(Bill asked permission to post the email I sent him on Jan 14th early yesterday but maybe he since changed his mind about posting it since I have not seen it on his site.)<\/p>\n<p>I guess nothing further needs to be said by me at this time since my views are on most of the links I just sighted. You might want to follow this discussion because all of a sudden there are many jumping on the Islamic Antichrist bandwagon and obviously by what I said I think that belief can lead to misdirection and great deception. My position and argument is more from logic and the big view rather than straining at scriptural gnats to try to find a word or two to support a theory I want to believe. Maybe that is not a very scholarly approach but I never claimed to be a scholar. I do claim to have some common sense logic and at least a wee bit of understanding about the big prophetic picture.<\/p>\n<p>One thing that I did not mention in my comments is that the nations that are under Islam have no real military power and anyone thinking that they will suddenly develop modern military capabilities to fulfill the Beast Kingdom that no one can war against is just believing in fantasy. Now if you want to believe the Antichrist is supernatural and has supernatural capabilities I guess anything is feasible but if he were that powerful (and he will be) what need does he have of any world religious beliefs? The fact is that he does not, and that is why he turns against and burns the world religious Harlot as soon as he receives Satan&#8217;s supernatural powers.<\/p>\n<p>Here is another article by Dr. Reagan that gives the <a title=\"profile of the Antichrist\" href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20200921073315\/http:\/\/www.lamblion.us\/2009\/01\/profile-of-antichrist.html\">profile of the Antichrist<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There is a rather heated controversy stirring between traditional Bible prophecy authors who think the Antichrist will be a western figure and more recent authors who think the Antichrist will come out of Islam.
