Christianity

Christ also known as Jesus  is the central figure of Christianity  and so the followers of Christ are called Christians . Christians are the people who have their beliefs and faith in Jesus and they worship him .

Name Jesus originates from a Latin form of Greek name  Ἰησοῦς (Iēsous)  an interpretation of the Hebrew Yeshua  (ישוע) .
where as Christ comes from Ancient Greek Χριστός,  Christós   meaning anointed is a translation of Hebrew word מָשִׁיחַ (Māšîaḥand the Syriacܡܫܝܚܐ (M'shiha), the Messiahand is used as a title for Jesus in the New Testament.

Jesus (7–2 BC to 30–33 AD) is regarded as the awaited "messiah" . A messiah you will come and save us all .But save us from what?  Why Do WE Require A Messiah?He was the son of God ,but why did God send his only son for us?  There are a lot of questions that rise up in our hearts and minds . Why did a sinless man die for us? 
When God created the Earth and all the living beings , 
God also created Adam and Eve(Genesis 1-27) in his own likeness. And He said it was good, because it was good. Everything was perfect and good .
 But since when Adam and eve disobeyed God ,Cane killed Able - God has seen a lot of hatred in human heart.
He has seen a lot of sin around , a lot of Killing,stealing ,  lust,covert,anger and it was too much for him to take it and so God destroyed the  Earth saving each pair of animals and birds and every other living creature and it was done by the man named Noah . A new beginning for Noah descendants came into existence a chance to restore relationship between God and Man .And then was born a man who would listen to God's words and follow him and have faith in him it was Abraham . Abraham was asked  to leave his land and go to the promise land , God promised him that he will be father of many nations and He  will give him descendants as numerous as the stars all people will be blessed though him. And so he did and he had to prove his Faith again and again.

Moses
Nearly 400 years after Abraham  famine forced the Israelites to go from promise land to Egypt and there they were enslaved by Pharaoh. And God  choose Moses , for He would set his people free.

God sent Ten plagues to change Pharaoh minds but he denied every time. God will keep on doing it until Pharaoh breaks and by the final plague in which every first born son will die but Israelites were spared.
And Moses freed them from the Pharaoh by parting the waters  .Moses leads the Israelites to mount Sinai where god first spoke to him. And God gives laws to Moses written in stone - THE TEN COMMANDMENTS.


Joshua


Joshua witnessed to the covenant and now He leads the people to inherit the Land. God made Moses to parts water but Joshua parted land.
March around the city once a day with all the armed men do this for  six days carry Gods Commandments. on seventh day march around the city for seven times and priests should make a loud sound with the trumpet and all people should make a large sound and glory will come. And the Jericho was undertaken by Joshua.
Hundred years after Joshua came Samson , Samuel(prophet) and many more to get rid of Palestinian but still it was not enough.

Then came in a new Era of KINGS , A King selected by God . And the first king of Israel was Saul. He was anointed by Prophet Samuel . But no man is good enough to rule god's kingdom. And so he to disobeyed the lord and his kingdom torn apart and then came in David the next King of Israel he was too anointed by Samuel. David battles with Palestinian for decade , He becomes a warrior and a leader and the next King. But for him also it was difficult to follow Gods commandments.
After him many kings and prophets came one of them was Daniel who after decades in exile took people back to their home .
Now Romans undertake Israel , and Israel suffers like never before.  

And then comes Jesus who is the king .
He is the son of God.
God's message to us through His Only begotten Son John 3:16-17: “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. “For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.”.

This was a little bit about Christianity - about Jesus Christ The son Of God Our Saviour


Who is an Antichrist?


He is the enemy of Christ , and it is believed that He will reign dreadfully before the  Last Judgement.

He will appear to deceive humanity before the second coming of Jesus .
In John it is mentioned 5 times about the Antichrist.
Bible doesn't tell us who is the Antichrist , But speaks to us about the traits He will possess.

Revelation 13:1-10

The Beast out of the Sea
13 The dragon stood on the shore of the sea. And I saw a beast coming out of the sea. It had ten horns and seven heads, with ten crowns on its horns, and on each head a blasphemous name. The beast I saw resembled a leopard, but had feet like those of a bear and a mouth like that of a lion. The dragon gave the beast his power and his throne and great authority. One of the heads of the beast seemed to have had a fatal wound, but the fatal wound had been healed. The whole world was filled with wonder and followed the beast. People worshipped the dragon because he had given authority to the beast, and they also worshipped the beast and asked, “Who is like the beast? Who can wage war against it?”
The beast was given a mouth to utter proud words and blasphemies and to exercise its authority for forty-two months. It opened its mouth to blaspheme God, and to slander his name and his dwelling place and those who live in heaven. It was given power to wage war against God’s holy people and to conquer them. And it was given authority over every tribe, people, language and nation. All inhabitants of the earth will worship the beast—all whose names have not been written in the Lamb’s book of life, the Lamb who was slain from the creation of the world.[b]
Whoever has ears, let them hear.
"If anyone is to go into captive, into captive they will go. if anyone is to be killed with the sword with the sword they will be killed."

This calls for patient endurance and faithfulness on the part of God’s people.

Daniel 9:24-27


24 “Seventy ‘sevens’[a] are decreed for your people and your holy city to finish[b]transgression, to put an end to sin, to atone for wickedness, to bring in everlasting righteousness, to seal up vision and prophecy and to anoint the Most Holy Place.[c]
25 “Know and understand this: From the time the word goes out to restore and rebuild Jerusalem until the Anointed One,[d] the ruler, comes, there will be seven ‘sevens,’ and sixty-two ‘sevens.’ It will be rebuilt with streets and a trench, but in times of trouble. 26 After the sixty-two ‘sevens,’ the Anointed One will be put to death and will have nothing.[e] The people of the ruler who will come will destroy the city and the sanctuary. The end will come like a flood:War will continue until the end, and desolations have been decreed. 27 He will confirm a covenant with many for one ‘seven.’[f] In the middle of the ‘seven’[g]he will put an end to sacrifice and offering. And at the temple[h] he will set up an abomination that causes desolation, until the end that is decreed is poured out on him.[i][j]

2 Thessalonians 2:1-12

Concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered to him, we ask you, brothers and sisters, not to become easily unsettled or alarmed by the teaching allegedly from us—whether by a prophecy or by word of mouth or by letter—asserting that the day of the Lord has already come.Don’t let anyone deceive you in any way, for that day will not come until the rebellion occurs and the man of lawlessness[a] is revealed, the man doomed to destruction. He will oppose and will exalt himself over everything that is called God or is worshiped, so that he sets himself up in God’s temple, proclaiming himself to be God.

Don’t you remember that when I was with you I used to tell you these things?And now you know what is holding him back, so that he may be revealed at the proper time. For the secret power of lawlessness is already at work; but the one who now holds it back will continue to do so till he is taken out of the way. And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will overthrow with the breath of his mouth and destroy by the splendor of his coming. The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with how Satanworks. He will use all sorts of displays of power through signs and wonders that serve the lie, 10 and all the ways that wickedness deceives those who are perishing. They perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved.11 For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie 12 and so that all will be condemned who have not believed the truth but have delighted in wickedness
