It treats the rich variety of early Christian speculations on the subject and shows that, within this variety, a continuity with Jewish speculations is to be discerned.

After the General Conclusion the book finishes with an extensive Bibliography and an Index. The book is of interest to any student of early Christian eschatology and the continuity between early Christianity and contemporary Judaism.

What are the antecedents of the "Antichrist" figure and its associated themes in Jewish literature prior to the New Testament? Here, Lorein offers the texts and translations of all the relevant passages, together with a discussion of their meaning and significance. He concludes that the "Antichrist" theme arises in different currents within this literature, but has its sources in the Old Testament/Hebrew Bible. In its scope and detail, as well as in many of its conclusions and its general synthesis, this book surpasses previous scholarship on a very important aspect of New Testament and early Christian thought.

“And then shall that Wicked be revealed...” 2 Thessalonians 2:8 In his third book in a series that includes The Timing of the Rapture and Is the United States Mentioned in Bible Prophecy: With a Treatise on the Ezekiel 38 and psalm 83 wars, Paul Wild addresses the incorrect views regarding the antichrist’s origin and characteristics. Much of the speculation regarding the identity of the pivotal person in end-times prophecy has hinged more on identifying powerful, influential men who are perceived as evil rather than uncovering the subtle details of his persona. Paul will: Identify his country of origin and his religious and cultural background Provide details on his physical and intellectual traits Provide details on the timing of his arrival and speculation on his age at that time Challenge the focus on Rome and Europe as his seat of power and place the focus on the Middle East Settle the argument on who Magog is from the Ezekiel 38-39 war narrative and how that war affects the rise and fall of modern nations leading to his ascension Show that the last three yearly Feasts of Israel set the pattern for the rapture of the Church, the repentance of Israel, the ruination of the antichrist, and the return of Jesus. This book is designed to provide the tools for the Body of Christ to identify the wicked man before he emerges on the world scene in order to prepare for the chaos that follows.
