Perhaps the European Antichrist idea is borrowed from ancient Jewish belief that Western Civilzation is spiritual Esau-Edom spoken of in the Book of Obadiah.
Could be
Some say he must be Jewish in order for Israel to be deceived that he is “messiah”
Others claim that he must be Gentile - ........ well ......
Time will tell - the world keeps lining up for him
Digital Currency - Globalism - Digital Passports - tracking / monitoring - Cash will be eliminated - outlawed IMHO
No…it predates the Esau / Europe nonsense. The European Antichrist comes from Daniel 9.
