What Storm said.

Violet.
I find christianity at large to be exceedingly anti-christ.
And also society in many ways.
Of course that has to do with my Own idea of christhood.
Christhood is for ANYONE to realize/REALize.
Most people/individuals are "anti" this realization.
Really don't know why.
My religious faith is more Christ-I-Am, then Christ-I-an.
I see anti-christ all around me.
To me "Jesus" is merely an "I-Con" of Christ-hood.
At best, he embodies/represents/points the way of our own potential Christhood.
At worst, he steals (I-"con's") it from everyone.

I agree UV! Most Christians I've met seem to live life totally opposite of Jesus' example. Especially the ones who are constantly condemning others. There are a few specials ones, but its amazing how often people dismiss their core religious teachings without realising it. I'm not just refering to Christianity.
The who?
And to fourth what Storm said. What is up with the title of your poll? "religious faiths only please"? Seriously, there are other faiths than christianity, so get over your religious bigotry.
Antichrist in Bible 5 times, in four scriptures. It is not in the book of Daniel and not in the book of Revelations.

Doctrine of Anti Christ was in the 1st Century
John did not say there was an antichrist coming, he said you heard.
1John 2:18 Dear children, this is the last hour; and as you have heard that the antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come. This is how we know it is the last hour. 19They went out from us, but they did not really belong to us. For if they had belonged to us, they would have remained with us; but their going showed that none of them belonged to us. (Notice all the plurals, (the church is teaching he)
What is driving the 22,000 doctrines of the religious realm, the spirit of the antichrist.
If you read this book very clearly Christ will rule the world, He is a reigning King now.
1John:2: 22 Who is the liar? It is the man who denies (literally rejects with words) that Jesus is the Christ. Such a man is the antichrist--he denies (literally denies with words) the Father and the Son.
23No one who denies (literally rejects with words) the Son has the (not) Father; whoever acknowledges the Son has the Father also.
24See that what you have heard from the beginning remains in you. If it does, you also will remain in the Son and in the Father. 25And this is what he promised us--even eternal life. (The ageless life)
26I am writing these things to you about those who are trying to lead you astray. (astray or error means wondering, roaming, mental stain, wrong opinion, wrong action, deceit and fraud) all comes out of that one word. Spirit of Christ or Antichrist?
27As for you, the anointing you received from him remains in you, and you do not need anyone to teach you. But as his anointing teaches you about all things and as that anointing is real, not counterfeit--just as it has taught you, remain in him.
28And now, dear children, continue in him, so that when he appears we may be confident and unashamed before him at his coming.
29If you know that he is righteous, you know that everyone who does what is right has been born of him.
1John 4:1 Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets (literally religious imposters) have gone out into the world (Kosmos, orderly arrangement). 2This is how you can recognize the Spirit of God: Every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has (is) come in the flesh is from God,
3but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is the (the word spirit is not in language) spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming and even now is already in the world.
4You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world. 5They (not he) are from the world and therefore speak from the viewpoint of the world, and the world listens to them. 6We are from God, and whoever knows God listens to us; but whoever is not from God does not listen to us. This is how we recognize the SpiritA of truth and the spirit of falsehood.
2 John 7 Many (religious imposters) deceivers, who do not acknowledge Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh, have gone out into the world. Any such person is the (imposter) deceiver and the antichrist. 8(look at your selves) Watch out that you do not lose what you have worked for, but that you may be rewarded fully. 9Anyone who runs ahead and does not continue in the teaching of Christ does not have God; whoever continues in the teaching has both the Father and the Son. 10If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not take him into your house or welcome him. (look at verse 5, doctrine of love)11Anyone who welcomes him shares in his wicked work.

The anti-christ is simply symbolic for Satan himself. Also any of his minions. This shows up in humans as those that deny Christ. There needn't be any grand politico super leader that is evil, that kind of stuff just sells books.
If you deny Christ you are an anti-christ
So if that is the case, anti-christ singular or plural have been around for a long time.
Another reason people want to "see" "The" Anti-Christ coming is it aids in signs and wonders as to validate the bible and its stories. The fact is, the only sign left is for Jesus to return, so those looking for signs are never going to find them...

According to 1 John ...
2:18 Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.
2:22 Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.
4:3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.
And 2 John...
1:7 For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.
So, apparently, anyone who denies that Jesus Christ is God come to Earth in the flesh is an antichrist. Note that the writer seems to think that the 'last times' were at hand at the time that he wrote this.
(BTW, these are the only actual literal references to an antichrist in the entire Bible.)

I don't think archangel is Jewish. Jews don't tend to believe in the anti-christ.

And no, I don't believe the anti-christ is near, or is ever coming.

The word "Christ" means anointing. If you deny God's anointing you are anti christ. Men reject God's anointing and follow religion, creeds, dogmas, systems, religious history, Popes, etc. This is the anti anointing/Christ spirit in religion today.

I am an antichrist.
When was the last time God's spirit revealed anything to you? Who do you follow?
Fair enough, I did not see that Archangel was Jewish, I was thinking of the question in the poll (hence the chrisitanity statement). Not sure why someone of one faith (however related to another faith) would be concerned about the adversary of another faith. I would not think that Archangel would be concerned at all about the Fenris wolf devouring either the Sun or Odin, as none of those prophesies are associated with Yahweh.
