Download or read book Naming the Antichrist written by Robert C. Fuller and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1996-11-21 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Antichrist, though mentioned a mere four times in the Bible, and then only obscurely, has exercised a tight hold on popular imagination throughout history. This has been particularly true in the U.S., says author Robert C. Fuller, where Americans have tended to view our nation as uniquely blessed by God--a belief that leaves us especially prone to demonizing our enemies. In Naming the Antichrist, Fuller takes us on a fascinating journey through the dark side of the American religious psyche, from the earliest American colonists right up to contemporary fundamentalists such as Pat Robertson and Hal Lindsey. Fuller begins by offering a brief history of the idea of the Antichrist and its origins in the apocalyptic thought in the Judeo-Christian tradition, and traces the eventual 71Gws how the colonists saw Antichrist personified in native Americans and French Catholics, in Anne Hutchinson, Roger Williams, and the witches of Salem, in the Church of England and the King. He looks at the Second Great Awakening in the early nineteenth century, showing how such prominent Americans as Yale president Timothy Dwight and the Reverend Jedidiah Morse (father of Samuel Morse) saw the work of the Antichrist in phenomena ranging from the French Revolution to Masonry. In the twentieth century, he finds a startling array of hate-mongers--from Gerald Winrod (who vilified Roosevelt as a pawn of the Antichrist) to the Ku Klux Klan--who drew on apocalyptic imagery in their attacks on Jews, Catholics, blacks, socialists, and others. Finally, Fuller considers contemporary fundamentalist writers such as Hal Lindsey (author of The Late Great Planet Earth, with some 19 million copies sold), Mary Stewart Relfe (whose candidates for the Antichrist have included such figures as Henry Kissinger, Pope John Paul II, and Anwar Sadat), and a host of others who have found Antichrist in the sinister guise of the European Economic Community, the National Council of Churches, feminism, New Age religions, and even supermarket barcodes and fibre optics (the latter functioning as "the eye of the Antichrist"). Throughout, Fuller reveals in vivid detail how our unique American obsession with the Antichrist reflects the struggle to understand ourselves--and our enemies--within the mythic context of the battle of absolute good versus absolute evil. From the Scofield Reference Bible (no other book had greater impact on the American Antichrist tradition) to the Scopes Monkey Trial, Fuller provides an informative and often startling look at a thread that weaves persistently throughout American religious and cultural life.

Download or read book Identifying the Antichrist written by Paul Wild and published by XinXii. This book was released on 2020-03-24 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “And then shall that Wicked be revealed...” 2 Thessalonians 2:8 In his third book in a series that includes The Timing of the Rapture and Is the United States Mentioned in Bible Prophecy: With a Treatise on the Ezekiel 38 and psalm 83 wars, Paul Wild addresses the incorrect views regarding the antichrist’s origin and characteristics. Much of the speculation regarding the identity of the pivotal person in end-times prophecy has hinged more on identifying powerful, influential men who are perceived as evil rather than uncovering the subtle details of his persona. Paul will: Identify his country of origin and his religious and cultural background Provide details on his physical and intellectual traits Provide details on the timing of his arrival and speculation on his age at that time Challenge the focus on Rome and Europe as his seat of power and place the focus on the Middle East Settle the argument on who Magog is from the Ezekiel 38-39 war narrative and how that war affects the rise and fall of modern nations leading to his ascension Show that the last three yearly Feasts of Israel set the pattern for the rapture of the Church, the repentance of Israel, the ruination of the antichrist, and the return of Jesus. This book is designed to provide the tools for the Body of Christ to identify the wicked man before he emerges on the world scene in order to prepare for the chaos that follows.
Download or read book The Antichrist written by Baal Kadmon and published by . This book was released on 2020-05-10 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Antichrist is one of the most feared, and one of the most anticipated figures in the Abrahamic religions. From Judaism, to Christianity and Islam, there is a figure that is expected to fulfill the role of the Antichrist. Although the word "Christ" is in the word, it means not only a person against Jesus Christ. Christ in Greek simply means "the anointed one." This is a figure against God, be it in the Jewish, Christian or Islamic understanding of the word. For ease of use, I will use the term Antichrist when speaking of all the Abrahamic religions. The Antichrist is a person who will be the antithesis to all that is godly. He will be, in many ways, a Messianic figure with ill intent; hoping to lead billions of people astray. He will have immense powers at his disposal. In fact, the hordes of hell will be at his right side, waiting to be unleashed upon humanity. At least, that is what the religions want you to believe. In this book, I will go as deep as I possibly can into the idea of the Antichrist and from as many vantage points as possible. In that sense, this will be highly academic, but I will make it very accessible.Here is just a taste of what to you will learn in this book: The Origin of the Word AntichristThe Idea of the AntichristThe Different Types of Antichrist FiguresThe Nature and Intention of the AntichristThe Various Names of the AntichristJewish Ideas as it Pertains to the AntichristChristian Beliefs as it Relates to the AntichristThe Whore of Babylon and the Antichrist The Antichrist in Apocryphal TextsThe Antichrist in the Dead Sea ScrollsThe Antichrist as the Early Church Understood HimThe Antichrist Figure in IslamNostradamus and Antichrist PredictionsPeople in Ancient and Modern Times who Were and Are Considered the AntichristAnd more.As you can see, it will be exhaustive. I hope you enjoy it.
