Is King Abdullah of Jordan the Antichrist?

I don't believe so.  I believe the Antichrist will come from Europe.  Plus, outside of the United States, Jordan is Israel's biggest ally which is odd since Jordan is an Arab country.  One of the requirements for the Antichrist is he must hate Israel.  King Abdullah likes Israel, so he's out of the running.

Jordan put their diplomatic relations with Israel on hiatus for several months last year due to the Gaza war. If that's what your second-best ally does, you're in deep Inks. Arguably, Egypt is on better terms with them at this point, since General Sisi has a shared interest in neutralizing Hamas.

I'm not sure what "likes Israel" means. Then again, Jeff considers the acquaintances he goes to church with who apparently won't even help him move out of his apartment to be "friends" so the bar must be quite low. Outside of the United States, Canada, Australia and the UK, the governments of pretty much every other country in the world have either an indifferent/meh attitude towards Israel (most of continental Europe; Jordan; Egypt; East Asia) or some degree of visceral hatred or paranoia (Africa; the Islamic World; most of South America).

In the Christian part of Africa plenty of countries have a positive view of Israel - African Christian fundamentalists are pro-Israeli and they are a growing influence on governments. Even some Muslim countries in Africa are fairly positive towards Israel. Many African countries have problems with Islamist militant groups and tend to view the tough Israeli stance against Hamas in a positive light.

I'm talking about governments of countries, not the populations at large. Pretty much every African country recognizes the State of Palestine and a considerable number do not recognize Israel. The Arab/Muslim North African countries have an obvious reason for not doing so, but for sub-Saharan Africa, the issue is often seen as one of supporting a fellow Third World/Non-aligned state (Palestine) against a Western/industrialized one (Israel).
