SUMMARY CONCLUSION

The Bible appears to be simultaneously revealing antichrists with Christ in judgment. God the Holy Spirit, it seems is taken out of the midst by removing truth from the body. If so, then the timing of the revelation of antichrist (Satan) would be after the tribulation since during the tribulation the Bible was not yet unsealed.
