How many antichrist is mentioned in the Bible?

Answer 1

There are five verses in The Bible that deal with this word and they are:

1. 1 John 2:18 "and ye have heard that antichrist shall come"
2. 1 John 2:22 "He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son"
3. 1 John 4:3 "this is that spirit of antichrist"
4. 1 John 1:7 " this is a deceiver and an antichrist"
5. 1 John 2:18 "even now there are many antichrists" (Strongest Strong's Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible).

In the Old Testament, 'antichrist' was an individual (Dan. 7:25; 8:10,13; 11:40) or a group of people (Dan. 7:7-28) who oppose God and His purpose (1 John 2:18,22; 4:3; 2 John 7). Many Jews viewed the arrival of Antiochus Epiphanes IV as the embodiment of these verses. Yet the rule of Antiochus did not meet the full expectations of these Scriptures. In 1 John 2:18, antichrists were human teachers who had left the church. In 2 Thess. 2:1-12, the antichrist figured is armed with satanic power and is fused with Belial, a satanic being. In Revelation, the Roman Caesar is the antichrist. The Bible clearly represents "antichrist' as any one person or group of people who are in opposition to God.
