Antichrist:

An antichrist is simply one who is against Christ.  As such, there are and will be many antichrists.

The word antichrist only occurs four times in the Bible, all in John's writings: 1 John 2:18, 1 John 2:22, 1 John 4:3, and 2 John 1:7. 

Interestingly, it does not appear in the book of Revelation, though the phrase, "the beast" is used often (as well as in Daniel's prophecy: Daniel 7:11 & 19).  Many consider "the beast" to be an antichrist or the Antichrist.  The idea of an ultimate Antichrist is perpetuated in pop culture and many movies.
