This guy really explains alot of the rise of the Anti-Christ and False Prophet, but like all theologians, he still associates the Great Tribulation to the last 7 years.

If he was better taught the Last 7 Years, and learned that the Church and Rapture don't take place until the end of the 7 year period, he would speculate more explanations about the Anti-Christ.

This guy is mixed up between the appearance of the Anti-Christ, and the real Christ. The appearance of the "rapture" he describes, is actually the resurrection of the Anti-Christ, from a deadly wound that was healed.

He gets things muddled up, and doesn't fully understand that the third group, who reject the False Prophet's leadership, voluntarily exit because of the return of the real Christ.

"At this point, I raised my hand and asked, 'How do these people do this, Bill? No one can simply declare his spirit to leave this world. Do these people commit suicide?' Bill answered emphatically, "NO". He said, "I do not know how it will happen, but these people will leave this dimension."

After much thought, I have concluded that Bill is talking about the Rapture of the Church. He refused to say that these people would be killed, and we know the Bible teaches that Anti-Christ will not begin killing Christians until the mid-point of the Great Tribulation. But, Bill is saying that the timing of the departure of the people of Group #3 is immediately after the appearance of the Christ; and the method of their leaving is mysteriously voluntary. I believe the Guiding Spirits of the New Age leaders have created this story as a means of explaining the world-wide Rapture of the Church. Thus, when the Rapture occurs, people will not credit God and will continue being deceived."
