48. Will I be naming the Antichrist soon?

'
Probably not soon, and maybe never, although I am certainly willing to, if God so wills.

Let me explain:
In both posts #27 (long version) and #29 (short version), you see the outline of the Future History that God indicates in scripture will happen. There are debates about the first item in both lists, the Rapture of the Church, as to when it precisely comes in the Bible prophecy sequence, (1) at the first, or (2) in the middle, or (3) near the end of the sequence. I and most premillennialists now take the position that the church will be taken up (lit. snatched up) to heaven before the tribulation begins. And only after that event can the Antichrist be revealed in all his strength and wickedness.

Consider what it says in 2 Thessalonians 2:6-8a:
"6 And now you know what is holding him back, so that he may be revealed at the proper time. 7 For the secret power of lawlessness is already at work; but the one who now restrains will continue to do so till he is taken out of the way. 8 And then the lawless one will be revealed,..."

Here is a restatement of the same passage indicating whether the Antichrist is meant, or whether the Holy Spirit and the Church are meant:
"6 And now you know that the Holy Spirit and the Church are holding back the Antichrist, so that the Antichrist may be revealed at the proper time. 7 For the secret power of lawlessness is already at work; but the Holy Spirit who now restrains will continue to do so until the Holy Spirit is taken out of the way.
8 And then the Antichrist will be revealed,..."

I've tried to color-code the references to make it clear who is being talked about in the verses. If it doesn't work for you, let me know via comment, and I'll try plan "B".

The timeline around these events can be described as:
1. Currently, the Holy Spirit in believers is working in the world, restraining evil and lawlessness in general; previously in and through Israel, but now in an expanded way in and through the Church.
2. The one who is to become the Antichrist is born and becomes active in the world, but is restrained by the Holy Spirit, and is not yet recognized as "the lawlessness one". Some premillennialists see evidence that we are in this period of history.
3. The Church is snatched up from the earth (popularly known as the rapture), whose loss will be felt immediately due to the absence of the Holy Spirit living and working in and through believers.
4. The Holy Spirit, now "taken out of the way", no longer restrains the Antichrist nor evil in general. And so,
5. The Antichrist is now revealed -- but I believe slowly and partially over the first half of the tribulation (first 3 1/2 years.)
6. During the last half of the tribulation, the Antichrist and his followers unleash their fury upon Israel and the saints who have come to believe in Jesus since the church was snatched up. During the same time, God unleashes his fury and wrath against the Antichrist and his followers.

So will anyone in the Church know who the Antichrist is before the church is raptured? Yes, I think that as time goes on, more and more believers will figure out who it is based on the scriptures. The ones who search the scriptures most diligently, will be the first ones to figure it out and to spread the early warning. But I do not expect this soon.
