congratulations your gift of a new day is here ready to live it big you're listening to the big life

devotional podcast now here's pamela to get you fired up for all god has available for you today

well good morning beautiful welcome to a brand new day of life. Happy Thursday, my friends. I am so

grateful that you're listening today. I would love to say that I'm super excited to share today's

episode with you, but, ouch. All right, let's dive in. The title of today's episode of the Big Life Diversional podcast is,

that's a fake.

Today, we bite the bullet and we talk about the really, really, really uncomfortable stuff.

The stuff that just makes my skin itch and my eyes twitch, the stuff you've

likely never heard me talk about before because even while we studied the book of Revelation,

I really like to find the hope and the highlights. Today we talk about the Antichrist. What it is and what it isn't. Is this a threat to us or are we promised to be in the clear?

So first, let's understand what the word Antichrist means. In English, the prefix anti means against. However, this word was originally

spoken in Greek, and in Greek, the prefix anti, has additional meanings. It can mean against, but it also means instead of. So antichrist, yes, against Christ,

but also instead of Christ. So now understand when John writes in 1 John chapter 2 verse 18, dear children,

the last hour is here. You have heard that the Antichrist, that's a capital A, is coming.

And already many such Antichrist, that's with a little A, have appeared.

From this, we know that the last hour has come.

Okay, so this antichrist to come, capital A, is the one people will choose instead of Christ.

Already there are many antichrist, little A, who choose and promote something instead of Christ.

And with this, we must be so careful. Anything we choose instead of Christ is extremely dangerous. Now it's easy to dismiss ourselves

believing we know better and we would never choose anyone but Jesus. But really examine yourselves.

Is there anyone or anything you turn to for guidance instead of Jesus first?

Hello, the Google and the chat GPT. Has that become your go-to?
