The concept of the Antichrist is a significant theme in Christian eschatology, with several references throughout the New Testament. In 1 John 2:18, the Apostle John warns believers that "this is the last hour; and as you have heard that the antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come. This is how we know it is the last hour." This passage highlights that the spirit of the Antichrist is already at work, manifesting in those who deny Christ.

In 1 John 2:22, John further identifies the Antichrist as anyone who denies Jesus is the Christ, thus rejecting both the Father and the Son. The theme continues in 1 John 4:3, where John states, "every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming and even now is already in the world." Additionally, 2 John 1:7 describes deceivers who do not acknowledge Jesus' incarnation as the Antichrist.

Paul, in 2 Thessalonians 2:3-4, refers to this figure as the "man of lawlessness," who will exalt himself above God, deceiving many. Revelations 13 portrays a beast symbolizing the Antichrist, exercising great power and deceiving the earth. The Antichrist's primary characteristics include denial of Christ, deception, and promoting lawlessness.
