That antichrist thing again

This came up the other day. Now I see that Mark Evanier has had an email about it too.

But then Mark does one of the things he does best and asks the next question

What people often forget is that Jesus once said, "you shall not know the day nor the hour."

There was another "next question" I remember some novelist posing in the course of one of their works: something about how in order to have your fated-by-Revelations Kingdom Come, you had to have your Apocalypse...and the Anti-Christ who ushered it in, first. So what's a good Christian to do in the face of that logic?

Besides, isn't the antichrist a necessary component to the whole end-times thing where all the elect are offered a lift on that elevator to Heaven whilst the rest of us sinners wallow in our own shame and have lots of fun parties? I thought your average born-again Christian was all for bringing on that sort of thing?

Well, do they expect the Antichrist to get cheap haircuts? He's got to go to some creative barbers to hide his horns.
