——>It the Bible says so, then it is so. Everything else is nonsense.
The bible SAYS that the Little Horn Antichrist power comes out of Pagan ROME, and lasts until the second coming of Christ. Saying that he/it shows up in the last 7 years is NONSENSE.
Why do you keep avoiding this important teaching? Oh, yeah, because it proves that the PTR theory is ridiculous (actually Satanic).
The Reformers accused the Papacy of being the Little Horn/Antichrist power. The Papacy SPECIFICALLY came up with FUTURISM (and Preterism), the beginnings of the PTR theory, in order to deflect this criticism....this was part of the COUNTER REFORMATION.

Do you think it is possible that one can receive Revelation from the Word of God? That by studying the Living Word, and allowing the Holy Spirit to guide and help you understand, that the Word can reveal the Truth to your spirit?
I say that only as a preface to my own experience. I knew nothing of Rome's attempts to confuse. I did not know McDonald, Scofield, Darby - or read anything they had written about the End Times. I simply studied the Word for myself, knowing that what was being taught from the pulpit and the lectures in college made absolutely no sense. The Body of Christ has NO place in the time of JACOB's Trouble!
Theologians who are purposely attempting to deceive are not folks I would look to for Biblical Truth. But perhaps God used them in some way - although I doubt it.
If you rightly divide the Word, identify the three groups on Earth now, and the current dispensation, everything starts to fall in place. And if you have taken the time to discover who you are in Christ, and where you are in the Body (Romans through Colossians) THEN you are ready for the Truth found in Thessalonians. If you are a spiritual babe, running around in your diapers with a religious sippy cup drinking milk, you are NOT ready for the meat.
Once you receive God's Revelation of Jesus coming for his Body, you can't unsee it. Its in your heart to stay.
If you want to read more, here are two blogs, where I provide my Biblical understanding for the Rapture. I promise, it did not come from Rome, Jesuits, or anyone else. It was right where the Holy Spirit placed it in the Word through Paul. Anyone with ears to hear and eyes to see will discover the Truth there.
Its The End Of The World As We Know It
