This is the verse that sticks out when I consider post-Westminster positions on the Antichrist.

It seems clear that the Man of Sin sits in the (apostate) church. That rules out a purely secular or non-Christian candidate.

However, I am not sure that there is only one Antichrist. Perhaps the Office of the Pope is the archetypical Antichrist.

In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.
