It is very easy to be deceived if you believe in the chiliastic 1000 year heresy, or if you believe in the rapture. Also, the devil doesn’t play fair. You think the antichrist will just use rational arguments? He will use them, of course, but he will also hypnotize people, and preform false miracles of all kinds. All who hope in miracles will fall for him too. The only people that won’t be fooled will be those advanced in the practice of the Jesus prayer, those who, with their whole being, in deed and word and thought, hope only on God, on Jesus Christ.
