Joyful Life, (2) A Victorious Life, (3) A

11. The word antichrist is used only by John
in the New Testament, at these places: 1
John 2:18, 22; 4:3; 2 John 7. The pre x anti

“against” or “instead of.” The Zondervan
Pictorial Bible Dictionary says, “The word
antichrist may mean either an enemy of
Christ or one who usurps Christ’s name and
rights,” p. 47.
