“The Antichrist” and “The Man of Lawlessness” are two names for the same person who will be everything that is the very opposite of our Lord Jesus Christ, hence Antichrist.

The word “Antichrist” is only found in the Bible in 1 and 2 John and occurs both in singular and plural forms. It represents all that is hostile to God.
