Holy moly . . . .

Daniel 7:20 And of the ten horns that were in his head, and of the other which came up, and before whom three fell; even of that horn that had eyes, and a mouth that spake very great things,
whose look was more stout than his fellows.Ok, DO NOT mention ANY names in this thread please!
I don't think I've ever seen this discussed, but I find this verse about the appearance of the antichrist interesting. It looks like he is going to be a big fat and/or heavyset dude.
====
Ok. It's just that the idea of a charismatic A/C who is also overweight just didn't seem to fit in my mind.
====
That said, the two possible candidates in my mind that will remain unnamed actually fit this description. One of mine fits that description. He's short and stocky.
====
In Dutch it is translated as: wiens aanzien groter was dan....
Meaning a.o. that he was higher in ranking than the others. Probably more clever..? Charismatic? Even more listened to, because of his clever solutions?
Compare the wisdom of Achitofel one of David's couselors.
In a higher position. Don't forget that he will get all power of satan...
Have a look yourself for more in the ISA.
Google this program and download it. Very handy.

roly-poly and not so holy.
Anyone know if *Fatty McButterpants* = 666 ??

I know who I am thinking about...
====
I know who you are all thinking of - Lol's - but I don't know if it could be him. I was standing I think like right next to him at the Ritz Carlton in Philadelphia PA I think in the year 2000 - One problem maybe, is he might be around my height like 5'10" - but that sure makes for an interesting possiblity.
I was so mad at myself for the longest time, because when I was standing next to/in front of him, outside off the entrance to the Hotel, I wanted to say to him so bad, "Do You Believe in Jesus" or something very simiar, but I chickened out, and was so mad at myself...I'm not naming any names but he was at the Ritz Carlton at that time because of the National Republican Convention I would say - lol's
====
so he wont be a girly man?
====
I can't say I've ever pictured him as a rotund sort of man either.
====
Ok, I think most of us are assuming stout=fat. Stout can mean larger build too....think in-shape football player.
====
I am thinking since Jesus was not an attractive man in the flesh, and we all know Satan loves to mimic Jesus, perhaps he will not be too attractive either but will still stand out in his own way.
====
This thread made me think of the verse in Daniel that says the AC will not "regard the desire of women". I know many believe this means he could be homosexual or just not interested in women.
However, I was looking up different Hebrew and Greek meanings for the word "regard" and one was "to feel/feel". If you look at the verse in that context, it could mean that women would not be physically attracted to him. It would fit with metroames' line of thought in the original post. He would not "feel the desire of women" because he's stout/hefty.
====
In my honest opinion, I believe the anti-christ will come out of almost nowhere. He will be a non descript man out of the EU with almost zero noteriety until after the Church is raptured. Then, his popularity will erupt as the "restrainer is taken out of the way" and his true purpose is allowed to begin its influence.
====
Sort of like how Nicolae Carpathia was in the Left Behind series.
====
And who says Jesus isn't good looking? I personally love a man with a beard, Jesus included! Ha.
