The Lifespan of the Antichrist is not the center of Attention, such as with the Prophecy of Daniel concerning Babylon. http://www.theologyonline.com/forums/showthread.php?t=116236]Springing up of the Untoward Generation, to which we will make a statement concerning the Mark of the Beast. ... ... ... ... The Center of Attention in Revelation, is the "Events of Revelation" (2 Days Rainbow, 40 Days, 3 Days Darkness, 150 Days), 2Corin11:24-25.
666 Mark of the Beast, Rev. 9:15
132 Hours = 2 Days of Rainbow + 3 Days and a Half Days of Darkness
190 Days = 40 Days of Tribulation + 150 Days of Star Wormwood
323 Month = 3/23/2016 to begin the 153 Days
21 Year = 2/12/2016 to 3/23/2016 this begins the year or "Events of Revelation" that impacts the Earth (because the earth is impacted, 2 days after the Rainbow, it is called a year, or the Year of Revelation, the Earth is not impacted with the "Rainbow")
Total = 666
Antipas Faithful Martyr, Rev. 2:13
Antipas has not been slain, Rev. 3:7 says the last Church that still stands is Philadelphia, Luke 4:25-26 says the 42 Days that comes before the 153 days, begins at "Septa" that is City of Philadelphia/SEPTA/Market Frankford Line, Arrot Terminal. (Prophecy of Daniel says 2300 Days, or 2 Days for Rainbow and 3 Days for Darkness, or 23 Hours, see below
Four Horsemen, Rev. 18:10 (parallel conclusion)
23 Hours = Rev. 18:10 (one hour taken away from 24 Hours in a Day)
1260 Days = Rev. 11:3
42 Months = Rev. 11:2
2000 Years = Rev. 9:16, Mark 5:13
... Spin/Mix the figures around and you obtain 2/12/2016 (begins 40 Days) to 3/23/2016 (begins 153 days).
Seven Heads (More Detail about the Seven SEALS, don't forget the value of human life)
1. Enoch walked with God
2. Elijah revealed with God in the New Testament
3. Moses revealed with God in the New Testament
4. Lazarus taken to God in Abraham's Bosom
5. Jesus revealed with God in the New Testament
6. John wrote about God in Heaven in Revelation
7. Two Witnesses caught up to God in Revelation
...The Apostle John was told to be silent in revelation, so the Sixth SEAL was not opened at that time, it will be opened when the Two Witnesses are Slain, and the Seventh SEAL when the 150 Days begin, when the Antichrist is allowed to reign.
Ten Horns (The Judgment is Doubled)
1-2 = God Head and God
3-4 = Saints and Jesus
5-6 = Holy Spirit and Lamb Slain (or Jesus Slain in the Holy Ghost to identify with Joseph/Babylon)
7-8 = Satan and Babylon (Joseph)
9-10 = Two Witnesses
... The Tenth Kingdom is Babylon (Tenth from Cush in Genesis is Babel, the "Two Witnesses" are another form of Babylon, in which the Covenant is Confirmed)
Little Book (Don't forget the Value of Human Life)
5 Months of Revelation formed the Gospel's Program, 5 Months of Revelation will form the Separatist Inheritances* into the New Universe. This is only for the people that remain in the USA (Home of the Jews or Heart of Judah, where the "Events of Revelation" takes place)
Thousand Years (Whole Body)
1. Heaven
2. Satan
3. Babylon
...The gospel is designed to afford equal potential so God is comparing three whole bodies in Revelation 20.
Three Johns (2 Johns in the New Testament, and John in Revelation?)
God completed his Gospel's Law in the New Testament, and when the work was finished the Third John reconciled the Law from Heaven. Fast Forward to the Antichrist, "Two Witnesses" equation used to confirm the covenant, and then the Antichrist is allowed to reign, the Third Time the Antichrist identifies with the New Heaven, just like John the third time identified with Heaven, as recorded in Revelation.
Two Beasts not the Two Witnesses
Two Beasts = Jesus and Babylon
Two Witnesses = Jesus and Antichrist
...Dehumanization is one of the motivations in "Suicide by Antichrist", a need to kill the Gospel is another motivation, this explains the chemical, electric and behavior treatments in addition to the lethal treatments that are periodically done, none of that means anything. In a few days time, a declaration against Genetic Dan may be made for public safety or they may simply be driven away incoherently from promoting suicide, right now we must keep watch, with these public threats, as this develops. (this is the third time we mentioned, that underestimating the value of human life and the gospel's intention to this effect as a form of simple suicide).
Timeline of the Apocalypse
Lifespan of the Antichrist has an absolute limit, which corresponds to the "Events of Revelation". (Hebrews 4:7, Psalms 78:41). Previous discussion see link near the opening of this reply.
Love and Blessings(the kind of shame and humilation that needs to take place to tone down this public threat we need to see done, God has to address, that's not something the Antichrist wants to become the tone of the "Events of Revelation", more than gathering of the people and saving lives)

