I have to re-read it myself, but some contemporary interpreters of the book of Revelations believe that his place of origin would be in Europe, perhaps eastern Europe.
Also, I think I may have picked up my copy of the bible at whatever store you picked up yours, Lerk. I think Zimph got an updated 2nd edition or something.
[edit]Here's a bit more after going through some books. According to Daniel, ten nations will emerge from the location of the fourth world empire that has risen and fallen - the four being Babylon, Medo-Persia, Greece, and Rome. The Roman empire included most of Western Europe. These ten nations will organize a political and/or economic union, and from this, the anti-christ will emerge as one of its leaders. [/edit]
