there are many antichrists - plural - and nobody will know who the titular antichrist is until everyone knows. it could be anyone of any race, background, job, power, party. protestants don't read their bibles and just make up whatever they want. only the last roughly third of revelation is unquestionably speaking about the future, whereas the first 2/3 were already fulfilled. nobody - nobody, not believers, not unbelievers, not good, not evil - is going to be prepared for the end of days because it's not possible to prepare for it.
