The Land of the Enemy

Before you start the flame war, just know that the Bible defines "antichrist" as anyone who denouces the Son and/or the Father. The title was merely to get your attention (people seem to be attracted to the word 'Jew'), because atheists and Muslims and anyone who does not believe in Jesus as the Christ.
Here's a few scriptures straight from the Bible, if you don't believe me then go look it up yourself.
1 John 2:18-23:
"18Dear children, the last hour is here. You have heard that the Antichrist is coming, and already many such antichrists have appeared. From this we know that the end of the world has come. 19These people left our churches because they never really belonged with us; otherwise they would have stayed with us. When they left us, it proved that they do not belong with us. 20But you are not like that, for the Holy Spirit has come upon you,[4] and all of you know the truth. 21So I am writing to you not because you don't know the truth but because you know the difference between truth and falsehood. 22And who is the great liar? The one who says that Jesus is not the Christ. Such people are antichrists, for they have denied the Father and the Son. 23Anyone who denies the Son doesn't have the Father either. But anyone who confesses the Son has the Father also."
and 2 John 7-11:
"7Many deceivers have gone out into the world. They do not believe that Jesus Christ came to earth in a real body. Such a person is a deceiver and an antichrist. 8Watch out, so that you do not lose the prize for which we[3] have been working so hard. Be diligent so that you will receive your full reward. 9For if you wander beyond the teaching of Christ, you will not have fellowship with God. But if you continue in the teaching of Christ, you will have fellowship with both the Father and the Son.
10If someone comes to your meeting and does not teach the truth about Christ, don't invite him into your house or encourage him in any way. 11Anyone who encourages him becomes a partner in his evil work."
This goes to prove that there is no, nor ever will be any one great "Antichrist: Herald of the Apocolypse," but all people who denouce Jesus as the Christ are anticrists.
