There is some irony in right wing evangelicals talking about how the coronavirus will reveal the antichrist, which is described in the Bible with passages such as:
“Don’t let anyone deceive you in any way, for that day will not come until the rebellion occurs and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the man doomed to destruction. He will oppose and will exalt himself over everything that is called God or is
worshiped, so that he sets himself up in God’s temple, proclaiming himself to be God“ (2 Thes 2:3-4)
Yet, without a hint or irony these same evangelicals seem to blame the spread of the coronavirus on liberal elites:

Conservative radio show host and author Thomas Horn appeared on The Jim Bakker Show on Monday and Tuesday, saying that the coronavirus pandemic could bring about the Antichrist.
Horn and fellow author Carl Gallups appeared on the show to promote their latest books—Shadowland: From Jeffrey Epstein to the Clintons, from Obama and Biden to the Occult Elite: Exposing the Deep-State Actors at War with Christianity, Donald Trump, and America's Destiny by Horn and Masquerade: Prepare for the Greatest Con Job in History by Gallups. The two authors appeared on both Monday and Tuesday's episodes of The Jim Bakker Show.
The two authors spoke about the events of the day, with a particular emphasis on the coronavirus. Horn argued that elites were using coronavirus as an excuse to fulfill end-times Biblical prophecy outlined in Revelations, especially the idea that a mark—or implanted chip—in the head or the hand would be required for all people to be able to buy or sell things. Horn claimed on Monday that the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) was hoping to develop an "implantable biosensor that every human would have that would detect whether you are contaminated with some kind of a disease strain or whatever, and would need to be quarantined as a result."
Horn appears to be referring to a recent announcement that the biotech company Profusa was working on a study—funded by DARPA's SIGMA+ program—to attempt to discover early signs of influenza with biosensors. Horn alleged that this was all part of the Antichrist's plan to take over the world and bring about the last days of Earth.
