a state or quality in persons or principles, which denominates them antichristian, or opposite to the kingdom of Christ.

M. Jurius takes the idea of the unity of the church to have been the source of Antichristianism. Had not mankind been infatuated with this, they would never have stood in such awe of the anathemas of Rome. It is on this the popes erected their monarchical power.

ANTICHRISTIANS properly denote the followers or worshippers of Antichrist.

ANTICHRISTIANS are more particularly understood of those who set up or believe a false Christ or Messiah.
