who believes that anti-christ is here already? If the anti-christ is not here then when do you think he come.

Rev 13:17 so that no one can buy or sell unless he has the mark, that is, the name of the beast or the number of its name.
Rev 13:18 This calls for wisdom: let the one who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man, and his number is 666.
Before the invention of figures by the Arabs, in the tenth century, letters of the alphabet were used for numbers. The Greeks in the time of Homer, or soon after, are thought by some to have assigned to their letters a numerical value corresponding to their order in the alphabet. If you are familiar with the Greek of the New Testament, an argument can be made that the 666 is an allusion to Emperor Nero. Just as easily an argument can be made that the 666 refers to a "Latin Power" or, the Roman Catholic Church, Julius Caeser Atheus, Luther, and others.
As you can see from the above, there is no consensus on the interpretation. The antichrist is figurative, not a literal person, but a body of belief that denies Jesus is the Christ, the second person of the Triune God.
1Jn 2:22 Who is the liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist, he who denies the Father and the Son.
1Jn 4:3 and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you heard was coming and now is in the world already.
2Jn 1:7 For many deceivers have gone out into the world, those who do not confess the coming of Jesus Christ in the flesh. Such a one is the deceiver and the antichrist.

Clearly, The Anti-Christ has yet to come to Power. Whether He is already born or not, there is no way of knowing. The Anti-Christ is an imposter so in his early life, there will be absolutely no way to tell it is him. He will be considered the best of person and he will likely do much for "The good of mankind"
He will not attain power until AFTER the Lord comes for his church, the Rapture as it is normally called. The Bible says that He will make a treaty of peace with Israel and He will rebuild the Temple of Solomon to delare himself as GOD. It is unquestionable that whoever makes these steps is the Anti-Christ, but as Believers, we will not face his Dominion. The Lord is calling us Home before His Judgement comes.

What does the word "anti" Christ mean? It means against Christ.
How many religions are against Christ? How many governments are against Christ?
It could be a large group of people not just one.
I think the anti Christ will rear it's ugly head before too long and suppress Christians before the end comes.

The anti-Christ is not a man, it is a government; (and it's not the U.S. like most would like to think)just as when Christ comes back he will be issuing in a ruling government system to be put into place for 1,000 years.

No-one knows who he'll be or how he'll come or when, but I think it's pretty obvious that his spirit is here already. I think even the anti-christ opinions aired on this forum reflect that.

I will start off by contradicting you. There is NOBODY in my heart. There has only been ONE person in my heart at a time and she has left. Your god is NOT real and this is not a lie to myself, it's a truth to you. If you are unable to prove the existence of an object than that object is not real. Why I am against christianity, that's another story. Christianity causes a hell of a lot more pain than happiness. That is why I am against it with all my might.

actually no one really know's wheather he's here or not, nor when he'll come. Only God know's when. But let me tell u that the Bible says that there will b a lot of trouble and disaster around the world bfore the antiChrist so I could say we r near it. But mayb I'm rong. Like I said only God know's.
