THE ANTICHRIST

THE ANTI-CHRIST

By: Jo Smith ~~~~ September 6, 2026

Everyone seems to be anxiously awaiting for a one-man antiChrist that will rule this world.  They guess and guess and guess again:  it is this one; no, that one.  Etc.   Yet they still have no idea of the truth because they do not look to God’s word for these answers.

In this message I will show you clearly who the antiChrist is.  Anything that has to do with the things of God/religion/salvation, has to be proven with written Scripture.  There is no other source of God’s truth except God’s own word.  Yet few seek the answers from the Word of God.  They turn to the words of carnal minded men. 

The word antichrist is mentioned only four times in the Word of God.  

1 John 2:22  Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.

V18: 

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.

1 John 4: 3  

And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.

2 John 1: 7   

For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.

Now that is the only time the word antichrist is named in Scripture.  So to say anything other than this is to add to God’s word which God forbids.  We must find out who or what the antichrist is from those four verses. 

First, when does this occur?  It is clear that John said in his time there were already MANY ANTICHRISTS IN THE WORLD.  Not one word is stated that this would be just one certain man.  It said MANY.  … already there, then.  Yet I see no one who seems to understand this simple thing. 

So what identifies one as antichrist?  Anyone who denies the Father AND the Son.  This includes all who say that Jesus is the Father/god and the only one.  That denies a Father/Son relationship.  One cannot be his own father and his own son.  That is not sensible.  So we have in the world an entire denomination of people who swear that Jesus is God and that there is no other.  But Scripture says that God is not a man nor the son of man.  So they are calling God a lie and denying that Jesus came in the flesh or is a man.  They are antichrist.  That entire church is antichrist.  The word, ‘anti’ means against.  So antichrist means against Christ or anyone who teaches stuff that is against or contrary to what Jesus Christ taught. 

Most people seem to think that this is a governmental thing.  They think a certain president is or will be The Antichrist.  Sure that system is not of God BUT IT IS NOT THE ANTICHRIST that Scripture speaks of.  This is purely a RELIGIOUS thing.  IT is antichrist; not antigovernment. 

Everyone that I have ever heard says this is yet to be…  a certain powerful man will rise up and rule the world.  Yet not one single verse of Scripture says this.  It said ALREADY THERE ARE MANY ANTICHRIST in the world… THEN. 

It also said, they are deceivers.  Deceiving and being deceived.  So what is that deception?  It is teaching things that are contrary to what Jesus taught.

Who does that? All churches, preachers, evangelists, popes, priests, and almost all church members.    People do not study God’s word for HIS truth;  they just listen to their lying preacher.  So they are all antichrist. 

All churches say Jesus is God and the only one or say that God is three persons or a trinity.  Yet not one single scripture says that, so all who teach this lie are antichrist.

Most churches deny the baptism of the Holy ghost as it came on the Day of Pentecost;  they deny the gifts of the Spirit for us today;  they say that speaking in tongues is of the devil; they deny faith healing;  they say that Jesus cannot cleanse us from all of our sins and keep us clean, so they are all antichrist.

Jesus said his people are all ONE, there is no difference;  he prayed in John 17 that we would all be ONE AS HE AND HIS FATHER ARE ONE.  So everyone who denies this total oneness of one body yet many members are antichrist.

Jesus told his disciples that they should not rule over each other as others do. He said we are all one, meaning equals or free.  Yet all churches still set up one man to rule over the others.  They tell you what you can and cannot do;  you are bound to their church and not free to go anywhere else.  They say you must tithe and pay that leader.  All of this is antichrist. 

Jesus said he that is least among you shall be greatest.  Paul said every member can prophesy.  He said when you come together FIRST pray.  Everyone there should join in prayer and worship.  Yet this is not observed in churches today.  If one member receives some revelation from God he is not permitted to speak it because that paid leader is the only one permitted to teach, so it is antichrist.

