In a previous question I asked about the "son of perdition".

I would like to point out something that many people have missed.
2 Thessalonians 2:1 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him,
2 That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.
3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
In verse 3 it states "for that day shall not come". What "day"? The answer is in verse 1, " by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ".
What's my point? The Antichrist comes BEFORE Jesus comes!

Sorry I missed your question but to answer the one I missed it is Satan, who has already been judged and condemned to death.

This is not correct. True the anti-christ is already here in the earth but he is not manifested himself yet. Or he has not come to full power. You will have to read the Book of Daniel about the anti-christ. The anti-christ will arise during the period of the 7 year tribulation. However, Christ will return and rapture the Church before the 7 year tribulation. In book of Daniel, it talks about there is a time coming when the anti-christ will have power to conquer the church. But the time that we are living in right now, he does not have that power. He will not be able to conquer the church, until Christ comes for all those who were faithful. Those who are left behind will have to endure the 7 year tribulation and the persecution of the anti-christ. The apostle John in revelations saw a huge multitude of people which could not be numbered. The angel asked him do you know who these people are? They are those who have come out of the tribulation.

never the less the bible is clear, to look for christ not the anti christ, let us keep our focus on not the man of perdition, but on the bridegroom, he says watch and be steadfast for the Son of Man comes in an hour when we think not, a thief in the night, it means he comes when everyone is "asleep"
