antichrists
Opposers of Christ
Antichrists is the plural of antichrist—those who oppose or falsely claim to be Christ.
In Christian theology, the Antichrist is a specific figure prophesied to appear before the end times, but the plural refers to any who embody opposition to Christ or his teachings: The epistle warns that many antichrists have already come into the world.
The term extends loosely to anyone seen as profoundly evil or opposed to sacred values.
