All who have truly received the call to sonship and have received a revelation of the present truth of God have forever ceased listening to all the drivel pouring forth from the lips and pens of these carnal-minded deceivers. Apart from the spirit of wisdom and revelation from God anyone with one eye and half sense should be able to figure out that their track record is not very convincing! Every time there is movement in the Middle East they get a new antichrist! The problem with putting the antichrist in the White House, or in Europe, or in Iraq, or in Russia, or in Israel, or some other place, is that as long as you keep him out there in the external realm of world events you never have to deal with him. You see, once you realize that there really are only two men in the earth — Adam and Christ — the first man and the second man, the earthly man and the heavenly man, it shouldn’t be too difficult to determine which of these two men is the antichrist! That gives you only two men to choose from, and that certainly narrows down the odds, doesn’t it! In reality, the full truth runs much deeper than that, but that is certainly a very good starting point! Suppose I were a pursued fugitive. Now, if I could get my pursuers sidetracked and get them to fire on a stuffed dummy made to represent myself, they would thus, by diverting their fire from me, aid in my escape. Satan has a dummy antichrist set up, a horrible creature who will never appear. And the Christian Church is busily engaged in wasting their time and ammunition on this dummy! They are telling what a terrible creature he will be, all the while ignorant of the fact that the true criminal is in their very midst! If the adversary can get the people of God to look for some imaginary man of sin yet to appear, some fictitious son of perdition to come, then he has won a victory, because then WE WILL NEVER DISCOVER THE MAN OF SIN WHERE HE ACTUALLY IS ABIDING! The detrimental and deceiving effect of the notion of antichrist being some world leader past or present or future, is, that while people have their eyes focused on world events, they are not alert to discern his presence now — and that gives him opportunity to do a great deceptive work right in their midst. The old serpent is still very crafty, my beloved, and if he can keep us peering out into the mists of either the past or the future, we will overlook the reality in our own generation and time, and within our very own lives. “Little children, it is the very 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” (I Jn. 2:18). Ah, my brother, my sister, the Christian Church, for the past two thousand years, has been literally filled with antichrists! And the present-day crop is busily engaged in pointing the finger of accusation at some poor defenseless and fictitious person who is supposed to appear at someindefinite period in the future. That is the adversary’s trick to keep men’s eyes off of the real culprit! Satan is the sole author of the doctrines which keep men looking ahead to some character who will never appear, thus aiding his present-day emissaries to carry on his work without interruption. It is high time for God’s people to awake, and learn what they are playing with. There is poison in the pot! Ah, beloved, it is high time for all the preachers and teachers and would-be prophets to leave their ignorance of God and His majestic purposes and acknowledge their desperate lack, forsaking forever thedelusions of their dead letter-of-the-word interpretations of prophecy, and turn to the Lord for true SPIRITUAL WISDOM AND UNDERSTANDING. Thank God! He is delivering every one of His chosen elect from all this carnal-minded tom-foolery and replacing it all with the glorious mind of Christ! The transformation is taking place in some even as they read these lines!
