You can find information about the person of the antichrist in Daniel. If you want to dive deeper into understanding the spirit of the antichrist, you can refer to this article, 8 Things to Know about the Spirit of the Antichrist. “I say this because many deceivers, who do not acknowledge Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh, have gone out into the world. Any such person is the deceiver and the antichrist.” ( 2 John 1:7) Such a person is the antichrist-denying the Father and the Son.” ( 1 John 2:22) “Who is the liar? It is whoever denies that Jesus is the Christ. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming and even now is already in the world.” ( 1 John 4:1-3) This is how you can recognize the Spirit of God: Every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. “Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. As we go forward, I will clarify this distinction. The Bible refers to the spirit of the antichrist and the person of the antichrist. I want to make a distinction because when you learn about the antichrist, there are two aspects you must consider. During this period, the antichrist becomes the dominant figure on the earth. As you look at the prophetic calendar, the Bible speaks about a period on the earth known as the tribulation. However, the antichrist gets defined by other names. This word only appears in scripture four times. The word antichrist means either against Christ or instead of Christ. We should look for and be ready for the coming of Jesus Christ. We should not spend our time looking for the coming of the antichrist. As you read this article, remember this one mandate. I would recommend you take this same mindset too. As I have matured in my faith, I no longer focus on figuring out who the antichrist is but on knowing what the Bible says about the antichrist. I got caught up in some of the speculations. There were all kinds of rationales and speculations about who he could be.
One aspect of Bible prophecy which people especially focused on was trying to figure out who the antichrist was. They expected Jesus could come at any moment many believed it would happen during that time (and I was one of them). People would look at the events happening in the world and try to see how they fit on the prophetic calendar. As a teenager growing up in church in the 1980s, I saw a lot of focus on Jesus’ return.
