There really is no big mystery as to what the word means. We have people who are “anti-smoking” or “anti-gay” or “anti-hunting” or “anti-Semitic” or “anti-abortion”. It is a simple compound word and means “Anti” + “Christ” = “antichrist”. Who is an Anti-Christ? The Greek word from which our English word “Anti-Christ” is translated is very simple to understand. Regrettably, multitudes have been unwittingly won over and misled by these false prophets.īefore continuing with this discourse, let’s define our operational concept – Anti-Christ. Leading these new age movements are the many false prophets and leaders in “Christian” churches, such as the “Prosperity Gospel Preachers” and personalities such as Oprah Winfrey et al. Some of the major signs of the end times are the appearance of false Christ’s, false religions and New Age movements around the world proclaiming many ways to eternal life. Some of these frightening images include fire, mass disorder, and Old Nick – the Devil – himself taking political control of the world through organizations such as the United Nations.

For many, these words conjure up striking pictures of some end of the world apocalypse. When the words, “Battle of Armageddon”, number “666” and “Anti-Christ” are mentioned, a cold sensation usually runs through the spine. To both schools of thought I say:” it is better to do the bidding of the Most High God, rather than those of mere mortals”. After reading this piece, some will choose to call me a bland Satanist, while others will prefer to be non-committal.

In this piece, I interrogate (with intent to explode) a long-held myth about one of the signs of the end times – the coming of the Anti-Christ. That is why today’s piece is a departure from politics and other passing worldly concerns. The yuletide is my seminal season that period of the year when I usually wax spiritual and philosophical. “ Many shall come in My Name, saying, I am Christ … and many false prophets shall arise and deceive many” ( Matthew 24:4-5, 11)
