I've been reading a lot of posts on here about Islam being the Antichrist. This theory was
going around a lot during the Middle Ages dating back to the era of the Crusades. It seems
only recently that people have interpreted Rome as the Antichrist since the "people of the
prince who is to come will destroy the temple" from Daniel 9.

I've been visiting this site www.frankcaw.com for several years now with news updates
about Middle East events. Frank seems to interpret some passages from Daniel 8 & 11
(interesting numbers!!) to make the future Beast empire come from a land intersected by
Persia, Greece and Roman empires (if you remember your high school math "intersection" of
sets).

He came up with a small nation rising out of Lebanon!! He often refers to Walid Jumblatt
and the Druze. According to him, at some point in the future a strong leader will stand up
and take over the middle east, including Jerusalem and giving it to the Palestinians! He
says it's in the Bible but I haven't found where.
