yeah Antichrist is not on the World Stage Yet or that, also The Thing that makes the Antichrist Come out is When Russia and Her alies the arabs try to attack israel, that will happen but right now Russia is on Ukraine
Um no. You are propagating pre-millennial dispensationalism. A view of the 'end-times" that only became mainstream starting in 1909 with the publication of the Scofield Reference Bible. The first Bible to have footnotes on eschatology in it and to push the fringe idea of rapture over the established idea of essentially taking dominion because.... GOD WINS. The Christian men that founded this nation didn't do so under the belief that the world would be destroyed. They did so because they knew that Jesus is seated at the right hand of the Father making all His enemies His footstool.
Revelation was about the complete destruction of Jerusalem in 70AD by Rome. Exactly in the same generation Jesus said it would happen. And it was Biblical. All the cups of wrath poured out from sickness, to demons, to the sun being blacked out, to the streets running with blood. It was the most horrific localized judgment in history.
Guess who the only people to survive were? Christians. How? Because when they saw the "abomination of desolation" (aka Roman armies since Rome had 7 hills with 7 governors = 7 headed 7 horned beast) surrounding the city they fled to the mountains. (See histories of Josephus)
Oh and the beast? Nero Cesar who's image was on all the money. Even his name in Hebrew letters (which are also numbers) equaled 666. He was burning Christians alive on stakes to light his dinner parties at night. aka Roman Candles.
The Rapture and the belief that there's nothing we can do and this battle is God's alone is the greatest lie the devil has ever gotten the church to believe. "In the last days it will be like the days of Noah." Who was swept of the Earth in the days of Noah? Only the wicked that were not in the ark (which was symbolic of Christ)
God wins. He uses us to do so. He doesn't take us away and finish the fight Himself. As the Gospel grows and His law goes forth throughout the Earth the enemy looses more ground until Jesus comes in FINAL judgment. Then that's it. It's a wrap.
If you think you're gonna get raptured away at any time are you gonna be following the great commission and taking over every part of society and government? Are you going to start projects that your great grandchildren will need to finish? Or are you going to be neutered and almost celebrate when you see things get worse? I know what I see as fruit from churches that hold the pre-mill view and it's weak. While small Post-mill churches are out there fighting BIG fights and winning. It's night and day.
If you think you're gonna get raptured away at any time are you gonna be following the great commission
I don’t personally subscribe to the idea of rapture. Nevertheless, it’s possible for someone to believe in the rapture and to believe that they should be obedient to Jesus and follow the great commission. I don’t see why those two ideas have to be mutually exclusive.
and taking over every part of society and government?
Did you intend to link this idea to the great commission? I’m wondering where this idea comes from Biblically, if you don’t mind me asking.
The Earth is part of our commission. Jesus's blood bought ALL of it. Government, media, education, art, farming, business, **everything ** belongs to Christ and we are the stewards. What do you think taking dominion means exactly?
Jesus is the King of kinds. This is His Earth and we are His servants. What kind of servant doesn't serve his Master in every part of his Masters kingdom?
I can't recommend this book enough that goes very much in depth on the subject. It's practically required reading at a few reformed churches that are having a huge impact on the world like Apologia, the church behind EndAbortionNow.com and much of the abortion abolition legislation being pushed throughout the country.

Here's a playlist of sermons, talks, explanations, and debates on this if you want to learn more about what Christians believed for almost 2000 years about the "end times" https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLm4vxYfDpoYaWjqK76eZukIyKtyX5Xa-J
