Is the Antichrist a human being?

Les teaches that the Antichrist will be an ordinary human being, though he clarifies he may not be ordinary in the usual sense. He will be born of woman, flesh and blood, much like Judas, and used by Satan to fulfill all satanic aspirations. He will come on the scene as a tremendous political manipulator and a charismatic type individual, able to manipulate people and command attention at summit meetings. He will have the power to make a peace treaty with Israel in the Middle East. Les feels his headquarters will be somewhere in Europe, and at the opening days of the seven years, the two witnesses will also appear in Jerusalem, and the Antichrist will give permission to build the temple.
