A Question Posed To Me The Other Day.

Why do people assume that the Antichrist has to come from the Western, 'Christian World?'

Consider these definitions:

Antichrist

/ˈantɪkrʌɪst/

noun

1. (in some Christian teachings) a personal opponent of Christ expected to appear before the end of the world.

   "the battle between Christ and the Antichrist"

   • a person or force seen as opposing Christ or the Christian Church.

     plural noun: Antichrists

     "St Paul really did have to fear for his life at the hands of an Antichrist named Nero"
   • a person or thing regarded as supremely evil or as a fundamental enemy or opponent.

     "I see the media as the Antichrist"

   
   
2. Blogger: could the Antichrist not come from a Hindu, Moslem or Sikh background?
3. Odd this. It is a thought which had never previously crossed my mind.
