“By his hair plugs ye shall know him”
You know, you don’t hear much about the prophesied anti-Buddha or anti-Mohammed, or anti-Krishna. I wonder why that is…
Trivia – did you know that the word Antichrist does not appear in the book of Revelations? It appears four times in the book of First John. That’s it. Only one of those four times is it paired with the definitive article “the”, and in one of those cases, it is used as an adjective. It mentions that readers of the Johannine community have “heard” (not read) that an antichrist will come, though it isn’t clear where or from whom they may have heard it. It isn’t clear whether the Presbyter means to contradict that notion or to use it as a jumping off point, but his comment is only that there are already several antichrists among them.
It’s odd how such a small Biblical foot-note has captured the imagination of so many Americans, and how every Beast and Son of Perdition mentioned elsewhere in the New Testament is assumed by so many to be the “antichrist” of First John.
