Catholics don't forbid their priests to marry?
They don't. It is usually part of the vows of being a priest, however marriage is not forbidden

Will the Anti-Christ be a gay Frenchman?
Will the Anti-Christ like Donuts?
:doh:
How about the verses that sincerely matter?!?
1 John 2:22 Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son. 23 Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also.
Absolute denial of the Messiah, exactly like Tambora and Glorydaz are correctly pointing out.
1 John 1:7 For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.
1 Timothy 3:16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.
A denial that Jesus is God and God in the flesh is a poor choice of theological understanding... to minimize the matter.
Daniel 11:36 And the king shall do according to his will (He will attempt to thwart the Lord, God Jesus Christ);
and he shall exalt himself, and magnify himself above every god, (He will lay all faith in any but himself to waste as much as possible, but especially... ESPECIALLY... He will Hate THEE Lord, God Jesus Christ that Died, Rose and Ascended for humanities redemption...)
and shall speak marvellous things against the God of gods, (He won't be a fan of our Lord, God Jesus Christ Who is our only TRUE God and Savior). and shall prosper till the indignation be accomplished: for that that is determined shall be done.
37 Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers, nor the desire of women, nor regard any god: for he shall magnify himself above all.
Tambora and Glorydaz nailed this biblically... and in Spades!
38 But in his estate shall he honour the God of forces:
(Oh... look... a "God" of "Forces"... aka War... toughy... I wonder if there are any religions that have a god of WAR?... hmmmm... what is the Anti Christ's favorite religion?)
and a god whom his fathers knew not shall he honour with gold, and silver, and with precious stones, and pleasant things.
(Look up the Jizzia and how Christians, Jews and peaceful people are being slain and taxed as you read this, while others are being paid by the force... who holds the worlds greatest wealth. Hint... it starts with Saudi and ends with Arab Expansion and Radical, Blasphemous destruction of any remnant of those who are of Love and/or the God of Abraham... and no... not the fake one that is at the heart of more chaos then you can fathom.). In other words... the mechanism of the "Beast" has been building for thousands of years... I.E. Same tribes of peoples that Warred against Israel from the get go, but now conveniently united under a "Religion of... Cough... Cough... B.s. ... Peace")
39 Thus shall he do in the most strong holds with a strange god, whom he shall acknowledge and increase with glory: and he shall cause them to rule over many, and shall divide the land for gain. ... (Hmmm... Strange god that grants land to people that support his campaign and attempt to rule the globe) in the name of this strange god...
40 And at the time of the end shall the king of the south push at him: and the king of the north shall come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots, and with horsemen, and with many ships; and he shall enter into the countries, and shall overflow and pass over.
(Looky there... gee, I wonder if the Bible explains the actual geography of The Assyrian?... North... Hmmmmmm.... :think
41 He shall enter also into the glorious land, and many countries shall be overthrown: but these shall escape out of his hand, even Edom, and Moab, and the chief of the children of Ammon.
(If you don't know what the GLORIOUS LAND is... well... ask someone... but not me... I'll answer sarcastically)
42 He shall stretch forth his hand also upon the countries: and the land of Egypt shall not escape.
43 But he shall have power over the treasures of gold and of silver, and over all the precious things of Egypt: and the Libyans and the Ethiopians shall be at his steps.
(Wow... How people miss the specificity of this... blows my mind!)
44 But tidings out of the east and out of the north shall trouble him: therefore he shall go forth with great fury to destroy, and utterly to make away many.
45 And he shall plant the tabernacles of his palace between the seas in the glorious holy mountain; yet he shall come to his end, and none shall help him.
Hmmmmmm.....
Ezekiel 28:9 Will you still say, ‘I am a god,’ in the presence of those who kill you, though you are but a man, and no god, in the hands of those who slay you?
Any how... we don't know who he is yet... but there sure does seem to be a growing climate that nurtures his arrival... could be 1000 more years or tomorrow... who knows....
Depending on God's provision and peace is the way to go. He'll fill His people in when the time is right. He always does.
Like I said originally, the NT concern with AC has to do with that generation. It's the person who leads the 'rebellion that desolates' of Dan 8:13 which ruins Israel (ch 9:26 etc) even though Messiah comes and accomplishes what he was supposed to. This is why Christ warns about him in that generation and about his organizing both out in the desert and in the inner rooms of the temple--that's where false/anti-Messiahs organized their followings in that generation.
D'ism knows almost nothing of this because it is a 'sin' to know the history of the destruction of Israel in 66AD.
2nd, there is a little rebellion/deception that distresses all believers worldwide in Rev 20 at the end of the long reign of Christ. God permits it a little while. I don't see AC there, but that doesn't help matters.
In light of the fact that the only Daniel passage Christ and the apostles quoted clearly was 9's about the horrible/desolating person, and that he would affect that generation after him, I don't know what to make of the later Daniel vision, and I do know that there are reasons to think it has to do with IT events. With 2500 quotes and allusions of the OT, it is not wise to make so much out of those which the NT does NOT quote.

This is my personal speculation but I think there will be a revived Roman empire, with a union among the European nations. I think they will reject Christianity, Islam, Atheism, and go back to paganism- Greek & Roman. This antichrist will do what many have done and eventually declare himself as a deity.

I think what you wrote was great, but it side stepped my question.
