If you look up Armilus you get a load of misunderstandings. Mainstream idea would have you believe it's a statue created by God underneath Rome, one can't look at it without going blind, that priests will masturbate on it, and a man will be born from the statue, and that's the Antichrist.

Not true at ALL. The statue is buried in Scotland. It will be placed in Solomon's Temple. Some die from being around and touching it but usually it just causes mental issues. It did not birth the Antichrist - the Antichrist will 'birth' the statue in a way, as in digging it up and placing it in the Holiest of Holies in the rebuilt Temple. Then Satan will have direct access to this world.
