Where does the Antichrist come from according to Daniel?
According to Daniel, the Antichrist comes from the revived Roman Empire, emerging as the 'little horn' out of ten nations or kingdoms represented by the ten toes of Nebuchadnezzar’s vision. After three of these are plucked up, he rises from the remaining seven, originating from the European Community.
Les teaches that the ten nations forming the revived Roman Empire—the ten toes of Nebuchadnezzar's vision—will produce the Antichrist. He is the little horn of Daniel's prophecy, arising after three of the first ten are plucked up by the roots. Les explains this means three smaller European Community nations will lose their identity and be absorbed by the other seven, and out of those remaining seven the man Antichrist will come. Les also notes that the European Community already has its currency (the ECU) and a constitution ready, and when turmoil makes the time ripe, a strong man—the Antichrist—will appear.
And whereas thou sawest the feet and toes, part of potters’ clay, and part of iron, the kingdom shall be divided; but there shall be in it of the strength of the iron, forasmuch as thou sawest the iron mixed with miry clay.
See the restI considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things.
