What? Damnit, I wanted to be the whore and ride around on the beast. That would be epic! But I don't want to give birth to the antichrist. Shit, I thought I was doing that when I was taking a dump the other day. It BURNED. Damn hot sauce. Nah, I don't want that experience again. Maybe you're wrong. Maybe I could still be the whore without giving birth to the antichrist.

This is the full definition of antichrist, its even repeated:
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.
2Jn_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.
these next two scriptual references provide very important context:
1Jn_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.
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.
"Time" itself is an important part of the Christian doctrine, in Revelations (which is a dream), does not add to the Christian doctrine, it merely gives a fuller account about all the things that happen in the full attainment of a complete salvation. This is why the 'end' is always close at hand, and none will know the day of its coming.
If you are waiting for Jesus Christ to physically appear in the clouds and come down and save you, then you are, technically, an antichrist according to:
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.
"is come" is the grammar of the present tense. And it's further part of the doctrine of salvation through participation in a communion that's seeking the Kingdom of God, structured by the gifts of its "members in particular", prophet (visions, dreams, prophecy), apostle, teacher, evangelist... Notice that Jung dealt with the dreams of his patients. The body of Christ is thus, a rudimentary form of therapeutic truth seeking, as to the condition of the soul, and unburdening it from any apparent manifestation of spiritual death (the loss of free will). Taking on the sins the world, and crucifying your flesh for those sins, is a process of self-realization, you take a sense of shared destiny with your environment, to arrive at the knowledge of what clarity truly is (the water). The intricate details of this massive undertaking, is symbolically depicted in the dream of Revelations, where archetypal forces are sharing in a drama that is being activated by the person who is seeking the Kingdom. The drama is from the perspective of "the world" (that is why it is so violent, because the world is not a real plane, its the illusion that the earth has been swallowed by, because of the spirit of the deceiver, and it changes it forms many many times in the process of precipitating the revelation of the victory of truth).
In revelations it says a lot of things that would probably rub "so called Christians" the wrong way:
Rev_10:7 But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets.
...the mystery of God should be finished
