How would you protect yourself if you knew that a deadly epidemic was raging in your area? You would likely build up your immune system and stay away from people who are contagious. We must do the same in a spiritual sense. The Scriptures tell us that the antichrist “is already in the world.” (1 John 4:3) If we want to escape “infection,” we must identify the “carriers” and avoid them. Thankfully, the Bible sheds considerable light on the subject.
“Antichrist” means “against (or instead of) Christ.” So in its broadest sense, the term refers to all who oppose or lyingly claim to be the Christ or his representatives. Jesus himself said: “He that is not on my side is against me [or is antichrist], and he that does not gather with me scatters.”—Luke 11:23.

The Antichrist will come from the region of the Roman Empire yet he would be of Jewish lineage. His being Jewish will possibly not be so evident. the reason at the back of this is because of the fact the Bible tells us he rises from the tribe of Dan. he's Jesus's nemesis and interior the Bible we see many contrasts of Jesus and the Antichrist.

The Antichrist will Rise To Power:
According to Bible prophecy, the next event on the endtime
calendar is the rise of a false christ to world prominence.
He is called the Antichrist.
The apostle John said that many false christs would appear
[ 1 John 2:18; 4:3] Claiming to be the Messiah, they will seek and attract many people. Some had already appeared while John was still alive. One day, however, the ultimate imposter
will come. He will gather a huge following. He will deceive
Israel into signing a false peace treaty [ Daniel 9:27 ]. And he
will be the cause of untold suffering in the world, especially
for the saints.
He will receive power from Satan [ Revelation 13:2 ]
He will receive his throne from Satan [ Revelation 13:2]
He will receive his authority from Satan [ Rev. 13:2]
He will be a ruler [ Rev.6:2]
His purpose will be conquest [ Rev.6:2]
He will be guilty of terrible blasphemy [ Rev. 13;5]
He will make a peace treaty with Irsael and then cruelly break it [ Daniel 9:27]
He will put himself above everything and everyone [Dan.11:37]
He will proclaim himself to be God [ 2Thesslonians 2:4]
He will stage a miraculous "resurrection" Rev.13:3
He will make war with the saints [ Rev.13:7]
He will have authority over the nations [Rev 13:7]
His number is 666 [Rev.13:18]
He will kill millions of believers [ Rev.6:9-11; 7:7-17]
A false prophet will serve him [Rev.19:20]
He will demand that his image be worshiped [Rev.13:14]
The antichrist is Satan's counterfeit.

Antichrist means "in place of" or "instead of"; not "against". The Antichrist is guilty of assuming God's authority. The Antichrist is alive today and he will play a very significant role in the final events of this earth. It is mentioned repeatedly in the prophecies. But you have to understand who the 4 beasts of Daniel 7 are in order to know who is the antichrist. Four beasts= 4 kingdoms. 1-Babylon 2-Medo-Persia 3-Greece 4-Rome, which had 10 horns that represent 10 kingdoms of Western Europe.The "little" horn with eyes like a man and mouth speaking great things, is described in great detail in Daniel 7,13, Rev.13
*Strong religious power/strong political power
*Guilty of blasphemy- Meaning: claiming to forgive sins,claiming to be God.(Luke5:21/John10:33)
*Think to change times and laws-God's Law
*Makes war with the saints and persecute them,Dark ages
*It would reign for 42 prophetic months.-this equals to 1260 years, from A.D.538-1798
*It would receive a deadly wound,but the wound would be healed and the world would give homage to the beast.-1798
*The antichrist(little horn) is a powerful Religious/Political system that influences the world. Governments listen, Religions listen. Due to the current situation in the world; violence, terrorism, hunger, disasters, drugs, genocides; the world is desperate for a solution, for peace. The world will listen to this powerful system; the world will think they are doing God's will.
History shows that every time the church passed laws to enforce its beliefs, persecution and murder of others resulted. In the final events of this earth, many people will be deceived by the antichrist. Many will follow the antichrist thinking they are following Christ. Only the ones that have remained faithful to God, and have prepared by reading the scriptures will avoid being deceived by the antichrist.
What should you do? prepare, read the scriptures, and you won't be deceived.

Whoever it was that said Bush was the Anti-Christ is ignorant and mistaken. Bush is the biggest religious family to ever enter the white house(hence the reason this country is so screwed now). Either way when the anti-Christ comes it will hopefully be the end of organized religion, the bloodiest and most counter-productive doctrines of mankind. For anyone interested in joining the anti-Christ movement email anti.christ@live.com or visit the freedom from religion website.

Why are you people so unhappy in this world? Why do you want it to end? All that stuff was about people and events long since gone. Not gonna happen. Get over it and get on with your life.

The antichrist is not a person, but an organisation. That organisation is called "Christianity"
