That being the case, Antichrist [1]’s followers will be “Christians.” No wonder, then, that the apostasy [2] must precede his ascension to power.

True Christians will have been taken to heaven in the rapture, and Antichrist [1] will be worshiped by those who are left—except for those who come to faith in Christ during this horrible time and are martyred for their faith.
