Its dominion will be taken away
Summary:
We can be thankful that the rule of the Antichrist will not last forever. Daniel 7 says that the little horn's power will be taken away and that it will be destroyed.
But the judgment shall sit, and they shall take away his dominion, to consume and to destroy it unto the end (Daniel 7:26).
The stone will strike the feet of the image and all the kingdoms with their earthly pomp and fake powers will shatter when the Lord comes. Jesus declares, “Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away” (Matthew 24:35).
Paul says that there would "come a falling away" of the Church before the Second Coming of Christ. The "man of sin" opposes God and tried to steal the position of God on Earth. He, instead of God, sits in the temple of God, “showing himself that he is God.” This is the Antichrist, the one in the place of the true Christ.
Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God. For the mystery of iniquity doeth already work...And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of His mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of His coming (2 Thessalonians 2:3-4, 8).
The good news is that God will triumph. When Christ returns, the Antichrist power will be destroyed and God will set up His Kingdom that will never be destroyed. There will be no more sickness or persecution, and God will dry away all tears.
