This is where people go worng. The Anti-Christ is supposed to be the embodiment of everything evil in human nature. He is only called the anti-christ because Christ was supposed to be the embodiment love and harmony. The Anti-christ is not necessarily a religious figure.
And as we all know, there are evil people in the world. Even if you don't believe in the word "evil" there are people who just want to destroy, cause chaos, maim, and kill. There is no religion behind it. Religious people just seem to warn against the possibility of the extreme killer because they see a reason behind his coming. Whether it be the Rapture or the coming of drastic change.
Don't mistake a figure who stands for destruction as being religious in nature. The Anti, in Anti-Christ is just a way to describe this person, and most likely if the anti-Christ were to rise to power he would be a extremely against religion.
Now throughout history, people who prompted change were labeled by one group or another as the Anti-Christ. One persons anti-christ is another person's redeemer and Messiah.
The bible described the anti-christ as man and John of Patmos(the man who had the vision that would later be included in the bible as the book of Revelation) went so far as to name him be name by encoded. The number of the "Beast" was 666. In ancient Hebrew numbers doubled as letters. The name encoded by that number was Nero. Nero at that time was a bane of Christianity. But also stats that this man will bring peace and freedom to many. As well as solve economic problems through the inception of the encoding of humanity by "the mark of the beast" often interpreted as a microchip embedded in the right hand or forehead.
And then when the Anti-christ has his stranglehold on humanity, for 7 years the Anti-christ causes pain and suffering for all man-kind. The devout Christians having already left the Earth through the Rapture see none of the tribulation. Christ returns to replace order and peace for 1000 years.
Instituting a new Garden of Eden and paradise.
Nostradamus, named 3 anti-christs that would show up before then end of the world. And went so far as to name one of them "Hister". 500 years before the advent of the 3rd Reich. The last one Nostradamus named was a man by a variation of the name Mabus.
Will there every be a Anti-Christ is yet to be seen. But one thing we know for sure is that men crave power. And men are capable of unimaginable evil as seen in the Holocaust, and 10,000 years of war. The only question is if one man will ever rise to a enough high position and be evil enough to cause the downfall of civilization.
Sorry for the wall, but i was very interested in this subject for a long time.
