Origin
The concept of the Antichrist is a figure of immense theological and eschatological significance, found in various religious texts and beliefs, particularly within Christian and Islamic traditions. The Antichrist is often depicted as a malevolent figure who opposes and seeks to replace the role of Christ or the Messiah, heralding a period of chaos and destruction before the end of the world.
The term "Antichrist" is primarily derived from Christian theology and appears in the New Testament of the Bible, particularly in the books of 1 John and 2 John. It is associated with a figure or figures who oppose the teachings and influence of Jesus Christ, working against the divine plan of salvation.
