The Antichrist: Alive Today?

There's something slick and disturbing to me about Mitt Romney. If I believed in the Antichrist, or the devil, which I do not, I imagine he'd appear like Romney - dark, greased back hair, fake sincerity, dubious politics, sanctimonious. But it's all laughable really, isn't it? If anyone deserved the title in recent history, it would have been Hitler. Maybe the Antichrist has been and gone?

I never gave it much thought and I doubt he is alive today. I know many people feel we are in or nearing the "end times" but I just don't see it that way. Yes we do have many things going on but I really do beleive they are minor compared to what the real tribulations will be. I think we are still far off from those times so the antichrist wouldn't be here yet. I can't even think of anyone that really fits the given description. It's a little annoying to not be able to read other responses when you answer straight from your email. I'd love to have read how other people responded before I responded to this one. Maybe someone else has named a person that would make me say Hmmm...good point.

I don't think there is such a thing. I don't believe it exists. The antichrist could be a woman. I can think of a few candidates, but won't mention any names. Anyway, this nothing more than media and religious hogwash.

In my humble opinion the Anti-Christ has been around all along. He resides right inside us, the question is, are we going to let him out?

On The Omen (2006 remake) they had a special feature talking about the numbers 666 and how that is connected to the devil. Someone on the DVD said that George Bush's (both of them) name comes out to 666 when using the Hebrew numerical thing (each 6 was for each name. So the first name comes out to 6, the middle name comes out to 6 and the last name comes out to 6.) I thought that was interesting and funny lol.

Every generation picks its anitchrist. This has been going on since the christian testament was codefied. Prior to that there was no need for such a thing. The Book of Daniel was not predicting the end times as the christians believe but that is too long a story for now. Obviously I do not believe that the antichrist is alive and well right now nor do I think that he will ever arrive. I do think that people like the Pres. of Iran would like to take advantage of the christian belief in these things and make it look like these things are happenning. There are enough fanatical Muslims listening to him that they would be perfectly willing to lay down their lives in order to start a war to end all wars in the Mideast. I am not saying that all Muslims are willing to do this, just the fanatical ones, but that may be enough. If Ahmadinejad decided to make it look like the end of times was happening, I think he could probably pull it off with a little help from his friends.

I do not believe there is or will be an Antichrist. If anyone is going to destroy the world, it will be humanity as a whole for not respecting one another. Of course, I will be happy if the world does not end in 2012 when the Mayan Calendar ends.

My thoughts are he is proberly in Iraq because that is were Jesus lived. I could be wrong though. It could be a movie star or a singer.

Hmmmm.....Donald Trump comes to mind.....lol....just kidding.

i have read revelations a few times, and i think we are nearing end times. all the catastrophes are clearly named in the bible. re 4 horseman of the apocalypse. then the antichrist will or are good looking and will speak with much persuation. i think his time is near and i have a strange feeling that it would not be a muslim. nor american. rather europe.

Interesting topic! I can't think of anyone that quite fits your description of the Antichrist. However, I suspect that the Antichrist would aim to become the US president, as the most powerful world leader. This bunch of US presidential candidates do not have very much charisma, though, do they? Obama has charisma, and seemingly came from nowhere. But it would be unreasonable, I think, to accuse him, or anyone else, of being the Antichrist based solely on popularity and ambition. I'm afraid we won't know the Antichrist 'til it's too late.
