Are We Seeing Antichrists Today? A Biblical Explanation
In this episode, Pastor Mike explains how Scripture distinguishes between the many “antichrists” we see throughout history and the final Antichrist described in the Bible. While smaller antichrists are characterized by deception, hostility toward Christ, and moral collapse, they ultimately rely on manipulation and falsehood rather than true supernatural power.
Pastor Mike also explains that the final Antichrist—the man of lawlessness—will be uniquely marked by genuine signs and wonders empowered by Satan, including the suspension of natural law. This conversation helps believers understand how to remain discerning in an age of deception, cultural hostility, and growing hatred toward truth, morality, and human life.

Guest (Male): The small antichrists from the Antichrist. Emma, we dealt with that one online too. The Antichrist...
Mike Fabarez: I will say this. One thing I suggested in my answer is that charlatans are often con men, and they're doing things that fool people. I called them charlatans, I think. The real Antichrist is doing actual signs and wonders. They are by the power of the enemy, and the power of the enemy can do actual suspension of natural law.
That's why I often say if you see someone doing an actual suspension of natural law, you better wonder about what's going on there. The next forecast of real spectacular suspension of natural law—I'm talking about the sun standing still and the dead rising—the Bible says the next forecasted rash of that is going to come by the hand of the man of lawlessness, the Antichrist. That is going to be the differentiation.
The small antichrists are just going to be a lot of people that are going to teach against the Christ. They're going to oppose the Christ. We have seen that right now. All the vitriolic stuff that's on the internet right now, rejoicing and stomping on the grave of Charlie Kirk, is a good example. Just terrible, horrific, vitriolic stuff that is being done is a good example of people that hate what is good.
People that rejoice in murder, that is anti-good, is certainly anti-morality and anti-human. Think about the list in 2 Timothy chapter 3. There's a word, the ninth one on that list, regarding not having natural affection. It's called heartless in the ESV. There's no humanity anymore in people.
That sense of not having any humanity left, when someone can go and take a set of flowers and candles in a memorial for Charlie Kirk, who got slaughtered, and go march through them and kick them down. I watched one this morning where this girl was cursing and flipping everybody off and saying the worst possible things and destroying this memorial to a man that was killed doing his job, which was to go out there and openly, respectfully dialogue with people.
That is the loss of humanity. That kind of thing is anti-Christian. It's anti-human. It's the kind of thing that's characterizing the end times according to 2 Timothy chapter 3, verses 2 through 4. We will see a lot of that. But the real Antichrist, the ultimate one according to the Bible, Emma, is going to come with a rash of real miraculous signs.