Jesus set us free from that old law system;  he nailed it to his cross thus taking it out of the way.  HE said the just shall live by faith; not the works of the law.  Yet every church today has put the people right back under the old law. They say you must keep a weekly sabbath when Jesus said the rest is the baptism of the Holy Ghost.  They say you must tithe and pay a preacher or pope or priest.  Jesus said the things of God are free, so all who take pay for it and give pay for it are antichrist and have the sure mark of the beast. 

Jesus taught that the place to worship is in your heart, in spirit and in truth, not any certain place or time.  He said God hates the solemn assembly and the appointed time and place.  Yet all churches have the set time and place.  God hates it and he hates your fancy rich buildings.  So you are all antichrist.

Jesus said, Worship God and him only.  Yet all churches worship idols, keeping idol holidays.  God said he blotted the day of Jesus’ birthday out of existence, Job 3, and yet all churches do the evil xmess holiday, so they are all antichrist

You churches do defy God at every turn and do exactly what he commanded you not to do. Then you fail to do what He said to do.  He said to love the Lord God with all your heart, soul, mind and strength. Yet you love your idols more than God.  You, CHURCH, are antichrist. 

You pretend to be still looking for that mysterious certain antichrist to come on the scene, as Adam, pretending you are innocent.  Yet you are THE ANTICHRIST.  Who?  All churches.   You all go by the old law system.  You have fallen from Grace and therefore are antichrist. This, you carnal minded church folks, and all sinners, are THE BEAST that you pretend to be looking for.   GO LOOK IN THE MIRROR and there you will see the antichrist/beast. 

The Baptist church says you cannot ever be Holy;  that you sin every day;  Yet Jesus said be ye Holy for I am Holy and also he that is born of God sins not.  They deny the baptism of the Holy Ghost and baptism in the name of Jesus Christ so they are antichrist.  Everything that they teach is lies against the word of God, so they are antichrist.

The adventist proclaim nothing but OT law;  Saturday Sabbath, do not eat meats, they also deny the Holy Ghost and every gift of the Spirit so they are ANTICHRIST

The catholic denies everything that God said.  They set up a pope to rule and not one word of Scripture mentions such a thing.  They brought up the lie of a trinity god, xmess, and all other idol worship. THEY ARE ANTICHRIST.

No need to name them all because they are all the same.  THEY ARE ALL ANTICHRIST/BEAST.   This is why God called me out of all of them.  This is why God said to all of his people COME OUT OF HER THAT YOU RECEIVE NOT OF HER PLAGUES.   IF YOU ADD TO HIS WORD HE WILL ADD THE PLAGUES TO YOU.  

There is a huge group of people who fell into the horrible lies of William Branham.  They are antichrist because they deny Jesus and love this man.  They claim you must believe in this man to become a bride of Christ.  They go out and testify for or of this man.  They even call him their saviour/god.  They say he is an OT prophet when God’s word declares that there are no more OT prophets since John the Baptist.  The law and prophets were UNTIL JOHN.  so this entire group of deceived folks are all antichrist.

So the solid conclusion of this message is ALL CHURCHES TODAY ARE ANTICHRIST.  They flat deny all that Jesus taught and made up lies instead.  COME OUT OF HER THAT YOU RECEIVE NOT OF HER PLAGUES. 

But do not think that just because you are not in some church or religious system that they frees you from being antichrist.  Not so.  You also are antichrist because you do reject all that Jesus did for us and are therefore an unbeliever.  This makes you also be antichrist.  So the entire world that does not obey Jesus Christ and the things taught in the New Testament are ANTICHRIST.   This clearly shows that almost this entire world today is antichrist.  Many.  today. Already here. 

I see anytime I teach on this subject those who say, Oh but THE ANTICHRIST is yet to come and rule the world.  SEE?  THIS IS how they set up the lies of man over what God said.  You, who say such things ARE THE ANTICHRIST.  You do set men’s word above God’s word.  That is antichrist.
