Jehovahs witnesses do you view the false prophet as the antichrist?

The apostle John wrote that the antichrist was already existing in his day, and would be active right until Armageddon. Also, John used the term ';antichrists'; in plural, implying that several individuals would comprise an 'antichrist class'.


.. ..(1 John 2:18) Just as you have heard that antichrist is coming, even now there have come to be many antichrists





In the very next verse, John continues that comment by remarking that these antichrists were formerly true Christians who had strayed from the Truth.


.. ..(1 John 2:19) They went out from us, but they were not of our sort; for if they had been of our sort, they would have remained with us. But they went out that it might be shown up that not all are of our sort.





Thus, the antichrist is the body of apostate Christian deceivers. Members of ostensibly Christian churches are largely deceived themselves, but who among Christendom persist in teaching that which they know to be untrue? While not every clergyman of Christendom knowingly deceives his flock, those who do quite plainly identify themselves with this antichrist class of apostate Christian deceivers.

(NO); Jehovah Witnesses Do (NOT) view the ';false prophet'; as the ';Antichrist'; !


======================================…











. . 1. The ';false prophet';; that the Bible Book of Revelation Speaks About in Chapter 13; is the (DUAL) WORLD POWER of ';Both'; the United States %26amp; Great Britian !





. . 2. On the Other Hand; The ';Anti-Christ'; is Made Up of a (COLLECTION) of ';Many'; INDIVIDUALS that Oppose Christ !





. . 3. The Easiest Way to Separate the Two; Is to Remember that the ';false prophet'; is (PURELY) POLITICAL in Nature; Whearas the ';false prophet'; (MOSTLY) Consists of RELIGIOUS ELEMENTS !











p.s. Also; the ';Anti-Christ'; is (ONLY MENTIONED) in the Bible Books of 1st %26amp; 2nd JohnJehovahs witnesses do you view the false prophet as the antichrist?
For a fact, Jesus emphasized that feature of his presence more than anything else. For example, in response to his disciples question regarding his presence, the very first thing Jesus said was: “Look out that nobody misleads you; for many will come on the basis of my name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will mislead many.”





Further on in Matthew’s account Jesus said: “And many false prophets will arise and mislead many…”





And again in the 23rd verse Jesus warned his disciples, saying: “Then if anyone says to you, ‘Look! Here is the Christ,’ or, ‘There!’ do not believe it. For false Christs and false prophets will arise and will give great signs and wonders so as to mislead, if possible, even the chosen ones. Look! I have forewarned you.”





Clearly, if even the chosen ones run the risk of being misled by imposters and false prophets, so that Jesus was obligated to issue such an emphatic warning directed specifically to his disciples living during that time, it should be evident that the deception will come from a source the chosen ones do not expect. In order for the chosen ones to possibly be misled the deceivers would have to come from within the organization itself.





Elsewhere in scripture, namely II Peter, Jude, and Revelation, false prophets are described as certain men who operate quietly from within the congregations.





Indeed, Jesus went on to specifically forewarn his disciples that during the tribulation, false prophets and false christs could present a very real spiritual danger to even the chosen ones. But, in order for such deceitful workers to have any influence over Jehovah's chosen ones, it would be necessary for them to be inside the organization; posing as teachers and guides.





Indeed, how likely is it that any of Jehovah’s Witnesses could be misled by false prophets that may arise in Christendom?
The Antichrist has many faces.


The word “antichrist” applies to all who deny what the Bible says about Jesus Christ, all who oppose his Kingdom, and all who mistreat his followers. It also includes individuals, organizations, and nations that falsely claim to represent Christ or that improperly ascribe to themselves the role of Messiah by presumptuously promising to achieve that which only Christ can do—bring about true peace and security.


Any who fit into this category say ';aye';.
Antichrist means against or instead of Christ.


The term applies to all who deny what the Bible says


about Jesus Christ, all who oppose his Kingdom,


and all who mistreat his followers.


It also includes individuals, organizations,


and nations that falsely claim to represent Christ


or that improperly ascribe to themselves the role of Messiah.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~…


Some of those identified as antichrist---





All who deny that Jesus is the unique Son of God~~


1 John 2:22; ';This is the antichrist,


the one that denies the Father and the Son.';


compare John10:36; Luke 9:35.





Apostates~~


1 John 2:18,19; ';There have come to be many antichrists...


They went out from us, but they were not of our sort.';





Those who oppose Christ's true followers~~


John15:20,21; ';If they have persecuted me,


they will persecute you also...


But they will do these things against you


on account of my name.';





Individuals and nations that oppose Christ as King


or that themselves falsely claim the Messianic role~~


Ps 2:2; ';The kings of the earth take their stand


and high officials themselves have massed together


as one against Jehovah and against His Anointed one


{Christ or Messiah}.';
Witness stick pretty much to the Bible. It says there are many antichrists. So that is likely what they believe.





Details on eht antichrist:





The word appears five times, not in Revelation, but only in the books of 1st John and 2nd John. Here is a list of all occurrences of the word Antichrist in the Bible: 1 John 2:18-22. 1 John 4:1-3. 2 John 7.





If you read those texts you will see for yourself that the Bible says the following:





1. There are MANY antichrists.





2. Antichrists had already started appearing when the writer was writing the books.





1John.2:18





';Little children, it is the last hour: and as ye heard that antichrist cometh, even now have there arisen many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last hour.'; [ASV]








3. Antichrists are defined at those who left the original Christian congregation.





1John.2:19





';They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us: but [they went out], that they might be made manifest that they all are not of us.';








4. Antichrists contradict what the Bible actually says, which is what makes them Antichrists. However, although contradicting scripture, still profess belief in Christ.





1John.2:22





';Who is the liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist, [even] he that denieth the Father and the Son.';





1John.4:1





';Beloved, believe not every spirit, but prove the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets are gone out into the world. 2. Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: 3. and every spirit that confesseth not Jesus is not of God: and this is the [spirit] of the antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it cometh; and now it is in the world already.';





2John 1:07





';For many deceivers are gone forth into the world, [even] they that confess not that Jesus Christ cometh in the flesh. This is the deceiver and the antichrist.';
there are many false prophets, so which one do u mean? Or do u mean all of them? anyways, Answer: as part of the composite, antichrist.
I think the false prophet is part of the unholy trinity so the antiChrist can't be the same people and individual members of the nholy trinity at the same time.
