What does the Bible say about the death of the Antichrist at the hands of Christ?

The Bible, particularly in the New Testament, describes the defeat of the Antichrist by Christ in several passages, primarily in the books of 2 Thessalonians and Revelation.

2 Thessalonians 2:8:

"And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will overthrow with the breath of his mouth and destroy by the splendor of his coming."

This passage suggests that Christ will defeat the Antichrist with his power and glory upon his return.

Revelation 19:19-21:

"Then I saw the beast and the kings of the earth and their armies gathered together to wage war against the rider on the horse and his army. But the beast was captured, and with it the false prophet who had performed the signs on its behalf. With these signs he had deluded those who had received the mark of the beast and worshiped its image. The two of them were thrown alive into the fiery lake of burning sulfur. The rest were killed with the sword coming out of the mouth of the rider on the horse, and all the birds gorged themselves on their flesh."

In this vivid imagery from Revelation, the "beast" (often interpreted as the Antichrist) and the false prophet are captured and thrown into the lake of fire by Christ, depicted as the rider on the white horse.

These passages collectively indicate that the Antichrist will be defeated and destroyed by Christ at his second coming, emphasizing the ultimate victory of good over evil.
