Antichrist from Greece?
Regarding what territorial location the Antichrist might arise, I had previously leaned towards Greece. Daniel chapter eight refers to a Goat which represents the Greek Empire. Verse eight mentions four horns which come out of the broken horn from the head of the goat. These represent the four generals that Alexander the Great left the kingdom to after he died. The following verses reference the “Little Horn” as coming out of the four horns. The context has both a historical as well as an end-times prophetic anti-type application. Most premillennial commenters suggest that this Little Horn passage has a double fulfillment. There is a historical context fulfilled in the person of Antiochus Epiphanes who reigned over …show more content…
Perhaps it’s simply some kind of winged idol made to mock the ark of the covenant which is also covered with winged Cherubs. Either way, what’s noteworthy is the giant painting on the ceiling of Trump’s penthouse of a wingless Apollo standing in his chariot ready to take his flight across the sky, much less a blonde Apollo being led by Aurora. Greek myth connects this with the morning star, Venus (or Lucifer), coming out of heaven. Is it reading too much into this to say that Trump perhaps sees himself as a kind of Apollo, Helios or Jupiter? Remember this quote from his second wife, Marla Maples? “He’s a king. I mean truly.

The enlightenment had a profound impact on the philosophy of our forefathers. Our form of government, although not an exact copy, was heavily influenced by that of ancient Greece; i.e. the Senate. One just need take a trip to see the ancient ruins in Greece and from there, travel to Washington D.C. to see the direct architectural influence. Also, there is nothing preventing Trump from later taking a position over the 10-nation power block which is in some way more directly connected to Greece. That said, is it a coincidence that the nation of Greece is approaching a collapse? To what degree Antiochus’ Grecian Empire association necessitates a future Antichrist connection is unclear. What is certain is that 1.) A direct parallel fulfilment is unnecessary 2.) Trump, although not from Greece, already has undeniable associations to its culture and could still later have more of a direct
