This is my gut opinion. What does satan do best? Imitate God...give just enough truth to get your attention then GOTCHA! I would think that he will be a man, rising from the old Roman Empire (could be an Arab) that is single, nice looking, charismatic, suave, sophisticated, but down to earth enough that he appears to care for the lowly peasant. I would think....33 years old? Everyone knows that Jesus was 33 when He was crucified. Remember, he'll be an aper. It's got to be someone who can soothe the Palestinians into allowing the Temple to be rebuilt where it is. It'll be someone who can communicate with passion and fury, to help the world get back on it's feet, taking it into a one world government. Since Jesus was celibate, he probably will state that he is. Since the force of the Holy Spirit in so many Christians will be removed, all hell will literally break loose. There will be nothing to stop him. This will be his time. His first plan of business is to sign a peace treaty with Israel. Then it all begins, and what will be unleashed has no historic precedent. Oh he's alive alright. I'd venture to say that he's probably in his twenties....maybe late 20's....could even be in his early 30's by now.....it could only be just a matter of time. God's Spirit is still saving souls and nothing will happen until the last person who will accept His Gift of Grace gets saved. Then ..... whoooooooooooosssshhhhh! We're gone!
I would guess that the man who will be the anti-christ of Biblical prophecy is already born, but is still unknown, possibly even to himself.
This is all just supposition on my part, but what do you think of this scenario? The anti-christ is going to be loved by everyone. He is going to be seen as a savior and a messiah by the whole world. He is going to have to save the world from some great crisis. I think that "crisis" will be the Rapture.
One third of the people on this planet will be gone in the blink of an eye - doctors, policemen, air-traffic controllers, etc. Think of the accident that will happen if just one semi-truck driver were to vanish driving down a busy highway. Now multiply that by a lot - every Christian that is behind the wheel of a truck or car, or flying an airplane. There will be a shortage of people to manufacture and deliver the food and medicine and energy that we depend on for modern survival. Roads will be blocked with abandoned cars, and travel will be all but impossible.
It is not just Christians who will be raptured, but everyone who has not yet reached the age of accountability will be taken up because of their innocence. I can't even imagine the panic that will ensue when all the children, even the ones in utero, vanish without a trace. If the Rapture happens during the school day, there will be hysterical mobs outside all the schools demanding explanations as to where their children went.
Angry mobs tend to multiply, so the chaos will get bigger and bigger. I am sure there are some Christians in the business of getting your TV, radio, and cable to people. There are bound to be some Christian journalists and reporters. In the midst of all this upheaval, finding out what is going on will be difficult. Not knowing what has happened, why it has happened, or what to do will only exacerbate the situation.
This “crisis” will effect the whole world. The people left on Earth left will need a leader. They will beg for someone, anyone who will help them. Without the Holy Spirit to restrain him, the anti-christ will be able to step up and “save the day,” but only if the whole world will accept him as leader. And the world will.

Does it really matter?......whether it's because Jesus returns or because we drop dead from a heart attack we don't know if our deadline for making our choices in life is next week or thirty years from now......I think we need to spend less time figuring out when Christ is going to return and more time figuring out what we need to be doing here and now......
You are absolutely correct Angelique. The hysteria over the missing children. That was one point I forgot that you didn't. WTG! I can't imagine what those parents will be going through. That breaks my heart....for them 
I was hungry.....
I was thirsty......
I was naked.....
I was in prison......
and you didn't do squat
not what you want to hear folks

Wow, heavy dudette.
But, you made one good point, Biblically speaking, the Anti will be universally loved. He/She/It hasn't surfaced yet.
Anyway, I've very happy that I don't have to burden myself with this kind of metaphysical nonsense.
Apparently your post is a dud, with 3/5ths of the responses by you.

