Bro. Foster might point out, though brother, that never is "antichrist"
used with a Capital "A" implication of THE Antichrist.  Only John's
epistles mention antichrist at all.  And it has been assumed, maybe correctly
so, that The "Son of Perdition" will be "The Antichrist".  I know there
will be a literal "Son of Perdition" - Paul said so.  But to call him
"The Antichrist" is not biblical, though he would be "AN" antichrist -
and possibly the worst.
