This theory has been around for a long time and is typically held by preterist believers today. Good books on the topic are Before Jerusalem Fell and The Beast of Revelation, both by Dr. Kenneth Gentry.
It's an interesting idea, but I don't find it compelling. I tend toward the understanding that in Revelation (as well as Thessalonians and 1 John), the antichrist isn't a single end times figure, but instead is any person who desecrates God's people by attempting to co-opt the kingdom of God into the service of an earthly empire. |

I seem to remain confused about 'revelations' brought out in Scripture. I have heard teachings on Revelations all my memory time. Several Revelation's preachers have attended our churches in revivals with charts with scary looking creatures. Using a Pointer stick start in the beginning and explain Daniel and Revelations and every thing in between. The experts did not agree, I guess they still do not. Prophecy is very hard to get across to us who are 'unlearned' (and at times sceptical), the answers must be simple enough for a person to either 'understand' or 'accept'.
I see many people who are 'anti-Christ' but I cannot help it that over 70 years of listening,reading and a little study, I still look for one character!