Futurists? Summarize the 1000 Year Parables of Revelation 20 to be literal description that happens here on earth after the "Events of Revelation", instead of the New Universe
Recapitulation? Summarize that the Antichrist must be Crucified like Jesus to move the Body of Believers to another Nation/Country
Abomination of Desolation? Summarize that when God told Zacharias/Zechariah to be Silent because he was slain between the Temple and the Congregation, that this did not mean that God was finished with Heavenly Salvation (thus invalidating the love and hope the Antichrist brings in Confirming the Covenant)
Four Beast? Summarize that these are not Spiritual Relationships, like God, Holy Spirit, Satan, Babylon, because they are infact all Islamic Nations planning to blow up the next NYC Freedom Tower?
Love and Blessings (I wanted to take away the Tribulation, but instead, 2/10/2016 is my new watch date, as opposed to 2/12/2016)

Why don't you find out what the Apocalypse is really all about? Most people think it's the end of the world...everything will be destroyed, etc. But the Bible actually teaches something far different. Armageddon is the beginning of something very wonderful. All evil will be cleared out of the earth. We will be able to live in a paradise, without sickness and even death.
Check out this website and you can find out the truth about many things: www.jw.org

If Jesus is God, then....God gave the Revelation to himself.

ONE John. He wrote the Gospel and the three letters. Er, where are there three different versions of the apocalypse?

Couldn't have already happened. In the Apocalypse it says that Jesus will reign for a thousand years and there will be no more death, no more causes for pain and sadness. That hasn't happened yet!

Nawww. You just don't understand. Jesus spoke of his being revealed in his kingdom glory...that some there would see that...and they DID soon afterward. Peter, James and John saw him glowing like the sun. Matthew 16:28 was fulfilled then and there. Do you read the Bible much?
I imagine that to God 2,000 years going by is "soon." Didn't God, through Jesus, tell John what to write? It would be "soon" to God.
"One day is with Jehovah as a thousand years and a thousand years as one day." (2 Peter 3:8; Psalm 90:4)

Naah. Babylon the Great is the world-wide empire of false religion, including all religion that claims to represent the true God but really doesn't. The Whore of Babylon is the same thing as Babylon the Great.
You are Catholic and yet call the Vatican the Whore of Babylon???

Revelation 2:13 calls Pergamum the city "where the throne of Satan is." The phrase has been referred to the complex of pagan cults, but the main allusion is probably to emperor worship. Since the martyrdom of Antipas is mentioned in the same verse, Antipas may have been killed for refusing to worship Caesar. Beyond that, I guess we would have to go to non-sacred material to try and find out more about Antipas, such as "False Prophet" has offered.

John does mention the anti-christ in IJohn 2:18, 4:3; 2John 7. Why would we expect him to mention it again in the Apocalypse? It is not the same as the Beast. Who do you mean when you say, "Why does he use his name four times"? Whose name?
john mentions his name, john, four times in the apocalypse

Why would that be unusual?
there is no need to mention one's name more than once unless there is more than one person with the same name
