(the impersonator)
2 Thessalonians 2:4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.
John is telling us that the impersonator is coming in the last days and Paul tells us where he is coming to. He will make his appearance in Jerusalem, stand in the holy place and claim to be god.Show more

1 John 2:22 Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son. Just replace the word “antichrist” with “”imposter”’ or “”impersonator””

There are two ways to look at this. Those who saw him in the flesh didn’t believe He was a spirit and those who had never seen him in the flesh couldn’t believe he was also flesh. (If you don’t believe either way you are an imposter or antichrist.

In every verse the word “antichrist” is used, it’s used to describe an imposter or an impersonator, a mimic, a pretender or an actor, even to the point of becoming a phantom.

This was the point John was making and make no mistake he was talking about fake Christians who are impostors and also a singular antichrist.
