In "Psalm 10: Confronting the Spirit of Antichrist," Dr. Robert Potthoff, a King James Only, Dispensational, Bible-believing Senior Pastor of Eastside Church in Lancaster, SC, delves into the deceptive nature of the Antichrist as described in the Psalms. Drawing parallels between the wickedness portrayed by King David and the impending reign of the Antichrist, Dr. Potthoff provides valuable insights for Christians to stand firm in their faith and be prepared for spiritual warfare.
The book begins with an introduction emphasizing the importance of understanding the deceptive spirit of the Antichrist and the need to anticipate his tactics. It highlights the significance of familiarizing oneself with the outcome of the spiritual battle that lies ahead.
Divided into three sections, the book explores the deceptive nature of the Antichrist, the resistance against him, and the triumph of Christ over him.
In the first section, Dr. Potthoff examines Psalm 10:111, focusing on the prideful arrogance of the wicked.

By exploring the wicked's deceitful tactics, the author draws attention to the importance of discerning the spirit of antichrist in both the world and within the church.
The second section delves into Psalm 10:12-15, where King David pleads with God to intervene against the Antichrist. Dr. Potthoff emphasizes the assurance that God hears the cries of His people and will bring deliverance from the reign of the Antichrist. This section encourages readers to trust in God's power and seek His intervention in their lives.
The final section of the book, based on Psalm 10:16-18, focuses on the triumph of Christ over the Antichrist. Dr. Potthoff emphasizes the confidence that believers can have in God's ultimate victory over evil and the eternal defeat of the wicked. By highlighting the redemptive work of Christ and the assurance of salvation, the author encourages readers to stand firm in their faith and proclaim the hope of the Gospel.
