How can you trust the sources of the bible? Each book was written by different people, and the bible itself was put together by a committee of sorts by grabbing books they liked and adding it after the torah, or old testament, calling it the new testament.
If these books were prophecies, and they were to come true, how do you know they already havent happened?
The individual books of the bible were written way before the bible was compiled, and by different people altogether.

Good video, it makes sense suppose, but remember for the sake of the topic and that video, even the American presidents are related to the Queen of England, so its still and open book.
Desiring their repentance, the Lord will send down upon them dreadful pestilences, as final, decisive measures for their spiritual restoration. (cf. Saint Andrew of Caesarea, Commentary on the Apocalypse)
But, alas, Sacred Scripture clearly states that those who consciously accept the mark of Antichrist will no longer have any desire to repent.
They will bite their tongues from pain, but even so they will not cease blaspheming God and they will not repent of their deeds (Rev. 16:10-11).
If, among those who bow down before the beast,
there should be some isolated cases of repentance,
this conversion and repentance can be regarded only as a miracle of God. The conscious acceptance of the soul-destroying stamp under the assumption that one can later repent is a terrible and unforgivable sin in the eyes of God.

Therefore, the Apostle emphasize very strongly in their warning about the end of the world that we must beware of deception.
St. Paul says in II Thessalonians 2:9-11: “The coming of the lawless one, by the activity of Satan,
will be with all power and sings and lying wonders… God shall send (that is, allow) a strong delusion, that men should believe a lie.” That is, it will be something very deceptive.
In fact, we know that the elect themselves might be deceived if the times will not be cut short.
Christ Himself warns, in speaking of the last days, that “false Christs and false prophets will arise and show great signs and wonders so as to lead astray, if possible, even the elect” (Matt. 24:24).
And in the Apocalypse, St. John states that the last times will be characterized by “demonic spirits working wonders” (Apoc. 16:14).
SOURCE
In the book of Revelation, the Antichrist is depicted as a beast, coming out of the sea. Some of the characteristics of this monster remind us of the Roman emperors Nero and Domitian, fierce persecutors of Christians in the first century AD.
These emperors were contemporaries of St. John who wrote the book of Revelation. To avoid confusion, one should bear in mind that in the book of Revelation the term beast applies not only to the personal Antichrist but also to the whole governmental machine of his anti-Christian empire (Daniel 7:11 and the first 2 books of Maccabees; Rev. ch 13, 19:19-21).

If God does not allow feel will to be misused ...then he does not allow free will at all.
He will allow the mark to be forced. It is part of his plan to teach arrogant mankind that he is lost when he rejects divine guidance. It is also a time for all souls on earth to choose their future direction. As above , so below.
You choose or reject the physical mark, but you also choose or reject spiritual advancement or stagnation.
How do you conclude that the Antichrist has no children ?
The Book of Isaiah deals with a prophecy of the End Times king of Babylon (Antichrist). Isaiah 14 20 - 21. [you will not join them in burial, for you have destroyed your land and killed your people. The offspring of the wicked will never be mentioned again. Prepare a place to slaughter his sons for the sins of their forefathers; they are not to rise to inherit the land and cover the earth with their cities.
You are correct in that he will be a military leader. At the time of his rise PC will be the leader of the EU, and as such the Commander in Chief of all NATO forces. The US is out of the game as a result of its loss to Russia/China alliance in WW3. The Antichrist, leading NATO will eventually war with the Russia/China alliance and defeat them. He then effectively controls the entire world.
At that time Isaiah was ardently exposing the wrongdoing of the Jewish King, Manasseh.
The impious King placed altars to pagan idols in Solomon’s Temple. However,
at the end of Manasseh’s life,
after being taken captive and put in prison,
he repented and asked God’s forgiveness.
Under the influence of their impious King,
the Jewish people began to completely forget the true God.
The Jews even stopped celebrating the Passover and other feasts established by Moses.
The holy Prophet Isaiah endured a martyr’s death. For exposing the wrongdoing of King Manasseh, he was sawed in two.
Note: See II Kings, chaps. 16 and 18-23; II Chronicles, chaps. 28-35; Book of Isaiah and other prophets.

Not trying to be a smart arse ... just trying to follow your line of reasoning.

One thing that is kinda creepy, how the Bible describes the AC will commit the "abomination of desolation" --- if you type obamanation in google you get thousands of hits, actually hundreds of thousands of hits.

What if one of his sons recieves a head wound, since he is in military? It has a larger percentage of it ocurring than Obama has if Charles sets up an image. Diana had a head wound and died but she never came back and maybe the unholy trinity is all male anyway.

Check this video out - I think it hits the "nail" on the "head". He'd have different dna from the rest of us - the true antichrist?

2) How does the religion he practices, or the church he belongs to influence whether or not he'll be the antichrist?
3) He has more in office political experience than Hillary...
4) There were tons of Republicans and Democrats that failed to contradict Bush - why aren't they also considered potentials?
5) What politician in the U.S. doesn't want power - um, hello?
6) The "Antichrist" as you describe it is actually a fiction, any reasonable amount of research will lead to that conclusion - in fact, I believe the Discovery channel had a show on about the origins of the term...
