Just finished listening to a 4 part series by Chuck Missler.   It’s on www.Godsnews.com , part 4 is what you want to listen to.   An interesting item that he talks about is the belief of many that the AC is a product of Rome or Europe…conventional wisdom.   That is because of the verse in Daniel that speaks of the people of the “prince who is to come”…as being the ones who destroyed the Temple in 70 AD.    The Romans did that, hence, the AC is Roman and/or European.   However, he says, the Roman legions were not all composed of Romans,…many of them, including some who laid siege to Jerusalem in 70 AD, were, in fact, conscripts or foreigners drafted into the Roman army, but not of Roman blood.    Now, skip over to Isaiah and , actually, Ezekiel  where the AC is referred to as the ‘Assyrian’.     Missler again….who are the Assyrians (they are not the Syrians)?    He says that the Assyrians were a compilation of people groups from Syria, Iraq and Turkey.   Those three groups, primarily, made up the group called Assyrians.   O.K….so what?    Consider this, then…..the AC is not Roman/European as many say, but rather someone from that area that formally comprised Assyria, someone whose background could be traced to one of those people groups…Syrian, Iraqi, Turkish.       All of that is from Missler.    I don’t know if he is right or not, but it does beg the question of if the AC is European, why then is he referred to several times as the Assyrian?    I offer that for general discussion.   RJ
