"Now, brethren, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him, we ask you, not to be soon shaken in mind or troubled, either by spirit or by word or by letter, as if from us, as though the day of Christ had come. Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition, . ." 2 Thess 2
Yes.
I recall that once it was not uncommon to hear the opinion that the Antichrist being homosexual on account of Daniel 11:37.
The view seemed to fall out of favor about the time homosexuals managed to convince people that they just wanted to be left alone and they weren’t interested in changing marriage or making everyone accept their choices ... yeah, like anyone should have ever believed THAT line!
Anyhoo, nowadays I’m leaning towards an explanation of the MotB that what John originally wrote down wasn’t Greek letters but something in a script he didn’t know that looked like Greek letters. It seems that, when combined with the image of the crossed swords the Arabic script for “in Allah’s name” looks just like what appears in older texts.
Discounting the falling away proper, Islam is certainly the preeminent expression of the spirit of Antichrist that we are seeing today.
What’s interesting to me is that since the idea of abrogation is built into Islam when their new great leader so many seem to be expecting appears he would have authority to give a “new revelation” and could politically reform homosexuality to help gain power from the Romans 1:18-32 reprobates in the West who would be unlikely to go along unless they could bring their poofters with them.
