Revelation: Chapter 13 Timelines

Setting

Revelation 13 provides insights of the activities during the midpoint of the tribulation. The Antichrist is in existence during the entire seven years of the tribulation. In the first half of the tribulation he represents the rebuilt Roman empire, which is like, if not the same, as the European Union. However, at the midpoint of the tribulation, Satan will indwell the Antichrist and give him full power, knowledge, and skill that will put in awe those whose names are not written in the Lamb's book of life. This scenario of the Antichrist is shown in the light and dark orange bar when he is first revealed by the Lord in opening the first seal of the seven sealed scroll, Revelation 6:1-2. About midway along the orange bar, it changes to dark orange and extends across the remainder of the seven years of tribulation. This represents the time the Antichrist receives Satan's full power, his throne, and great authority, Revelation 13:2.
