Jerry Falwell once told an audience in Kingsport, Tenn., that the Antichrist will be of Jewish descent. A short-lived firestorm erupted in the media over his remarks. Falwell said that he only meant that the Antichrist must be Jewish because Jesus was a Jew. </P> <P> I couldn't believe how badly Falwell had fumbled what should be an easy question to answer. The Antichrist will likely be Jewish because the Jews will not receive a Gentile as their promised Messiah. </P> <P> Jesus predicted that Israel will someday foolishly receive the Antichrist as their saviour. &quot;I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive&quot;(John 5:43). </P> <P> The Bible does hint that the Antichrist might have a Jewish background. In Dan 11:37 it says &quot;Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers.&quot; Although the verse could mean any deity, the wording strongly matches Jewish heritage of faith in God. </P> </span> <hr size="1" noshade="true"></hr> <address onclick="link()">Content Courtesy of <u class="link">RaptureReady.com</u></address></body> </html>
