Could the antichrist be a place or government? Will it be a single person who can do all
The Bible specifically says it's going to be a person, who runs World Government. Forcing folks to take the "mark of the beast" and who will appear to have all the answers for what is ailing the world at the time of tribulations.
Let no one in any way deceive you, for it will not come unless the apostasy comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction, who opposes and exalts himself above every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, displaying himself as being God. Do you not remember that while I was still with you, I was telling you these things? And you know what restrains him now, so that in his time he will be revealed. For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only he who now restrains will do so until he is taken out of the way. Then that lawless one will be revealed whom the Lord will slay with the breath of His mouth and bring to an end by the appearance of His coming; that is, the one whose coming is in accord with the activity of Satan, with all power and signs and false wonders, and with all the deception of wickedness for those who perish,
because they did not receive the love of the truth so as to be saved. 2 Thessalonians 2:3-10

10 Facts Concerning the Person of the Antichrist
1. He Claims to be God & Will Seek to be Worshipped
In 2 Thessalonians 2:3-4, Paul writes, “Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition, who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshipped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.”
He will claim to be God incarnate and his aim will be to have people worship him as God.
2. He Will Blaspheme God
In Revelation 13:6 it is written, “Then he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme His name, His tabernacle, and those who dwell in heaven.”
Antichrist will openly make fun of and blaspheme God.
3. He Will Display Miraculous Powers
In Revelation 13:13 it is written, “He performs great signs so that he even makes fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men.”
No one truly knows how this will play out, but as technology increases, we could see media and live streams playing a huge role in gathering massive crowds that will witness these miraculous events, and potentially be deceived by his display of “power.”
4. The Antichrist Comes Back to Life
In Revelation 13:14 it says, “And he deceives those who dwell on the earth by those signs which he was granted to do in the sight of the beast, telling those who dwell on the earth to make an image to the beast who was wounded by the sword and lived.”
Also in Revelation 13:12, it says, “…causes the earth and those who dwell in it to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.”
According to the Bible, this man will have miraculous healing from a wound that will cause more people to turn and worship him as a messiah figure.
5. The Antichrist Will Rule In Full Authority
Revelation 13:5 says, “And he was given a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies, and he was given authority to continue for 3 ½ years.”
Interestingly enough, the Bible states that God will allow the enemy to have authority on the earth.
In Revelation 13:7 it is written that “…authority was given him (beast) over every tribe, tongue, and nation.” The Antichrist will gain full authority over the earth such as the world economy and religion. Of course, there will be people who will resist this authority and cause trouble by not taking the mark of the beast.
Those who do not worship the beast will be persecuted and killed.
6. The Antichrist Will Control the World’s Economy
Revelation 13:16-17 says, “He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.”
This concept may have seemed impossible 2000 years ago, but for today’s modern world it seems like we are getting there more and more. We have computer chips in our phones, cars, as well as credit cards. Even recently we see this with the mandates across the world for vaccine passports, which will limit travel for those not vaccinated.
The mandates of COVID-19 and the vaccine are not the mark of the beast, but they are preparing the world for
the mark that’s to come.
The world seems like it is preparing itself for a one-world government and a one-world system. Technology allowed the world to unite so quickly around the pandemic. This is not to dismiss COVID-19, this is a real virus and there are real people who have suffered because of it.
However, looking at the world through a spiritual lens, we cannot ignore the fact the devil is watching what is going on and making his own plans to advance his kingdom.
