I am for sure not arguing. Just thinking of this verse: Children, it is the last hour; and just as you heard that antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have appeared. From this we know that it is the last hour.
So, I must admit, I’ve never noticed this verse! I’ve been a strong Christian for decades, went to Christian school, Christian college and my parents dragged us to church Sun. am, Sun. pm, Wed. nights and to every VBS within a 20 miles radius and I’ve been a student of the WORD via Shepherd’s Chapel for 32 years! I am now on a deep dive to find out exactly what this means bc Apollyon, Abaddon, the Assyrian, the Destroyer, THE Anti-Christ is described over & over as THE one who comes in all charming, charismatic and handsome, deceiving loads of people, sitting where he ought not be seated, and remains in power, until the
2 witnesses are killed, lying in the street, then God brings them back to
life and Katy, bar the door. Michael is let loose— all that… (paraphrased! 😝)
That all adds up to HE, ONE being, to me. SO… (to quote our fearless leader, Jeff) I’m in a deep dive to get
to the bottom of why “there are many antichrists” yet its always referred to as “HE”.
No apology necessary! I believe both — “many” and “one” — are correct. Let me know what you learn, as I am still learning too, of course. Blessings to you.
But he’s def not the AC. He isn’t handsome, charming, charismatic nor compelling. He’s def one of
his minions.
There are many antichrists…
After studying diligently to show myself approved for 33 years, I disagree wholeheartedly, but I respect you way too much to argue.
I am for sure not arguing. Just thinking of this verse: Children, it is the last hour; and just as you heard that antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have appeared. From this we know that it is the last hour.

Any one opposed say Anti.
