The Anti-Christ Jesus is Dominant Against the Father

The Anti-Christ Jesus is Dominant Against the Father

 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.

23 Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also.

     The Antichrist Jesus is a millennial Jesus that claims to be the Father also. One of the first pictures we have on him in Revelation shows him blaspheming the Father God: “And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.  And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.” (Revelation 13: 5-6)

     The Jesus Only oneness deception is a perfect picture of this Antichrist Jesus. Like all false teachings it has confused a host of good, decent people. It breaks my heart to see people I love in this camp. Everything about the Bible gets all mixed up when the view of Jesus Christ is out of focus. Jesus prayed to His Father the night before His crucifixion a humble prayer of submission. “And he went a little farther, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt.” (Matthew 26:39) That settles the question.

     The true Christ is so magnificent that the thought of Him thrills the heart. The false Christ denies the “Father and the Son.” The Bible says that this is the antichrist: “Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son. Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also.” (I John 2: 22-23) To deny either the Father or His only begotten Son is the work of the End Time deception.

     If you are pleased to know how vicious, blasphemous, and wicked the antichrist will be, first look at the Magnificent Son of God and how glorious He is. Nothing will prepare you to recognize the false Christ except the marvel of our Lord Jesus Christ. He is magnificent beyond human words. His life was a perfect picture of absolute purity and human perfection. There was no mark of the adamic nature and His blood was Divine Blood, fully capable of atoning for all sin and failure of the entire universe. He alone could purge out the root of iniquity.

     The single great truth that will revive the church is the glory of Jesus Christ revealed. Above all else, that is what the Book of Revelation is all about. No wonder the devil hates this “Masterpiece Book”. Jesus Christ lives in this Book in all the Glory of His Eternal Person as well as the Glory of His Father. Any man that will ever understand this great “Masterpiece” must learn to stand on his spiritual tiptoes and walk through its dramas like walking on rose petals. Revelation is a Divine sunrise and sunset together, given by the Father to finish the Redemption of all things.

 2 Thessalonians 2

7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.

8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:

9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,

10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.

      It is His most intimate communication to His beloved Jewels, His Saints. Great was everything He said as the Son of Man. Now He is the First Begotten from the dead and has been rewarded by the Father. The Father has given Him a name above every name, and He manifests the glory of all those names in this Revelation. This book is the mountain peak, and this chapter is the first summit. The last summit will be seen in the last two chapters when He takes His abode in the city of New Jerusalem with His Bride.

     Chapter One is clothed in Christ’s Glory and that Glory shines brighter as this revelation unfolds. First, John describes the Lord’s prophecy as it is spoken to him. Twenty-two picture words are employed in revealing Jesus Christ as the source of this Book. The eternal revelations of Jesus Christ must show the transcending facts of His Person. While these twenty-two descriptions only deal with His Incarnation among men, the next part of the First Chapter takes us into the realm of the Glorified. Here are the Word Revelations of Jesus Christ – Messiah, Son of man, Son of God.

  1. The Faithful Witness – Truth Incarnate
  2.  The Faithful Martyr – Unto death
  3.  First Begotten of the Dead – First resurrected eternal body
  4.  Prince of the Kings of the Earth – Every king shall bow
  5.  That loved us – Took upon Himself the form of a servant
  6.  Washed us from our sins – His blood has made us holy
  7.  His own blood – Divine blood that is eternal
  8.  He cometh with clouds – His promise is never forgotten
  9.  Every eye shall see Him – Soon He will be recognized by all
  10.  They also which pierced Him – His beloved kin are not forgotten
  11.  All kindred shall wail – Judgment will touch every living thing
  12.  Amen – He is the finality of life
  13.  I Am – The first title God gave of Himself
  14.  Alpha – The first word of all words ever spoken
  15.  Omega – The last word to ever be spoken
  16.  The Beginning – Time starts with Him
  17.  The End – He is finality, the end of everything
  18.  The Lord – His words are final – He is over all
  19.  Which is – Self-existing and without beginning
  20.  Which was – Came out of eternity to be known by all
  21.  Which is to come – Will come again to finish all things
  22.  The Almighty – Without Him was not anything made

 Revelation 13

5 And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.

6 And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.

    John hears the first description of the Lord but then he sees the finished picture as a Heavenly drama and His excellent Glory dazzles him until he falls upon his face. John is in the Spirit and beholds a priestly Christ that actually sits at the Father’s right hand. This description includes eighteen additional picture words. This drama leaves no doubt that the Son of God has total Lordship over everything of His Church and is manifesting the fullness of the prophetic future. Look at this revealing description.

  1. I am Alpha and Omega – The A to Z
  2.  One like unto the Son of Man – The Christ we loved
  3.  Clothed with a garment down to the foot – Readers will remember the Priestly robes
  4.  Girt about the paps with a golden girdle – This attire can only describe the High Priest
  5.   His head and hair were white like wool – Eternal
  6.  His eyes were as a flame of fire – Awesome Holiness
  7.  His feet like unto fine brass – Omnipotence
  8.  His voice as the sound of many waters – Omnipresence
  9.  In His right hand were seven stars – Angels charged to defend holiness in His churches
  10.  Out of His mouth a sharp, two-edged sword – The Word of God incorruptible and unfailing
  11.  His countenance was as the sun shineth in His strength – The glory of His Father
  12.  I am the first and the last – And everything in between
  13.  And the last – The end of all things
  14.  I am He that liveth – This is life evermore
  15.  And was dead – He was the Master of His own death
  16.  Behold, I am alive forevermore – Death is defeated
  17.  Amen – The work of God is finished – It’s time to settle the last war
  18.  Has the keys of hell and of death – The valley of the shadow of death is now a sun-kissed highway to Glory.

 Matthew 24

21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.

22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened.

     This is a picture of Divinity that walked the pathways of human flesh until He could die with the pain of every human care. As He lived in our midst, He robbed our enemy of his weapons. Now, this Victor has stepped right back into the Father’s presence and taken His seat at the Altar of Grace wearing the robe of the High Priest and possessing all the rights of our Redeemer. He has all the possessions and appearances of final victory. He is the “Amen” of a new world soon to come.

     John leaves no question about the people to whom this book is written. This book is the property of the church. Not only is it their property, it is their future and their responsibility. No treasure of great value is ever given to the saints to sit on, to hoard up, or to be put on the library shelf. This treasure is given to enrich the saints and to fill them with a hope that fills every day with expectation.

     “Blessed” are those that “read, hear, and keep” the things written. Prophecy is history written in advance. God’s people are the only people in the world that have the future in their hands. Most of the world grieves over what they cannot know about tomorrow, the next day, the next year, or the next decade. We have all of that and the next one hundred years and the next one thousand years and the next ten thousand years; yet we ignore it. We are blessed because we have nothing to worry about. The future is just as sure as was the past. So, John got the truth from the Maker of truth and has it all written in stone. He says to read it, hear it, obey it, and be happy.
