Daniel prophesied that the antichrist will come from the people that destroyed the temple. The tenth legion under Titus Vespasian destroyed the temple in 70 ad. So the antichrist comes from he old Roman empire right? The Pope right? The 10th legion was comprised of Syrians and Turks...pay attention to the details. Islam cuts off heads, not the Pope.
Ummm was Daniel speaking of the 2nd temple or the first temple?(mesopatamia versus Rome)
