Yes—Scripture and Les Feldick's teaching place the Antichrist's appearance in the seven-year tribulation that follows the church's removal.
Les points to Daniel 9:27 as the moment the Antichrist signs a seven-year treaty with Israel, restarting God's prophetic clock. Before that appears, Les says believers will be caught up to meet the Lord in the air. Globalism in all its forms is a sign that this time is very close.
Daniel 9:27 — This is the passage Les identifies as the moment the Antichrist signs a seven-year treaty with Israel.
Matthew 24:15 — Jesus points to the abomination of desolation, which Les places at the midpoint of the tribulation.
1 Thessalonians 4:17 — This is the catching away of believers that Les says precedes the Antichrist's appearance.
The Bible gives a timeline for the end times centered on a coming ruler who will confirm a covenant with Israel for seven years. Daniel 9:27 says, "And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate." Jesus later warned that "many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many" (Matthew 24:5), and that "the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet" would stand in the holy place (Matthew 24:15). These events are accompanied by wars and rumors of wars, with nation rising against nation (Matthew 24:6-7). Scripture also instructs believers to keep their focus on eternal realities: "The things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal" (2 Corinthians 4:18). It promises that those who are alive and remain will be "caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air" (1 Thessalonians 4:17).
Les Feldick teaches that the end times are very near. He points to globalism in all its forms—global religion, global economies, and global government—as a sure sign that the world is close to the appearance of the Antichrist, who will be the world ruler under that global environment. Les explains that the Antichrist will come out of Daniel 9 and sign a seven-year treaty with Israel, restarting God's prophetic clock that stopped during the church age. At first he will seem to keep his word, bringing peace and prosperity, and Israel will enjoy temple worship. But at the midpoint, the abomination of desolation will reveal he is not the Messiah. The last three and a half years will be the most devastating in history—worse than the Holocaust—and will end with Christ's appearing and the armies of the world gathered to the Middle East. Before the Antichrist appears, believers will be caught up to meet the Lord in the air. Les urges them not to be absorbed in temporal, visible things, reminding them that what is seen is temporal while the unseen is eternal.
Les sees globalism in all its forms and shapes—global religion, global economies, and global government—as a sure sign the world is close to the Antichrist's appearance. Jesus warned of deceivers saying "I am Christ" and of wars and rumors of wars (Matthew 24:5-6). Les also notes that New Age thinking elevates Lucifer and "his man, the Antichrist" as the one who will bring the utopia the world is looking for.
Les teaches that before the Antichrist makes his appearance, believers "have to go"—the Lord will take them up to meet Him in the air. The Antichrist will then come out of Daniel 9 and sign a seven-year treaty with Israel, which kicks God's prophetic clock back into gear after being stopped during the church age.
Les says the Antichrist will come on the scene as a deceptive person, promising everything the world wants, and for a short while he will seem to keep his word, bringing peace and prosperity. Israel will enjoy temple worship and freedom from fear of outside enemies. At the midpoint, however, they realize he is not the Messiah, and the abomination of desolation stands in the temple (Matthew 24:15). The last three and a half years are so awful that Les says the Holocaust of Nazi Germany will seem like a Sunday school picnic by comparison, ending with Christ's appearing and the world's armies gathered toward the Middle East.
Les applies 2 Corinthians 4:16-18 to end-times living: believers are not to look at the things that are seen, because those are temporal, but at the things that are not seen, which are eternal. He says the world is only set on the temporal, and while there is nothing wrong with things in themselves, believers must keep their priorities straight and seek what is eternal.
Temporal vs. Eternal Focus
Les applies 2 Corinthians 4:16-18 to end-times living, reminding believers not to focus on visible, temporal things because they are temporary, while what is unseen is eternal.
Daniel 9: The Seven-Year Treaty
Les explains that the Antichrist will appear out of Daniel 9, signing a seven-year treaty with Israel that restarts God's prophetic clock.
Initial Peace and Prosperity
Les teaches that the Antichrist's early years will look like peace and prosperity, with Israel restored to temple worship, before the true nature of the seven years emerges.
Globalism as a Sign
Les points to global religion, global economies, and global government as a sure sign the Antichrist is near, and reminds that the church will be caught up before he appears.
The Antichrist's Deceptive Utopia
Les warns that the Antichrist will be mistaken for a bringer of utopia—even by New Age thinking—but the second half of the tribulation will be devastating.
The Church Removed First
Les teaches that believers will be removed before the Antichrist appears and that his seven-year worldwide reign will be the worst in history.
Matthew 24: False Christs
Les shows from Matthew 24 that the Antichrist will come deceptively, claiming to be Christ, amid wars and rumors of wars.
The Final Three and a Half Years
Les describes the final three and a half years as escalating plagues and cosmic disturbances, ending with Christ's appearing and the gathering of armies to the Middle East.
Daniel 9:27: And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.
This is the passage Les points to as the moment the Antichrist signs a seven-year covenant with Israel.
Matthew 24:5: For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
Jesus warns that the first sign will be deceivers claiming to be the Christ, which Les applies to the Antichrist.
Matthew 24:6: And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
This verse points to the turmoil that precedes the end, which Les places in the tribulation period.
Matthew 24:7: For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
Jesus describes the global upheaval that accompanies the end-times events Les discusses.
Matthew 24:15: When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)
Jesus references Daniel's prophecy as the event that reveals the Antichrist's true identity at the midpoint.
2 Corinthians 4:17-18: For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.
Les uses this passage to urge believers to focus on eternal realities rather than temporal world concerns.
1 Thessalonians 4:17: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
Les teaches this is the catching away of believers before the tribulation and before the Antichrist appears.
No—Les teaches that believers will be caught up to meet the Lord in the air before the Antichrist appears. The seven-year tribulation begins after that catching away.
Les says he will sign a seven-year treaty with Israel, seemingly bringing peace and prosperity. He will come as a deceptive Christ-claimant amid wars and rumors of wars.
Jesus spoke of it in Matthew 24:15, referring to Daniel's prophecy. Les places it at the midpoint of the tribulation when Israel realizes the Antichrist is not the Messiah.
Les points to globalism in all its forms—global religion, global economies, and global government—as a sure sign that the time is short and the Antichrist's appearance is near.
