Let us not forget that the real Antichrist will, when he comes on to the world scene will be very popular. He will be very charismatic. So the point is when we look for the “Antichrist” we shouldn’t be looking for a villain. We shouldn’t be looking for a bad guy, for that is not how he is going to appear, not to most people, at least not at first.
In fact he is going to appear as an hero. He is going to appear as an humanitarian. He is going to appear as a savior. He is actually going to be responsible or seem to be responsible in solving some of humanity’s most intractable problems. Perhaps he is going to be responsible for curing some disease, or develop ways to make things grow on barren land.
This is why I am guessing that he will be an industrialist because only an industrialist could have the infrastructures to develop such technology. Obviously what pushes this guy into the world stage would be the continuing success of his company.
And from there his success and charisma is going to pull him into politics. I say pull but it was his plan all along, though like the best of politicians he will make it look like he only begrudgingly entered the political sphere.
I believe he will become the head of the European Union, an entity that right now isn’t that strong, but since I see see this as happening from 30-50 years from now I see that by then the organization will have grown in strength
I still believe we have a generation or two before he arises, but in the term of human history a generation or two isn’t that long from now.

anonymous,
Your speculation is well considered, but I shy away from such myself. One saint counseled us to not speculate lest we start looking for one type, and get broadsided by a reality not conforming to our expectations.
It also goes without saying that trying to offer a “window” of when things may happen begins to lead us to the possibility of getting comfortable inasmuch as “its not going to happen for a while” sinks into our thinking, and we become complacent.
Most important, when the end comes - that of the world, or just our own - is to be found in a state of grace and in obedience. Do that, and everything else may fall apart around you, but before the Awesome Judgement seat we will hear those words we so long for “Well done, good and faithful servant!”
