an anti-Christ figure doesn’t have to be The Son of Satan. He only needs to be a deceiver who acknowledges Jesus and then does all he can to deliberately lead the flock astray.
Mohammed is an anti-Christ figure as well. Islam is the only major religion to acknowledge the existence of Jesus while rewriting the history to deny who He is.
We are told that Islam is “of the same religious traditions” of Judeo-Christian faiths. It’s the death cult of a conquoring warlord who hijacked the Bible for his own purposes.
Barack Obama isn’t a muslim either but he has a hard-on for Islamic theocratic rule.
The compromise position is to accept at least one, with these other exceptionally evil folks being, at a minimum, acolytes of the antichrist.
At some depth of understanding of the concept ~ that some people place themselves totally within the authority of Satanic power ~ I think we are all in agreement. Only the names are changed to protect the innocent.
