>> “The anti Christ is in power for SEVEN years.” <<
.
But his mark comes into effect only for the last 3.5 years. That is the great tribulation. That is when he stands on the mercy seat, and Satan assumes control, and he declares himself to be God.
That is when millions that refuse the mark either are starved to death or beheaded.
Really, there is no indication of exactly how long antichrist is in power, but we will not even know that he is antichrist until he performs the identifying abomination.
Yeah right.
Daniel 9:27 And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.
Not until he performs the identifying abomination ey?
