The Antichrist

The Problem

1. Why has the church in every age believed they were the last generation?
2. Why did Jesus have to wait so long to return to earth?
3. Why do people fall for rumours instead of checking things out for themselves?

Paul’s Short Answer

1. Why does God allow the Antichrist to come to deceive honest people?  Could it be that some sincere people will be misled?
2. If the elect cannot be deceived, what will Satan get out of impersonating Christ?

The Restrainer

1. Who is responsible for the delay (if there is any) in Christ’s return, God, Satan, humans?
2. Does a delay bring in more people to the fold, or cause some to backslide, or both? What is gained by a delay?

The Antichrist

1.  How can we communicate our teaching to Catholics on the antichrist?
2. Can Satan work miracles?

Truth and Lies

1. Why do people reject truth and accept lies?
2. Can and should God do more to unmask the work of Satan?
3. If God were to expose the work of Satan, would more people join His side?
