Who is Antichrist?The word 'antichrist' combines two roots: anti + Khristos. Anti can mean not only 'against' and 'opposite of', but also 'in place of'. Khristos, translated 'Christ', is Greek for the Hebrew 'Messiah'. Both Christ and Messiah literally mean 'Anointed
One', and refer to Jesus of Nazareth in Christian and Islamic theology. In Christianity, antichrist is a term found solely in the First Epistle of John and Second Epistle of John, and often lowercased in Bible translations. In Islamic eschatology, Masih ad-Dajjal is an anti-messiah figure (similar to the Christian concept of a last antichrist), who will appear to deceive humanity before the second coming of Isa, as Jesus is known by Muslims. The concept of an antichrist is absent in traditional Judaism; however, in the medieval diaspora, his inevitable destruction is narrated as the symbol of ultimate victory of good over evil in the Messianic age.
