The Bible uses the word "antichrist" only five times:
1-2. Dear children, this is the last hour; and as you have heard that the antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come. This is how we know it is the last hour. - 1 John 2.18
3. Who is the liar? It is the man who denies that Jesus is the Christ. Such a man is the antichrist—he denies the Father and the Son. - 1 John 2.22
4. but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming and even now is already in the world. - 1 John 4.3
5. Many deceivers, who do not acknowledge Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh, have gone out into the world. Any such person is the deceiver and the antichrist. - 2 John 7
There is absolutely NO MENTION of any antichrist in the book of Revelation, yet many Christians insist that he is spoken of there.

The mystery of lawlessness revealed, the man of perdition (wasting, Antichrist, Beast 666) who sits in the temple claiming to be good as God. (II Thesolonians, Daniel) Even though he isn't called the Antichrist, he is The Antichrist. Antichrist means against the Saving Grace of God through faith in Jesus Christ of Nazareth. There are many antichrists out there. But after the Rapture, the mystery of lawlessness will be revealed. Because it is the salt of the Church that is preventing lawlessness right now.
The mystery of lawlessness will be revealed after the Rapture (part of the 1st Resurrection). Right now I have my suspicions that it will be associated to the Mahdi of Islam, and one who claims to be the Christ (Jesus) who destroys all the crosses. And if any doesn't bow to the beast or take its mark in back of forhand or forhead will have head cut off. Those martyred will also be part of the 1st Ressurrecton. The 1st Ressurection started when Jesus Christ raised from the dead a new everlasting body; and will be completed when all who are redeemed by the Blood of the Lamb are Resurrected into a new everlasting body. Just before the Millinnium Reign of Christ.

Antichrist will not be born of the womb or possess a human body. Satan is Antichrist and will be supernatural and able to perform miracles to deceive the whole world. “Anti” in the Greek means “instead of” or instead of Christ.
CHRIST SPEAKING
(Luke 10:18-19) And He said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven. (19) Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.
SATAN BOOTED OUT – DRAGON SERPENT DEVIL
(Rev.12:7-9) And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, (8) And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven. (9) And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
SATAN THE SERPENT - BEGUILES
(II Cor.11:3) But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.
SATAN HIMSELF – TRANSFORMED INTO AN ANGEL OF LIGHT
(II Cor.11:14-15) And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. (15) Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.
SATAN CLAIMING TO BE GOD
(II Thes.2:3-4) 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; (4) Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.
SATAN WILL DECEIVE THE WHOLE WORLD
(Dan.9:27) And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.
CHRIST SPEAKING
(Mark 13:21-22) And then if any man shall say to you, Lo, here is Christ; or, lo, he is there; believe him not: (22) For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect.

Yet to come? He was here on 9/11. Guess where the "Convert or die" came from.
