I can show where God’s inspired word actually states that antichrists deny Christ/God and that there are many that have been in the world since John wrote the verses. (see 1John2:18, 1John2:22, 1John4:3, and 2John1:7) Can you show us one verse that says antichrist is a world leader or false Christ? No you can’t all you can provide is a doctrinally based argument.
And the original Antichrist is the main... denier of God, because he said he's going to be... God, and worshipped in place of God! (Isaiah 14:12-15). The devil is the coming Antichrist our Lord Jesus and His Apostles were warning us about. That's why in Revelation our Lord Jesus associated the title of "dragon" with that coming false one (Rev.12:7-9; Rev.13:11-17; Rev.16:13; Rev.20:2).
I can show where God’s inspired word tells us beasts are kingdoms(see dan7:23) and history proves it true with Daniel’s lion beast being Babylon, the bear Medo-Persia, and the leopard being Greece. Can you show us where God’s inspired word tells us a beast is the antichrist? No you can’t all you can do is spew unproven doctrine.
Yes, I can tell you where God's Word declares a 2nd beast as a specific individual coming, appearing with two horns like a lamb, but speaking as a dragon. It's written in Rev.13:11 about the "another beast". Obviously, the word "another" means a different beast than the first one mentioned in Rev.13:1.
Rev 13:11-13
11 And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.
12 And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.
13 And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,
(KJV)
Pretty easy to know that when "another beast" is mentioned separate from a "first beast", that a 2nd one is being declared! It's not only Scripturally correct, but reading using common sense. So someone duped away from that simplicity really does show how blinded they are with the doctrines of men.
And who were we told is the "dragon" per Scripture? The devil himself, per Rev.12:9 and Rev.20:2. That's so easy a little child can figure that out!