The booger smearing is unbecoming
Lisa takes a jab to the right and makes available her left...she knows who she is and how important her work is...she takes no offense...VICTORY! DING DING DING
We all DO need to be aware of the signs of the times....and it is an important topic or there would be no mention of the anti christ in the bible....
Thanks for posting Lisa, you are appreciated
From that simple, and nicely earthy comment, I gather you catch my drift.The booger smearing is unbecoming
I agree that we need to be spending more time "doing unto Him" than thinking on the anti christ and for that I gave the amen...but we really don't know how much time others are spending "doing unto Him" so we can't assume that people don't want to hear it....just saying
.
We are told specifically that when we see the signs approaching that we are to look up because our redemption draweth nigh. We are NOT supposed to be looking for THE anti-christ. That being said, with the frequency of the "birth pangs" now, I"m convinced that he has already been born and is waiting for his "day" in the spotlights. Something to ponder....THE anti-christ will eventually be the head of one world government, and one world religion. He will also be responsible for the economic system in the end-times. IMO, he will come from the financial sector, not a religious one, or a leader of government either. Currently, this 'world' worships the almighty dollar (or whatever the name of the currency in whatever country). And looking through the economist in Europe only would be a major snooze-fest for me. I'd rather be looking up.
If the Anti-Christ is a catalyzing character who unifies and drives toward a worldly order, as I understand he'll do, then he is not here now. Lets see- the leaders of the promised land are all divisive; the leaders of Europe are all divisive; the leaders in Asia are all divisive, and God knows, the western world isn't providing a convenient cocoon either. Perhaps the next generation will see him? Then again, folks have been saying that for quite some time.
I've come to see the "Anti-Christ" as a warning of massive persecution; a call to shore up. A number of Caesars were Anti-Christs; Hitler was an Anit-Christ, perhaps simultaneously with Stalin. The point being that the End Time Prophecies have been fulfilled, in description, a few times over, and that perhaps we are not looking to the "end of the world", but the end of the world as we know it. It's a theory I bat around, but I certainly don't see a foundation for an Anti-Christ in the here and now. Look at the persecuted in our own sphere- Muslims and Mexicans and Homosexuals- Christians, in spite of how they view their place in the world, are a mild argument currently, and persecution on a world-wide scale is just a bad dream right now.

Mr. Sticks.....you forgot about the Jews getting a homeland that was promised in Scripture. That happened May 15, 1948. Scripture further states that that generation shall not pass before the rapture. It doesn't actually use those words. That's why everyone's jaw dropped in 1948. That was 62 years ago.....oey vah! Did I spell that right SG? Probably not. As I posted in another thread, there will be a peace treaty with Israel that will start the 7 year count down. That hasn't happened yet.
SG, I squatted!!!!! I squat by donations and typing until I can't anymore! Like right now.

Ahh, yes, but they still fight for it. Rockets and bombs, and the promised land is still an uneasy place; a place where skin tones are similar, and God speaks to everyone, but crosses and moons are still hidden by the common people; a place where a church or mosqe might be safe, on the right day, but the street is not. When they lay down arms and unite under a common leader, I'll look for an Anti-Christ.
What we are saying is that the Antichrist has already been born. He just hasn't taken his position yet as leader of the one-world government/religion/economy. He's "waiting in the wings". He's brought out "in public" when the 1st seal of Revelation is opened--The rider on the white horse. He is carrying a bow, but no arrows. A bow is an "instrument of war" but he doesn't have any arrows to use to make it "work". In the following seal judgments, we're told that peace is taken from the earth and 1/4 of the world's population will die from, among other things, war. No peaceful time there! It isn't until later that the peace comes when the covenant is signed with Israel. No where in the Bible does it say that the Antichrist won't manifest UNTIL there is peace! There won't be "peace" until AFTER the Antichrist arrives on the scene---don't look for it before. Scripture tells us, by reading all of scripture not just isolated verses, that there will still be one or probably 2 battles or wars in the middle east around and in Jerusalem before the Antichrist is revealed. And if you see the Antichrist and the "peace" that he brings, that will mean that you have missed being "called home" as part of the "bride of Christ".
You are absolutely correct Chimney. One thing I would like to add, if it's okay, is that the reason there are no arrows with the bow (the sign of war) is that the Anti-Christ takes over without one shot being fired, one arrow flying........he rises and takes over in a position of head honcho. That is amazing to know. Just takes over the world, with the world's permission. It's unbelievable, but true.
He won't have any arrows in his bow. That doesn't mean that no one else will. People will vie for such and important position. And it's sad, but the world will not only give its permission but it will beg him to become their leader!
