No; it'll be on the whole earth (the great trib) but it'll come down harder on the beast's empire. (Remember the angel pouring out his container of plague against the seat of the beast's empire ?)
Coming events...

It makes sense that the events would happen in order like you are describing, Tim. Plus, I agree that there is a lot of mystery about this as you said about the Thunders.
I want to please ask: I wrote by email to CARM and Tim from Carm was nice enough to write back, and then I responded by email. Are you the same person whom I was corresponding with? In case you aren't, or youfelt that you wrote enough to me, that is OK too.
No, I do not answer e-mail on behalf of CARM.

3 I saw one of his heads as if it was mortally wounded, but his deadly wound was healed, and the whole world marveled and followed the beast. Revelation 13:3
JFK is the ONLY person in the world whose public reappearance would make Rev 13:3 come to pass.

That's another classic KJV mistranslation.
This verse has one word for antichrist that is singular, the other plural, and the word THE was omitted.
Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that (THE) antichrist (singular) shall come, even now are there many antichrists; (plural) whereby we know that it is the last time.
It reads in the Textus Receptus like this...
"Little boys and girls, it is the last hour and according as ye hear that THE "instead-anointed" (antichrist) is coming and now many instead anointeds have become.....
Over a dozen bible translations use the word 'the' in the translation of 1 John 2:18. Like the NIV does...
"Dear children, this is the last hour; and as you have heard that the antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come. This is how we know it is the last hour."
I would interpret 1John 2:18 like this,
"Many antichrist have come, and the antichrist is coming, that's how you will know it's the last hour."
The translations that omit the word THE do so mistakenly and really do a disservice to the understanding of the verse. The 1611 translators omitted it because it IS in the Greek interlinear. The KJV is notorious for dropping and adding words. Personal pronouns are used to describe this man elsewhere.

That's true. Kennedy, Reagan, and Eisenhower warned America about the evils of the New World Order.

The big question becomes "who was the anti-Christ"? Nero? Vespasian? Titus? None of them ever put an image of themselves in the Temple.

But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (let him that readeth understand,) then let them that be in Judaea flee to the mountains:
Mathew 24 tells us where it ought not to be...
When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand.
Mathew 24:15 is one of the verses people use to support the rebuilding of another temple in East Jerusalem.
The holy place in Mathew 24:15 is not the Holy of Holies but simply the entire area surrounding temple.
According to Strong's... place, any portion or space marked off, as it were from surrounding space
No passage in the bible indicates a temple needs to be rebuilt. The religious complex of the Dome or the 'outer court', or the Al'Aqsa mosque is sufficient to fulfill end-time prophecy.

It didn't? You said while laughing out loud...
NKJV - Little children, it is the last hour; and as you have heard that the[fn] Antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come, by which we know that it is the last hour. (fn indicates THE was omitted)
If the KJV had NOT omitted the word THE, people would realize that the verse does speak about an anti-Christ (man) coming." The verse doesn't actually imply an anti-Christ spirit IS COMING because John said, "even now many antichrists have come....but we assume he's indicating that because he said, "by which we know that it is the last hour.".
Interlinear - "the anti-Christ IS coming" -
Textus Receptus
In addition to an anti-Christ spirit that existed since the time of John. 1 John 2:18 clearly speaks of THE anti-Christ as a specific anti-Christ.
The word THE indicates a 'specific' anti-Christ individual is coming distinct from, "even now many antichrists have come."
Who is the HE you're referring to and who is the IT?

Any chance you can explain what you believe? Any chance you can answer the question about your previous reply?
You said,
I asked..."Who is the HE you're referring to and who is the IT?" I'm just asking you to clarify.

The antichrist is satan reigning via the false gospels that has deceived the world.

The AC hasn't yet come. All the preterist's guesses of who he WAS are wrong.

While I don't use the KJV, as it's outdated & has many goofs & booboos, it's correct in this case. There's no article in the Greek of that verse for 'the'. But people SHOULD realize from the context that it refers to the worst antichrist of all, a man whom Satan shall personally indwell.

No, the AC will be one man, whom Satan personally indwells.
