PINPOINTING THE ANTICHRIST

People always wonder what the Antichrist will be like (second only to "WHO will be the Antichrist?"). Besides being charismatic, intelligent, charming, politically adept and connected, his  sphere of influence, and how he came to be, incorporates several characteristics as well.

So here is a site that features 29 characteristics of the Antichrist and his demonic dynasty. It's quite a long list, and for any one person to fulfill all of these characteristics is of course no mean feat. But that's what will make him so extraordinary, and so supernaturally adept at being able to fix so many of the world's problems, and cause so many to be deceived.

While personally, I tend to believe that the Antichrist himself will not be a Pope, I am 99.9% sure he will be affiliated with the Roman Catholic Church, either by way of the Pope actually being the False Prophet, or by some other affiliation with the RCC (e.g., Islam aligning itself with the RCC).

I tend to be in the camp that believes the Antichrist will either be a Muslim or closely tied to Islam, because Muslims, as members of the second largest religious faith in the world, simply will not follow someone of another faith as their "mahdi" or "messiah."

However, this website makes an extremely strong case for the RCC being a major player when the Antichrist comes to be:
