… with Satan's working power will produce the Antichrist. And that is an actual real person, as we shall see. 1 John chapter 2 verse 22 says, who is a liar? But he who denies that Jesus is the Christ or Messiah, he is Antichrist who denies the Father and the Son. Wow, that's heavy. Look, I know people who deny the Son, but they think they have the Father. The Bible says that belief system is of the Antichrist, and they are walking as Antichrists in this world. 1 John 4, verse 3, and every spirit, that's what is being spoken out of someone, anyone, any one of us, and every spirit. So are you speaking by the Holy Spirit or by some other spirit that does not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God. Well, that just puts a big kibosh on the Gnostics and those who say that Jesus was an aberration, that Jesus was a ghost or a phantom. You know, that's a very popular theology.

And this is the spirit of the Antichrist, which you have heard was coming and is now already in the world. John said that 2,000 years ago. How much more now? Because we're deeper. Next verse. 2 John 1, verse 7. For many deceivers have gone out into the world who do not confess Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.

How do you know who is an Antichrist? Verse 22, who is the liar but the one who denies that Jesus is the Christ. This is the Antichrist, the one who denies the Father and the Son. You deny God, Christ, the truth concerning the triune God and the gospel, you are an Antichrist. But maybe that's the next hashtag, hashtag Antichrist. And by the way, apostasy like this is not new, it's just trendy. It's just popular, but it's not new. It was also trendy back in Isaiah's day. Listen to what Isaiah said in Isaiah 1, 4 through 6, alas, speaking to Israel, alas, sinful nation, people weighed down with iniquity, offspring of evildoers, sons who act corruptly. They have abandoned the Lord, despised the Holy One of Israel. They have turned away from Him." That's ancient Israel's apostasy. Hear the words of Jeremiah, who faced the same reality.
