The Bible does not explicitly state whether the Antichrist will be male or female. Biblical references to the Antichrist, such as in 1 John 2:18, 2 Thessalonians 2:3-4, and Revelation 13, use masculine pronouns or descriptors, which might suggest male imagery. However, these references are often symbolic, and some theologians argue they don't necessarily dictate a specific gender for the Antichrist.

For example:

1 John 2:18 refers to the Antichrist as a singular figure while also warning about "many antichrists."

2 Thessalonians 2:3-4 describes the Antichrist as "the man of lawlessness," which uses masculine language but could be interpreted more broadly.

Revelation 13 speaks of a "beast" rising with symbolic imagery, not focusing on gender.

Ultimately, the emphasis in these passages is on the Antichrist's character and actions—deception, opposition to God, and seeking worship—rather than physical characteristics like gender. What do you believe?
