When Satan Comes Out of the Closet
2 Thessalonians 2:1-12
Sermon
by James Merritt

What does 1874, 1878, 1881, 1910, 1914, 1918, 1925, 1975, and 1984 have in common? Well, these are the years that a certain religious group have prophesied as the year that the world would come to an end.[1]

Let me ask another question. What do Napoleon, Joseph Stalin, Benito Mussolini, Adolph Hitler, and Ronald Reagan have in common? They have all been identified by some religious group as the Antichrist.[2] (In case you are wondering how Ronald Reagan got in there, his full name is Ronald Wilson Reagan; since each name has six letters, people associated with him the number 666.)

Now this is enough to tell us something about prophecy. Prophecy is important. It is too important to be NEGLECTED, it is too important to be REJECTED, and it is too important not to be INSPECTED.

There are so…
