Definition of Antichrist:-
Antichrist means against or instead of Christ. The term applies to all who deny what the Bible says about Jesus Christ, all who oppose his Kingdom, and all who mistreat his followers. It also includes individuals, organizations, and nations that falsely claim to represent Christ or that improperly ascribe to themselves the role of Messiah.
Does the Bible refer to only one antichrist?
1 John 2:18: “Young children, it is the last hour, and, just as you have heard that antichrist is coming, even now there have come to be many antichrists; from which fact we gain the knowledge that it is the last hour.”
2 John 7: “Many deceivers have gone forth into the world, persons not confessing Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh. This is the deceiver and the antichrist.”
(Notice that the “many antichrists” of 1 John 2:18 are here referred to collectively as “the antichrist.”)
Some of those identified as antichrist—
Persons who deny that Jesus is truly the Messiah
1 John 2:22: “Who is the liar if it is not the one that denies that Jesus is the Christ [or, Messiah, anointed one]? This is the antichrist.”
All who deny that Jesus is the unique Son of God
1 John 2:22: “This is the antichrist, the one that denies the Father and the Son.”
Compare John 10:36; Luke 9:35.
Apostates
1 John 2:18, 19: “There have come to be many antichrists . . . They went out from us, but they were not of our sort.”
Those who oppose Christ’s true followers
John 15:20, 21: “If they have persecuted me, they will persecute you also . . . But they will do all these things against you on account of my name.”
Individuals and nations that oppose Christ as King or that themselves falsely claim the Messianic role
Psalm. 2:2: “The kings of earth take their stand and high officials themselves have massed together as one against Jehovah and against his anointed one [Christ, or Messiah].”
See also Revelation 17:3, 12-14; 19:11-21.
Matthew. 24:24: “False Christs and false prophets will arise and will give great signs and wonders so as to mislead, if possible, even the chosen ones.”

I am amazed, usually when someone asks this question, they do not have a clue as to what the bible teaches, but I see you have done your homework and have most of the verses that deal with the anti Christ. . Usually I am the only one who quotes the scripture you quoted and the only one who knows the difference between the anti Christ and that man of sin that Paul talks about, which by the way is here already also. It is more an office that one man only. It is the office that claims the man holding it is God on earth.

Revelation 12 fortells the casting out of Satan to the Earth. This is when Satan plays the role of Christ, pretending to be Christ and deceiving the whole world. This is anti-christ, the great pretender. Most Christians will be deceived and bow at his feet.
Those who refuse to listen to the outpouring of the Holy Spirit through the two witnesses and continue to worship Satan thinking he is actually Christ will thus be shunned and denied entrance to the wedding feast.
Study your Bible.
Amos 8:11
Know Mark chapter 13 tells it all as it will occur.
Our Father has a plan for the insincere. be sincere.

"Who is a liar but he that denies that Jesus is the Christ? He is anti-Christ, that denies the Father and the Son. He that denies the Son, the same has not the Father." (I John 2:22)

during the tribulation the Antichrist will appear as a Savior God sent
Jesus as a Savior and Satan will send the Antichrist as a replication of Jesus to try to deceive people that he is the Savior he will appear to be raised from the dead he will appear to have been born of a virgin and so on he will even perform what appear to be miracles in an attempt to deceive

who ever denies that Jesus ever existed and/or that Jesus Christ is not LORD, belongs to the spirit of the antichrist.
