I know the antichrist will come out of the EU, but you think Germany specifically? You might be right. Because one of the animals of the beast is the leopard which represents Germany. But there are other animals, so why Germany? I'm asking because I am getting the impression that it might be, but that's not good for me to just go on that. I need something more concrete from the Bible - you might have able to see it so please give me your reason for thinking so.
I've been reading "The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich" by William L. Shirer to have some idea of how Hitler came to power and duped his nation into following him into the second worst time in history (the first will be the great tribulation that Jesus predicted is still to come). I'm learning a lot about his mindset - it's very violent and hateful, but cunning in politics too. He recognized the people he can use, and butter them up until he didn't need them anymore. I think the antichrist will be like that too.
There's also the people - very prideful for some reason maybe because of their accomplishments. Could the whole world be wooed in this way too? Anyway, it's a long book. I'm still only up to the early 1930s when the Nazi party was gaining strength and Hitler is about to become chancellor.....
The current chancellor of Germany is Fredrich Merz, but we should also look at the leaders of the EU and their MPs. The next election for them is in 2029. If the antichrist is revealed in the early 2030s, he is probably in this group.

We have had two world wars with Germany, 3 is the number God uses as compete or it final, there will be a third and that is what the 4th Seal is --- World War Three,
next Assyria IS Germany
Isaiah 10
5 O Assyrian, the rod of mine anger, and the staff in their hand is mine indignation.
Assyria is the nation that took the House of Israel into captive. God will use once more this evil nation to punish the House of Israel.
Now, who is the House of Israel today. Great Britain and the U S
All Jews are Hebrews but not all Hebrews are Jews, After Solomon God divided the 12 into the House of Israel, 10 tribes and the House of jew-dah, 2 tribes Judah and Benjamin.
Very very few will agree with the above -- I proved this to myself 50 years ago and never found anything in the Word that changed my mind.
He might arise well before 2030, things are moving fast now. The Two witnesses may come at the same time
