7 years? Or is it more exact to say 3 and a half?I didn't say how many years...But since you mention it, the pope will work at bringing peace for 3 1/2 years while sitting on the throne of David in Jerusalem...He will die and come back to life...He will reign for another 3 1/2 years murdering Jews and Christian while the plagues of God are poured out upon the earth...
It sounds good, but there is a major problem with it. 2 Thess. 2:6-7 says ""And you know what restrains him now, so that in his time he will be revealed. For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only he who now restrains will do so until he is taken out of the way." Basically, Anti Christ will not be revealed until after the Church (and with it the restraining ministry of the Holy Spirit) is removed from this world.
Now, I understand the Rapture can happen at any time... certainly before the date set for the meeting at the Vatican...
