The ultimate antichrist

The ultimate antichrist is, of course, Satan the devil.

He has tried many schemes to destroy Christ and to thwart God’s plan of salvation for mankind. He was the tempter of Eve and Adam and still “deceives the whole world” (Revelation 12:9And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.). He led Herod to try to kill Jesus while He was a baby. He tried to tempt Jesus to sin. He stirred up hostility toward Jesus and finally succeeded in getting Him killed. (God and Christ allowed that because it was a part of God’s plan of redemption for mankind.) And it will be Satan who possesses the Beast and the False Prophet at the end of the age and lures the world’s great armies to fight against Christ (Revelation 13:4And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?; Revelation 16:13-14 [13] And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet.
[14] For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.
).
