.
King of Fierce Countenance	Dan 8:23 : And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors are come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences, shall stand up.
The Prince that shall come	Dan 9:26 : And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined.
Vile Person	Dan 11:21 : And in his estate shall stand up a vile person, to whom they shall not give the honour of the kingdom: but he shall come in peaceably, and obtain the kingdom by flatteries.
Man of Sin	2Th 2:3 : Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
Son of Perdition	2Th 2:3 : Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
The Beast	Rev 11:7 : And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them.
That Wicked	2Th 2:8 : 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:
