1 John 2:18
polus: many, much, great antichrists have arisen [ginomai: to become, to come into being, to happen, to be made, to be done], whereby we know that it is the last hour.

The Greek adjective "polus" is used to describe a large quantity or number. It can refer to many people, much of something, or a great extent or degree. In the New Testament, "polus" is often used to emphasize abundance or multitude, whether in terms of people, things, or abstract concepts like time or effort.

In the first century, the apostle John said a great multitude of antichrists have arisen.
They arose from among the body of Christ, as was foretold by the apostles.
Acts 20:29, 30 - I know that after my departure, grievous wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock, Even from your own number, men will rise up and distort the truth to draw away disciples after them.

We are somewhere within that last hour... whether it be the last half an hour... fifteen minutes... we do not know, but what we do know, is that that great multitude of antichrists have proliferated, and will continue to grow, as Satan adds more of his ministers 2 Corinthians 11:15, up until the coming of the Lord, when they will meet their finish. 2 Thessalonians 2:8

Is it easy to identify the antichrists? Yes.
How can we identify the antichrists? By looking at the man Jesus Christ - what he did, and what he believed.
So, let's take a look at the scriptures, and identify, the antichrists that exist today.

A reminder, please read the Statement of Purpose (SOP) for this subforum, and follow the guidelines.
Posts that do not conform to the Guidelines of the SOP, will be ignored, as baseless, meaningless posts
. :grin:
Thank you.

The theory of Evolution
All life on Earth - including humanity - shares a last universal common ancestor (LUCA),[9][10][11] which lived approximately 3.5–3.8 billion years ago.

What the Bible says:
Matthew 19:4-6
4 And He answered and said to them, “Have you not read that He who made [ktizó: To create, to form, to make] them at the beginning ‘made them male and female,’ 5 and said, ‘For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh’? 6 So then, they are no longer two but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate.”

Is what Jesus taught in harmony with, or against the theory of evolution?
Jesus said created them from the beginning, male and female, and quoted from the book of Genesis 1:27, which reads...
So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. As well as Genesis 2:24 Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.

Jesus believed the book of Genesis, both Chapters 1 and 2, as being truth about his fathers creation. Do we?
Would Jesus accept, support, or teach as true, the theory of evolution? Can you identify antichrists and their teachings?
The antichrist deceives. Do we join them and agree with them?

It's our decision.
