Its in southern Jordan. It has a very narrow entrance and is a city built into a Rock.
Revelation 17:8 The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.
The beast currently in the bottomless pit that was, and is not - where is that person from ?
And when does he ascend out of the bottomless pit during the 70th week?
And what does this mean "continue a short space" regarding King 7 ?
10 And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space.
11 And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.

The little horn will be King 7 descended from the Roman line of Julio-Claudians - not an Assyrian. He becomes the Anti-Christ, the King of Israel. After the person is killed and brought back to life - he continues the short space as the beast - because the beast - who is associated as being assyrian and tied to the tower of babel - will ascend out of the bottomless pit to possess him.
Where is Assyria? This is the Assyrian captivity at the time of those passages in the Tanach. Where was the tower of Babel?

You are confusing the Man and the Demon. One is the 7th King the other is the 8th King. The Demon will live in he Anti-Christs body at the mid-way point of the Final week.
I don't know what to say to somebody who calls President Kennedy, Senator Kennedy, when he is in the white house. You are misusing the title "the Antichrist". You have a dull eschatology pencil that badly needs sharpening.
The Beast, Ant-Christ, Man of Sin, the Assyrian, its all the same person. A man. He becomes possessed at the 3 1/2 year Mark.
Yes, if a man is possessed and Alive, doesn't he live and the Demon live in him ? The Anti-Christ is going to be a Man, Satan is going to possess the Anti-Christ, who will still be alive.
I am saying to you the person is first the little horn
You see, I do not think that Israel accepts anyone as their Messiah accept Jesus, this happens right before the Mid-way point in the 70th Week. There is basically nowhere that says or implies this. Malachi says that Elijah will turn Israel back to God before the Great and Terrible Day of the Lord. Zechariah 12:10 says Israel turns back to their Messiah, Zechariah 13:1 says that a Fountain (Jesus' Blood) is Opened to Israel for Sins and Uncleanness. Daniel tells of the Daily sacrifice being taken away, but the scripture only says the daily is taken away. There was an evening and a morning sacrifice, so this was common knowledge. Once Israel accepts Jesus, that daily Sacrifice is going to be Jesus, and Jesus and the worshiping of him will be forbidden by the Anti-Christ.
Revelation 9:1-11
The beast [Abaddon/Apollyon] coming out of the bottomless pit, will play all these roles in the sequence you presented....
I wouldn't put too much stock into the number of a seat, it is said to be the number of a Man, whatever that means.
Why would a vial be poured out in Rev. 21 when NJ is coming down and all the Seven vials have already been poured out ?
What that mean is that they [political leaders of the EU] wait for the AC ...to occupy that seat Number 666.
The first part of your statement that you don't believe the Antichrist will be the Jewish perceived messiah (in error of course) - I acknowledge that you don't believe it. The second part is like saying there is no such thing as the Antichrist coming. How were them in 1John2:18 already aware that antichrist is coming, what was their basis ?
A fake Christ is the opposite of an Anti-Christ. Anti-means opposed to or against a particular person or idea, why do you all insist they are going to be a False or Fake Messiah ? Man of Sin is the Opposite of Jesus Christ, Man of Lawlessness is the opposite of Jesus Christ, Little Horn is described as having many characteristics that is just the opposite of Jesus Christ.
Many Anti-Christs means all in the world that oppose Jesus. That is real simple, you see an Atheist, he is Anti-Christ. That has nothing do with the Man of Sin who is possessed by Satan himself. They make a Deal with Israel, that is shown in Daniel.
Paul doesn't call the revealed man of sin - the Antichrist - for good reason. So them in 1john2:18 who were already aware that antichrist shall come - was not based upon anything Paul wrote.
The Man of Sin is the Anti-Christ. No one calls the man the Anti-Christ as far as that goes, they call him the Assyrian, the Little Horn, the Man of Sin, the Beast, the Man of Lawlessness etc. I understand that Christ means Messiah, which means the Promised Deliverer. Yeshua or Jesus means Salvation. I am well informed on these meanings.
Paul also doesn't say the Man of Sin is the Antichrist. You are doing that in error.
The number 666, the number of his name is a sum based on numberic equivalents of the letters in his name. The rule of thumb of the significance of something in Scripture is you go to the first mention of it. With the number six it the day God made man, six is the human number. When you see the beast arise it I'd out of a stormy sea of humanity. The beast is the monster We made.
