What Should We Expect from the Antichrist?

We’ve all heard the term “Antichrist,” but what does it really mean? Is it just a symbol of evil or a real person? And why does the Bible give us so many clues about someone who hasn’t even shown up yet? Chuck Missler takes these questions seriously in Expectations of the Antichrist Session 1. He doesn’t just repeat what everyone else says. He digs in—sometimes fast, sometimes deep—and draws connections from the Old and New Testaments that might surprise you. This first session sets the stage for understanding the Antichrist not as a vague idea, but as someone with a real history, a future mission, and spiritual implications that affect every believer.

Expectations of the Antichrist Session 1 – Why So Much Focus on One Man?

Chuck Missler points out something strange: the Bible says almost nothing about the early life of Jesus, but it has over 30 titles and dozens of details about the coming Antichrist. Why? Because this figure will be the ultimate counterfeit—Satan’s answer to Jesus Christ. Missler says the Antichrist isn’t just against Christ. He’s instead-of Christ. A fake messiah.

He also reminds us: the Antichrist doesn’t act alone. Just like Jesus had John the Baptist, the Antichrist has a “false prophet.” Satan always tries to copy what God does—but twist it.

Old Testament Clues You Might’ve Missed

This part gets interesting. Most people look only at Revelation when studying the Antichrist. Missler pulls in prophecies from Daniel, Isaiah, Ezekiel, and Zechariah. He connects dots between “the Assyrian” (a mysterious figure in the Old Testament) and the future Antichrist.

He walks through the strange symbolism of Daniel’s visions—like the ten-horned beast and the little horn that speaks great things. That “little horn” is the Antichrist, rising from a group of nations that were once part of the Roman Empire.

Missler also makes a case that the Antichrist will be Jewish, not Gentile. This surprises a lot of people. But he backs it up by pointing out that the Jews would only accept someone from their own people as a messiah.

The Antichrist’s Personality and Abilities

He won’t show up with horns and a pitchfork. Instead, Missler says he’ll be smart, charming, persuasive. He’ll seem like the answer to everything—peace, prosperity, unity. But behind the scenes, he’ll hate God and His people.

He’ll speak “great words,” meaning he’ll be an amazing speaker. Someone who sways crowds, wins over leaders, and deceives even believers—if that were possible. The Antichrist will use flattery, politics, miracles, and maybe even AI or bio-tech to gain total control.

Foreshadows and Final Plans

Missler believes we’re already seeing previews of what’s coming. The world is being conditioned for control—cashless systems, surveillance, globalism. He says future events “cast their shadows” before they arrive.

But his goal isn’t to scare. It’s to wake up the church. We’re not supposed to sit back and watch. We’re supposed to study, pray, and be ready.

The Big Takeaway

The Antichrist won’t come out of nowhere. The Bible gives us a pattern—he imitates Christ, appears peaceful, then turns deadly. Missler says the more you know Scripture, the harder it is for you to be fooled.

This session isn’t entertainment. It’s a warning. And a call to get serious about truth.
