This post, too, as a follow up is interesting to read. The passage above "many people would come along in the spirit of the antichrist" tends to support my non-theological, unresearched, purely anecdotal theory that every generation faces a "end-times" scenario.
Blessed made a good point in about post# 95 that since not even Satan knows the day or time of Christ's return, there is an anti-christ for every generation, ie Hitler.
