does it mean that there is someone who will comes in this world propose by his own name and he will be the one who accept by the people of god in the future? I can’t understand this verse please help me thankssss!!!
The OP is asking because there is a cult in the Philippines where Pastor Apollo claims to be Christ using John 5:43 to justify it. He said the sonship of Jesus ended when he died on the cross and now he (Pastor Apollo) is the Christ, the Son of God.Great observation, I never really gave that verse the thought that it deserves.
CORNELIUS À LAPIDE said this…
Another therefore will be that Antichrist whom the Jews will receive, though they rejected Christ. To this apply the words of Paul (2 Thes. ii. 10), “Therefore God shall send upon them the working of error, that they may believe a lie, that all may be judged, who have not believed the truth, but have consented to iniquity.” So SS. Chrysostom, Cyril, Augustine, and the ancient writers, passim. Again, another may mean any false prophet, pretending to be Christ, and therefore a forerunner of Antichrist, like that Egyptian, shortly after the time of Christ, who led thousands of men to destruction (see Jos. Bell. Jud. lib. 2, c. 12).
*Seest thou that He everywhere declareth that He hath been “sent,” that judgment hath been committed to Him by the Father, that He can do nothing of Himself, in order that He may cut off all excuse for their unfairness? But who is it that He here saith shall come “in his own name”? He alludeth here to Antichrist, and putteth an incontrovertible proof of their unfairness. *does it mean that there is someone who will comes in this world propose by his own name and he will be the one who accept by the people of god in the future?
