There are some silly candidates put forth by people as possibly being the Antichrist. George Bush, Barack Obama, Bill Clinton, and others. They’re not even worthy of commenting on other than those are just silly and stupid prospects as who the Antichrist might be.
There are enough clues in the Bible to at least tell everyone the origin of the Antichrist. In Daniel 7 it describes where the Antichrist will come from. It says that he will come from the fourth and last empire to take over Israel, and that it will be a reformation of this empire. In the redeveloping of this empire, the eleventh nation to join will be diverse from all of the others. This is the nation that the Antichrist will come from. The fourth empire to come was the Roman Empire. That means it will be a reformation of this empire that the Antichrist will come from. If I’m right and many others are also right, the European Union is the new Roman Empire. Look at what it’s done. It was at first a modest trade organization between European countries, and now it’s got its own army and now is the law of Europe. They brought forth the European currency, the euro. Great power lies with the EU, and that power is growing. What was the eleventh nation to join? Both Spain and Portugal came in at the same time and were the eleventh nations. So which is it? The headquarters of the EU is now in Madrid. When attacks upon and by Israel happen, Madrid steps in. If the EU is indeed the new Roman Empire, then he will most likely come from Spain.
1. King Juan Carlos of Spain: He’s the most well-known possible Antichrist. I have good reason to believe it is not him. He’s old. One thing the Antichrist probably won’t be. He does have a lot going for him. He’s the King of Spain. His royal blood is second to only one other man. His ancestor was once King of Jerusalem. He has a lot of power in Spain. He’s more than just a titled King. He does have responsibilities beyond the royal family in Britain. I still have a very strong belief it is not him.
2. Javier Solana: Some have looked at him as the Antichrist as well. He has a lot of power within the EU and NATO as well. He is Spain’s top representative to the EU on security matters. Again, he’s too old to be the Antichrist in my opinion. I’m more sure of him not being the Antichrist than King Juan Carlos.
3. Prince Felipe: The most credible Antichrist possibility. Pope Pius XII said that when Jerusalem is in Israeli control that it will begin “the countdown” towards the tribulation period. That happened in 1967 after the Six Day War. Prince Felipe was born in 1968. The Bible says that the number of his name will be six-six-six. Prince Felipe has two ways his name can fit in this. Known mostly as Prince Felipe Borbon Carlos, he also has six official titles. Prince of Asturia, Prince of Viana, Prince of Girona, Duke of Montblanc, Count of Cervera, and Lord of Balaguer. He is a good looking man. Lucifer was God’s most beautiful angel. He has all of his father’s royal blood and then some. His mother is the Queen of Greece. Not only will he inherit his father’s titles and has the same bloodline, but he has even more royalty in him than his father. Prince Felipe is the one that sticks out in my mind. It might not be him, but he has all of the qualities necessary. He to me is the most intriguing possibility.
Some might say “why debate about this”. Well why would God give us clues? There’s a reason for that. He’s not going to give us clues and expect us not to look into them. We are inching closer everyday to that day. It’s a good thing to keep your eyes opened. No matter who it will be, all will bow to him for at least a moment. Only the election of grace will not bow their knee at all. There will only be seven thousand of them when that day comes. The decision upon this creation doesn’t rest on if they ever bow their knee. It’s will they keep their faith at the end of the age. Will they stand their ground when they know what is right. Remember, the sounding of the seventh trump will remove the spirit of slumber upon this creation, and the mystery of everything is finished. That will be what is most important. All will know Jesus is the Christ and Satan is the evil one, but many will be so weak they will still fall.
