The Assyrian

The anitchrist will be the King of Assyria. 

(Is. 10:12, Is. 14:25, Is. 30:31, Is. 31:8, Is. 37:18, Mica 5:5,6 etc.)  

Read that northern Iraq area. 

Missler states the  Kurdistan region today.  Encyclopedia Britannia writes:  "Nineveh, (ancient city, Iraq).  Nineveh, the oldest and most populous city of the ancient Assyrian Empire, situated on the east bank of the Tigris opposite modern Mosul, Iraq."  Nahum 1:11 reveals this antichrist comes from Nineveh.  This is an actual geographical location.  And it's actual destruction will come on the day of the Lord.  

Map of the historical Assyrian Empire.  It arise again, crawling out of the pit at the time of the end . Rev. 9:17,12   Other historical superpowers from the beginning of history will arise from the pit too with Assyria. They are listed in Ezekiel as the Trees of Eden and Pharaoh of Egypt and their armies". (Ezekiel 26-32)

Let's investigate:  "The oracle of Nineveh.  The book of the vision of Nahum..  The Lord is avenging and wrathful.  The Lord takes vengeance on His adversaries, and He reserves wrath for His enemies. Who can stand before His indignation?  Who can endure the burning of His anger?  .... From you (Nineveh) has gone forth One who plotted evil against the Lord, A 'Wicked Counselor' (the antichrist.)"  Nahum 1, selected verses, NASB

Here is current Mosul,  Nineveh.

Let's look at  Scriptures and see what God tells us about The Assyrian (antichrist):

".. I will break the Assyrian in my land, and upon my mountains tread him underfoot;  then shall his yoke depart from off them, and his burden depart from off their shoulders." Is. 14:25 KJ

"It is true, Lord, that the kings of Assyria have destroyed all the nations and their lands." Is. 37:18 NET Bible  The book of Revelation gives us closer insights how this  Assyrian trashes the world through nuclear warfare.  But, Jesus will come again, and restore this earth that will be devastated by war.  He will save the world and make it regenerated with His manifest presence of love. That's called the Millenium. (Rev, Is, etc)

"Woe to the Assyrian, rod of my anger.  In whose hand is the club of my wrath." (Is. NIV)

Mica 5:5 a NASB The end of the matter....  This One (Jesus Messiah) will be our peace when the Assyrian invades our land..".  Jesus will come again and save this world.  All praise be to God.

We know who the antichrist  is, and where he comes from.  It's clearly written in Scripture.  Surprising!   The ultimate defeat of the antichrist is at the Second Coming. (Rev. Ez. 39, Nahum 1)  He will be cast alive into the Lake of Fire by Jesus. (Revelation)

By the way 2 Thessollonians reveal when, the approx. timing signs, this antichrist will be revealed.  But that's another topic for another day God willing.  He is also a man (not an alien.)  Revelation tells us he is the number of a man.  Pretty simple and easy to understand that he, the "beast" antichrist is a human being.  There is six hundred and sixty six of him we're told.  

Hows that possible?  It will be made clear as we approach the time of the end.  It's clear though now that Satan himself has entered into this antichrist "son of perdition" (Thessolonians), just the same way Satan entered into Judas Escariot, that son of perdition. (Gospels)  He actually does die, but comes back to life again. (Rev.)   Hows that possible? I believe God will make that clear at a future date too.  Daniel states that knowledge will abound at that time. And here we are, in the last days.  What a day to be alive in this world.  Even so, Come Lord Jesus.
