Logos 7 search features

I know that Logos is a very powerful tool with many searching and indexing features. I also understand that there are many different ways you can search for many different things you would like to learn. My question is if there is a simple way to search (say, for example by using some of the "secret" searching symbols like ){}"?><@^$* or whatever all of those "secret" things are) for in-depth information on something such as: In Epistles of John, how does John use the term "antichrist"? Is this usage the same as Revelation 13 and Paul's reference to the Man of Lawlessness in 1 & 2 Thess? I know that I could do separate searches on each of these portions of the question. However, I'm wondering if there is a way to combine all of the information in one powerful search. Thank you very much for your help in teaching more about how to use this powerful tool.

Right-clicking on the word "anitchrist" in 1 John 4 shows it is tagged with the Person AntiChrist.

Running the search against "this resource" (left hand side of the menu) results in

This does pic up the Thessalonian references but not anything from Revelation. This may make us pause for a moment and ask whether the being referenced in Rev 13 are to be equated with the antichrist. it suggests that those who did the tagging at Faithlife didn't think so (unless it was an omission).

But if you right-click on the beast in Rev 13:1 you can select a Preaching Theme on "Eschatology: AntiChrist".

Running this search (by default it will run a Basic Search but I have switched to a Bible search) gives a wider set of results including (although not shown in this screenshot) some from Daniel and the Gospels

Hopefully this will help to get you started

OR can be used to combine searches along with using prompter to select item(s):

Learned picking items can be misleading. Picked a Topic that finds nothing in my library. Preaching Theme needs Section qualification.

(<Person Antichrist>,<Person Beast from the Bottomless Pit>) OR {Section <PreachingTheme Eschatology: Antichrist>}

Keep Smiling [:)]
