Would you so then, if it were within your grasp to do so, wipe the world clean and force the hand of God as is on par with the known formula of old?
Or if it be offered, would you not rather rejoice in full knowing as a united family before the Day of Reckoning?

Yet I ask; as insignificant and unlikely as it is, would it not be Truly the greatest gift we could bestow upon our Father? Is He not deserving of a welcome-home celebration?
For us to achieve this would go against the very nature of harmony, for the Divine Design was always as such; one Era ends as another begins.
And yet I ask; should we not commit this Titanic Sin in honor and glory of our Creator?
I fear what has led you to this reasoning is likely shared among the people across the Kingdom.
"Grand Scheme"
Titanic Sin
one Era ends as another begins.
And yet I ask; should we not commit this Titanic Sin in honor and glory of our Creator?
No. Simply accept the fact that Corinthians I 15 1-4 is a FACT. Nothing else matters.

I grew up in a fundamentalist household. Most of the messages delivered from the pulpit were about the rapture, which included the tribulation, the rise of the antichrist and the mark of the beast.
According to those teachings, the antichrist would be someone who is charismatic and cunning. His role isn't to stop non-believers from converting to christianity. Instead, he would deceive christians -- the most pious ones -- to have them follow a false version of Christ's teachings. That would be the ultimate deception, would it not, if the antichrist is someone who lures christians into a perverted version of god's teachings?
Today, many christians have made a deal with the devil by turning a blind eye to the sins of the leader of our country. As long as Trump gives them their 40 pieces of silver -- appointing conservative federal judges, giving federal dollars to religious organizations, "stick it to the libs", etc. -- they will support him. At the same time, they will ignore his constant stream of lies, his adultery, and his other transgressions against christian faith.
Are these christians, the ones who turn a blind eye to such an ungodly man, the most susceptible to an antichrist and his or her charms? Are they sinning by not denouncing Trump's behavior? Are they trading their place in paradise for political gain?
The antichrist may drive a wedge between the people and god by making them practice a perverted version of god's teaching. He would be useful so far as revealing who the true believers of christ's message are versus those who do not love their neighbor as they do themselves.
For those reasons, I think the idea of multiple antichrists (or an antichrist and enablers) makes the most sense. The antichrist could be a succession of people -- televangelists, politicians, etc. -- that lead to the final antichrist. Or, the antichrists are many people working at the same time to cause more people to fall away from god.
