A Man from Europe will greatly strengthen this treaty and make it work.

No where in the Bible does it say Anti Christ or the Beast is going to come from Europe.

In fact, I think this is deceiving. The more that things happen, makes me believe the Anti Christ will be a Muslim.

Some even say a Kenyan!

(No where in the Bible does it say Anti Christ or the Beast is going to come from Europe.)

That is true, DJP is reading between the lines, but the Scriptures indicate two things concerning the anti Christ’s location. One, he will rule over a ten nation confederacy that will rise from the ruins of old Rome, probably in Europe therefore. Two, he will be descended from the tribe of Dan most probably as this evil one will not worship the God of his forefathers, God being Elohim, the name of the trinity of the God of Israel.

Not only does the Bible not say the Antichrist or the Beast come from Europe, it doesn't say that they're the same person. Nor is absolutely clear that the Beast is a person at all. Nor does it say that there is a final "Antichrist" at the end of time.

In fact, the only book of Scripture that uses the term "Antichrist," 1 John, says that there are "many Antichrists even now" (1 Jn 2:18). That was almost 2000 years ago! Second Thessalonians 2 speaks of a "man of sin," but does not use the term "Antichrist," nor does it say anything about him coming from Europe.

Tradition dating back to the early Church Fathers speaks of a final Antichrist preceding the second Coming, but it's not there on the surface of the Scriptural texts.

He is like a lion, leopard and a bear. Which kingdoms/kings in history identified with these?

The Bible does not even hint the 'instead' of Christ will be a 'flesh' being. It does say because of deception all but the very elect will be deceived. WHY, because they do not know who the 'instead' of Christ is and that this 'actor' will show up first. Anti Christ means instead of Christ, and of course that would be 'against' Christ for the devil to be claiming he is Christ. It is going to be quite embarrassing for Christian to discover they have gone to a wedding out of season and that groom is none other than the devil himself. But you cannot tell these that have their bags pack, and their tickets punched who shows up first.
