Who Will Be the Antichrist?
This page is a living companion to the chapter in the book. It summarizes the chapter, adds videos and resources, and will be updated as new developments unfold.
About This Chapter
Few topics generate more speculation than the identity of the Antichrist. Over two thousand years, candidates have ranged from Roman emperors and medieval popes to dictators, caliphs, and today even AI, aliens, and hybrid beings.
Scripture uses the word “antichrist” in only four verses, all in John’s letters, yet it gives a composite portrait of this figure from Daniel to Revelation. At his core he embodies deception, control, and counterfeit worship.
