Is the antichrist going to know he is the antichrist?

The Bible does not say.

Yes, he will know! He will not come to prominence until during the tribulation as will the false prophet. It is possible that he is already in the world but he will not be identified or given power by satan until after the commencement of the tribulation. He will certainly know he is the one as he will generate a huge following. We don't have much Information on him which doesn't really matter all that much to Christians as we will not be here to go through the tribulation however the unsaved will.

Here's a better question:

If the antichrist never knew he was the antichrist, was he ever the antichrist at all?

Yes

I don't think the Bible mentioned that. Just gave characteristics, which described a good 35% of the planet.

Yes, of course.

It is a 'spirit' within oneself,not singular as in CHRIST. ANTI- Christ are ALL those that oppose the Son of GOD

I imagine Satan's top dog to know the full situation.

(& knowing is half the battle :D)

Yes but he will come saying he IS christ. True christians will know.

I hope and pray...errr...ok, hope and hope that it's me!
