Antichrist
For the
Friedrich Nietzsche book, see
The Antichrist. For the
Gorgoroth album, see
Antichrist (album). In
Christian eschatology the Antichrist or anti-Christ has come to mean a
person,
image of a person, or other
entity that is an
embodiment of
evil. Antichrist is translated from the combination of two ancient
Greek words αντί + χριστος (' + khristos), which can mean anti "opposite" (of) khristos "
anointed" therefore "opposite of Christ" (the meaning of
christ as 'anointed one' having become secondary to its meaning as the honorific of
Jesus of Nazareth) or anti "as" (if) khristos "messiah" thus "in place of Christ". An antichrist can be opposed to Christ by striving to be in the place of Christ. The term itself appears 5 times in
1 John and
2 John of the New Testament — once in plural form and 4 times in the singular, and is popularly associated with the belief of a competing and assumed evil entity opposed to Jesus of Nazareth. The term is also often applied to prophecies regarding a "Little horn" power in Daniel 7, and is used in conjunction with many
end times teachings.
