The AntiChrist is Judas Iscariot resurrected by Satan.
Hear me out.
This is how the Bible describes Judas:
While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled (John 17:12).
This is how the Bible described the AntiChrist:
Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.
Both Judas and the AntiChrist are called "THE son of perdition". Not "A son of perdition" or "the SONS of perdition." THE SON OF PERDITION. Logically, they are the same person.
Further evidence includes the requirement for someone to be the AntiChrist: He must be a believable Messiah to the Jewish people, and therefore Jewish and a member of the Tribe of Judah. Judas checks both of these boxes.
Also, Judas was hung and died on a tree. Who better to claim he was the suffering, dying, and resurrecting son than someone who not only meets the ethnic requirement but also died roughly the way the Scriptures prophesied; that is, by dying hung on a tree?
Judas would also provide Satan plausible deniability that Jesus is the true Messiah. Think about it: what lie did Satan spread to discredit the resurrection? That the disciples stole the body. Who better to claim THAT to a generation of thirsty anti-God rebels than an ex-disciple, who empowered by Satan will simply claim HE was the one who stole and destroyed the body of Christ, and therefore that was why the tomb was empty?!
Also, the Antichrist suffered a fatal head wound before his rise during the Tribulation period. Hanging is a fatal head wound, as is falling headfirst onto the ground so hard that your intestines fall out.
The Bible is abundantly clear to me that Satan will resurrect Judas to claim him as the Messiah.
Okay, you might ask, but how will Satan resurrect Judas? Simple: God will give him permission to do so to test the world during the Tribulation.
When Judas died, the Bible says he went to "his own place" (Acts 1:25), and not the traditional heaven or hell. Instead, he went to the temporary holding place of certain demons, known as Tartarus. It is from there that Satan will be permitted to resurrect Judas.
Judas will be motivated by greed, as he was in life, as well as revenge against God for his torment in Tartarus. Satan will satisfy his appetite by literally giving him the world.
