Satan's forces have always been working in high gear. He is an indefatigable angel. His minions have always been working hard too.
The "end times." It's evocative of SUCH visions. No one knows when it will be and we only have our Bible to tell us about the Prince of Darkness and Evil. Many cultures who have had horrendous things happen have brought for this horrible image of "end times."
It will come in God's good time.
You are 100% correct about abortion being a tentacle of the antiChrist. It is, perhaps, one of his worst tentacles--attempting to convince a woman to murder her own baby while it's in her womb. Nothing worse! And, it IS her own choice. Satan can't MAKE her do it. He just whispers in her heart. No wonder God damned him to Hell for eternity.
So odd. God KNEW that His creation of angels would produce Satan, yet He still created the Prince of Darkness.
