The Antichrist has been revealed for 500+ years, ever since ALL the Protestant Reformers understood Bible Prophecy correctly and pointed out, that the Papacy was and is the Antichrist, which WAS a BIG part of the Protestant Reformation.
Do you not believe history or Bible Prophecy?
Daniel 12:11 states:
"And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that makes desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days." (Daniel 12:11, KJV)
This is referring to the
end of the daily sacrifice that occurred with the
death of Jesus Christ on the cross. The term "
daily sacrifice" and relates to the
sacrificial system in the Old Testament, which was fulfilled in Christ's death.

And they ask the question, "In view of the foregoing Reformation interpretations identifying Papacy as the Antichrist and Man of Sin, why do so many Evangelical Protestants today believe the Man of Sin and Antichrist are future individuals?"
Reformation Views
We see the Protestant churches turn from what they held and purpose and slowly drift back to the grasp of the Papal Power, the AntiChrist entity which fulfills what prophecy gives us.
