None of us wants to be labeled by Father Yahuwah as anti-Christ. However, according to Scripture, most Christians today fit this category—by the biblical definition. This is a serious matter, because all who are anti-Christ will be denied entry into Yahuwah’s eternal kingdom.
Understanding the Biblical Meaning of “Anti-Christ”
To understand the meaning of anti-Christ, we must go back to the writings of Apostle John, the only biblical author who used this term.
1 John 4:3 — “And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of Yahuwah: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.”
Many assume this verse means that one must acknowledge Christ’s humanity to avoid being labeled an anti-Christ. Trinitarians often use it to support belief in the “incarnation.” However, this interpretation is mistaken.
Demons, for example, also recognized Yahushua as the Son of Yahuwah:
- Luke 4:41 — “Thou art Christ the Son of Yahuwah.”
- Mark 1:24, Matthew 8:29 — similar acknowledgments.
But clearly, this confession did not make them pro-Christ. Therefore, “is come in the flesh” must mean something more than acknowledging Christ’s physical existence.
What Does “Come in the Flesh” Really Mean?
Turning again to John’s writings brings clarity.
2 John 7 (ASV) — “For many deceivers are gone forth into the world, even they that confess not that Yahushua Christ cometh in the flesh. This is the deceiver and the antichrist.”
Notice John’s use of the present tense — “cometh in the flesh.” He is speaking not of Christ’s past birth, but of His ongoing coming into the flesh of believers through the Spirit.
The Promise of Christ’s Return Through the Spirit
Before His ascension, Christ promised His disciples that He would come again—not merely in glory at the end of the age, but also spiritually to dwell within them.
John 14:15–18 —
“If you love me, you will keep my commandments. And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Helper, to be with you forever... You know him, for he dwells with you and will be in you. I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you.”
The Greek word for Helper is Parakletos, referring to the Holy Spirit. Here, Yahushua assures His followers that though He will depart physically, He will return spiritually—as the Helper/Holy Spirit—to dwell within them.
The Spirit of Christ Dwelling in Believers
As Unitarian Monotheist, we believe in one-nature—the fully human Messiah. Could this same human Christ be the Holy Spirit (the Parakletos) promised to dwell within His followers?
John’s writings confirm that believers must accept this truth: Christ comes again to live within us through His Spirit. To deny this is, by John’s definition, to be anti-Christ.
Revelation’s Testimony: Christ as the Sevenfold Spirit
John’s vision in Revelation 4 and 5 provides the final piece of this mystery. After Christ’s ascension and glorification, John witnesses a heavenly coronation scene:
Revelation 4:5 — “Before the throne were burning seven torches of fire, which are the seven spirits of Yahuwah.”
Revelation 5:6 — “And I saw a Lamb standing, as though it had been slain... with seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of Yahuwah sent out into all the earth.”
The “seven spirits” symbolize Yahuwah’s omnipresent power—His ability to dwell within His people. Christ, now glorified, is empowered with these seven spirits to fulfill His promise: “I will come to you.”
Thus, Christ Himself—through his Holy Spirit, obtained from the Father in his coronation ceremony—dwells in the flesh of every true believer.
The False Teaching of the Trinity
The Trinitarian doctrine denies this truth by separating the Holy Spirit from Christ, claiming it is a distinct third person of the Godhead. In doing so, they reject the very essence of Christ’s promised return to dwell inside every believer through His Spirit.
According to John, such denial—refusing to recognize the Spirit as Christ’s own presence—is the mark of the anti-Christ.
The True Indwelling of Christ’s Spirit
When we accept that the Holy Spirit is Christ’s own Spirit, His presence transforms us from within. Through this indwelling, He shapes us into His image and clothes us in His righteousness—the only qualification for eternal life.
“Christ in you, the hope of glory.” — Colossians 1:27
A Call to Repentance and Renewal
If you are still part of a church or denomination that upholds the Trinitarian doctrine, flee from it. Repent of this deception and invite Christ’s Spirit—the true Holy Spirit—to dwell within you.
There is no truth more precious than this: Christ lives in His people today, through His own Spirit.
Accept Him, and let His life fill your flesh.
Amen.
