Suppresses or punishes those who refuse allegiance (Daniel 7:21, 25; Revelation 13:7)
Worship is enforced socially and economically (Revelation 13:15–17)
A fearful leader that confirms his covenants and one week later breaks them (Daniel 9:27)

Works “with all power and false signs and wonders”
his works are real-seeming but deceptive, not redemptive (2 Thessalonians 2:9; Revelation 13:13–14)
Characterized by arrogance, blasphemy, and contempt for truth (2 Thessalonians 2:3, 7; Daniel 7:25)

Just ticking that last box of the biblical description of the Antichrist.

Exalts himself above God and worship, shows disdain for true piety. Seeks divine status or authority (2 Thessalonians 2:3–4)
Leads many astray, even believers (Matthew 24:5, 24; 2 Thessalonians 2:9–11)

The strongest argument against the legitimacy of Christianity is the illegitimacy of the most visible Christians.
