i wonder if the whole notion of an ante-christ is a well deployed plot to form a self fulfilling prophecy.be careful what you believe in,lest you create it by that belief,

So Antichrist is literally referring to the Bible's prediction that a world rule would arise at some point that was the opposite of Christ, yet would be seen by many people as some sort of Messiah figure. It is the actual meaning of the word that leads most researchers on the subject to identify Adolf Hitler as either being Antichrist or at the very least being a fore-warning or some type of premonition of the Antichrist.
Antichrist basically means someone equivalent to Hitler but that would actually successfully achieve worldwide governance. Basically, a world-wide dictator with a cult-like following amongst the masses. So yes, the Bible clearly states Antichrist is a man that is a world wide dictator.

While agreeing with all that, I would also include the Matthew ch24 comments about someone saying "I am the Christ". So in my mind, at least,he is not just a world-wide dictator but also someone explicitly and openly claiming the name of Christ, perhaps combining this with titles suitable for other religions.
Yes, I'm inclined to see the Hitler regime as a vey useful model of the way the Beast regime might work.

The Greek Prime Minister George Papandreou was born on June 16. In Greece the date is written as 16-6, but in the US the date is written as 6-16 and he was born in the USA, meaning on his birth certificate it would be written as 6-16.

If the antichrist were to come from an opposed country by the west, the only way for him to gain the ultimate power that he would need would be to wage war against the west.
