Why is it not used in the Old Testament?
Is it only a Jewish/Christian term? Or do other religions use it too?
Muslims are awaiting the "Mahdi" But would they also call him "Christ"?
The reason I ask is because in Matthew 24 and Mark 13 Jesus warns that in the last days there would be some who say "I am the Christ"
Does that mean that they are going to claim to be Jesus?
Is the devil going to come in Jesus name? Is he going to USE the Christian faith?
Or will they claim to be a "messiah" is the general sense of the word?
Matthew 24:5 For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many.
Matthew 24:23 “Then if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or ‘There!’ do not believe it.
Matthew 24:24 For false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect.
