Actually its not Gods will to see the Antichrist rise to power. He just knows man will someday succumb to evil. We are a weak, pathetic and greedy species. The fact that the Israel election is even a close race tells you everything you need to know.
It’s ENTIRELY his plan for dealing with the evil in the world and with Satan. God lets evil come to its fullest, so that he can judge it. In fact God even REMOVES CHRISTIANS from the world so that they don’t interfere with the Antichrist coming to power FULLY. It’s definitely God’s plan so that he will be able to “deal with it”!
Amen. And the idea that God removes the righteous to allow evil to triumph is Calvinism in its most extreme form. He may not always intervene to save the righteous because doing so would curtail the free will of the evil, but ultimately, the evil will war against each other and the righteous will prevail.
