Scripture does not leave us in the dark about the end of history. From Paul’s thundering defense of the resurrection to Daniel’s vision of the desolating abomination, from the Man of Lawlessness enthroned in God’s temple to the Destroyer unleashed from the abyss — the Bible paints a coherent, sobering, and ultimately triumphant picture of the final things. A Catholic Scripture study on what the Church has always taught about the Antichrist, the resurrection of the dead, and Christ’s certain victory.
The word “antichrist” appears only four times in Scripture — all in the letters of St. John — and it is used in the plural. The Catholic Church distinguishes between the many antichrists active throughout history and the singular eschatological figure of the Antichrist, while making a critical distinction most people miss: the Antichrist and Satan are not the same being. A scripturally grounded Catholic examination of what the Church actually teaches — without the sensationalism.
