The AntiChrist: Pathways To The Past

By Arthur W. Pink

Book Overview

History bears witness to diabolical, cruel, evil world leaders. History also testifies that these evil leaders at first appear to be loving and compassionate. Evil masquerades as something other than what it actually is by wearing deceptive disguises. Sometimes evil leaders wear the mask of savior. Disguised with the mask of goodness, they and their empty promises deceive many. Evil, masqueraded as goodness, has often been enthusiastically and blindly followed by the populace. Such was the case of the first of the four horsemen described in the book of Revelation. John, the last living apostle, heard the distant noise of thunder rumble as the first seal was opened. He then heard the sound of approaching hoof beats. John saw the rider of the first horse, the white horse. He had a bow in his hand -- a bow with no arrow - signifying false peace. He promised peace, global peace -- peace on earth and goodwill for men - but it was a false peace - and a false promise. He indeed was a War Man at the End of Time. An Image - A Symbol -- Who will understand? Six thrice, the Number, the Beast, a Man. was not simply one of a long litany of evil leaders to appear on the stage of human history. He was evil personified and bore the number of both man and a man, a specific man. This man, this evil one personified, he has been called by many names. The Lawless One. The Evil One. You know him as.....The Anti-Christ. Powerfully Written An Excellent, Exciting Exposition of the Word of God Pink explores and explains the intriguing biblical symbols and symbolism, allegories, similes, powerful metaphors and other literary devices that describe the Anti-Christ so as to increase the readers understanding of biblical truth.

A Great Study Tool

I first looked at A. W. Pink's "Gleanings in Genesis" which is more of a narrative than this book which I used as a study tool. There are numerous Scripture references and as I was reading through the book I looked up and marked comments in my Bible using this book as a guide. I learned on a new level that there are often dual applications to scripture, and according to Pink sometimes even tertiary application. For example a Scripture may have an application for the reader, an application for an event that has already occurred in the past, and an application for "the Day of the Lord" or the tribulation period which is yet future, although in my opinion closer than we think! While you may not agree with all of Pink's choices of Scripture that refers to the Antichrist I believe this book will inform you anyway. The Scripture says: 2 Corinthians 2:11 11 lest Satan should take advantage of us; for we are not ignorant of his devices. The New King James Version. Nashville : Thomas Nelson, 1982, S. This book will help you in this regard even though we are already spiritually aware of this fact. If you like studying your Bible and digging deep into it, this book will help. The Holy Spirit wouldn't have included these Scriptures unless He wanted us to be aware of them. 2 Timothy 2:15 15 Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. The New King James Version. Nashville : Thomas Nelson, 1982, S. If you want a good study tool, I highly recommend this book. For the purest, Pink refers to the KJV and I believe it is helpful to have this translation available to compare as the meaning is sometimes more significant in the KJV. Good Reading!

The Antichrist

I purchased this for my husband as a Christmas gift and it was received in perfect, new condition in plenty of time. I would order from this provider again.

Thorough outlook on modern life

Realistically, this book thoroughly delves into the "deeper things" concerning scripture. Let he who "has an ear to hear" understand, and the less intellectual stand aside.
