The Bible tells us that these things will be attempted. Once they think they have succeeded they will be surprised to learn that they helped bring about their own destruction when Christ returns (not only in spirit) to rule over all.

That’s my take on it all, too.

Though I don’t know the timing.

I think their reign will be a lot more troubled and a LOT shorter than they think.

God has many more surprises up His much bigger sleeves than I think they have any clue of.
