Partial list of people who were declared by "prophecy experts" to be the Antichrist:
Holy Roman Emperor Frederick II - died in 1250.
King Lewis of Bavaria - 14th Century
Peter the Great - 18th Century
King George III of England
Napoleon Bonaparte
Napoleon III
Benito Mussolini
Mikhail Gorbachev
King Juan Carlos of Spain
Henry Kissinger
Pope John Paul II
Basically, the Antichrist can be anybody you want him to be, but so far, all speculations about the identity of his infernal majesty have turned out to be worthless. Meanwhile, we never heard anything about a Russian invasion of Ukraine being a sign of the end, until after it happened, and then the prophecy mongers jumped on it and started making a big deal about it. If it was so obvious that the Bible teaches that Russia invading Ukraine is a sign of the end, why didn't we hear anything about it until this year? The founding of Israel in 1948 and of the European Common Market in 1958 were supposed to be "signs of the end" so why are we all still here?
I believe in the literal, visible return of Christ, but I am not looking for signs of the Rapture, since the Bible teaches that there will be no signs: Matthew 24:36, 42, 44, 25:13, Acts 1:7, etc.
