Please refer us to any occurrence of the word "antichrist" anywhere in the entirety of the Old Testament. The attribution of the work of Messiah the Prince in Daniel 9 to antichrist is a uniquely modernist revisionist blasphemy.

Matthew 23 33 Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell? John 8 44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a...

Certainly appears so.

I'm sure you'd agree that the collective number of hours of personal study by 60 translators considerably exceeds yours. What credible recognized source of Biblical Greek expertise translates Greek "en" as English "for" rather than "in"?
