Deep dives
Identity and Characteristics of the Antichrist
The Antichrist is described in various biblical passages, notably in 2 Thessalonians and the Book of Revelation, as a powerful evil leader who will emerge during the end times. This figure is often referred to as the lawless one, who will seek to establish himself as a false Messiah and control the world through economic and religious power. He will perform deceptive miracles and attract followers by presenting himself as a solution to humanity's problems, disguising his true intentions under a facade of peace and prosperity. Ultimately, this ruler's reign will culminate in a confrontation with Jesus Christ, who will return to defeat the Antichrist and establish God's kingdom on earth.
