Jesus Christ and the Good Antichrist, the Two Lambs of Revelation

The Apostle John is reputed to have written both The Revelation and the Gospel of John. It is significant that the Greek word for "Lamb" that John uses in his Gospel to refer to Jesus Christ is NOT the same Greek word John uses for "Lamb" in The Revelation. Who is this second "Lamb"?

John uses two Greek words for "Lamb". They are arnion and amnos.

They occur in the following passages in the New Testament:

Amnos

John 1:29, 36

Acts 8:32 "The place of the scripture which he read was this, He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; and like a lamb dumb before his shearer, so opened he not his mouth".

1 Peter 1:19 "But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot".

Amnos, which is specifically used in the New Testament in reference to Jesus Christ, is never used in the Book of Revelation.

Arnion

Revelation:

5:6, 8, 12, 13

6:1, 16

7:9, 10, 14, 17

12:11

13:8, 11

14:1, 4, 10

15:3

17:14

19:7, 9

21:9, 14, 22, 23, 27

22:1, 3

Apart from the Book of Revelation the only other passage in the New Testament in which arnion is used is John 21:15, which reads, "So when they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, [son] of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my lambs.

Amnos mean simply "lamb". In contrast, arnion means "little lamb". John 21:15 indicates that arnion is a designation for a follower of Jesus Christ. This fact supplies us with an important clue to the character and identity of the Lamb-figure in The Revelation.

IN CONCLUSION

This word study further supports my claim regarding the meaning and nature of the Antichrist.

The relationship between Jesus Christ and the Antichrist is illustrated by the relationship between "Lamb" and "little lamb". The Antichrist is similar in standing to the latter, a "vice" as in vicegerent, vice regent, or Vice President; in any case, a person appointed by a ruler or head of state to act as an administrative deputy.
As a follower of Jesus the Christ, the Antichrist supports rather than opposes Him.

Lastly, this charge given to Simon Peter, as cited by John, appears to be prophetic. As the first pope, Peter pre-figured the Arnion of The Revelation, who is likely the last pope, Peter II (Petrus Romanus), the Antichrist.
