A Daily Devotional
About what the antichrist will not do
1 John 4:1 Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. 2This is how you can recognize the Spirit of God: Every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, 3but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming and even now is already in the world. (NIV)
There is a spiritual world. This spiritual world contains spirits. These spirits are not separated from us in this world. The spirit of the antichrist has been in the world from the beginning. This spirit of the antichrist will not acknowledge Jesus Christ is the Son of God and will not acknowledge Jesus was in the world as flesh and blood. However, the antichrist is deceptive. The antichrist can spin words and meanings. The antichrist can make his words sound like he is acknowledging Christ is Gods son but when you analyze the words of the antichrist, you will see the antichrist is: 1) deceptive and has not really claimed Christ is the only begotten Son of God, 2 ) will not claim Christ was born of a virgin in this world in flesh and blood, 3) will not claim Christ died on the cross as an innocent man to atone for the sins of all men, and 4) will not claim Christ came back from the tomb after being dead three days. The spirit of the antichrist or any embodiment of the spirit of the antichrist cannot and will not make these acknowledgements.
