  List of fictional Antichrists - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Antichrists have been an idea explored often in fiction, and has even developed its own sort of fictional mythology.
For example, the Book of Revelation does not necessarily say the Antichrist will be the son of Satan; but the idea was made popular in the movie The Omen, with the evil, childish Damien who grows up with the destiny to rule and destroy the world.

 Antichrist - Encyclopedia Glossary Meaning Explanation Antichrist   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
The Antichrist is variously understood to be a consummately evil system of government or leader, a false religion or religious leader that sets up false worship in place of the worship of Christ, the incarnation of Satan, a son of Satan, or a human being under the liege of Satan.
This portrait of the Antichrist is reminiscent of the acts of Antiochus Epiphanes, who around 170 BC commanded Jews to sacrifice pigs on the altar, four times a year on the Shabbat, in tribute to him as the supreme god of the Seleucids.
Bellarmine gives in full the theory set forth by the Greek and Latin Fathers, of a personal Antichrist to come just before the end of the world and to be accepted by the Jews and enthroned in the temple at Jerusalem—thus endeavoring to dispose of the Protestant exposition which saw Antichrist in the pope.

 Antichrist - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Antichrist, by Lucas Cranach the Elder - 1521.
In other views, the role is far less dramatic - the Antichrist is simply understood to be a group of individuals as well as organizations, who, for their history of trying to deceive and stifle the faithful, are finally destroyed for all time by God on the day of Armageddon.
Candidates for the Antichrist have been men in virtually all positions of public influence, the most frequent modern candidates: Charles Prince of Wales[1], Napoleon Bonaparte, Bill Gates, Adolf Hitler, Joseph Stalin, John Lennon, Nelson Mandela, various Popes, the European Union and recent Presidents of the United States.

 The Apostles and the Written Word
After the apostolic times, God knew these antichrists would question the authority of certain of the writings that did not agree with their ideas, leading to the need to clarify which books were inspired.
Undoubtedly, there were many other lists earlier than that of 170, because the canon would have been fairly well-defined soon after the apostolic age, and for certain by the end of the second century.
It is believed this is "an authoritative list of the writings which are to be 'received' in the Catholic [general] church and to be read in public."[24] Some have argued that the names of these missing books were lost from the list because of a break in the manuscript.

 antichrist
Antichrists sincerely regard themselves to be genuine followers of Christ, but in reality they are empowered by the spirit of Satan, and they are opposing the work of God.
For example, the Antichrist is thought be a great peacemaker that will evidently be trusted by the Jews (as well as the other nations) as they seek to negotiate a settlement with their Islamic territorial rivals concerning the final status of Jerusalem.
In short, the Antichrist is a modern day Pharaoh — an Egyptian — and because the United Nations is clearly the world government that has been prophesied to come to power in the last days, we look to the leadership of the UN for a Secretary-General that fits all of these criteria.

 The Omen - All About All   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Damien's family is unaware that he is actually the offspring of Satan and destined to become the Antichrist.
The Omen was memorable for its chillingly effective use of symbolism, such as the birthmark of the number 666 on Damien's scalp, the effective uses of crucifixes and statuary for foreshadowing, and the wallpapering of a room with pages from a Bible to ward off evil spirits.
Its premise was that Damien Thorn's one-night stand with a journalist resulted in an act of sodomy, and thence the (rectal) "birth" of another diabolical entity called "the abomination" (presumably after the "abomination of desolation" from the book of Daniel).

 Who or What is the Antichrist?
(Note however, that although the Biblical use of the term "antichrist" itself is very limited, the notion of (and pervasive spirit of) the "antichrist" is dealt with frequently and at length in the Bible.
Children, it is the last hour; and as you have heard that antichrist is coming, so now many antichrists have come; therefore we know that it is the last hour.
Thus, we see that, although the Biblical antichrist is not accurately represented by the dark and frightening character popularized by current (and historical) fiction, he is, nevertheless, alive and well, and is certainly an infuence to be reckoned with.

They have come to recognize Nicolae Carpathia to be the Antichrist prophesied in the Bible, and to them it comes as no great revelation that this man, who presented himself as a charming and benevolent leader, has been unmasked as a ruthless and cruel tyrant, manipulating people and events to serve his own ends.
In Left Behind you know that Nicolae is the Antichrist right from the beginning (though the characters seem a little thick-headed in not being able to see what's so obvious to the reader) and there's no way in the world I would ever follow ol' Nick.
In essence, Nicolae is a fictional portrayal of a dispensationalistic interpretation of Revelation Chapter 6.

Tim LaHaye, who conceived and outlines the books (Jenkins writes them), is a longtime evangelical leader and one of the most prominent advocates of this convoluted, relatively new theological opinion.
If the Antichrist is just that, why don’t either Rayford (eventually Carpathia’s pilot) or Buck (his media honcho for a while)— just kill him during any one of the hundreds of hours they spend with the guy?
What presents itself as an exciting, faith-based adventure through the Last Days is nothing more than a fire and brimstone sermon concealed under a flat, deeply illogical fiction, designed to move readers to accept a particularly bizarre fundamentalist Protestant theological viewpoint through that lowest of techniques: fear.

Now Antichrist [this author (William Henry Burr)] denies in the first place that there ever was any begotten Son of God, and in the second place that there is any proof of the existence of the person called Christ; therefore, Antichrist accepts the epithet even as John intended to apply it.

Surely when the Antichrist has a new temple built in Jerusalem, the subject calls for some description of what it looks like, probably some tacky, grandiose, contemporary architecture in contrast to the majesty of Solomon’s original temple.

 phatmass phorum > Question About "rapture"   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
As for the Rapture, the meaning of 1 Thes 4:15-17 is that at the return of Christ (v.15) and the General Resurrection of the Dead (v.16), those who survive the persecution of the Antichrist will have no advantage in being resurrected over those who died before His Coming [CCC 1001].
Third on the list is premillennialism, currently the most popular among Fundamentalists and Evangelicals (though a century ago amillennialism was).
There have been different preachers and writers who have use the concept of the rapture (post-trib) but it's actually debatable who the first one is. It was used at different time in the 1800's and in the 20th century largely in fictional stories.

It is easy to make lists, but hard to find a single example sometimes.
Similarly, both Judith and Tobit have a number of historical and geographical errors, not because they're presenting bad history and erroneous geography, but because they're first-rate pious stories that don't pretend to be remotely interested with teaching history or geography, any more than the Resurrection narratives in the Gospels are interested in astronomy.
Although, therefore, the canonicity of the Epistle of St. James was questioned by a few during the first centuries, there are to be found from the very earliest ages, in different parts of the Church, numerous testimonies in favour of its canonicity.
