When will the Antichrist be on the earth ?
Antichrist is more of an attitude and conciousness movement than a being. It also includes those who think they’re Christians, but don’t follow His word and true teachings. Certain aspects of Roman Catholicism, in particular, fall under Antichrist. The Bible is full of partial truths and fairy tales. There is older and newer scripture that needs to be considered when piecing together the truth.
The Anti-Christ you are refering to as a single person may already be among the living on earth. Remeber to that many have come before that also be considered an Anti-Christ. Such as Hitler, Stalin, Napoleon, just to name a few. You should keep in mind two things: 1. The “Spirit” of Anit-Christ is always present. Any person, agency, church, teacher, movie, book, science, bilboard, all could very well be of anti-christ. Anything that goes against the teachings of Christ and the way of living that God would want us to follow is Anti-Christ. and 2.

Definition: Antichrist means against or instead of Christ. The term applies to all who deny what the Bible says about Jesus Christ, all who oppose his Kingdom, and all who mistreat his followers.

Does the Bible refer to only one antichrist? 1 John 2:18: “Young children, it is the last hour, and, just as you have heard that antichrist is coming, even now there have come to be many antichrists; from which fact we gain the knowledge that it is the last hour.” 2 John 7: “Many deceivers have gone forth into the world, persons not confessing Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh.
