I don't think so but I'm not 100% sure.  Things are bad now but far from the total depths of depraivity mankind is capable of.  It is my opinion that Satan will wait until mankind is more under his sway before the antichrist will come.

That is really strange you have come up with that, my visions have been of the anti-Christ, we are preparing in the astral. I cant say much more about His origins or where he is, I am stricken to that at this time.

Does anyone know which churches have the "Revelations" for the anti-Christ?

I think we've been in the 'end times' for many years, and will be for many more.  It's going to get much much worse.

The Bible says that only God knows when the end will come; even Jesus doesn't know.

So I don't see how people can presume to guess.

~Morticia

According to what I know I feel around 20 years time before it gets serious, I just want to make sure I am prepared. If I was sent here to follow Jesus in his second coming, I want to know what I'm doing.

[Zak Roy Yoballa]

End times or not, each of us may die with in the next hour and we should live like it is our last day.  If you are not sure about where you are going when you die "...I tell you, now is the time of God's favor, now is the day of salvation." 2 Corinthians 6:2.  It's not to late as long as there is life left in you.  The anti-christ may or may not be but it shouldn't affect how you live and who you serve.

Oh believe me, it will not take over my life, it will be more like something simply to read from interest. I find alot of religious texts interesting.

Characteristics of Anti-Christ in the words of Scripture.

His moral characteristics are these.
Isaiah 14: 14 . . He shall say in his heart, I will be like the Most High.
Dan. 8: 25 . . He shall stand up against the Prince of princes.
Dan. 11: 36 . . He shall exalt himself above every god.
2 Thess. 2: 4 . . He shall exalt himself " above all that is called God."
2 Thess. 2: 4 . He shall show himself that he is God.
1 John 2: 22 . . He shall deny both the Father and the Son.
Rev. 13: 6 . . He shall open his mouth in blasphemy against God.
Rev. 17: 3 . . He shall be full of names of blasphemy.

The extent of his power.
Isaiah 14: 16 . . He shall make the earth to tremble, and shall shake kingdoms.
Isaiah 14: 17 . . He shall make the world as a wilderness.
Dan. 7: 25 . . Times and laws shall be given into his hand.
Dan. 8: 9 . . He shall wax exceeding great.
Dan. 8: 24 .. His power shall be mighty.... He shall destroy wonderfully.
Dan. 11: 36 . . He shall do according to his will
Dan. 11: 40 . . He shall enter into the countries and overflow.
Dan. 11: 42 . He shall stretch forth his hand upon the countries.
2 Thess. 2: 9 . . His coming shall be with all power.
Rev. 13: 7 . . Power shall be given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.
Rev. 17: 13 . . The ten kings shall give their strength and power unto him.

His power will be supported by miracles.
2 Thess. 2: 9 . . His coming shall be after the working of Satan, with all power, and signs, and lying wonders.
Rev. 13: 12 . . He that ministereth in his presence shall do great wonders, so that he shall make fire come down from heaven on the earth, in the sight of men, and shall deceive them that dwell upon the earth by means of these miracles which he shall have power to do.
Rev. 13: 15 . . He shall have power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.

His reception on the earth
Rev 13: 8 . . All that dwell upon the earth shall worship him whose names are not written in the Lamb's book of life.
Rev. 13: 15 . . Whosoever will not worship the image of the beast shall be killed
Rev. 17: 8 . All whose names are not written in the book of life shall wonder.
John 5: 43 . . If another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive.

The place of his manifestation in blasphemy.
Isaiah 14: 13 . . He will sit on the mount of the congregation, on the sides of the north.
Dan. 8: 11 . . He will take away the daily sacrifice.
Dan. 11: 45 . . He will plant the tabernacles of his palace on the glorious holy mountain.
2 Thess. 2: 4 . . He will sit in the temple of God.

