Antichrist
Variations: Al-Daja, Al Daja’l, Al Maseeh,
Antichristoi, Antichristos, Antichristos Tertullian, the “Ape of God,” Ho Antichristos, Master
of the Revel, the second Beast
Antichrist is a Greek word that translates to
mean “in place of Christ” or “the opposite of
Christ.” Symbolically he is a vampire; whereas
Christ shed his blood for all of mankind, the Antichrist feeds off the blood of man.
It is believed by many that the Antichrist will
be born of the union between a virgin whose lineage can be traced back to the Tribe of Dan and
the DEVIL. The child that will be born will look
human in all ways and will rise to power as a
major political leader who preaches peace. Seven
years before the Apocalypse, he will come to
power and stay there for forty-two months.
Halfway through the Tribulation the Antichrist
will be slain and resurrected by the DEVIL, who
will then possess the body and finish out his rule.
He will have the ability to draw down fire from
the sky. The Antichrist will also be able to place
a mark on the right hand or upon the head of a
person to mark him as one of his followers. It is
said that without this mark, a person will not be
able to legally operate a business.
It is commonly accepted that the Antichrist’s
sacred number is six hundred sixty-six (666), also

known as the Number of the Beast, an idea that
came from the Book of Revelation in the New
Testament of the Christian Bible (13:17–180)
However, most scholars accept that the number
is code for the Roman Emperor Nero. In 2005,
however, scholars at Oxford University have
translated the oldest known copy of the Book of
Revelation, a 1,700-year-old papyrus, which has
led them to conclude that six hundred sixteen
(616) is the original Number of the Beast.
In the Book of Revelation the Antichrist is described as a creature rising up from the sea having
seven heads. Each head has ten horns and each
horn has upon it ten crowns. The body of this
creature will be that of a jaguar, but with the large
clawed feet of a bear, the vicious mouth of a lion,
and all the power of a dragon.
