I am one who believes the Roman Church as the first baton-receiver from Israel was infiltrated long ago.
30 years ago we thought Antichrist would arise from the old Holy Roman Empire. Some now think he arises from Islam.
I’m following the baton (in my opinion!) from Abraham.
I am leaning toward Islam. And it is funny that Joseph Smith considered himself the second Mohammed (strange too that Mormonism has such close parallels to Islam).
I had better clarify that comment lest some reader draw the wrong conclusion.
"I am leaning toward Islam as the source of the AntiChrist."
