False Antichrist

I've been reading about Revalations & End times recently and a few things came to mind. Is there anything stating that there will be false antichrists before the actual rapture and tribulation? I'll give a list of this groups trade marks but for the sake of this website, I won't mention any names directly.

Possible figures for Antichrist AND False Prohpet which claim to be peacful, loving, people but openly speak of carnage and death of Christians (all classified as child molestors and hypocrits) ,
Mark establishing who is loyal on the wrists,
Strong suggestion of one religion made up of all religions for one following, Claims their following which they belong to, is God, Also this group has a very strong following, which in the eyes of Christ, could be considered worship.

This has been in the back of my mind for quite some time even before I actually came to Christ. At first glance, most people would just over look this group because the signs aren't there unless you've followed them for quite some time. I did for 10 years and also took the mark on my wrists, not knowing at the time what I was doing. The reason I say 'FALSE' Antichrist is because I assumed the rapture would happen before any of this did.

What is truly scary is that the true King Messiah will usher in peace. But since the Christian GT (Greek text) warns against someone who does such a thing, Christians may very well believe that the real King Messiah will be the big bad antichrist!

You need to study Revelation with a balancing of Tanakh ('old testament') or you will be in for a bunch of confusion if King Messiah comes in your lifetime.

Let me rephrase that, "Reading about End Times" Not just The Rev

i can appreciate that...but when you say end times...are you refering to books?...or simply scripture?...

if scripture...and i am not arguing here, but...i would like to see what you found that seems to teach the rapture...

BUT first...it would be prudent to tell us what you think the rapture is according to your understanding..

...a secret calling up or what?......

when the children of Israel were "led up" out of Egypt.
would you consider this a "rapture"?
a "catching away"?

one thing i have often considered about that is the fact of many saying we won't know our families in heaven...i have heard that said many times....

but when one reads the exodus, and the rev....they are sooo similair in many ways....

and one thing in ex that happened when GOD called andlead the israelites out of egypt, HE placed them each in their, family, clan, and tribe...called them out...lead them out by keeping them together as families...

i think that is cool...

No the exodus is not a catching away in any sense.

The end result of the exodus was the Israelites were to live in the promised land, a life of work.

The end result of the rapture is a period of rest. In fact a marriage to our bridegroom Jesus with the usually wedding night.

Yes both groups left one area and went into another area but that is probably the only similarity.
