>>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?

CB, sorry to interrupt, but I just have to share this with you. I was watching a program on the Vatican, and the commentator mentioned that the Vatican is built on an ancient pagan burial ground. The burial ground was dedicated to a pagan goddess. It sounded like they said her name was Vaticus(?), I'm not sure of her name, but Vatican is named after her...interesting, huh???
