Satan will be revealed and the false prophet. It does not matter about doctrine or theology, nor how humans today interpret doctrine or theology. Why are you worried about how humans think any way? We should be preaching the Gospel as: The death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Nothing else matters now.You're kidding, right?
2 Thess 2:1-4
2:1 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him,
2 That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.
3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.
KJV
That's just making excuses to hold onto a tradition of men that is not written in God's Word. Obeying Jesus' command to 'watch' the Signs leading up to His 2nd coming has nothing to do with worry. He gave us those Signs so we WOULDN'T worry!
But the doctrine of men you follow is what has you worrrying, otherwise you wouldn't be so scared to actually believe the Scriptures about the end as they are written instead of some 'fly away' theory that began to be preached by some man in 1830s Britain.
All the signs have happened over the last 150 years. Now the seals are being opened and the next one is seal 4. The seals deal with opening the Lamb's book of life. Those sealed in the Atonement by the Holy Spirit. Every name has been sealed since day six to the last human born in the next few years. But Jesus says woe to them who give birth at this time. This time is the same time Jesus lived, because Jesus will have disciples again just as the first time. This time it will involve the whole earth, not just Palestine. This time the goats and sheep, the wheat and tares will be harvested because the church age is over. It ends at the 7th seal. The church has persevered all the way up to the end. Not much time is left to persevere. The end comes when God on the throne and the Lamb appear to all on the earth. Then Satan will deal directly with God and Jesus Christ. All humanity on earth will deal directly with God and Jesus Christ. They will also forget that God does exist and go about their ways in the remaining judgments of the book of Revelation. It will be just like the children of Israel at Mt. Sinai. In the very presence of God, they will still create their own reality and reject God to His face.
Only the church can repent and prepare for God's coming to bring a worldwide revival before that event. Only the church will be the one who failed when billions die in their sins. The church does not see the need for revival. They are waiting for the Antichrist to lead them.
