I’ve also come to relate the communist movement to the building of the kingdom of the AC.
When he comes to power, the consolidation and centralization of power will be nearly complete - under the rule of 10 regions if I remember correctly - then he’ll take over and these 10 “horns” turn their power over to him.
I’m pre-trib for the same reasons you’ve listed - the HS must be gone before he can appear, etc.
Plus with communism it is easy to see how a day’s wages will not be enough even to buy our daily bread. The ruling class appetite is never satisfied ~ they never think they have enough.
cuban leaf ~ I only added the line regarding Mormonism due to your comment. Was that supposed to be some kind of test?
