Joan Boney ... apostle/prophet
In Daniel 8, the angel Gabriel appeared to Daniel for the purpose of explaining what he was shown in a vision concerning the end times.
The angel said:
23-25 And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors are come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences, shall stand up. And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power: and he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper, and practise, and shall destroy the mighty and the holy people.
And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand.
This is one man who is described as a "king" ... head of governments of men.
This man destroys by offering peace, but his intentions are hidden.
I believe this was Hitler.
*****
Hitler came to the leaders of England and France saying he wanted only peace, not war.
At the time he said this, he was planning war against Austria.
The leaders of England and France were delighted to hear Hitler say he had no plans for war. They were easily deceived by Hitler.
Hitler ended up "destroying wonderfully".
* but he shall be broken without hand...
For a season in time, Hitler reigned mightily and at the appointed time Hitler was destroyed.

Most of the church speaks of antichrist as if it is one man. They do not realize they are speaking of this "fierce king" described in Daniel 8.
*****
The apostle John told us there were already many antichrists in his day.
I John 2:18 Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.
The apostle Paul tells us that before Jesus comes, people will "fall away".
II Thessalonians 2:3-4 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.
People in churches would fall away from scripture which would permit another spirit to come into the church ... a spirit of lawlessness ... opposite to Christ, the Word ... thus antichrist.
This would come through "the temple of God", the church.
Lawlessness against scripture in the churches as they "fall away" from portions of scripture, explaining away the doctrines of Christ which are set forth for us in the Bible.
These people who fall away from scripture are antichrist.
Daniel 12:10 Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand.
