Is the Antichrist coming from Europe—or does ancient biblical prophecy point somewhere else entirely?

In Part 1 of this special two-part conversation on The Ryan Files, host Ryan sits down with pastor, author, and eschatology researcher Ryan Speakman (These Final Days Ministries) to dismantle decades of misinterpretation surrounding end-times prophecy. Together, they take a deep dive into the biblical identity of the Antichrist, examining ancient texts, historical empires, and archaeological discoveries across the Middle East.

From the Genesis 3 prophecy of the serpent’s seed to the "King of the North" narrative in Daniel 11, this discussion uncovers forgotten biblical clues that point toward the final days.

In this episode, we explore:

• The Biblical Titles of the Antichrist: Tracing the line from Genesis to Revelation.

• The "Prince of the Covenant" Distinction: Why the figure in Daniel 9 isn't who you think it is.

• The King of the North: How the ancient Seleucid Empire defines the territory of the final lawless one.

• The Mystery of the Tribe of Dan: Why Dan was omitted from the 144,000 in Revelation 7 and what early Church Fathers like Irenaeus knew about this lineage.

• Boots on the Ground at Tel Dan: Firsthand research from the counterfeit Temple Mount, golden calves, and ancient pagan altars in Northern Israel.
