Satan/Lucifer is not the opposite of God but a opposing force to the creation and will of God. Lucifer is kind of the oldest teenager with a bad case of "I hate my creator" temper tantrum ever.
In that way Lucifer itself is already the antichrist, he is just missing a corporal manifestation on earth.
Well and Lucifer is, a lot like the named angels, Jesus and all the saints, a great loophole for monotheistic Christian religion around the first commandment.
edit notes: Corrected german written Luzifer to Lucifer
It's "Lucifer." It means "Light Bearer."
In German he is written with a z, "Luzifer", and my tired German brain just took that instead of the correct English writing. Sorry for that! 🫣
That's kinda badass honesly
