Antichrist See also Devil Anyone or anything that
counterfeits the true gospel plan
of salvation and that openly or
secretly opposes Christ. John the
Revelator described the antichrist
as a deceiver (1 Jn. 2:18–22; 4:3– 6; 2 Jn. 1:7). The great antichrist is Lucifer, but he has many
assistants, both spirit beings and
mortals. The son of perdition opposes and
exalts himself above all that is
called God, 2 Thes. 2:1–12. He deceives them that dwell on
the earth by the means of
miracles, Rev. 13:13–17.
