The antichrist is coming, of that I have no doubt. All one has to do is look at the pattern of things in the past 30 years, watch how fast society is
changing towards the 2012 date and take the progression of the ages seriously. Watch the trends in the news media and the way people think (paying
close attention to irrational thoughts en mass or inflated / backward thinking) in order to get a feel for how people are being manipulated and
prepared.
From reading and putting together the Bible, Revelations, Nostradamus and knowing a bit about the religion behind the other world religions and a bit
of intuition, I am going to differ on your opinion about the next 1000 years. The anti-christ's reign will probably last about 30 years, and it will
not be as golden as everyone (predictably at this moment in time, since he has to rise and be supported) thinks Satan is. This particular theme, that
Satan is wonderful, is definitely in accordance with the time period. It is interesting how it arrived just on time, and how society changed itself
just on time, to me that makes other prophecies that much more reliable.
However, Satan's rule will not be wonderful. It will probably be about enslaving the population and taking away freedom to think for oneself. The
antichrist will be able to get away with a lot of horrible atrocities that his followers will praise as wonderful, even while they condemn the
groupthink that caused Christ's followers to do similar things and use that for justification for their atrocities (which makes no sense, since this
is illogical that means it will in the following time period be used against their philosophy).
HOWEVER, all one needs to do is look at the newest generation of college-age students to realize that they are being prepared to be a slave race that
does no critical thinking or thinking of their own and follows orders unquestionably, without understanding the workings enough to realize they are
being tricked. This does not mean the generation after them, or the one after that, will be groomed this way. They will probably naturally become
groomed to destroy the reign of the antichrist, and think for themselves.
At any rate, assuming that the antichrist does show up, this also brings into question the reality of the afterlife, souls and such. Isn't it the
greatest atrocity of all to mess with an entity's eternal life and freedom?
Continuing on, to me, everything is pointing to the antichrist playing a role he has set out to play. It will be an interesting ride, if one has the
freedom to look at it that way during the evil and suppressive time period. Like the OP said, it is already written in history. The antichrist will
fall after 30 years. Remember that if the reader of this ever needs hope for the future.
It is pretty simple how the fall will occur. The new philosophy will not be sustainable, and will not be what it seems to be. In other words, it will
be a lie. The lie will not be able to last forever, but in order to enforce it, the antichrist will need to use POWER to force people to believe
things contrary to their nature and the nature of the universe with fear. All of the energy taken to force people to his unnatural viewpoint, and the
corruption in his own system, will eventually lead to a failed state. Not only will the antichrist be attacked from within his own organization by
other evil beings wishing to take power for themselves, his own Kingdom will begin to decay as there will not be enough resources to hold it together.
At this point, many atrocities will come to light and then it will be a simple matter of people fighting for freedom, justice and truth grouping
together to take out their evil oppressors. At this point, it is likely that no one will support the antichrist on the inside, but will not believe it
possible to take down his organization.
But it is written. There will be war, and that is when a new ruler and philosophy, not Satan's, will rule the next 1000 years and the truth will come
out about how the antichrist's atrocities made him and his philosophy evil.
