Introduction: It is already here! The Spirit of the Antichrist was prevalent during John’s time as well as our day. How can one tell when the Spirit of the Antichrist is present?

1. When Jesus Christ is denied! (1John 2:18)

“18Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.”

(1John 4:1-3)

“Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. 2Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: 3And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.”

In concluding, not only do we see the Spirit of Antichrist more and more but we should be able to detect this movement and refute its claims.

2. When the Bible is defied! (Gen 3:1-15)

“And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: 5For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.”

This is Satan’s chief tool. Beware. Watch out. Be on guard.

3. When Satan is desired! (Rev 13:1-18)

“……And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?”

This world political, religious and economic leader will rule the world.

But his demise is inevitable. Jesus will throw him into the lake of fire.
