Through the ages he has been given many names. The lawless one. The beast. The arch-deceiver. But most people know him as the anti-Christ. He is at the heart of an apocalyptic vision of starvation and slaughter that many Christians accept as true. Decoding the Past
Above all he represents a paradox. The Anti-Christ is the embodiment of evil. But believers look for his coming with a frisson of anticipation Fact or fiction his role in the Christian religion is clear: he is Satan’s human emissary on Earth. ibid.
The transitional period is called the Tribulation by adherents of Biblical prophecy. It’s part of a system of Biblical interpretation called Dispensationalism, which is favoured by some evangelicals and fundamentalists. According to their theory there will be a seven-year period that culminates in unspeakable suffering and dominated by Christ’s antithesis – the Anti-Christ. ibid.
It can be argued that Zoroaster articulated an end-of-time scenario that’s similar to what later appeared in the Bible as the final duel between good and evil. The supernatural end-of-time battle is the central core of the drama of the Anti-Christ. Some scholars think Zoroastrianism influenced Judaism and therefore Christianity. ibid.
The Book of Revelation speaks to us across the centuries. It is a fascinating but obscure text teeming with fantastical images of sea monsters and seven-headed beasts. ibid.
As is the case with the Book of Daniel, the word Anti-Christ does not occur in Revelation. In fact the word only appears five times in the collected works of the Bible ... As in the book of Daniel, some of the strongest imagery in Revelation describes a beast. ibid.
It can only be understood in its historical context. It is generally accepted that Revelation, the last book of the Christian Bible, was written in the 1st Century A.D. ibid.
In A.D. 68 he [Nero] stabbed himself in the neck and died ... he had gleefully embraced the Anti-Christ role: nailing Christians to crosses, feeding them to lions, and burning them on poles at night to illuminate his garden parties ... In addition to implicating Nero personally, experts maintain that many passages in Revelation are primarily about Rome. It is clearly possible to read Revelation as an indictment of Roman power or alternatively as prophetic evidence of a coming Anti-Christ. But is there a third way to interpret the text? ibid.
The term Anti-Christ has been used throughout history to demonise all manner of people. From popes to presidents to pop stars. It has been a rallying cry and a death knell triggering passion and unbridled ferocity. And yet Anti-Christ, perhaps the most highly charged word in the Christian lexicon, is buried deep in the Bible where it appears only in minor passages and on just a handful of occasions. ibid.
During the crusades the name Anti-Christ was used to stir up hatred against both Muslims and Jews. ibid.
The Muslim ruler Saladin’s recapture of Jerusalem in 1187 gave rise to arguments that he was the Anti-Christ. Interestingly Muslims also have an Anti-Christ figure called the Dajjal. ibid.
The Anti-Christ has been the arch-villain of Christian iconography for the last two millennia. Believers in prophecy have never ceased awaiting this figure who is Christ’s evil opponent and Satan’s human representative on Earth during the end-times. They dread his arrival but also ironically welcome it. Decoding the Past: The Antichrist: Zero Hour
