The Book of Revelation is meant to paint a picture of the total devastation of the Earth in preparation for the Day of Judgment. God’s masterplan for the end of the world. And the Book of Revelation describes this masterplan as being written on a scroll that’s sealed with seven seals. Jonathan Kirsch, author A History of the End of the World
The idea that there would be a triumphant Messianic kingdom on Earth is in Jewish tradition. That idea is carried forward into the Book of Revelation, when Jesus returns to Earth as a conquering warrior. He will in fact reign over an Earthly kingdom for a thousand years. Mortal men and women will see Jesus as the King on Earth. ibid.
Have the answers been in front of us all the whole time locked away in one of the earliest texts known to man – the Old Testament?

The Anti-Christ. Tens of millions of people are on the lookout for him. And for signs of the end-times. Whether believers think he’s here or merely waiting in the wings, they consider the Anti-Christ an agent of unparalleled evil. And he’s seen as a sign of the times. Decoding the Past s2e23: The Anti-Christ: Zero-Hour I, History 2006

He has been called by many names. The Lawless One. The Beast. The Arch-Deceiver. But most know him as the Anti-Christ. He is at the crux of an apocalyptic vision of salvation and slaughter that millions of people share. He is the central figure in the world’s most popular doomsday prophecy. And some say they know his profile. Above all he represents a paradox. The Anti-Christ is pure evil. But true believers look for his coming with anticipation. Whether fact or fiction, his role is clear: the Anti-Christ is Satan’s human emissary on Earth. Decoding the Past: The Anti-Christ: Zero Hour II
That begins with a miracle called The Rapture. The Rapture sets the stage for the Anti-Christ who will appear as a saviour, and stabilize a world in turmoil. But ultimately, those left behind will be subject to unimaginable horrors. This agonising transition is known to believers as The Tribulation. It’s part of a system of Biblical interpretation called Dispensationalism, favoured by some evangelicals and fundamentalists. According to this schema there will be a seven-year period that culminates in unspeakable suffering, which will be dominated by Christ’s evil opponent – the Anti-Christ. ibid.
The roots of the Anti-Christ go all the way back to the beginning of recorded religion. ibid.

The Book of Revelation warns of an age of destruction where planet Earth will be writhing in pain like a mother giving birth. The Book of Revelation prophecies the birth of the Anti-Christ, who will emerge to wield great political power across the planet. The plan of the Anti-Christ is very simple: Famine, Plague, War, Total Annihilation of all living creatures. There will not be just one Anti-Christ. Chris Everard, Illuminati II
