@Addie .....the antichrist isnt some dude who is gonna rise.
The antichrist is 666. Its number of MAN.
So .....there is that. Anything not of Christ is antichtist but the rise of antichrist is the rise of secular humanism. It's really that simple.
An alternative is 666 was a mis-translation of "In The Name of Allah".
Ehhhh. I don't know. Allah is just an Arabic word for "God".
Its forms of secular humanism. It only makes sense in light of other scripture. Science is used in this as well and perverted into some sort of antitheist religion.
There are certain people who come as antichrist. And many have, as Christ said. But we cant be looking for for some guy coming and doing magic tricks and for events to occur in places like America that happened in 70ad Jerusalem. This alien thing could certainly apply.(be part of that humanist system that could feel even the elect). We always want to read ourselves and our times into it and the result is we miss so much.
If I could go anywhere on this earth, I'd go to the Mt of Olives. The place God rested when He took His glory from the temple.
