I did a somewhat lengthy comment that may assist in this journey of knowledge if you care to read it. I felt compelled because of some of the things I was reading
Thanks for posting that comment. You know, I've never even bothered to study the subject of the Antichrist before. That may sound lax, but I'll tell you why.
For one matter, we should already be behaving morally, and the presence or absence of the Antichrist does not affect that duty.
For another, the world is already so full of dangerous Satanic deceivers that we should already be on our highest guard and practicing our utmost discernment. If that doesn't help you detect the Antichrist, well, you did your best and I don't think more could be required.
For yet a third, none of us are in control of the time and circumstance under which the Antichrist will come, so why worry about it? We're only responsible for those things under our control, which brings us back to the first two points.
But I'll let you know if I see anyone suspicious! ;)
So agree on Proverbs. I'm glad my parents - grandmother pushed it on us so hard when we were little. It definitely makes it easier to see what's going on. Most of the bible is just history. Prophecy is for confirmation

The Bible is almost not about right or wrong, at all. The book of Proverbs is, and is designed to be mastered as a child.
Prophecy has nothing to do with it, and antichrist is Prophecy.
