The Anti-Christ Is Not Human

But when they have finished their testimony and their evidence is all in, the beast (monster) that comes up out of the Abyss (bottomless pit) will wage war on them, and conquer them and kill them. Revelation 11:7

The beast that you saw [once] was, but [now] is no more, and he is going to come up out of the Abyss (the bottomless pit) and proceed to go to perdition. And the inhabitants of the earth whose names have not been recorded in the Book of Life from the foundation of the world will be astonished when they look at the beast, because he [once] was, but [now] is no more, and he is [yet] to come. Revelation 17:8

The first thing that we are shown about the anti-christ is that he comes from the Abyss. He is not human, he is something other than human. He may possess a humans body, but the anti-christ is not human. We are also shown this Truth by the fact that this being is thrown directly into the Lake of Fire and does not come up for judgment on Judgment Day as is required for all humans.

And the beast was seized and overpowered, and with him the false prophet who in his presence had worked wonders and performed miracles by which he led astray those who had accepted or permitted to be placed upon them the stamp (mark) of the beast and those who paid homage and gave divine honors to his statue. Both of them were hurled alive into the fiery lake that burns and blazes with brimstone. Revelation 19:20

 

Then the devil who had led them astray [deceiving and seducing them] was hurled into the fiery lake of burning brimstone, where the beast and false prophet were; and they will be tormented day and night forever and ever (through the ages of the ages). Revelation 20:10

And one of his heads seemed to have a deadly wound. But his death stroke was healed; and the whole earth went after the beast in amazement and admiration. They fell down and paid homage to the dragon, because he had bestowed on the beast all his dominion and authority; they also praised and worshiped the beast, exclaiming, Who is a match for the beast, and, Who can make war against him? Revelation 3:4

Here is what I believe that we are shown about the anti-christ: he will be allowed out of the Abyss by our Father to possess a human worldly leader that will be killed. The world will marvel at this because the leader will seem to survive what no one else could. After this the leader will become very powerful because of the power of satan that our Father allows to work through the being possessing the dead leaders body.
