So to you, it does not feel like the tribulation period? after it the antichrist will rule for a short period, and then Christ will return and slay the beast, the dragon gets chained and Christ rules the earth for 1000 years. After that 1000 years is when the end actually comes and is the end for satan after he is released one last time to take as many with him... I often think what if we are living in the period after satanhas been released for a second time, what a twist would that be, but I'm leaning more towards tribulation and the emergence of the antichrist. Is anyone's guess really? Only God knows.
