The 200 Million Man Army, Follow Up

Q

I believe there is an error in your The 200 Million Man Army answer. Revelation 6:2 says, “And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer. ” This is when the anti-Christ is revealed. Not all nations will agree to his authority and will bring on the next 3 judgments. Are you saying that the anti-Christ won’t be revealed until sometime during or after the Trumpet judgments? Respectfully I disagree with both interpretations.

The man on the white horse is the one who will become the anti-Christ once Satan indwells Him. He comes on the scene as a peace maker, a world leader. But comparing Matt. 24:15 and 2 Thes. 2:4 you can see his revelation as the anti Christ comes at the time of the Abomination of Desolation. This is what begins the Great Tribulation.

In the Book of Revelation this takes place on Earth in Rev. 13, between the Trumpet judgments and the Bowl judgments. The 200 million man army is mentioned only in Rev. 9:16. The person who posed the question wanted to know if this army would be used by God to destroy the anti-Christ. I said it wouldn’t make sense to destroy him before he’s officially revealed. (To help clear up any confusion, I’ve also added the word “officially” to my original answer.) Thanks for calling this to my attention.
