Within the church’s treatment of prophecy the speculative, and often ridiculous, naming of
Antichrist suspects only serves to potentially immunize many people against the very concept of
identifying the Antichrist when he does appear on the world scene. However, despite the many
inaccurate portrayals of world leaders as the Antichrist, there will come a time when Antichrist really will appear and fulfill the visions shown to Daniel concerning him. When this happens the signs of
who he is should be crystal clear to those who listen to God’s word, though he will be a master
deceiver who may actually be honored by many who call themselves Christians but do not genuinely
know the Lord.
