We know that when the antichrist signs the peace covenant there will be seven years of tribulation. during the first 3/12 years, he comes across as the great peacemaker. The Lord also says that he will deceive many and if it were possible, even the very elect. I think the saints, (us) are the very elect. the reason he wont be able to deceive us is because we won't be here.
Also we know that after the peace covenant is signed, in the middle of the tribulation 3 1/2 years, he will be revealed as the antichrist. if this is true then we know that there will be 3 1/2 years left of the tribulation. Now if we know when the peace covenant is signed, it is possible to decipher when the Lord will come (seven years) That goes against verse that says we will not know the day nor the hour.
These are just some of my reasons. I have more
PLEASE NOTE verse 29 of MATTHEW chapter 24.
Did you notice the word "AFTER"?
