The Antichrist

Evil's ultimate embodiment

The Antichrist is a figure in Christian eschatology—an enemy of Christ who will appear before the end times, deceiving humanity and opposing God before being ultimately defeated.

The concept draws from biblical references to false prophets and adversaries.

In looser usage, antichrist describes anyone seen as embodying profound evil or opposition to Christianity: Some called the dictator the Antichrist.

The term gets applied polemically to political enemies, religious opponents, or cultural villains.
