where does antichrist come from ?
the question was already answered here in Daniel
we saw "wings" of the four beasts being removed from Babylon
* but we see they are back with the leopard ( Greece)
alexander the great is antichrist ( was )
we see the ram and goat (alexander)
we see the 70's sevens and see the future with the 70th week ( will come)
and the (is not) is Rome
what will he do ?
answer ;
the kings of the north and south
the north is the Seleucid kingdom ; one of the four parts that alexander's kingdom was broken into
and the actions or clues of the similarity are seen in the Maccabean revolt
when the king of the north pours the pigs blood on the altar
but Jesus speaks of these similar events to come in the future
and not in the time of (is not) Rome
but in the time of that 70th week
just as Daniel 12 eludes to
so where does he come from?
out of the was ( alexander )
thru the Seleucid kingdom
during the 70th week
from what we see today as ; Iran; Iraq; Turkey
THIS IS THE DANIEL STORY; {as I read it; or imo}
I agree. If anything the Pope would be the false prophet, but the AC comes from the middle east, just as Jesus did. Satan is a great imitator without much imagination. And agree he'll come from the area you mentioned just as the Scriptures say:
Isaiah 10:24(KJV) Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD of hosts, O my people that dwellest in Zion, be not afraid of the Assyrian: he shall smite thee with a rod, and shall lift up his staff against thee, after the manner of Egypt.
Isaiah 14:25 (KJV) That
I will break the Assyrian in my land, and upon my mountains tread him under foot: then shall his yoke depart from off them, and his burden depart from off their shoulders.
Isaiah 30:31(KJV) For through the
voice of the LORD shall the Assyrian be beaten down, [which]
smote with a rod.
Isaiah 31:8(KJV) Then shall
the Assyrian fall with the sword,
not of a mighty man; and the sword, not of a mean man, shall devour him: but he shall flee from the sword, and his young men shall be discomfited.
Speaking of Jesus...
Revelation 19:15 (KJV)
And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and
he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.
Revelation 19:21 (KJV)
And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which
[sword] proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh.
