Where Will The Antichrist Come From?
The question of where will
the antichrist come from is
one of the most asked questions
in the area of bible prophecy.
However this is not only a
question for modern times but
historically throughout
different phases of church
history, this question has
always been a major
controversial matter for
discussion.
At
www.theantichristidentity.com
we are offering one of the most
controversial reports to address
the relevance of this to the
coming one world government and
new world order.
During the times of the apostles
and as far forward as the early
Church Fathers, there was a
profound belief that the
Antichrist would arise from the
Roman Empire. The testimonies of
many of the early church fathers
generally expected the
Antichrist to rise to power very
soon after the fall of the pagan
Rome empire during their own
time.
When political Rome decayed and
lost its influence as a world
power it was papal Rome which
emerged as the new world power
and during the rule of the
papacy many of the offshoots of
the reformation began teaching
that the Antichrist was actually
the very Pope himself.
This belief was obviously borne
out from the significant wealth,
power and influence that the
Church exerted over the whole of
Europe in forming what is
commonly known as the Holy Roman
Empire.
It was only since the so called
“public” demise of the Papacy
and the return of major
political figures such as
Napoleon, Mussolini, Stalin and
Hitler and Saddam Hussein that
the question of where will
the antichrist come from has
focused more significantly on
political leaders who have made
a significant contribution to
world history.
Of very recent times the
controversy has thickened with
some bible prophecy teachers now
believing that the Antichrist
could be Barack Obama Prince
Charles of Wales, Prince
William, Javier Solana, Otto Von
Hapsburg or some leader to
emerge from the Islamic world.
But does the Bible give some
indication and is there enough
clarity to know exactly the
location that the Antichrist
will come from.
Daniel Chapter 2 probably
represents the best source of
biblical information regarding
the geographical location
through which the Antichrist
will emerge. In Daniels vision
of a great image he sees that
the image is composed of four
major elements, Gold, Silver,
Brass and then Iron. History has
proven that each particular
element represented a succession
of past world empires which were
Babylon, Medo-Persia, Greece and
Rome.
