I am convinced the New World Order is the antichrist system of command and control being set up to lead people away from the Kingdom of God. The term “antichrist” originates in the Bible, specifically in the books of 1 and 2 John, where it is used to describe those who deny Jesus Christ.

Every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God; this is the spirit of the antichrist, which you heard was coming and now is in the world already. – 1 John 4:3

In later Christian tradition, particularly in the Book of Revelation, the term “antichrist” evolved to describe a single figure or system that would emerge at the end of time to deceive humanity and wage war against God’s people. However, you will not find the term antichrist anywhere in Revelation, and John does not refer to the antichrist in 1st or 2nd John as an individual.

For many deceivers have gone out into the world, those who do not acknowledge Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh. This is the deceiver and the antichrist. – 2 John 1:7

John is warning about a specific kind of deception: denying the incarnation of Jesus Christ. In the early church, this was a major issue—some false teachers (like the Docetists who were influenced by Gnostic dualism) claimed Jesus only appeared to be human but wasn’t truly flesh and blood. Docetism was strongly condemned by early church leaders like Ignatius of Antioch, who emphasized the reality of Christ’s incarnation, suffering, and resurrection. It was officially rejected at the Council of Nicaea (325 AD) and is considered heretical by virtually all branches of Christianity.

Some refer to the antichrist system as the spirit of Babylon that is going to be throughout the world – a great deception. The masses will believe whatever they are told by the gatekeepers. Not only will they believe what they’re told, but they will be sympathizers of what they are told. They will defend it. They will love the Beast and worship the Beast, meaning they will love their new system of government. They will love what is proposed to them. They will love their rescue… and they will love their rescuers.

This counterfeit antichrist system is designed to replace God’s authority with its own, to offer a false sense of security and prosperity, and to demand loyalty and worship that rightfully belong to God alone.

The prophet Daniel described this New World Order this way.

…and behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth: it devoured and brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with the feet of it: and it was diverse from all the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns. I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things. – Daniel 7:7-8

The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be diverse from all kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces. And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings. And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time. – Daniel 7:23-25

There is much to unpack in those verses filled with symbols and language unfamiliar to modern man. But, it is a message sent to us from God and is imperative to understand as best we can.  It requires a knowledge of history and a bit of individual research to begin to understand the meaning.

This imagery from Daniel is repeated in the book of Revelation and many have interpreted the beast as the embodiment of the antichrist spirit in its final form.

And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy. And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority. And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast. And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him? And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months. And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven. And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations. And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. If any man have an ear, let him hear. He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints. – Revelation 13:1-10

And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live. And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed. And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six. – Revelation 13:11-18

And that’s the end game: to worship this counterfeit beast kingdom and to submit to its authority.

A Wake-Up Call for Today’s Believers

In a world flooded with influencers, spiritual gurus, and feel-good philosophies, one truth remains: not every message wrapped in love and light is rooted in Christ.

Today’s antichrist system deception doesn’t always wear a devil’s mask. It often comes dressed in compassion, tolerance, and “higher consciousness.” It whispers:

• “Jesus was just a great teacher.”
• “Sin is a social construct.”
• “All paths lead to God.”
• “Truth is whatever feels right to you.”

But Scripture doesn’t bend to culture. It stands eternal.

• Modern Docetism is alive and well—denying the full humanity and divinity of Jesus, reducing Him to metaphor, myth, or moral mascot.
• Digital prophets preach self over surrender, vibes over virtue, and affirmation over repentance.
• New age blends of Christianity dilute the gospel into a spiritual smoothie—sweet, but powerless.

The Antichrist Spirit Isn’t Coming. It’s Already Here.

• It’s in the pulpits that avoid the cross.
• It’s in the algorithms that reward compromise.
• It’s in the hearts that crave comfort more than conviction.

What Can You Do?

• Test every spirit (1 John 4:1). If it denies Christ’s incarnation, resurrection, or lordship—it’s not from God.
• Stay rooted in the Word. Don’t outsource your theology to trending reels or charismatic personalities.
• Speak truth in love. Silence in the face of deception is agreement.
