In the Bible the Beast is described as attempting to take over the world, only to be shortly cut off and then thrown into Hell.

But even the Bible says that the "demons tremble". And it also says that Satan knows the Bible.

This just doesn't make any sense. Why would the Beast even desire to do any of this stuff if he knows the outcome?

Maybe there is not some guy who is suppose to mark you on your right hand, and tell you to worship. Maybe the book of revelation is al symbolic.

He is illiterate.

Well, the answer I always had was that knowing that he is gonna lose he wants to take as many as he can with him. Kinda like a last hurah!

Of course there aint no evidence that he actually exists - so who cares.

The beasts in Revelations Chapter 13 represent empires, not individuals. You can look at Daniel Chapter 7 for reference. It seems that there is no mention of the term, Antichrist in Revelations.

The Anti-Christ should know the bible well, if it is to even deceive believers. The copy read is a misprint, in the Anti-Christ's mind. Typical narcissism - 'it applies to others, not to me.' If you are a believer, this is a minor problem - likely there will be a great persecution and Christians will undergo torment that will make ISIS seem a visit to grandma's house. Your faith should be proven to be iron-clad.

Whether antichrist has read the bible is pure speculation as we have little proof he is of
reading age or born yet? Many believe his homie satan is a bible scholar so hmm
lets ask the little shebba when he does the James Brown shuffle around the 3.5 year
of Tribulation. Aleay remember all unbelievers are the pleural form of antichrists
among us as we await THE main man.

Well antichrist being a spirit. And that spirit being a person I would say probably not. This way he could keep hold of his host. If the host were to read the bible. The spirit would presumably take the words away from the host memory. As with the parable of the sower and the seeds.
8 “Listen then to what the parable of the sower means: 19 When anyone hears the message about the kingdom and does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what was sown in their heart. This is the seed sown along the path. 20 The seed falling on rocky ground refers to someone who hears the word and at once receives it with joy. 21 But since they have no root, they last only a short time. When trouble or persecution comes because of the word, they quickly fall away. 22 The seed falling among the thorns refers to someone who hears the word, but the worries of this life and the deceitfulness of wealth choke the word, making it unfruitful. 23 But the seed falling on good soil refers to someone who hears the word and understands it. This is the one who produces a crop, yielding a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown.”

The question is, would the anti-Christ KNOW he is the anti-Christ?

Why would he think that God is correct?
