“Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day (the Day of the Lord – the time of Tribulation) will not come unless the falling away comes first, (apostasy) and the man of sin (the Antichrist) is revealed, the son of perdition, who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God. Do you not remember that when I was still with you, I told you these things? And now you know what is restraining, that he (the Antichrist) may be revealed in his own time. For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only He (the Holy Spirit) who now restrains will do so until He is taken out of the way. And then the lawless one (the Antichrist) will be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the breath of His mouth and destroy with the brightness of His coming.” (2 Thessalonians 2:3-8)

When the Holy Spirit ceases to restrain the rise of evil, the antichrist will take control of most of the world, be killed, Satan will inhabit his body, and for the last 1260 days of this age, i.e., until Jesus returns to the earth and destroys him, he will rule the whole world.

As each angel blew his trumpet, John saw terrifying plagues unfold, and he used powerful symbolic language to try to describe what he was witnessing.

John took another parenthesis in the last part of chapter 10 and the first part of chapter 11 as he saw another mighty Angel coming down out of heaven, and looking at John’s seven-fold description of this angel’s appearance, we can only conclude that it was the Lord Jesus.
