THE ANTICHRIST, HIS PERSONALITY, HIS ACTIVITY AND HIS GREAT POWER OF SEDUCTION

Summary/Abstract: The Antichrist, his personality, his activity and his great power of seduction. In the literature of the New Testament we discover an evolution and a deepening of the figure of the Antichrist starting from the person of Christ and not only by his contrast with Christ. Saint Paul, in 2 Ts 2, 3b-4 speaks to us of a mysterious character, the man of iniquity, in a context in which he deals with the coming of the Lord, which precedes the imminent coming of Christ; he presents himself as a false prophet who falsifies the true revelation, being the false par excellence. In the epistles of John (cf. 1 Jn 2, 18.22; 4, 3; 2 Jn 7) the Antichrist is not only a character who will come, but has already come, is already present in the history of Christians; it is not just one but there are many antichrists who endanger the mystery of the incarnation and the Christian faith. With the same intention it is presented in Revelation (cf. cc. 12-13), through the figure of the dragon and the beast, as representations of Satan, in order to counterfeit the Christian religion. Throughout history, past, present and future, his activity and manifestation of his personality will be that of embodying all the earthly powers that, with the help of the wrong instruments and mechanisms, ideologies and dictatorships to spread separation, evil, sin and even death.
