Who/What do you believe the antichrist is?

Nothing. He has no power except what God allows. He has an ultimately horrible end that is already a given. He will never be an emperor, a ruler, a force to be feared, no matter what he does to Christians. He is nothing, him and his minions, him and his ridiculous plans for domination of this puny dirtball hanging in space. He is to be laughed at. But not quite yet. Wait for it. Patiently.
