Yes, there are many antichrists in the world, but just one 'man of sin' to come.
The title 'son of perdition' was given to two individuals in scripture - Judas (past) and a coming man of lawlessness, who will appear in the end times.
2 Thess 2:3-4: "Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition, who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God"

Amos 9:13-15 The days are coming, declares the LORD, when the reaper will be overtaken by the plowman and the planter by the one treading grapes. New wine will drip from the mountains and flow from all the hills, and I will bring my people Israel back from exile. They will rebuild the ruined cities and live in them. They will plant vineyards and drink their wine; they will make gardens and eat their fruit. I will plant Israel in their own land, never again to be uprooted from the land I have given them, says the LORD your God.
The above happened in 1948?

When the Holy Spirit speaks the truth to your heart it leaves no room for error or private interpretation. What Kate-follower has said is just pure light that 'zings' right into the heart and edifies the soul with truth and makes the words of Christ have power (spirit and life) to direct our thoughts and our steps in the will of God.

I know you love the Lord with all your heart, as do I, but those last two lines are still true. The Lord blinded the Jews to the Gospel, Romans 11:8, so all the Scripture they have been allowed to see during the Christian era is the Old Testament. If the Jews can't trust the promises God gave them in the Old Testament, then we Christians have no basis for trusting the promises God gave us in the New Testament.
Why do you think I hate the blind bigotry of the Church so much? Their unwillingness to accept at face value such verses as Romans 4:15, 11:11, 11:24-25 and 11:28-29, keeps us all in darkness and prevents us from standing shoulder to shoulder with our brethren, the Jewish people.

Ellis, it is they not being circumcised in heart through Faith in the Messiah that keeps us apart.
We are One through Faith and reconciled with Heavenly Father.
In the depths of darkness there are some that believe they can obtain what belongs to them while in Rebellion.
It is through this that things will come to pass in this world.
Shoulder to shoulder in Spirit and Truth may it be so.

Yes it did, and that is one of the most remarkable fulfillments of Bible prophecy of the whole Christian era. The Old Testament is full of it and a day-years and time-times prophecies prove that God knew to the exact year when the new nation of Israel would be established, 1948, and Jerusalem would be freed of Gentile control, 1967.
Many don't want to accept those day-year and time-times prophecies as fulfilled in new Israel, because they are supporting pillars in dispensational eschatology, but when you prove them fulfilled in new Israel in 1948 and 1967, major tenets of the seven-year tribulation doctrine can no longer be biblically or historically supported.

If this happened in 1948, which I do not believe it has happened yet, then the land would have been distributed between the 12 tribes as promised for an inheritance. I do not see that prophecy fulfilled at this time. The days are coming. . .the reaper will be overtaken by the plowman and the planter by the one treading grapes. . .Does this have anything to do with Jesus coming back to tread the winepress?
The actual tribulation has not happened yet. There will be no second coming until Israel's plea and confession that they rejected Jesus as their Messiah. He will not return until they look to the one they pierced, and cry out for Him to return. This is the precondition of His second coming. And.... it will be through the awful tribulation that Israel will suffer and reach that final point of confession. Not all Jews will be saved, many will die, but those sealed will be kept safe. Just like Noah's ark, so will the remnant be kept safe.
Hosea 5:15: "I will go and return to My place Till they acknowledge their offense. Then they will seek My face; In their affliction they will earnestly seek Me.”
Zech 12:10: "And I will pour on the house of David and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem the Spirit of grace and supplication; then they will look on Me whom they pierced. Yes, they will mourn for Him as one mourns for his only son, and grieve for Him as one grieves for a firstborn"
Matthew 23:37-39: "O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the one who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were not willing! See! Your house is left to you desolate; for I say to you, you shall see Me no more till you say, ‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!’ "
Nations will be gathered against the remnant of Israel. This has not happened yet.
Saying all this, it's clear that the tribulation is all about the Jews. Nowhere does the gentile church fit in.
Salvation is offered to gentiles today, while Israel are temporarily blinded. When the fullness of the gentiles comes in God will then turn to Israel and focus on them.

Oh, the Jews have faith alright, but not according to New Testament doctrine. I know you guys don't understand, but God honors His own word, one verse of which states, "out of the mouth of two or three witnesses shall anything be established." The Jews of the Christian era are one of the two witnesses of Revelation 11:3-4. If God had not blinded the Jews to the Gospel, the Jews would have been absorbed into the church, there would not have been two witnesses, so that prophecy and many others could never have been fulfilled. So did God blind them to be lost? If He did, then He broke His covenant with Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Moses and the rest of the prophets. Romans 11:11 states He did not.
Many believe that people have to get their doctrine right to be saved and that is absolutely untrue. Souls are saved when they have a humble and repentant heart before God regardless of their doctrine, Hosea 6:6 and Micah 6:8 say otherwise as do those other verses from Romans that I cited particularly 11:28-29.
