1 John-he is the guy the prophesy is being given
1 you-for it says that he who studies this book will be blessed-the only book in the bible which promises that btw.
1 antichrist-seemingly thrust into power-seemingly humble--refered to as the beast. Rev 13:1
1 false prophet-refered to as a lamb with horns that speaks like a dragon or serpent
144,000 jewish converts
4 horsemen
a handful of angels with trumpets,seals and bowls-which in fact are filled with plagues and the such
seals-1) Rev 6:1-2 White horse- this is refering to a peace covenant or treaty.
a divine waiting room filled with souls waiting for the 1000 years of peace.
what there must be in order for that person to be the antichrist-
1 peace treaty between two feuding countries in what we now call the "holy lands"
1 rebuilding of a temple rev 13:6 and several other references
1 death and resurrection Rev 13:3
1 one world religion and government rev 13:6-8
1 declaration to be God Rev 13:6
and a whole lot of crazy stuff that we can't even begin to comprehend
You cannot predict the ending of days according to the bible, because it says quite frankly that no one will know the date and time.
most likely you will not know the identity of the antichrist until it is too late because he will be loved, admired and will slip into power almost unnoticed. Revelation 13:4
BUT i can tell you this much....it is not Bush, osama bin laden, or anyone else that is currently in power...why you ask????????
which will be within the area that the Roman Empire once controlled. Meanin Britain, France, Spain, Italy, Germany, Greece, Turkey, Syria, Egypt, Iraq or Iran.Revelation 13:1
see can't be bush because he is not from there he is from texas and can't be osama because no one likes him and he is in hiding not in power.
READ THIS. and there are classes on this subject. seriously.
Revelation is very symbolic but this is the discription of the antichrist himself.
CODE
Revelation 13:1 And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.
Revelation 13:2 And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.
Revelation 13:3 And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.
Revelation 13:4 And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?
Revelation 13:5 And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.
Revelation 13:6 And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.

Revelation 13:14 And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.

As you can see there are a whole lot of requirements of this guy. We don't know him yet. No one is in complete reverie with any political power right now. The time period we are in may be a set up to the end of days but isn't quite upon us. Just because someone does one thing on this list doesn't make him the antichrist. besides bush choked on a pretzel he didn't hit his head.