He is named-
Isaiah 14: 12 . . "Lucifer," as blasphemously assuming Christ's character of " the morning star."
Isaiah 14: 4 . . "The King of Babylon."
Isaiah 10: 5 . . "Asshur," or "Assyria," as being king over that country.
Dan. 7: 20 . . "The Horn that has eyes," as denoting intelligence and strength.
Isaiah 30: 33 . . "THE KING," for whom Tophet is prepared.

These are his principal names in the Old Testament, where he is always referred to in connection with the Jews. In the New Testament he is called, in contrast to the holiness which is the Church's character, the Man of Sin, or the Wicked One. In Isaiah also he is called the Wicked One-"By the breath of his lips He (the Lord) shall slay the Wicked One." Isaiah 11 (quoted in 2 Thess. 2) In John he is called "the Antichrist," in his special character of opposition to Christ. In the Revelation he is called the Beast, as denoting his moral estimate in the sight of Heaven.

He will be destroyed by no mere human agency.
Dan. 8: 25 . . He shall be broken without hand.
Isaiah 11: 4 . . . The Lord with the breath of his lips shall slay the wicked one.
2 Thess. 2: 8 . . The Lord shall consume him with the breath of his lips, and with the brightness of his coming
Rev. 19: 15, 20. When He cometh forth who shall tread the — wine-press of wrath, the Beast is taken, and cast alive into the lake of fire.

The following connections may also be found useful:

Between Daniel 8. and 9.
8: 25 . . . By peace he shall destroy many.
9: 27 . . . He (the Prince that shall come) shall confirm the covenant with many.
8: 11 . . . He shall take away the daily sacrifice.
9: 27 . . . He shall cause the sacrifice to cease.
8: 19 . . . He shall prosper in the latter end of the indignation.
9: 27 . . . . . . . . till that determined is poured on the desolator.

Between Dan. 8 and 11.
8: 9 .... He waxes great towards the pleasant land.
11: 41 He enters into the glorious land.
8: 17 At the time of the end shall be the vision.

8: 19, 24 . . . He prospers in the last end of the indignation.

If the Christian God is so powerful and loving why would He allow such an entity into the world He created?

[Zak Roy Yoballa]

Or try reading the Bible and let Him tell you.  I'm not being sarcastic or cynical.

ZRY

The Bible ends with an account of Antichrist and Satan’s final doom. From beginning to end, Satan’s (and therefore Antichrist's) existence, His fall, and His opposition to God are all a part of God’s eternal plan for His creation.

The inclusion of Satan in God’s plan raises a problem which must be considered. Simply stated: How is it that a holy God would purpose the existence of Satan, and therefore of sin?

This question can only be answered in relation to the purpose for which the plan was designed. The answer is given early in the Bible in the Book of Exodus. The text which answers the question follows immediately after Israel’s “fall” in the wilderness, while Moses was on the mountain with God. Read Exodus 33, 34.

Satan’s creation, fall, and opposition was all included in God’s plan for creation. Satan’s fall and opposition to God is the instrument by which man fell (Genesis 3). Satan’s existence must be understood in the light of sin and also of God’s plan. God’s plan is to demonstrate His glory. Exodus 33:17--34:7 teaches that God’s glory is displayed in the way God deals with sin. For some, God deals graciously, forgiving them of their sins; for others, God punishes them for their sins. Apart from the existence of sin, the demonstration of God’s glory would not have been possible in its fullest form. Sin is the occasion for God’s glory, and thus He has included it in His plan, along with Satan, its promoter.

The Bible has been written to increase our depth perception--our ability to look behind the immediate source of circumstances to see God, the ultimate source. The kings of Babylon and Tyre were those who opposed God and His people. Behind these men was Satan, the opposer. But behind Satan is a holy, righteous, and compassionate God, who is causing all things to work together for His glory and the good of His children.

Put simply, Satan/Antichrist are the indirect and necessary sources of the "rain" that washes the scum off the streets

And on that day, God shall turn his back on humanity. The skies will open and the heavens will cry a warning. The Constitution will show its flaws, and it will be too late....
