And every spirit that confesses not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of the Holy Spirit: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof you have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world. 1Jn 4:3 Every person    ➛ is either saved or lost    ➛ is either a wheat or a tare    ➛ is either going to heaven or going to hell    ➛ is either a Child Of The Holy Spirit or a Child Of Satan What a person does with the Lord Jesus Christ makes all the difference.      It is interesting that John, being a Jew, was levying a charge against his people - that they as a group were under the control of the Spirit Of Anti Christ.      We sometimes too directly associate the Spirit Of Anti Christ with the Beast of Revelation.     Yes, the Beast will embody that spirit but he is not the originator of it.     The Jews were - they denied that Jesus is the Messiah, the Christ.     Even to the point of crucifying Him.      In Matt 23:38 we hear Christ cursing the house of Israel.     Why?     Because their rejection of Him was simultaneously an invitation for the Spirit Of Anti Christ to take over their society.      The Spirit Of Anti Christ is not easily overcome.     It is different than being ignorant of Jesus.     It is different than worshipping another god or following another religion.      To be Anti Christ is to have been informed of the Messiah, Jesus, yet knowingly and willfully rejecting Him as Creator, Mighty God, Saviour, Lord and King.

In Matt 23:13-* we hear Jesus cursing the Scribes Pharisees And Hypocrites at the end of His ministry.   

It is easy for us to make this a narrow curse involving a handful of people who lived at the time of Christ Jesus earthly ministry.   

But the truth is that the Scribes Pharisees And Hypocrites of Jesus day defined the public attitudes and set the public standards for all the people as they were their leaders.   

Because the Scribes Pharisees And Hypocrites passed down the Spirit Of Anti Christ to the younger leaders of Jewish society we find ourselves in the 21st century with the Spirit Of Anti Christ being just as strong, if not stronger, today as it was when Christ Jesus cursed that spirit and those under its domination.   

Lest you think I am anti-semitic I will point out that the Anti Christ Curse is upon the western nations who have denied Christ Jesus and opened their hearts atheism, multi-culturalism, Islam, Hinduism and various other false ideologies and religions.   

The only cure for the Anti Christ Curse is to repent and receive Jesus Christ as Mighty God, Creator, Saviour, Lord and King.   

I tell you, No: but, except you repent, you shall all likewise perish. Luk 13:3 Though it is not the Lord`s will that any perish, it is up to each individual to determine their fate.      The fate of a society or nation is determined by its trajectory which is defined by the summation of the trajectories of its people.      All nations that forget God will be cast into hell Psm 9:17.
