Are false christian's the devils children? - The Coming False Christ and His Followers Revealed.

4 “Tell us, when will these things be? And what will be the sign when all these things will be fulfilled?”
5 And Jesus, answering them, began to say: “Take heed that no one deceives you.
6 “For many will come in My name, saying, `I am He,’ and will deceive many. (Mk. 13:4-6 NKJ).

Few Commentators realize John’s description of the Antichrist[1] and his followers (1 Jn. 2:18-23; 4:1-6; 2 Jn. 1:7-11) is how they will appear “in the last hour”, and not what they were at the beginning of the End Time Week revealed in the book of Revelation that is seven years long. At first the Antichrist will claim to be Jesus Christ saying, “I am He.”

And I looked, and behold, a white horse. He who sat on it had a bow; and a crown was given to him, and he went out conquering and to conquer. (Rev. 6:2 NKJ).

When Antichrist rises he speaks like the lion of the tribe of Judah. After 42 months the lion’s mouth is replaced by one speaking “great things and blasphemies”:

1 Then I stood on the sand of the sea. And I saw a beast rising up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and on his horns ten crowns, and on his heads a blasphemous name.

2 Now the beast which I saw was like a leopard, his feet were like the feet of a bear, and his mouth like the mouth of a lion. The dragon gave him his power, his throne, and great authority…
5 And he was given a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies, and he was given authority to continue for forty-two months.

6 Then he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme His name, His tabernacle, and those who dwell in heaven.

7 It was granted to him to make war with the saints and to overcome them. And authority was given him over every tribe, tongue, and nation. (Rev. 13:1-2, 5-7 NKJ).

This is confirmed by the prophet Daniel when he reveals the Desolator (Antichrist) is friendly to religion only the first half of the week:

And he shall make a strong covenant with many for one week; and for half of the week he shall cause sacrifice and offering to cease; and upon the wing of abominations shall come one who makes desolate, until the decreed end is poured out on the desolator.” (Dan. 9:27 RSV).

By giving the Antichrist two different titles Paul implies there are two phases of Antichrist, first as the “man of sin” and then he morphs into the “son of destruction” seed of Satan (Gen. 3:15).

Give no belief to false words: because there will first be a falling away from the faith, and the revelation of the man of sin, the son of destruction, (2 Thess. 2:3 BBE).

We can deduce the miracle working False Christ will be a “man who condones sin”, whose signs and wonders teach lies against the truth of the Bible:

9 The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders,

10 and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved.

11 And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie,

12 that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness. (2 Thess. 2:9-12 NKJ).

Christians present a stark contrast to those Antichrists and that reveals what John meant when he said “they went out from us but were not of us” (1 John 2:19).

13 But we are bound to give thanks to God always for you, brethren beloved by the Lord, because God from the beginning chose you for salvation through sanctification by the Spirit and belief in the truth,

14 to which He called you by our gospel, for the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

15 Therefore, brethren, stand fast and hold the traditions which you were taught, whether by word or our epistle. (2 Thess. 2:13-15 NKJ).

Unlike Christians “sanctified by the Spirit and belief in the truth the Bible”, Antichrist’s are filled with the “mystery of lawlessness” and do not love the truth of the Bible. They are false prophets, their signs and wonders resemble what Christians do:

15 “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves.

16 “You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles?

17 “Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit.

18 “A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit.

19 “Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.

20 “Therefore by their fruits you will know them.

21 “Not everyone who says to Me, `Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven.

22 “Many will say to Me in that day, `Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’

23 “And then I will declare to them, `I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’ (Matt. 7:15-23 NKJ) .
