==Description==

==Description==

The '''antichrist''' is a [[Christian]] concept based on the [[exegesis]] of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_Temple Second Temple] (500 BCE–50 CE) Jewish texts that refer to anti-messiahs. The [[legend]] of the Antichrist is only within the [[context]] of Christian belief, where Jesus the [[messiah]], appears in his [[Second coming]] to earth, to face the [[emergence]] of the Antichrist figure. Just as Christ is the savior and the [[ideal]] model for [[humanity]], his opponent in the End of days will be a single figure of [[concentrated]] [[evil]].
 In the [[New Testament]], the term "antichrist" occurs five times in [https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Letters_to_John,_1 1 John] and [https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Letters_to_John,_2 2 John], once in plural form and four times in the singular.

The term "Antichrist" is widely used through popular [[culture]], and most prominently in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Punk_subculture punk subculture]. This trend was spurred by the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sex_Pistols Sex Pistols]' song "[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anarchy_in_the_UK Anarchy in the UK]", in which lead singer [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Lydon Johnny Rotten] proclaimed that he was an Antichrist. After the release of the song, adherents of the punk culture began to use the word as a term to describe someone who is very vulgar, crude, or [[rebellious]]. However, after Johnny Rotten's denouncement of useless [[violence]] in his years with [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_Image_Ltd Public Image Ltd], this trend began to subside with those who had used it for the sheer sake of being "punk". It is now used in the [[fringe]] groups of anarcho-punks and is most commonly used to describe those who [[practice]] [[violent]] and [[sensational]] forms of [[anarchy]].[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antichrist]
