One of the things I wonder about with all the End Times talk is whether or not that guy with the EU knows he is supposed to be the Antichrist or not. If Javier Solana isn't really the AC, does it bother him that we think he is? Or does he even care what we think? I know if people thought I was the AC it would bother me. A lot. On the other hand, if he really is the AC, does he know that we're on to him? Does he know the jig is up, so to speak? It looks like it would be more difficult for him to carry out his plan for worldwide domination if folks realize that's what he's up to. Has he ever spoken publicly about being suspected of being the AC? If I was him I would sure want to issue a public denial, whether I was the actual AC or not. Maybe he doesn't know that we know, or think we know, that he is the AC and that is why he hasn't confirmed or denied the accusation.

Another thing I wonder about is - can't the AC, whoever or wherever he is, read? Why can't he read about what a sorry end he is going to come to and change his plan? Surely he knows God is gonna win in the end. If he is smart enough to take over the world and establish a one world government, surely he is smart enough to see how it is all going to end. It's all right there in Revelation, isn't it? Or, is it?

Come to think of it, where do we get the idea that the AC has a part to play in the End Times anyway? There's no mention of the AC at all in Revelation, at least that I can find. The only places we find any mention of the antichrist is in I John and II John, and there the reference is plural and pertains to people alive at the time John is writing. John doesn't say anything about some AC who is going to come in the distant future.

So, where does the idea that the antichrist is alive today come from?

Beats me. 

Another thing I wonder about the End Times is where do we get the idea that Revelation is about something that will happen, from John's perspective, in the distant future? In the 1st verse of Revelation John writes "The revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave him to show his servants what must soon take place." Then in verse three John writes "...because the time is near."  How do we get the idea that the events in Revelation take place 2,000 plus years in the future when John uses words like "soon take place" and "time is near"? What a rip off for the poor folks John was writing to, the christians undergoing Roman and Jewish persecution. If John is telling them vindication is on the way, and judgement for the persecutors is near, when it is really something like 2,000 years in the future, what a disappointment that had to be! 

So how do we get from "near" and "soon" to sometime way off, like 2,000 years in the future?

Beats me.

These are just a few questions that come to mind when thinking about the End Times and trying to make sense of it all.
