When is the Antichrist going to show up? (to John Tng)
https://www.fivedoves.com/rapture/2024/antichristshowsup.html
I would like to thank John for highlighting this question, especially knowing that the answer may be very, very soon!! However events evolve, the coincidence of Christmas and Hannukah seems a very strong sign!! The incredible numbers presented are truly remarkable, and I appreciate John noting Bob Ware’s role (now in glory!!). Some key reference verses are from 2 Thessalonians (below NKJV).
(2 Thessalonians 2: 1-4) Now, brethren, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him, we ask you, 2 not to be soon shaken in mind and troubled, either by spirit or by word or by letter, as if from us, as though the day of Christ had come. 3 Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition, 4 who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.
As a (now retired) Economist, one point I wish to note is that the MARK of the Beast may not be able to be fully implemented until the Antichrist controls the world economy: something that will happen and then it will be the MARKET of the Beast!!
While I may be in a minority, I believe that two key players will emerge before the Day of the Lord: the revealing of the Antichrist (as in Thessalonians above) and the coming of the end-time Elijah (Malachi 4:5). Some years ago Ken Mentell released a book titled as below: I have not had the opportunity to read the book, but there is a link to it below and an overview!!
The Antichrist is very much alive today, and his revealing is imminent! John’s question is a warning: events are happening quickly in Israel, the World and the Church!! Looking up!!

Elijah vs Antichrist: The End-Time Battle
by Format: Kindle Edition (August 2016)
https://www.amazon.com.au/Elijah-Antichrist-End-Time-Battle-Restoring-ebook/dp/B01LBZUJPI
(Overview) The most robust and complete end-time prophecy commentary series of our time. In the end-time a final battle will commence between Elijah and the Antichrist! Jesus said, "Elijah truly shall first come, and restore all things." Will you listen to Elijah or to the Antichrist?
If you enjoyed "The Elijah Calling" by Ken Mentell you are going to love Book Two in the "Restoring Truth" series. The mark and image of the Beast cannot properly be understood without an accurate scriptural understanding of the Image of God, our now fallen and broken Image, and the role of the Messiah to restore the Image of God.
Just as this pattern was fulfilled by Adam and Eve, by all Creation, by Israel, by Jesus Christ…it will also be fulfilled in the End-Time called the Day of the Lord. To properly understand the choices, you will be forced to make, you need to understand your true state as defined by the Bible. This end-time Battle cannot be escaped, it will fall on all creation, and every man, woman, and child will be forced into a choice.
It will demand every bit of your attention, and every emotion of your being. It will determine your fate. Don’t be surprised…this battle has been raging for 6,000 years and will culminate in a choice…just like Eve had to make! What will you do? Will you switch on the football game or will you wake up to a reality that existed all around you that you had chosen to ignore because the deception was so entertaining? Which mark will you take the Image of the Beast or the Image of God?
