Without an understanding of demon possession, it is impossible to understand the psyche of these individuals. A person possessed by a devil spirit is a willing accomplice. “The devil made me do it” is not an affirmative defense, but a confession.
Devil spirit influence is not the same thing as possession, neither is the anti-christ. One is simply being influenced in your thinking, the other is selling out your soul to the devil, the anti-thesis of being born again of God’s spirit.
Both a person possessed and an anti-christ will exhibit these traits. A person possessed can have that spirit cast out and be redeemed, if he or she so chooses. An anti-christ has the seed of the serpent in them, and they will be tormented for all eternity in the lake of sulphur and fire reserved for the devil and the beast. They would be worthy of pity were it not for their acts of atrocity, murder, genocide, and torture of millions and perhaps millions upon millions before it’s all said and done.
I’ll leave the psychobabble to those way smarter than me. Thankfully, we have a saviour from the wrath that is to come.
“Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with me.” (Revelation 3:20 ESV)
“because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved.” (Romans 10:9-10 ESV)
