The so-called "antichrist"

The word "antichrist" is the product of a bad translation as a result of the non-observance of the linguistic and translation rules, because the word "christ" is the result of the latinization of a greek word, when there was an equivalent in other tongue, the word Messiah. So the correct translation should have been antimessiah.

Is important to mention, that this word "antichrist" (correct translation antimessiah) only appears 5 times in all the Holy Scriptures, in the first and second letter of John.

Let's see what the apostle John wrote: I John 2:18 "Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist (antimessiah) shall come, even now there are many antichrists (antimessiahs); whereby we know that it is the last time."

Analyzing this passage, it is appreciated, that John believed that he was in the last time, that everything had arrived to its end. He considered that it was the last time because there had risen many "antichrists" and that was an unequivocal proof that he was in the last time. However, centuries and generations passed, history was not over, time demonstrated how wrong he was, and the worst is that he incorporated a word that brought much confusion, distorting the vision that there must be about the future and the end of times…

Let's see what he said about these antimessiahs: II John 1:7 "For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus the Messiah is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist ( antimessiah)."

As it can be seen, John was not talking in singular form of an antichrist (antimessiah), but was talking about several antichrists (antimessiahs) in the first century, who denied that Jesus the Messiah had come in flesh, and that was the characteristic of such people. John was not talking about a future character, but for him many antichrists had already emerged in the first century, quite the contrary to what christian religions have said and say when they affirm that the antichrist is coming…

Time after that these letters were written, the Messiah shared to John, in the isle of Patmos, the Revelation that HE had received from the very same God, and there it is evident that there will not exist any antichrist, and contrary to that, it can be appreciated by the lecture of the Book of Revelations (Apocalypse) that what there is talked about, is of the forthcoming of two personages that prophetically receive the name of beasts…
