Bible Verse Links - A word of warning: The Bible Gateway - Gospelcom.net site gives the user access to some very helpful tools for Bible study. While the default version is the KJV, several modern versions of the Bible, including the NIV, NASB, NLT, among others, are also available. By having this link I am not promoting, nor do I condone, the use of these versions. In my humble opinion, you should use the KJV only

1 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 spirit of antichrist is already at work. As these Last Days approach, more and more, we are witnessing people abandon the bible in favor of the New Age Movement, witchcraft, and Unitarian beliefs.
What John 4:3 warns us about is that the spirit of antichrist is at work among every one who does not believe that Jesus is the Messiah and is come in the flesh.
Jesus is the ONLY Messiah...born of a virgin, God wrapped in human flesh. Those who deny Him are a part of the spirit of antichrist.
The Spirit of Antichrist includes:
The New Age Movement which denies Jesus is the ONLY way to Heaven
"We are our own gods..." philosophy
"There are many paths to God..."
Witchcraft
Unification of all religions
Rejection of the Bible as Truth
The "Da Vinci Code" fiction
Evolution theory promoted as "truth"
Aliens, female angels, worship of arch angels
Virgin Mary worship- which is forbidden in the bible
Materialism
Europe has, for many years now, been in the cutting room floor regarding religion-- especially Christianity. The "de-Christianization" of Europe is setting the stage for the antichrist to emerge on to the world scene. The New Roman Empire is an unholy Roman Empire. The Bible gives every indication that the future "prince," or antichrist will come from what we now know as Europe or the Revived Roman Empire. The Book of Daniel, chapter 11, says that the willful king (antichrist) will honor a "strange god" -- a god whom his fathers knew not....a "god of forces..."
As much of Europe rids itself of all traces of biblical Christianity, it has chosen to degrade Jesus to merely a man and mock the bible and in turn embrace a new vision for their future...a vision that will usher in the coming of the antichrist on the world stage.
Considering that according to the Bible, Europe will take center stage in the End Times, one should examine some of what Europe is doing at the present. Eventually most of the world will dance to the tune that the Europeans play and follow their lead in policy making.
The following is a recent article from World Net Daily:
Europeans lowercase 'Christ'
New grammar rule says word to be spelled with small 'c' in future

A new grammar rule devised in the Netherlands and Belgium stipulates the word "Christ" shall be spelled with a lowercase "c."
The rule was part of a Dutch orthography reform published in October, reported Canada Free Press.
The paper cites a German newssite, Kath.net, in reporting that the new guidelines also indicate the Dutch word for "Jews" (Joden) is to be spelled with a capital "J" when referring to nationality and with a lower-case "j" when referring to the religion.
The changes – made by the main linguistic authority for the Dutch language, Nederlandse Taalunie – become mandatory next August.
While the proper name of Jesus Christ – "Jezus Christus" in Dutch – will still be capitalized, other references to Christ, such as a statue of him, will be spelled with a lowercase "c," as will references to other figures who claim to be Christ.
Many Europeans have long discarded belief in God and in fact believe more deeply in ghosts than in a deity.
A new poll finds two-thirds of Britons said they believe in the existence of ghosts and spirits, but only 55 percent said they believe in the existence of God.
Meanwhile, 26 percent believe in UFOs, 19 percent in reincarnation and 4 percent in the Loch Ness Monster, Ananova reported.

_______________________End of Article_____________________The Europe of yesteryear that once upheld the Bible and Christian values has become the Europe of apostasy and blantant rebellion against God and the Bible. It is anti-Israel and many Europeans consider Israel the "greatest threat for world peace".
"In November 2003, the E.U. caused a storm with its poll, which came up with the finding that 59% of Europeans believe Israel is the greatest threat to world peace. The poll was actually conducted among 75,000 people from 15 countries, who had to select from fifteen countries, which one constituted the greatest threat to world peace. Israel came out above Iran, North Korea, Afghanistan, Iraq and the U.S.A."
Source Article: Europe"The European Parliament sits in Strasbourg, a city which symbolises the dream of Franco-German integration and was the heart of the Holy Roman Empire of Charlemagne. Its flag was inspired by the halo of twelve stars around pictures of the Madonna that appears prominently on Strasbourg Cathedral's Council of Europe stained-glass window, unveiled to the world on 11th December 1955 co-inciding with the Roman Catholic feast of the Immaculate Conception. Pope John Paul II dedicated the EU to the Virgin Mary. On the dome of the new £8-million Parliament Building in Strasbourg there is a colossal painting of the Woman riding the Beast. In the Parliamentary Offices building PE1 there is a huge painting of a practically naked Woman riding the Beast. Outside the new Council of Europe building there is a bronze statue of the Woman riding the Beast which is riding the waves. On the wall of the Diners' Club lounge in the EU's administrative capital Brussels is a picture of the Woman and the Beast together! This image has appeared on EU postage stamps, including the British one issued in 1984 to commemorate the second election to the European Parliament. It is the sign and symbol of Europe and points the way to what is planned." Source Article: Destroying our Protestant Heritage and enslaving us again to Rome
Consider for yourself what Europe is using to represent itself:
This statue is outside the EU office in Brussels-- a woman riding a beast
Second Election European Parliament postage stamp issued in 1984
European Poster promoting all the languages of Europe working on a modern Tower of Babel
European Currency: The Euro depicting a woman riding a beast
Compare the Parliament building in Strasbourg with the painting of the Tower of Babel?
Satellite photo from space. Notice the resemblance to a beast
The European Union’s flag consists of 12 stars, inspired by the halo of 12 stars that appear around the Madonna in Catholic pictures of her. A former secretary general of the Council of Europe, Leon Marchal, affirmed that the stars are those of “the woman of the Apocalypse.”
Notice again, the twelve stars
