How is Judas's going to his own place similar to the Antichrist coming from his own place?

Both Judas Iscariot and the Antichrist are called the son of perdition. Judas is spoken of as having gone to his own place, while the Antichrist is described as coming from his own place. This shared title and parallel "own place" language create the scriptural similarity.

Les explains that Judas Iscariot is identified in Scripture as the son of perdition and was spoken of as having gone to his own place. The book of Revelation applies the same title to the Antichrist, saying he also came from his own place. Les sees many Scriptural analogies here and, without being dogmatic, throws in the possibility that this may be the one instance of a reincarnation. He also connects this to the departure that must occur before the man of sin is revealed.
