Antichrist

====As Satan====
[[Bernard McGinn (theologian)|Bernard McGinn]] described multiple traditions detailing the relationship between the Antichrist and [[Satan#Christianity|Satan]]. In the dualist approach, Satan will become incarnate in the Antichrist, just as [[Incarnation (Christianity)|God became incarnate in Jesus]]. However, in [[Eastern Orthodox Church|orthodox Christian]] thought, this view was problematic because it was too similar to Christ's incarnation and suggested [[Dualism in cosmology|dualism]]. Instead, the "indwelling" view became more accepted. It stipulates that the Antichrist is a human figure inhabited by Satan, since the latter's power is not to be seen as equivalent to God's.{{sfn|Cabinet|2001}} [[Luca Signorelli]]'s fresco, ''The Sermon and Deeds of the Antichrist'' (see above), depicts the indwelling view. Satan whispers in the ear of this Christlike figure and his left arm is slipped through the Antichrist's garment as if he is manipulating him.
