NO! There are many prophecies that need to be fulfilled along with the revealing of the Antichrist, and when he is revealed we will know for certain who it is. The mystery of lawlessness is already at work which is the power and authority of the enemy. It may be at work in DJT, not likely though. If the enemy was at work directly in anyone, then they would have widespread acceptance from the world. The world loves its own and so the Antichrist will have the support of most of the world. We will surely know the Antichrist when he executes or confirms an agreement between Israel and the countries which have attacked it and lost (Gog, Magog, … Ezekiel 38). It is believed that this agreement comes after God defends Israel from an attack. God defends Israel in a way that cannot be understood in any other way than that it was God defending His own people. Some believe that this will happen during the tribulation. Some believe that this is the opening that the Antichrist uses to get the agreement between Israel and its enemies. It will take something of enourmous concequences for the Arab nations to agree to allow Israel to build a third temple on the temple mount, in place of or next to the Dome of the Rock.

Some believe that the rapture will happen before or just after this war but before the Antichrist is revealed and the Tribulation starts. The belief in the pre-tribulation rapture is based in 2 Thessalonians 2:7 among others. This verse states that the one who restrains will restrain until He is taken out of the way. This can only refer to the Holy Spirit as there is no person or created being able to restrain all evil except the Holy Spirit. When the Holy Spirit is taken out of the way, it will be hell on earth. The Christians who have been promised that He (God) will never leave them nor forsake them must be absent. If they are here on earth then the Holy Spirit cannot be taken out of the way as He must stay with them. Just the presence of Christians here on earth will be a restraining force and it is implied that all restraint will be gone from the forces of evil.

Another verse is like it in that the “falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition (2 Thessalonians 2:3).” The falling away can be contested, but the revealing of the man of sin will be easily identified by the signing or confirming of the treaty between Israel and her enemies for 7 years (Daniel 9:27).

The end times are here and the Tribulation is coming quickly as the Bible states that the generation that sees the fig tree (Israel) rebloom will be the generation that sees the second coming of Christ (Matthew 24:32-34). The Antichrist is probably alive but we have no idea who it is until he is revealed.
