The Contrasts between Christ and the Antichrist!
Any housewife knows that the best way to remember the things she meant to do and forgot is to start praying. They will come to her mind to divert her from prayer. The devil will let a preacher prepare a sermon if it will keep him from preparing himself. In these last days the devil will manifest himself as an imitation of the Lord. The Bible calls him the antichrist. He will deceive the nations. The Bibles states (Mat 24:22 KJV) And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.
Many ask the question, how can we recognize him when he comes on the scene? In this outline we list the contrast between him and our Lord Jesus Christ.
