The Anti christ: A Man whose right eye is blind. And for the believers, between his eyes [i.e on his forehead] will be written disbeliever. Only the believers will see it. Those who wont believe in Him, He [the antichrist] will take their food away, and what not. The food of the believers on that Day will be the remembrance of God.

Why must we think in a way that the devil is greater than God himself? God has no equal, we trust God, have hope and faith in God. We should not fear the devil or the antichrist, THE SLIGHTEST
im a 15 year old convert to Orthodoxy, and I really struggle with the fear of the antichrist and the end times. what if i'm tortured and persecuted and killed because I don't accept antichrist? or worse, what if I succumb to the pressure and actually end up worshipping antichrist? please keep me in your prayers, as I'm greatly struggling with this.
Don’t worry yourself, the end times probably won’t come for a while. Christians have believed the end nigh for 2000 years and have been wrong for just as long.
In the 21st century its the liberal society that brings antichrist whereas Russia and china do not tolerate cults so much. Jesus came to teach us to not take everything literally on surface level like an autist. Communist states are now more conservative and friendly toward traditional religious values vs capitalist ones.
To be more accurate. It's trotskyist interpretation and expression of Marxism that fits this description the most. Trotsky is the one who wants to push ideals on the world "permanent revolution" and is the one who wants to be admired. We see statues of marx and lenin and Stalin not because they wanted to be admired like that but because people wanted to admire them.
@@christochristovlebg4382Agreed, be not deceived. So you do know who's giving this Catechism? Do you know him well enough to establish his interpretation as truth?
Can I ask something? How would this person oppose God if he was created by God? If God gave us the ability to do this, then doesn't it mean this is still God's work? Unless he directly oppose God, saying explicitly this is not God's work, Christians can simply attribute all this to God without ever crediting this person unless he specifically say this is not God's work. Then the antichrist would still be plain to see. It's not good to accuse people who wants to do good work.
The answer to your question can be found in the fact that God have His creation free will. Like a human father would do for his son, He sets rules, boundaries per se, and adhering to or disobeying said rules has its consequences. All the evil that has ever been perpetuated on Earth is not the result of God’s direct hand, but the collective rebellion of mankind against God’s boundaries for His creation. Why doesn’t God just come down and force all evil to stop? Because he would mean taking back his gift of free will to mankind, something His holiness would never do. As is stated in 1 Thessalonians 4 and in Revelation 13, we have our signs to watch out for when the Antichrist arrives on Earth, and how he will bring tribulation. Then, as it is written, his work will be proven temporary and undone by the second coming of Jesus Christ.
@@konnorrockkonnoisseur4970 I am not talking about evil, I am talking about good. And what the purpose of existence to be. If good and evil doesn't matter, then what is the purpose of free will if we aren't even meant to choose?
Things can appear to be "good" but they are not Holy. Think social justice warriors who truly want everyone to be equal, accepted and cared for by society. They are doing "good" but in reality, their movement is toxic and will not have Holy results.
@@nothde9865 Good and evil does matter but God has to be a part of their definitions. Good is what is holy and related to God and for the sake of being closer to God, evil is opposition to God. And I believe you have to be able to interpret using those definitions. Is food good or evil? Food is from our Lord for us and we are allowed to eat all thing it is inherently good. However there are fasting times during the year so it isnt always good to eat everything, we have have clear boundries there. It would be good to give food to the needy but it would be evil to suggest food to the one who clearly shouldnt eat and is capable of fasting/denial of this perticular food. We are still to do good deeds and abstain from evil deeds. As was in paradise, there was a choice to be made - to be with God and not eat of the tree or to be against and away from God and eat of the tree. The purpose of existence is theosis, aka getting closer to God. Free will is there because our Creator made us this way and only this way can we show true love and not be like droids who unwillingly choose all the good things in every perfect form of them, then we are forced and dont make a choice to love. All people are to strive to be better so there is a process of deification, getting closer to God, becoming better. And of course the virtues and adherence to the rules and church life are all meaningless if there isnt One to tell you they are good, this is why Jesus Christ IS the reason of living, He IS the One to imitate/follow/listen to and by extension all of the hierarchs who follow Him and are ordained to be our helpers and leaders(the angels are friends also :D). And also: ''How would this person oppose God if he was created by God?'' He will be tempted like Christ to either be given the world and bow down to the devil FOR it or not to do it. He will choose to bow down and so the devil will be his god. So he will willingly choose against Christ for the sake of the devils false paradise and delusion of good and evil. It isnt Gods work to have His creation be ruined by His people but to let people be tried and tested the fire they unleashed on themselves for the sake of salvation and God is more than willing to help. But if man chooses not to be helped, not to ask then God will not go against His creature's free will(which he gave it), otherwise it would be a contradiction for Him. God bless you friend!
KARL.MARX fits such a description and which philosopher said God is dead? Am now alone holding the line; all others have given up Almighty God for comfort, health, security and safety. There literally is no true Christ like followers left on earth; just fakes.

Many Holy Fathers say that those who believe in God only with their intellect, will be deceived by the Anti (Instead of) Christ. While those who know Him and believe in Him with their hearts shall recognize the antichrist and reject him.
Hold up who is telling you this! This isn't God's word. Isaiah 9:6 NIV For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. The man in this picture actually exists. And you have no idea. He won't be like anybody describes. The big mistake people miss us that they don't see the lamb that was slain from beginning of time. And why beginning cause Jesus didn't die in beginning or did He. Abel. He raised up sheep
2:45 it was the israeli deity of Yehva that committed the mass muder of infants in Egypt. Show people the actual words of the scripture instead of deceiving them with the blasphemous idea that DIVINITY IS BAD!!!
Wow we are so unequivocally exponentially fucked aren't we? Like either we are fucked her or we are fucked when we die. There is no happy ending for any of us is there.
The hopelessness can be overwhelming. I’ve felt it too, friend. Then I began to understand who God is and WHY He sent Jesus to us. In Christ, there is no true death. Heaven is not a place of death, but of the eternal life Jesus promised. However much time we have on this Earth, we have a chance to show others what we understand about God, so that the Kingdom may not be forgotten. Then, we get to see our Lord and be with him for eternity. In the end, God wins, and therefore we win. I hope this bring some comfort 🙏🏻
