The AntiChrist

By Larry D. Harper

Subjects: Antichrist, Adversus haereses (Irenaeus, Saint, Bishop of Lyon)

Description: Focuses especially on Irenaeus, Against heresies (p. 5-26), and Hippolytus, Treatise on Christ and Antichrist (p. 27-56). Conclusion: Satan/antichrist, a Jew, will seize power during the last half of the seventieth week of Daniel (i.e., three and a half years), and reign from the rebuilt temple in Jerusalem. The Jews will proclaim him messianic king god. He will deceive a majority of the world's population and will persecute the believing minority. His reign ends with the coming of Christ. The two men agree on this point, and their view is validated by their closeness to the apostles (apostles -> Polycarp -> Irenaeus -> Hippolytus). The author is leader of Voice of Elijah (www.voiceofelijah.org).
