Nothing about Revelation is classical antiquity. Large numbers of Christians don't recognize an Antichrist. Feel free do do like most modern Evangelicals and make some shit up.
Biblically speaking, this is exactly how it would/should play out. Who says God doesn't have a sense of humor?If the Rapture occurs it would be be ironic indeed if they were the ones who get "Left Behind" because they worshipped Donald J. Trump.
I think you should look up when historians approximately date the classical antiquity period and compare that to when they believe Revelations was written.Nothing about Revelation is classical antiquity.

The time might be right but neither the topic or style. Ambiguous prophecies by an unknown author who was probably neither Greek, Roman or influenced by them wouldn't seem to qualify.I think you should look up when historians approximately date the classical antiquity period and compare that to when they believe Revelations was written.
God is happy, msabu. He plays with us...Who says God doesn't have a sense of humor?
Patmos, where it was supposedly written by John of Patmos, was Roman when the text was written. Patmos is a Greek island today and the book was written in Greek for a primarily Greco-Roman audience.The time might be right but neither the topic or style.

Last I checked, scholars think John of Patmos was a diasporic Jewish Christian whose first language was Aramaic, which helps explain why his Greek is shit.Patmos, where it was supposedly written by John of Patmos, was Roman when the text was written.
