This book contains everything the Early Church Fathers Irenæus and Hippolytus wrote about the Antichrist. First published in 1992, it was not released for public distribution until April 2005 because it was considered too controversial. It reveals that the popular “Left Behind” series is part of Satan’s plan to delude the world into believing his appearance as the Antichrist is the Second Coming of Jesus Christ.

This is a must read for every serious Christian who wants to discover the link between the Old Testament and the New Testament. Excellent research and writing.
I never liked or cared for "end time" theology because I had believed it was impossible to know what any of it meant for sure, but once again I was proved wrong. Lol. This book changed everything for me and renewed my urgency to learn about God! Highly recommended to any and all who finally want to know that they know.
The detailed or full book version of "The Antichrist" Learning what the Early Church Fathers taught about The Anticrist, End Times and the 2nd Coming of Jesus Christ. Below is my review of The Antichrist:
I know I had my beliefs prior to studying under Larry Harper as it went toward end times. They went something like this: "Pre-Tribulation Rapture" don't worry about it you will be raptured out of the mess before it gets to bad". There was not even an urgency to study the Book of Revelation except for my own bedazzling of others. Well after reading The Antichrist the summary version of "The Advent of Christ and Antichrist" my beliefs changed. It amazed me to see what the two Early Church Fathers (Irenaeus & Hippolytus) taught in regard to The Antichrist and End Times vs what I believed at the time. How did my beliefs differ so much from these two Early Church Fathers? Well Mr Harper gave me the answers! Some I was asking for and others I was not but got anyhow. Praise God!!!!
