The Antichrist will come with satanic power to perform lying signs, wonders, and other works of power in order to deceive those who have not loved Christ and His truth.
In learning about the Antichrist, the Christian must not be troubled nor fearful. We find very comforting words from the Lord here in John 14 - Let not your heart be troubled.
The man of sin, the Antichrist, will come to power for a short time just before Christ comes again. He will set himself up in the visible church claiming to be the messiah of God. His religion will be the only religion tolerated in the world.
The Day of the Lord will not come until the great apostasy occurs and the Antichrist reveals himself. We must be constantly on guard against the enemy's attempts to lure us away from the true gospel of Christ.
The spirit of the antichrist is very active right now, working to deceive people into following a false Jesus. We must be very discerning lest we be tricked.
The spirit of antichrist is very much active now, increasingly so. One of the most dangerous tactics of antichrist is the deception of mere outward religion and morality
Sin has plunged the unbeliever into a deep darkness. His mind is veiled from the light of the glory of Christ. Unless the Lord proclaims "Let there be light," Satan's veil will continue to blind the sinner's mind.
This parable emphasizes the terrible sin of professing Christ but refusing His righteousness, the certainty of being found a hypocrite, and the destiny of eternal torment for such as come to the feast without a wedding garment.
