Armilus
Armilus is an anti-messiah figure in medieval Jewish eschatology, comparable to medieval interpretations of the Christian Antichrist and Islamic Dajjal, who will conquer the whole Earth, centralizing in Jerusalem and persecuting the believers until his final defeat at the hands of the Messenger of God or the true Messiah. His inevitable destruction symbolizes the ultimate victory of good over evil in the Messianic Age.Name
The name might be derived from that of Romulus, one of the founders of Rome, or from Ahriman, the evil principle in Zoroastrianism.Appearance
Midrash Vayosha depicts Armilus as bald, partially deaf, partially maimed, and partially leprous.
