Show Notes by Jim Kerwin for Kernels of Wheat Podcast Episode 023 – Will the Real Antichrist(s) Please Stand Up?

A Short History of Antichrist

The entry for antichrist in Strong’s Concordance. These five entries–four verses–are the only places where the word ever occurs in the entire Bible. Note the plural in 1 John 2:18. Click on the image for a larger view.

Intro: In the old TV game show, To Tell the Truth, several panelists asked questions of three mystery guests.  One guest had a unique story or occupation or claim to fame; but the other guests were decoys, whose presence and answers were meant to deceive the panelists.  The panelists were allowed to ask questions of all three guests, and in the end had to guess which one had told the truth.  After they had guessed, the moderator would say, “Will the real [mystery guest] please stand up?” and the truth would be revealed.  Seeing the truth “stand up” in 1 John is our goal, with the help of the Holy Spirit.  In this episode, we will be looking for history and the Scriptures “To Tell the Truth” about what has — and should be — taught about the subject of antichrists.  “Will the real antichrists please stand up?”
