Published posthumously in 1692, John Bunyan's Of Antichrist and His Ruin explains the concept of the Antichrist as the adversary of Christ. Disguised in a noble fashion, the Antichrist specifically targets the teachings of the church and aims to make it seem tyrannical. Bunyan elucidates the reasons for the advent of Antichrist into the world, the causes of the ruin of Antichris, t and how God will defeat and annihilate him
