IN REVELATION 13:4-5, THE ANTICHRIST IS REFERRED TO AS THE BEAST.
I'll be darned. I looked and looked at Rev. 13:5,7......and not once was the word anti-Christ found. In fact the word anti-Christ is not to be found in the entire Book of Revelation. Please point out the Chapter and Verse where you found antichrist mentioned in the Book of Revelations. All I could find is a warning about changing the words in this book.
"I warn everyone who hears the words of prophecy of this book; IF ANYONE ADDS TO THEM, GOD WILL ADD TO HIM THE PLAGUES DESCIRBED IN THIS BOOK; and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away his share in the tree of life and in the holy city, which are described in this book." -- Rev. 22:18-19
Truth: The Anti-Christ is not a person, nor is it a beast.....its an IDEOLOGY that has existed since the first century during the lives and times of the Apostles of Christ.
The word Anti-Christ is used only by one person in the Holy Bible......JOHN. John has been credited with writing the Book of Revelation....and never uses the word in the entire book of Revelation...not once. But he does use it and explains it in unambiguous detail.
John used the term 4 times in his letter/epistle/books 1 John. And....he (John) explains in unambiguous language just what he means via using the term antichrist. John declares that the antichrist doctrine existed in his own time. "Little children, it is the last hour (meaning the last days of mankind with mankind living in the last covenant between God and man....the new testament age of Christ Jesus), and as ye heard that antichrist cometh, EVEN NOW (when? now when he was writing this epistle) have there arisen MANY ANTICHRISTS; (the antichrist in not singular in use....its plural, there is no one single antichrist)……." -- 1 John 2:18
Next John uses the term, "Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? THIS IS THE ANTICHRIST (anyone that denies that Jesus is the Christ....the Messiah of prophecy...the Son of God, God incarnate is an antichrist) even he that denieth the Father and the Son." -- 1 John 2:22
Next use by John? "AND EVERY SPIRIT THAT CONFESSETH NOT JESUS IS NOT OF GOD; AND THIS IS THE SPIRIT OF THE ANTICHRIST, WHEREOF YE HAVE HEARD THAT "it" COMETH (the antichrist is an it not a person, not a beast, but an it, a spirit that lives in the heart of those who do not accept Jesus as the Christ or prophecy)….and now "it" is in the world already." (when was IT in the world....at the time John drafted this epistle) -- 1 John 4:3
John makes it even clearer...JUST WHAT THE ANTICHIRST is...……………. its an ideology that lives in the heart of the disbeliever....not a person that will one day appear, that anti-Christian spirit has existed since the time of the first Christian converts and the foundation of Christianity.
"For many (not one, but MANY) deceivers are forth into the world; even they that confess not that Jesus cometh in the flesh.....this is the deceiver and the antichrist." -- 2 John 1:7
Most Jews and Muslims and SOME supposed Christians (those that promote the ideology that Jesus was not God incarnate but a mere prophet) are antichrists as is anyone that denies that Jesus is the Christ of prophecy and the Son of the Living the God.

Roe v. Wade, 410 U.S. 113 (1973), was a landmark decision of the U.S. Supreme Court in which the Court ruled that the Constitution of the United States protects a pregnant woman's liberty to choose to have an abortion without excessive government restriction. If the domestic taliban known as the "religious right" can't abide by that law of the land, they can pack up and go somewhere else. Don't let the door hit you on the way out.
"When government fears the people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny."
A lie doesn't become the truth, wrong doesn't become right, and evil doesn't become good just because it is accepted by a majority.

Again....show me the chapter and verse where the word antichrist exists. You would not be guilty of attempting to ADD WORDS to this book would you? Even knowing the curse that God has placed on anyone that would do as much? Its a simple thing to show ME and prove me wrong......by presenting the word antichrist to describe a BEAST when the author has explained in detail (John) in other portions of scripture just what the antichrist is and how its has existed since the 1st century. What? Is John lying in other scriptures when he declares there are MANY antichrists found in the world of the 1st century?
If its not JOHN lying...then who is? Who has changed the prophecy found in revelation to suit their man made doctrine? So...according to your logic......Mr. Trump must be over 2000 years old If he is the one and only antichrist spirit to have ever existed. Think about it. You have been indoctrinated to accept a lie as doctrine when you RIGHTLY DIVIDE THE WORD OF TRUTH, that will lead you into ALL TRUTH, truth that is good for instruction and doctrine.
"All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction of righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work." -- 2 Tim. 3:16-17
"Be diligent to present yourself approved to God...…..a worker who need not be ashamed, rightly DIVIDING THE WORD OF TRUTH." 2 Tim. 2:15
If you are dividing the BOOK of TRUTH and making it contradict other portions of scriptures....INSPIRED BY THE SAME GOD. Just who is rightly dividing the word of truth?
FYI: When you "STUDY" the book of revelation (a book of symbolism as declared in its first chapter)…...you know, THE BEAST spoken of in this book of prophecy is the Roman Empire who was killing and persecuting Christians in the first few centuries following the birth of Christianity. The leaders of Rome, may have been antichrists in their world views...but antichrists are not limited to a singular individual's ideology. Anyone can be an antichrist if they reject the Christ as being God incarnate.
