Was Thomas Jefferson AntiChrist?
Could Thomas Jefferson be AntiChrist? It Depends On How You Define The Term.
Every time some new public figure struts onto the world stage, Christians are all a twitter about whether or not he is the AntiChrist. But none has emerged as the real McCoy to the chagrin of many fundamentalist Christians — and we think we know why. The real AntiChrist actually appeared a couple of millennia ago.His name was Nero and to be precise, he was “the beast”, not “antichrist.”
But I digress. The <i>Declaration Of Independence</i> is defended as a Christian document in a book by Herb Titus entitled “The Declaration of Independence: The Christian Legacy.” (Titus Publications, 1995)
“Is a man who believed what Thomas Jefferson believed capable of writing what Mr. Titus says he wrote?” Ultimately, we’ll leave you to answer that question, gentle reader. But consider the facts.
Thomas Jefferson was a Unitarian who denied that Jesus Christ was God. In a letter dated June 26, 1822 Thomas Jefferson wrote to Dr. Benjamin Waterhouse, “…I trust that there is not a young man now living in the United States who will not die an Unitarian.”
As noted above, most Christians believe that the AntiChrist will arise in the last days as a supreme dictator. However, the Bible itself tells us that the antichrist is not just one person, but many.
“Children, even now many antichrists have arisen…They went out from us, but they were not really of us… (I John 2: 18, 19). A few verses later (2:22) we read: “This is the antichrist, the one who denies the Father and the Son.”
Thus, we learn that Thomas Jefferson was — by Biblical definition – “antiChrist.” That is, he denied that Jesus is the Christ.
What else can we conclude but that Thomas Jefferson was an antichrist. Not <i>the</i> AntiChrist, but <i>an</i> antichrist. That is, one who has departed from the faith or is “gone out from us.”
This leads to an important question, “Is it wise for Christians to adopt the words of one who has left the faith to define their position on civil government?”
How can antichrist be capable of, or motivated to, defend the Lordship of Christ in the civil realm? I suppose anything is possible. God did make a donkey talk one time.
Or could it be that Thomas Jefferson is presenting an anti-Christian view of civil government? A view that says government is all about defending the rights of man, rather than upholding the glory and law of God as the basis of our legal system.
