I concur with Wes K  http://www.fivedoves.com/letters/aug2005/wesk816.htm when he recommended the www.chn-net.com web site.  I think one would be hard-pressed to fault his (Sal Smario's) research and documentation for where the Antichrist will come from.
 
The article to which Wes K was referring can be found at: http://www.chn-net.com/teaching/endtimes/beast.html.  At the bottom of that article are links to other very interesting articles related to the topic of the Antichrist.
 
There is a lot of great information at this web site on other endtime subjects as well.  Also there is a four-night a week radio show and all shows are archived for listening anytime.  Thursday nights are usually set aside for updates on the mid-east and how this plays into Biblical prophecy.
 
This is my first time posting at Five Doves; but I want you to know that I've been a "silent watcher" for some time.  You all really bless me.  Thanks.
