All three, and a financier, and a promoter of the "tolerance" doctrines that stifle free speech.

We have been warned by the apostle John’s words: “Every inspired expression that does not confess Jesus does not originate with God. Furthermore, this is the antichrist’s inspired expression which you have heard was coming, and now it is already in the world.” (1 John 4:3) Is there such an antichrist, an enemy of God and deceiver of men, now threatening the well-being of all humanity?

John used the term “antichrist” five times in two of his epistles. It refers to an entity that opposes what the Bible teaches about Jesus Christ and includes impostors who present themselves as Christ or as sent by him. The Bible gives reliable information about the antichrist.
Since the days of the apostle John, men have claimed that John’s words about an antichrist designate one specific individual. People have proposed various candidates.
Those promoting these ideas assume that John pointed to just one antichrist. But what do his words show? Consider 1 John 2:18: “Just as you have heard that antichrist is coming, even now there have come to be many antichrists.” Yes, “many antichrists,” not one, were responsible for the spiritually troubled situation back in the first century. Today there are, not one, but many antichrists who form the antichrist class. Collectively, they have heaped spiritual ruin upon mankind. (2 Timothy 3:1-5, 13) Who make up the antichrist?

Let us look at the wild beast of Revelation chapter 13 as a possibility. The apostle John wrote: “The wild beast that I saw was like a leopard, but its feet were as those of a bear, and its mouth was as a lion’s mouth.” (Revelation 13:2) What do these elements signify?

Bible scholars have noted a connection between Revelation chapter 13 and Daniel chapter 7. God gave Daniel a vision of figurative beasts, including a leopard, a bear, and a lion. (Daniel 7:2-6) What meaning did God’s prophet assign to them? He wrote that those wild animals symbolized earthly kings, or governments. (Daniel 7:17) So we can logically conclude that the wild beast of Revelation represents human governments. Since these governments oppose God’s Kingdom, they constitute a part of the antichrist.

Who Else Make Up the Antichrist?

When the Christ, the Son of God, walked the earth, he had many enemies. Although he is now beyond physical reach, he has modern-day opponents. Note who are included among them.

The apostle John stated: “Who is the liar if it is not the one that denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist, the one that denies the Father and the Son.” (1 John 2:22) Apostates and leaders of false worship twist the clear teachings of Jesus into knots of religious deceit. Such ones reject Bible truth and spread lies in the name of God and Christ. They deny the true relationship of the Father and the Son by their Trinity doctrine. Therefore, they too are a part of the antichrist.

What Awaits Antichrists?

“[God] will destroy those speaking a lie. A man of bloodshed and deception God detests,” says Psalm 5:6. Does this apply to antichrists? Yes. The apostle John wrote: “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.” (2 John 7) For their lies and deception, Almighty God will bring ruin upon antichrists.

As the time of executing that sentence draws near, true Christians must not allow anti-Christian deceit and pressure, especially from apostates, to weaken their faith. John’s warning is urgent: “Look out for yourselves, that you do not lose the things we have worked to produce, but that you may obtain a full reward.”—2 John 8.

This is off the beaten path of common perception. Christ is incorporeal. The anti-christ is also after this manner and has arrived in each of us. Jesus warned us that many would be running together for evil. Just because a man (in his ignorance) doesn't know the face of evil is no excuse to run with the pack. We all have been commanded to come out from among them. A knowledge of the Christ is a prerequisite to the transition of coming out from the pack. When we start to see the need of working out our own salvation here and now, it changes the whole outlook on life on earth, and we begin to see things differently than before. Each individual must go to war against this seeming anti-christ by adhering to the laws and doctrine Christ gave us. Christ gave man a perfect defense against any and all false claims put on mankind, even here and now.

This word appears in the New Testament "5" times, only FIVE TIMES yet because of the Apostles John's book of Revelations many connect his "delusions" to a "reality" which is never coming TRUE. Even Jesus, along with the other ten apostles shunned John and James for their vain need to be "important" or stand out from the rest even with those in authority. This word ANTICHRIST only meant ANYONE who did not believe in Jesus and his message, and as THUS "against" his doctrines. ANTI=against CHRIST=the messiah. ...PERIOD

ANTICHRIST IS NOT AN INDIVIDUAL
=============================

By the very definition AntiChrist is not a single individual.

Apostle John says that "have there arisen **many** antichrists"! (1 John 2:18)

Anti Christ is **ANYONE WHO DENIES JESUS IS CHRIST** (1 John 2:22)

CHRIST = MESSIAH = ANOINTED.

**Now it is everybody's knowledge as to who denied the Messiah!***

But see the political / economic / commercial upper hand of the AntiChrist!

Jesus Loves You, So do I

all 3 and more........ People have wished for *world peace* for generations, and they will get it...... but, not for ever, and NOT the kind of peace they seek........ *sigh*....... I have come to believe, and this is JUST ME, that he will rise through the power of money, root of all evil, money is not evil, but it turns men, and MOST politicians do come from some sort of business wealth....... and YES he will become a religious leader in time..... NOT through Jesus or what is Holy, but by that which is NOT........ People will call him holy, and bow to him as if he were, and those that are blinded will not see until it is to late........ my humble thoughts and opinion....... go in peace......... God bless

The number six represents the number of man. Man was created on the sixth day. THE ANTICHRIST has three sixes (666) therefore he is a man.

He will be the unexpected politician and he will have his religion in his pocket in the way of the false prophet.
He is in the world now and possibly in the U.N. but more likely in the E.U.
Watch for the next Pope. He will be the last Pope.

I believe that he will be all 3. He will have to be in a position of power to get his message across, so I am sure that politician will be his number one goal. Of course, this is just the gospel of Pupcake. :)
