The "beast" is found in the book of Revelation. The timing of the entire contents of this book is clearly indicated in both the first and last chapters!
NOTE:
John was shown those things which were in his day to shortly take place (1:1).
John was also told that the time for fulfillment was near (1:3).
SEE ALSO REVELATION 22:6, 10!!!
The beast was someone of that first-century, pre-A.D. 70 time frame--most likely NERO!
i haven't voted, only because i have had this discussion many times before.

I am not sure if he is or not but I am sure he is not 2000 years old since Antichrist was already in the world then.
I agree the Anti Christ has already been here.
But if anti-christ is a spirit as quoted john saying, then the anti-christ is in those churches that believe in hurting people, starting wars and taking over american politics and gov. such as sarah palin's church and sall kern.. they are called end timers-- they think they can force such events to happen via manipulation and cause Armageddon sooner........this is why many called Bush the anti-christ with his new world order. Nothing more but fascist that are against the very teaching of Jesus Christ. They hide their agenda by turning the base on gays and with single issues of abortion to keep them riled up and focused in support of them on that while they usher in their more underhanded agendas, they believe in killing people who do not agree with them.

ALEC was founded in 1973 by Paul Weyrich, who in 1979 co-founded the Moral Majority with Jerry Falwell. It was Weyrich, who coined the term Moral Majority. In 1997 he led a Christian boycott of the United States Armed Forces demanding that Wiccans were unfit for military service and Christians should not be forced to serve with them. Theocracy Watch and the Anti-Defamation League both claim that Weyrich is heavily involved with the Christian Dominionism movement in America; though at times Weyrich has attempted to deny any affiliation. Dominionists believe that the U.S. government should become a Christian theocracy with the Constitution replaced by Old Testament biblical code and all citizens would have to convert or be placed into re-education camps. Conversion by torture is a method they advocate. The sect believes in killing non-believers and homosexuals. Senator Jim Inhofe and Steve and Sally Kern are followers of Dominionism, which teaches homosexuality cannot be tolerated. Both Inhofe and Kern are well-known in Oklahoma for their efforts in battling gay rights.
for the hard right, anybody that does not agree with them is the anti christ.
as far as they are concerned george and dick cheney are the voice of god.
Where according to the Bible, Campbell34? Daniel 11? Read the context, Campbell34!!! Where is there a mention of "Antichrist?" You are reading that into the text and making unjustified assumptions.
Preterist
There is no assumptions here, nothing like this has ever taken place in the past, so it would have to occur in the future. Daniel 11:37 Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers, (nor the desire of woman), nor regard any god: for his shall magnify himself above all.
And if you read Daniel 37:40 It tells you out right that the King of the south will push at him at the (TIME OF THE END). To suggest anything else other that what is stated would require making unjustified assumptions.
The Bible clearly tells you this will happen at the (TIME OF THE END).
Now you tell me, if this is not the Anti-Christ, who do you say we are
talking about?
