antichrist In this library, I have placed books that deal with the anti-christ. This is a subcategory under Eschatalogy. In this library both books on revelation and the end times anti-christ, and also the many anti-christs that live among us, opposing Christ’s person and character are included.
Anti-christ is a Christian term based on interpretation of passages in the New Testament, in which the term “anti-christ” occurs five times in 1 John and 2 John (Greek: ἀντίχριστος, antichristos), once in pluralform and four times in the singular.
In some Christian eschatologies, Jesus the Messiah will appear in his Second Coming to Earth to face the emergence of the Antichrist figure, who will be the greatest false messiah in Christianity. Just asChrist is the savior and the ideal model for humanity, his opponent in the end time will be a single figure of concentrated evil, according to Bernard McGinn.
In Islamic eschatology, Masih ad-Dajjal (the False messiah in Islam) is an anti-Messiah figure (similar to the Christian concept of Antichrist), who will appear to deceive humanity before the second coming of “Isa”, as Jesus is known by Arabic-speaking Muslims. In Jewish eschatology, a similar anti-Messiah figure is called Armilus. Wikipedia.org
