The Antichrist Is An Office: Every Age Gets The Antichrist It Deserves.

Every Age Gets The Antichrist It Deserves.

A theological reflection on false gospels,
Christian leadership in Nigeria,
selective outrage,
and how internal corruption is far more damaging to the Body of Christ
than the objects of their conspiracy theories.

The Antichrist is an office. An ancient one. Fully staffed, with a well-rehearsed game plan. Scripture does NOT speak of this office in vague or mystical terms.

It speaks plainly: “Even now, many antichrists have come.”

The full passage is worth reading slowly:

“The world is passing away, along with its desires; but whoever does the will of God remains forever.

Children, it is the last hour; and just as you have heard that the antichrist is coming, so now many antichrists have appeared. This is how we know it is the last hour. 

(1 John 2:17–18)

The text says many. Plural. Already.
Meaning this evil does not arrive once at the end of time. It comes and goes.

Verse 19 is equally interesting:

19a: They went out from us, but they did not belong to us. 

19b: For if they had belonged to us, they would have remained with us.

19c: But their departure made it clear that none of them belonged to us.”

The Four Horsemen, Riding Together

A certain leader today fulfils the attributes of all four horsemen of the apocalypse:

• An undeserved crown — riding a white horse, carrying a bow but no arrows (conquest through deception; cf. Revelation 6:2)

• War through division

• Famine through economic violence, even in the middle of abundance

• Death, not only of bodies, but of institutions, language, trust, and mercy

All four horses ride together. Not from heaven, but from a heart intoxicated with power.

This raises an unavoidable question: how can we call ourselves Christians and yet cling to one who is clearly not from heaven—one drunk on dominance, spectacle, and self-worship?

A Question That Refuses to Go Away

In recent weeks, while engaged in debate—which I have found genuinely beneficial to my own learning—a question kept returning.

Why is there no anti-Buddha?
Why is there no anti-Moses?
Why is there no anti-Muhammad?

Why does this counterfeit phenomenon keep appearing only in Christianity?

Why Power Hates Christ

I believe the answer is simple and disturbing: power hates the story of Christ.

Christ is a King who refused the throne. His heart lay not with the rich and powerful, but with the poor, the broken, and the downtrodden. He preached mercy and placed it higher than justice. He sacrificed Himself to set captives free.

Power knows it cannot defeat Christ.
So it seeks to replace Him.

Counterfeit Christianity

There exists a certain so-called “National Prayer Breakfast” movement that has been exported across nations. Its creed is not subtle. It seeks to replace Christ with a figure who projects power. The Netflix Series: "The Family" throws more light on this opaque organisation who proper name is, "The Fellowship".

...And yet many who consider themselves seasoned Christians—especially those who have been believers for decades—remain astonishingly blind to the machinations of such Antichrist movements. 

And this is just one of several antichrist organisations. Movements speak the same language, use the same symbols, and quote the same Scriptures, but are animated by a spirit other than the Holy Spirit.

Back to Nigeria: An Uncomfortable Truth

Here is the uncomfortable truth.

The Christian Association of Nigeria has chosen to trade in conspiracy theories
rather than lift a finger to help those they claim to represent.

Fulani expansionism.
Jihad.
Jihad.
Jihad.

Yet the Islam they loudly decry—
an Islam that acknowledges Christ as one of its prophets,
the Word of God,
and His return, according to its own holy book—
this Islam does far less damage to the Body of Christ
than the false gospels preached in His name
Sunday after Sunday
and quietly tolerated.

And the pastors who preach such heresy?

They form its executive arm.

They lift no finger to help the poor,
yet cry persecution at every discomfort.
They excuse cruelty,
canonize greed,
and baptize lies,
all while claiming to be messengers of the Cross.

Foot Soldiers

Knowingly or unknowingly, they have become foot soldiers of the Antichrist—not because they deny Christ, but because they defend everything Christ refused to be.

---

Remember This

The Antichrist does not oppose Christ by denying Him. He opposes Christ by impersonating Him.

He promises salvation without repentance, victory without sacrifice, and power without love.

Every age gets the Antichrist it deserves.

Let those who have ears hear.
Let those who have hearts discern.
