I recently posited the idea that the Anti-Christ might be a clone, a designed super-human. Such would indeed be a beast, not created by the gift of God in conception and might even be incubated to "delivery" lacking the love of a mother. Serial Number 666? Might the stem cells be synthetic?
It would be absolutely appropriate for AC to be a man-made creation in his own image and by the folly of his own hand, don't you think?
I suppose that might be on the order of a virgin birth. The AC would try to duplicate the birth of Christ.
Finally, an answer that makes sense in modern times. Index for later reading.
