also been called Syrians. Let’s also look at Habakkuk 1:6– “For, lo, I raise up the Chaldeans, that
bitter and hasty nation, which shall march through the breadth of the land, to possess dwellingplaces
that are not theirs.” The land of the Chaldeans was in southern Babylonia, in what is now
southern Iraq. These references seem to point to an Arabic background, and are given credence
because they consider themselves the enemies of Israel.
A reference in Daniel 11:37 says: “Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers...” This may
be an indication of Jewish ancestry, and some researchers believe that the Antichrist will be a
Jew from the tribe of Dan. In Genesis 49:17, when the patriarch Jacob is speaking to his sons, he
said: “Dan shall be a serpent by the way...” and Jeremiah 8:16 refers to the armies of Dan
devouring the land. In the seventh chapter of Revelation, John omitted the name of Dan when he
listed the tribes of Israel. Dan and Ephraim were the first to lead Israel into adultery. Dan was
replaced by the tribe of Manasseh (Joseph’s oldest son).
Though we can’t be sure of the area of his origin, in the end, the Antichrist will succeed in
doing what no man has been able to do since the fall of the Roman Empire in 476 AD.
Charlemagne, Charles V, Louis XIV, Napoleon, Kaiser Wilhelm, Benito Mussolini, and Hitler
all tried to take over Europe to unify it, but failed. The Antichrist will be a strong political leader,
who will gain strength through statesmanship and promises of peace. On December 6, 1961,
McGeorge Bundy (of the CFR), Special Assistant to President Kennedy, told the Economic Club
of Europe, that if Western Europe would unite as one power to have economic, military and
political unity, they would be a truly great power. Time magazine even wrote that the real aim of
the Common Market was to become a single country.
The political policies of the Antichrist will bring strength, stability and unity to Europe, while
his economic policies will bring prosperity to industry, agriculture, and commerce. His success
in doing that will give him international stature.
Candidates For the Antichrist
As the end times quickly engulf us, and prophetic events begin to unfold, many researchers
have made suggestions in regard to the identity of the Antichrist.
One of the first was King Don Juan-Carlos I of Spain, born in Rome (January 5, 1938), who
is a direct descendant of Queen Victoria of England. In 1948 he was given over to Generalissimo
Francisco Franco by his exiled parents, to be educated in Spain. He first attended the Instituto
San Isidro, and then was given a private tutor in 1949. In 1955, he graduated from the Navy
Orphans College; then attended the Academia General Militar at Zaragoza, where he received a
commission in the Spanish Army as a lieutenant (where he graduated 3rd out of a class of 271).
Until 1959, he received training from the Naval Academy (attaining the rank of Midshipman in
the Spanish Navy) and the Aviation Academy in San Xavier (where he received an officer’s
commission in the Spanish Air Force). In 1960, he entered the University of Madrid to study
law, political science, economics, and philosophy. Carlos became King in 1975, and is
recognized as Western Europe’s most capable military leader. A new Constitution ratified in
1978, made Carlos the most powerful monarch on the continent.
Prince Charles Philip Arthur George Windsor, who was born November 14, 1948 (a
significant year), became the 21st Prince of Wales in 1969. The oldest child of Queen Elizabeth
II (and Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh) is the heir-apparent to King George VI. His wedding
in 1981 captured the attention of the world, and it was rumored that his mother was considering
