The simplest explanation is usually the correct one but you, my friend, seem to have an affinity for complexities...whether or not they actually exist. Needless to say, you have a very "interesting" take on scripture.
My question to you is why can't it be that the antichrist (as presented in Daniel) doesn't regard women because "he" is merely an android, not having any sexual feelings towards women? That would fit the context of that verse wouldn't it?

The son of man, says "I am the way the truth and the life". You must go through him to see the father.
The father says, "I am God, there is no other, I am He" and also, "I will not come to you as a man" and "My salvation is generation to generation forever".
They are either the same, or one is lying.
Peace

I did a search for this verse, "I will not come to you as a man", and couldn't find it. Could you reference this? I have to admit I'm not aware of it in the bible but that doesn't mean it isn't there. I am aware, however, of a few other verses in the OT that say God is not human (or a man to be more exact) but that is, of course, not the same thing as saying that God is not able to become or reveal Himself through a human form, which is what Jesus represents. Also, we do see God revealing Himself or His plans throughout the bible via angels, which also take a "human" appearance so I don't see why both can't be true? Maybe I'm misunderstanding what you were trying to say? I think the point being made is that God is not susceptible to human error since He is not in essence human.
Some of the stronger Singularity technologies, such as Artificial Intelligence and brain-computer interfaces, offer the possibility of faster intelligence as well as smarter intelligence. Ultimately, speeding up intelligence is probably comparatively unimportant next to creating better intelligence; nonetheless the potential differences in speed are worth mentioning because they are so huge. Human neurons operate by sending electrochemical signals that propagate at a top speed of 150 meters per second along the fastest neurons. By comparison, the speed of light is 300,000,000 meters per second, two million times greater. Similarly, most human neurons can spike a maximum of 200 times per second; even this may overstate the information-processing capability of neurons, since most modern theories of neural information-processing call for information to be carried by the frequency of the spike train rather than individual signals. By comparison, speeds in modern computer chips are currently at around 2GHz – a ten millionfold difference – and still increasing exponentially. At the very least it should be physically possible to achieve a million-to-one speedup in thinking, at which rate a subjective year would pass in 31 physical seconds. At this rate the entire subjective timespan from Socrates in ancient Greece to modern-day humanity would pass in under twenty-two hours.

As far as the wheels within wheels, I'm not sure where you're going with that. Give me an idea of what you're thinking.

In addition, Revelation 13:18 PLAINLY states that the antichrist is a MAN.
51.
His disciple said to Him,
"When will the repose of the dead come about,
and when will the new world come?"
He said to them,
"What you look forward to has already come,
but you do NOT recognise it."
52.
His disciples said to Him,
"Twenty-four prophets spoke in Israel,
and all of them spoke in you."
He said to them,
"You have omitted The Living One in your presence
and have spoken only of the Dead."
