Drawing from the four instances of the term in the New Testament—primarily in the letters of John—the message emphasizes that Antichrists are not future global tyrants but false teachers who deny the incarnation of Christ, specifically the doctrine that Jesus is both fully divine and fully human from the moment of His birth.
