In 1982, I was reading in 2 Thessalonians 2, and God began teaching me about antichrist and the end time apostasy in the churches.
For several years after that, from time to time, God would teach me additional things about antichrist.
💥 2 Thessalonians 2
3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.
As I read this, God said to me: "The falling away are not people leaving the churches. The falling away are the churches leaving the scriptures."

The churches I had been attending at that time were teaching that antichrist was one man and he was a man in the governments of men of this world.
A small group of woman were speaking about antichrist and one woman said she thought antichrist was Henry Kissinger.
I had been reading Leo Tolstoy's book, "War and Peace," and Tolstoy said the Russian people thought antichrist was Napoleon.
During WWII, some church people thought Adolph Hitler was the antichrist.
My aunt thought the Catholic church and the pope were antichrist. (By what God showed me, this is more nearly correct, but you have to include protestant churches also in the apostasy of the end times.)
Here is what God showed me:
I John 2:18 (John said:) Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.
Antichrist was not one man but was a "spirit" operating though many men in the church groups.
I John 4:3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.
The apostle Paul was speaking to the elders of the church at Ephesus and he said:
Acts 20
28 Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which HE hath purchased with HIS own blood.
29 For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock.
30 Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them.
8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of HIS mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of HIS coming:
9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
