what is the temple of God
Believers are the temple of God
1 Corinthians 3:16-17
Do you not know that you are a temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? If any man destroys the temple of God, God will destroy him, for the temple of God is holy, and that is what you are.
Ephesians 2:19-22
So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints, and are of God's household, having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus Himself being the cornerstone, in whom the whole building, being fitted together, is growing into a holy temple in the Lord, read more.
in whom you also are being built together into a dwelling of God in the Spirit.
1 Peter 2:5
you also, as living stones, are being built up as a spiritual house for a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.
Who is the AntiChrist
1 John 2
18 Little children, it is the last hour; and as you have heard that the[d] Antichrist is coming, even now
many antichrists have come, by which we know that it is the last hour.

They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us; but they went out that they might be made manifest, that none of them were of us.
the AntiChrist will appear within the Christian/Believers community.
Papal Rome where originally Christian but they went out and merge with Gnosticism and pagan religions forming the papal roman catholic system
2 John
Beware of Antichrist Deceivers
7 For many deceivers have gone out into the world who do not confess Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist. 8
Look to yourselves, that [c]we do not lose those things we worked for, but that we may receive a full reward.
look to yourselves means the antichrist/beats system will emerge out of the Christian communities
the Official Title of Popes is The Vicar Of Christ
Vicar means in place of, substitute, etc
the doctrine of Papal supremacy, the 1997 Catechism of the Catholic Church teaches that “the Roman Pontiff, by reason of his office as Vicar of Christ, and as pastor of the entire Church has full, supreme, and universal power over the whole Church, a power which he can always exercise unhindered”
