Notes From Off Center: Brief Meditation on the Antichrist

ReligionProf · 2 years ago

Thanks for your reflection on idolatry - one of the biggest temptations facing Christianity today!

Let's also not forget that, if one is thinking about the 'antichrist' as referring to the Beast in Revelation, then the clues within the book point firmly to Nero Caesar - both the number 666 and the number of emperors in chapter 17. This ties in with your warning about misuse of Scripture - it is the failure to take it seriously in its historical context that is often the first step towards an idolatrous "bibliolatry".

Well put. This states, far more strongly than I've heard before, the case that much of American 'Evangelical' Christianity, or at least American Christian Fundamentalism, has been hijacked by something other than the Gospel.

Be Well,
Bob Griffin
