The anti-Christ is a part of Revelation, which is - I'll be polite - fiction. I don't believe in the rapture, the second coming, or any of that bullshit. I think the bishops in Charlemagne's councils who included that book in the New Testament were morons for doing so. Clearly, it's either an allegorical hit piece on the Roman government, or the ravings of someone who was tripping on the wrong kind of Mediterranean mushroom. I can't help but think that we'd be much better off as a society if people weren't trying to trigger the end of the world because "the Bible."
