lol thats alright....

basically that jesus says "But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father."

Ok so if an actual antichrist came first we would know the time Jesus is coming. Fundamentalist say it will be a 7 year tribulation.

But if that were not the case and the mark of the antichrist was recieved by worshiping one self then that means Jesus could return at any time and the antichrist is already here in a sence.

That means we wouldnt see an actual antichrist making fire come down from heaven and so forth.

And it would also sorta make those that teach the rapture correct in the sence that we wont know when Jesus comes back. It will be in the twinkle of an eye. Again if an actual antichrist came to earth (satan in the flesh) we would know when Jesus was coming.

But Jesus says "But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father."

Yes, Desmond and I quite disagreed on matters liturgical (but then again I disagree with quite a few people ). I didn't know he wrote a book on end times, though I'm sure it'd be a good one to read on the subject. I honestly am more worried about my own death than end times, though.

At first glace I think your theory holds water, but I'm not qualified to say either way.

I think eschatology is actually his area of expertise. It was mentioned somewhere during the time he was posting. Called something like "Trials and Tribulations".

But I will also add that if a super ordinary Christ like figure comes to the earth in our time and our body doesnt transform and he says that he is Jesus Christ and blah blah I will not accept him. Even if people inside the church say that it is Him and I have to accept him. Because clearly it would not be Jesus Christ if we were still in our human bodies.
