AC RISES FROM ONE OF 4 KINGDOMS!
 Daniel's Third Vision indicates not just the rise of the AC, but even his geographical origins. He foresaw 300 years before it happened, in 600 B.C., how Alexander's Empire would arise and then divide into 4 smaller kingdoms:

The Angel who gave Daniel the vision explained to him:
"in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors are come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences, shall stand up!"
In the Endtime, Daniel saw the Antichrist grow up out of one of these four powers. From one of these kingdoms the Antichrist's power and influence is supposed to grow enormously in Southern and Eastern direction and toward Israel! Thus he may either rise straight from the Northern Kingdom or Russia, or as some believe first from the Southern Kingdom and then become the King of the North afterwards!

In a vision the late seer Jeane Dixon saw a man she believed to be the AC rise out of Egypt, but also some Bible scholars believe-that either he or his false Prophet will claim that he "fulfills" the Messianic Bible prophecies which were written for, and fulfilled by Jesus! As for example, Hosea 11:1,

So we'll have to wait and see who or what rises out of Egypt!

Dannion Brinkley saw in a vision during a Near Death Experience, how a biological engineer from the Middle East, who discovered special biological viral chip-implants, became instantly famous and received powers "as a god", and also how Egypt was finally taken over by fundamentalist Moslems.
If that's so, perhaps this will cause the AC to have to leave from there, and to move to the North (Russia?) and become "King of the North!" (Note that Ancient Egypt also included parts of Lybia by the way!)

DANIELS 3^rd VISION
According to this vision of Daniel, the Grecian Empire of Alexander the Great, pictured as a goat, would be divided up into 4 smalller empires. History shows that after Alexander's death, he was succeeded by his 4 generals who made an agreement between them, and divided the empire into four.

The vision pictured Greece as a goat that had defeated a ram--Medo Persian Empire! The goat had "one notable horn"--Alexander--which was replaced by four smaller horns, and out of one of these smaller horns, grew a "little horn"

 
This little horn is the Antichrist, who will "magnify himself" against Jesus and His followers, and "throw the Truth to the ground."-The Gospel! Next he will profane the soon to be built Jewish temple in Jerusalem and take away the ritual slaughter of the Orthodox Jewish religion--the "Daily Sacrifice"--and will "make war on the Saints."
Daniel describes the Antichrist here, as a deceitful, fierce-faced, witchcraft-powered worldleader, who will persecute and try to slaughter the millions of born-again children of God, as well as outlaw and speak against all religions worldwide! He will blaspheme Jesus Christ, but soon after come to his end.

THE BIBLE. Daniel Chapter 8
3 ...I lifted up mine eyes, and saw, and, behold, there stood before the river a ram which had two horns: and the two horns were high; but one was higher than the other, and the higher came up last.
5 And as I was considering, behold, an he goat came from the west on the face of the whole earth, and touched not the ground: and the goat had a notable horn between his eyes.
7 And I saw him come close unto the ram, and he was moved with choler against him, and smote the ram, and brake his two horns: and there was no power in the ram to stand before him, but he cast him down to the ground, and stamped upon him: and there was none that could deliver the ram out of his hand.
8 Therefore the he goat waxed very great: and when he was strong, the great horn was broken; and for it came up four notable ones toward the four winds of heaven.
9 And OUT OF ONE OF THEM came forth a little horn, which waxed exceeding great, toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the pleasant land. (ISRAEL!)
10 And it waxed great, [even] to the host of heaven; and it cast down [some] of the host and of the stars to the ground, and stamped upon them. 11 Yea, he magnified himself even to the prince of the host, and by him the daily sacrifice was taken away, and the place of his sanctuary was cast down.
12 And an host was given him against the daily sacrifice by reason of transgression, and it cast down the truth to the ground; and it practised, and prospered.
13 Then I heard one saint speaking, and another saint said unto that certain saint which spake, How long shall be the vision concerning the daily sacrifice, and the transgression of desolation, to give both the sanctuary and the host to be trodden under foot?
14 And he said unto me, Unto two thousand and three hundred days; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed.

INTERPRETATION
17 So he came near where I stood: and when he came, I was afraid, and fell upon my face: but he said unto me, Understand, O son of man: for at the time of the end shall be the vision.
19 And he said, Behold, I will make thee know what shall be in the last end of the indignation: for at the time appointed the end shall be.
20 The ram which thou sawest having two horns are the kings of Media and Persia.
21 And the rough goat is the king of Grecia: and the great horn that is between his eyes is the first king.
22 Now that being broken, whereas four stood up for it, four kingdoms shall stand up out of the nation, but not in his power.
23 And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors are come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences, shall stand up.
24 And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power: and he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper, and practise, and shall destroy the mighty and the holy people.
25 And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand.
26 And the vision of the evening and the morning which was told is true: wherefore shut thou up the vision; for it shall be for many days.
27 And I Daniel fainted, and was sick certain days; afterward I rose up, and did the king's business; and I was astonished at the vision, but none understood it.
