Well what if the antichrist isn't even human? What if the antichrist is the first fully functional artifical intelligence program? If science was able to create an AI program that was always cool, level headed, and posessing all the necessary qualities to lead, would people be willing to put their trust in such a program? I can easily imagine a world that is run by a central computer (or neural net of computers) that make all the important decisions for humanity. To such a machine, wouldn't a human be not a body with a soul, but a number? A purely logical computer would probably also be able to convince people that such things as superstitions and religions are not needed.
Besides, so many other things in the bible are only what the people at the time of the bible's writing interpreted whatever they saw as in terms of their life? How would someone from ~400 AD know about an intelligent robot or be able to describe it in terms that are understandable to everyone?
