26. I don't know whose translation of Revelation they're reading
But any version of the Bible I have read says nothing at all specific about the age, ethnicity, or religious background of the Antichrist. Some have assumed that he would be Jewish, because Jesus was Jewish. A lot of the fundies look at the verses in Revelation and in Daniel which seem to imply that the Antichrist's world empire would be a revival of the Roman empire, which would mean the AC would be a European leader. In the popular "Left Behind" book series, they make the guy a Romanian, for some reason.

But if any US presidents ever had a shot at being the Antichrist, it would have been either

RONALD - 6
WILSON - 6
REAGAN - 6

or

GEORGE - 6
WALKER - 6
BUSHJR - 6

Revelation does mention a "first Beast" and a "second Beast". Maybe the Antichrist is already here?
