the false prophet; for the latter supports the former in all his Antichristian assumptions.
Note:
The term

, “a false Christ,” is to be distinguished from the
above; it is found in Matt. 24:24 and Mark 13:22. The false Christ does not deny the
existence of Christ, he trades upon the expectation of His appearance, affirming that he is
the Christ. The Antichrist denies the existence of the true God (Trench,

“The word is used of the Lord Jesus to describe His relation to God, Heb. 3:1; see John
17:3. The twelve disciples chosen by the Lord for special training were so called, Luke
6:13; 9:10. Paul, though he had seen the Lord Jesus, 1 Cor. 9:1; 15:8, had not ‘companied
with’ the Twelve ‘all the time’ of His earthly ministry, and hence was not eligible for a
place among them, according to Peter’s description of the necessary qualifications, Acts
1:22. Paul was commissioned directly, by the Lord Himself, after His Ascension, to carry
the gospel to the Gentiles.
