Working in the early church
2 Thessalonians 2:7
(7) For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.
1 John 4:3
(3) And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.

Sits in the church
2 Thessalonians 2:4
(4) Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.
1 Corinthians 3:16
(16) Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?

Makes war with the saints
Daniel 7:21
(21) I beheld, and the same horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them;
Revelation 13:7
(7) And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.

Changes God's Law
Daniel 7:25
(25) And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.
Daniel 8:12
(12) And an host was given him against the daily by reason of transgression, and it cast down the truth to the ground; and it practised, and prospered.

Receives worship
Revelation 13:4
(4) And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?
Revelation 13:8
(8) And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
Revelation 13:12
(12) And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.

The Bible in referring to the antichrist says this:-
Daniel 7:25
(25) And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.

This is referring to God's Law not man's Law which is always changing, he would think to change God's Law, so which of the 10 commandments has time mentioned?

Sounds like the old nature in every man, before he becomes
born again.

Judaism established after the Gospel and Christianity by the pharisees is the first collectible antichrist and counterfeit for christians.

They adopted the babylon kabbalah, hiram abiff, solomon..

Therefor all the wars and sorry the ignorance and advocating of the christians?
Why?
Cause earthly guts and safety are more important to them..

This is interesting.

Not sour where to start so I think I will start here.

I will assume you think as I do, that the Antichrist is a man/devil in the flesh.

You think he will come from the Christian faith I am assuming?

I always thought he would come from the Jewish faith as they are still waiting for the messiah.

John5:43 I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive.

And so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, and the temple being a literal temple, the jewish temple.

The antichrist is someone in charge of a church/state power.

You must mean the pope I think, Yes?
When you read the description in Daniel & Revelation the Papacy fits the description and what happened during the dark ages the 1260 years of Papal persecution will be repeated except on a worldwide scale and it is the 2nd beast of Revelation 13 that will give them power again.

Read Revelation 13 the 2nd beast it arises after the 1st beast receives a deadly wound after the 42 months.
Revelation 13:11-12
(11) And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.
(12) And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.

Only the time prophecy won't be repeated. The 1260 days was the great tribulation in length, while in the end time tribulation will be for intensity.

I disagree. Although a "church" basically ruled Rome and the world for over 1000 years under the guise of the pope.

I think in the end, although this same church may help give power to the man of sin at the start of his ministry of "peace" because she wields such power in the world, He is going to have to destroy her before he makes his "claim of being the "messiah" and forces the world to worship him. Because this church thinks she is the bride and would never worship him, and this would be a threat to his power.
