    That's a very interesting question. Wiki has some interesting comments on the belief of the Antichrist - though not so much who it could be at present (that's a whole lawsuit right there!). Here's the link if you're interested http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antichrist

    This subject kind of fascinates me. If one was to believe that there will be such a thing - would that entity be in existence now?

    i recall reading something about the antichrist not being a person -- it was business or globalization. something along those lines.

    * The Antichrist is similar to the Islamic depiction of dajjal, who will appear as a powerful and corrupt leader; Isa (Arabic name for Jesus) will kill him in an epic war near Jerusalem. Muslims also have expectations of the antichrist; they call him al-Masih al-Dajjal ("Messiah-Liar"). He will defy Christ and pervert the words of the true Messiah. He will appear towards the end of this civilization. Quite a few Muslims believe the dajjal or anti-christ will deceive people, perform "miracles" (in reality sorcery) allowed by the permission of God as a test for people and whether they believe, get people to join his false religion and eventually claim to be a Prophet and then God. He will speak beautifully and fool people. Among the signs of the Hour will be the emergence of a beast from the earth. It will be very strange in appearance, and be extremely huge; one cannot even imagine what "it/he" will look like. Prophet Muhammad is reported to have said, "The Hour will not come until you see ten signs: the smoke for 40 days; the Dajjal; the Beast; the sun rising from the West; the descent of Jesus son of Mary; Gog and Magog; and three landslides - one in the East, one in the West, and one in Arabia, at the end of which fire will burst forth from the direction of Aden (Yemen) and drive people to the place of their final assembly."

    * Seventh Day Adventists teach that the anti-Christ is the office of the Papacy. In 1798, the French General Berthier exiled the Pope and took away all his authority, which was later restored in 1929. This is taken as a fulfillment of the prophecy that the Beast of Revelation would receive a deadly wound but that the wound would be healed.

    I can't believe it WilliamJ. We actually agree on something. I guess most people have never noticed what is on that crown he wears. I believe it is {VI,VI,VI.}
