Dear Fred

Do you think the anti-christ is alive now and do you think we are in the "latter days"?

Fred's Response

More than eighty years ago prophetic preachers were naming such individuals as Mussolini and others whose name they could equate with the 666. Others were confidently reporting that the anti-Christ would be the Pope. I have no knowledge of anyone in a position to fulfill the prophecies of peace among nations, specifically Israel for 3 1/2 years before breaking the agreement. I think the spirit of anti-Christ is certainly present. For centuries there have been those, particularly in cults, who believed in the "time and place" returns of Christ. It is hard not to believe in the imminent return according to prophetic scripture, but our concern should be in being prepared when it happens so that we will be in the rapture and escape the tribulation. We know this age will end; Christ will return and it is nearer today than it was yesterday.
