Beware of the scribes, which desire to walk in long robes, and love greetings in the markets, and the highest seats in the synagogues, and the chief rooms at feasts;

Luke 20:46
I personally know many Christians who could care less about what the Old Testament says.
These same people are more than happy to accept Roman holidays as being the truth of God.
Hebrews 5:12;
1 Corinthians 3:2;
You ask that question?Just what is Roman and untrue about Christmas and Easter?
my fixation is on what do the Scriptures say
Yep. It amazes me how anyone could claim otherwise after taking these scriptures into account. 1 John 2:18 and 2 Thessalonians 2:3-4 clearly speak of a man of sin, or anti christ as a singular specific man. Yes, their have been many with the spirit of anti christ. But, this speaks of a single specific, man of sin.Little children, it is the last hour; and as you have heard that the Antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come, by which we know that it is the last hour. 1 John 2:18
and every spirit that does not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God. And this is the spirit of the Antichrist, which you have heard was coming, and is now already in the world. 1 John 4:3
Both of these scriptures put the antichrist as coming [future].
Paul teaches a figure who will go to the Temple of God, as Messiah, and deceive many.
Now, brethren, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him, we ask you, 2 not to be soon shaken in mind or troubled, either by spirit or by word or by letter, as if from us, as though the day of Christ had come. 3 Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition, 4 who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God. 2 Thessalonians 2:1-4
Man of sin who is revealed by going to the temple, and exalts himself as God in the temple...
- This man of sin, or lawless one will be destroyed personally by Jesus Christ, by the brightness of His coming.
And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the breath of His mouth and destroy with the brightness of His coming. 2 Thessalonians 2:8
This man of sin, lawless one, son of perdition, false messiah, which is another way of saying "antichrist" will be alive on earth when Jesus Christ returns.
That certainly makes him a "Future antichrist", as John says... as you have heard that the Antichrist is coming.

1Jn 2:18 Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.
Odd how some one who most often uses JKV changes to a version that sorta supports their dogma..
Racking my brain to figure out how the verse below is future.
1Jn 4:3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.
Like telling your kid i bought you a car and it is even now already is it in the driveway...
I John 2:18 Nasb
18Children, it is the last hour; and just as
-------------------(physical singular future)-------
you heard that antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have appeared; from this we know that it is the last hour.
Very specific, a physical single anti christ is coming.
1 John 4:3 Nasb
3and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God; this is the spirit of the antichrist, of which you have heard that it is coming, and now it is already in the world. of which you have heard that it is coming, and now it is already in the world.
Why would this have to be future? This could be anytime after the cross, up until our time, even into the future. There will be a man of sin (singular physical human), to come.
Maybe it will be a woman.I am amased at how many Christians are hopefully looking to some guy to be the antichrist..
