The anti-christ is a man with human parents and the spirit of Satan enters him later in life. He isn't born that way, like "Damien" or "Rosemary's Baby" movies. He will be an intellectual genius, an oratorical genius, political genius, commercial genius, military genius, religious genius, he will begin by controlling the western block, he will make a 7 year convenant with Israel but will break it, he will attempt to destroy all of Israel, he will destroy the false religious system of that time so he can rule unhindered, he will set himself up as God, he will briefly rule over all nations, he will lose to Jesus at Armageddon, he will be the first creature thrown in the lake of fire, he will be a master of deceit, he will profane the temple, he will be energized by Satan himself, he will do everything according to his own selfish will, he will not regard the God of his fathers, his god will be the god of power, he will have no desire of women. Also, the generation that sees the reestablishment of the nation of Israel will see the end. What is a generation? A 100 years. Israel became a nation on May 5, 1948. Basically, a 200 million man army descends upon Israel in the Valley of Megiddo. I think these armies will be Muslim. A revived Roman Empire of 10 countries-5 strong (USA is one), 5 weak-come to Israel's aid. Sounds like a partial coalition to me. The western coalition wins but one third of the world dies instantly, and another third dies from famine and plague-nuclear war, I believe. The leader of this revived roman empire (president, probably) restores order to the world and is a good man for 3 and a half years, but then Satan enters him and he turns evil and wants the world to worship him and Israel refuses. After another 3 and a half years, he attacks Israel and if the day were not shortened, mankind would cease to exist. But, Christ comes back and defeats the devil. Christians are resurrected, life on earth is perfect for a thousand years and then this heaven and earth are rolled up like a scroll and a new heaven and earth are created by God. Read Revelation (especially chapter 21 and Book of Daniel). Some theologians believed the anti-christ would be the Pope in earlier eras and the 200 million man army would be the communists but now the picture is clearing up. 9/11 will be looked back upon as the beginning of the end, I believe.

Many believe that the Antichrist will come be of Roman lineage because of Revelation 13:1, "And I saw a beast coming out of the sea." Some take that to mean that he will come from the area of the Mediterranean Sea. And also, Daniel 9:26, "...The people of the ruler who will come will destroy the city and the sanctuary." So, the Antichrist, or the ruler who is to come, will be of Roman descent, because the Roman Empire is who destroyed Jerusalem around 70 AD.
*shrugs* Not saying I think it's true, mind you. It could be. I'm no Biblical scholar, that's for sure. But that's what some people think. Hope that helps.

Although I can't remember the exact reference (Daniel, I believe) it states that anti-christ will rise up from among the people who destroyed Jerusalem..or Rome. Since the Roman empire covered most of Europe, that's where the idea comes from.
It's really just a subject folks can debate about. It's not something to fall on a sword about!

Europe is not mentioned in the bible nor is America, Australia, Asia, Africa, Antarctica. The god had a very limited knowledge of the world.

None, you are confusing the bible with the predictions of Nostradamus.
