Tonight’s Call – MORE PROPHETIC/PROP 3 UPDATES/PRAYER!

WHO IS THE aNTI-cHRIST – DEAN BRIGGS

Is the Antichrist a dark, future figure of total reprobation and rebellion to God? Yes. But don’t be fooled into thinking the antichrist spirit is not at work right now. Very simply, to be anti-christ is to oppose Christ. Our own lives can exhibit this tendency in countless small acts of resistance to the Lordship of Jesus. Similarly, churches that resist the Holy Spirit are in danger of being anti-Christ. Can you imagine an anti-Christ church? Oh, the tragedy! But it’s real.

If that sounds scary, it should . . . because it is. Psalm 2 shows us that God will not tolerate humanity’s rebellion forever. So, I want us to have a sense of holy fear, but I also want you to breathe deep. A true disciple is neither openly opposed, nor deeply hostile, to the will of God. We are works in progress, and the Father delights in us as sons and daughters even in our immaturity. When we disobey His Word, the Holy Spirit uses those moments to graciously reveal the very parts of our life that are — yes, anti-Christ — but more accurately, not whole. We have these broken places within. God lovingly corrects and sets our broken bones for the purpose of transformation, not condemnation. He highlights where we are unconfirmed, un-submitted, and un-sanctified, precisely so that we can be fully conformed, fully submitted, and fully sanctified. We are all works in progress, yet even in our immaturity, the Father delights in us. So the Holy Spirit is committed fully conforming, submitting, and sanctifying us in Christ.

Nevertheless, there are many expressions of anti-christ at work in the world that are truly hostile to God with deep-seated and unrepentant malevolence. These anti-christ systems are the result of coordinated efforts among men or angels over decades and even centuries that have altered the thought patterns and values of people groups and society itself, calcifying into profoundly intractable layers of resistance to the rule of Christ. These systems, along with the principalities and powers behind them, are incorrigible in the ultimate sense of the word — corroded iron, rusted shut, filled with hatred for God.

The man, Antichrist, will be the ultimate embodiment of this hatred for God. He has been echoed in the past, but his final form will exceed them all — worse than Nimrod, Antiochus Epiphanes, Hitler, etc. That means a terrible clash of empires will (and is) escalating as we approach the end of age. Why do you think the whole earth is shaking?

If you can glimpse what is coming, you will see why the disciplines of the Lord are so needed, and why He is faithful and gracious in the extreme to give them. Beloved, cooperate with the Holy Spirit and surrender quickly to His Word! It is a form of mercy coming to you from a future filled with shaking. Since God is committed to breaking the power of the antichrist conspiracy, He will shake all that can be shaken. His redemption draws nigh, not only to save, but to deliver and restore. He will not only overthrow the open rebellion but will fully eradicate every strain of venom, dethrone every vain imagination, and cut off every insidious tentacle wrapped around the architecture of society. He will purge the present influence of antichrist ideologies from media, religion, government, arts and entertainment, commerce, family, and education.

But don’t kid yourself: the great and final emancipation of the planet will not come without massive resistance from every one of those structures and their spiritual support systems. That’s why things are shaking and will shake more in the days to come. God promises to shake the temporal and corrupt so that only the eternal and perfect remains, i.e. “…the removal and final transformation of all those things which can be shaken—that is, of that which has been created—so that those things which cannot be shaken may remain” (Heb. 12:27, AMP)

So, Then Who is the Christ? As I’ve previously mentioned, the word Messiah comes from transliterating the Hebrew word for “Anointed,” and the word Christ comes from translating “Anointed” into Greek. Messiah is the central figure in all human history, the eschatological Lord of history itself. He is the Son of God, so the Father did not leave the revelation of His Son to chance. Dozens of prophecies foretold His coming, with different oracles focusing on the various facets of His work, whether it be His character, humanity, divinity, redemption, or His royalty† and rulership. Even the timing of His arrival was prophesied. So for thousands of years, Israel longed for her Messiah, and the people groaned and prayed for their deliverer. As the nation’s leader studied the words of the prophets, they codified their expectations.

In chapter three of his book, Paul: In Fresh Perspective, N.T. Wright summarizes six fundamentally Jewish assumptions regarding their Messiah: “First, we are talking about a royal Messiahship. The Messiah is Israel’s true king; hence also, since Israel is the people of the one creator God, he is the world’s true Lord . . . Second, the Messiah will successfully fight Israel’s great and ultimate battle against the forces of evil and paganism. Third, the Messiah will build the Temple, the house to which Israel’s God will at last return and live. Fourth, the Messiah will thus bring Israel’s history to its climax, fulfilling the biblical texts . . . and usher in the new world of which prophets and others had spoken. Fifth, the Messiah will act in all this as Israel’s representative, like David fighting Goliath on Israel’s behalf. Sixth, in another sense the Messiah will act as God’s representative or agent to Israel and hence to the world.

The Praying Messiah

Notably absent in this list of expectations is the mechanism by which Psalm 2 declares the Messiah will inherit the nations.

“Thou art My Son, Today I have begotten Thee. Ask of Me, and I will surely give the nations as Thine inheritance, and the very ends of the earth as Thy possession.”

The Christ will ask the Father, and in the asking, He shall receive nations. It is important to catch this: Jesus demonstrates His Lordship, Kingship, Redemption, Shepherding and Salvation not primarily in the activity of those titles, but as an INTERCESSOR. In the Trinitarian conversation, the Son petitions His Father with perfect agreement of His will and in full submission to it. In response, the Father promises to release His Son’s full inheritance and rulership over the nations. Again, how? Through intercession. By this we realize that the Messiah is not primarily a King who prays, but a Priest who RULES. The Messiah is not primarily a King who prays, but a Priest who RULES.

In Psalm 2, the Father laughs at the conspirators and their conspiracy. He announces that His Son is Heaven’s answer to the rebellion of kings. Now, if the Father and the Son are in this dialogue together, and if we have been baptized into the Body of Christ, and if the Spirit has taken residence within the Body so that we are anointed with the same anointed that rested upon Christ — remember, He is not only the Anointed One but also the Anointer — then what do you think the Holy Spirit is seeking to produce within us?

“Little children, it is the last hour; and as you have heard that the Antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come, by which we know that it is the last hour. They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us; but they went out that they might be made manifest, that none of them were of us.” (1 John 2: 18-19)
