Destruction In Today's Churches - description html
Who is antichrist?
* In 1800, the Russians thought Napoleon was the antichrist.
* In 1940's, many thought Hitler was the antichrist.
* In 1960, some in Protestant church groups thought antichrist to be John F. Kennedy.

Amazingly the apostles John and Paul tell us in the Bible who antichrist is and even tell us where to expect to see antichrist!
John tells us there are "many" antichrists, not just one antichrist. And John said antichrists were already there trying to operate in the church in his day.
I John 2:18-19 Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.
They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.
The apostle Paul tells us antichrist will come through the church and Paul tell us exactly how antichrist manages to get control.
II Thessalonians 2:1-4 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him,
That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.
Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.

Paul even tells us that Jesus cannot return unless the apostasy first happens in the churches.
II Thessalonians 2:3-4 NASB Let no one in any way deceive you, for it will not come unless the apostasy comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction,
who opposes and exalts himself above every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, displaying himself as being God.

When we know these things we no longer have to be dismayed over the things we see done in churches. We certainly do not like seeing abominations in our church groups, but we understand by the Bible that these things had to happen before Jesus could return.
In this book, you will see specific examples of the operation of antichrist today in ministries as well as in individual churches and in the individuals in the congregations.
This book provides a base of information from the Bible and real life. I don't think anyone should find it depressing but rather illuminating. It cannot be stopped because it was something that had to happen in the end times according to Bible, and Jesus even told us this would come.
Matthew 24:3-5 And as HE sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto HIM privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of THY coming, and of the end of the world?
And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.
For many shall come in MY name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.

This cannot be stopped. They will not correct themselves in the ministries or churches.
So what do we do?
That is what this book is about.
