Satan was certainly present.
He was present with God when he became lifted up and said I will be like the Most High. He was present in the Garden when he first laid the plans for gnostic religion tempting with the words, you will be like God your eyes will be open and you will know good and evil. Eve then saw that the tree would make one wise.

I believe he was present with the proto antichrist, Nimrod. When we see his first attempt at his kingdom here on earth. After God confounded man and they left off. We can see the development of the first false religions. In Summer, Akkad, and Egypt the start of gnostic or initiate religions. Also the start of hermetic religions.

We can see him ever present in history with every false religion the pagan pantheon's of the gods of the Greeks, Romans, Norse, the Hindus or Indus valley civilizations that brought Hinduism. We also know that he is present even now because he walks about like a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour.

However, his plans have not changed since he said I will be like the Most High. There is nothing new under the sun he still seeks a kingdom one that will involve humanity and them worshipping him. One to be lead by his chosen leader a antichrist and a false prophet that will present his lie as truth. That his false religions, gnostic, hermetic, occultist, pagan, modern the new gods of materialism, corrupted Christianity that abuses what true love is and means, under the name toleration. His false religion of the state as god and it's adherents stepped in covetousness. With these members praying aloud with the words of coveting, this ain't righteous it's meant for the rich and not me and his host of others. Presenting them as the way and the truth.

No greater message could I leave you about the antichrist than this:

Israel's greatest friend in this world is America, but this will change shortly. A man unknown to us with the power to deliver peace and security to a nation desperate for neighbors that do not attack on a constant basis, and will only multiply with hatred reaching the extreme concerning Israel.

The times of the gentiles will come to full fruitation.

Only chaos and turmoil remains in the future as Nation against Nation and Kingdom against Kingdom as well as weather events, volcanoes, earthquakes, ect increase dramatically

Israel has always had a unique destiny or way that God has used them. First attempt for world government God himself came down and stopped it. However, in the chapter following God introduces us to Abraham and what will eventually be the nation of Israel.

In that time God has used them to end world powers. Perhaps world powers that would have gone on to become a one world government. Egypt was the superpower of it's day when God brought Israel down into the land. After this interaction they were no longer the superpower of their day.

We see it again God in his faithfulness declared that as long as the sun rose Israel would exist. Assyria the superpower of it's day again perhaps they would have gone on to become a one world government. However, we have no clue because God brought Israel into their path and another superpower gone. Babylon, Greece, and Rome. Rome had the greatest of Abraham's seeds amongst it, our very Lord. Each of these superpowers on the rise intent on domination and all gone.

While I am a proud American and like most go on how we saved the free world in WW2. Fact is the 3rd Reich was on the rise and intent on world domination. I don't think it was by chance that Israel was there. God is faithful and able but he doubles down on how faithful he is and even says he sets as a reminder to himself. He does this not because he will forget but he has the absolute ability to double down and draw a line in the sand saying nothing goes beyond this point.

Israel is such it is not by chance that the Antichrist and the final superpower will cross paths with Israel and then God says no more this kingdom too will not last.

I know nowadays some think that we have replaced Israel but I don't find it so because as long as the sun rises they will be. There is a world coming where there will be no sun and I find then that all the seed of Abraham will be one in the New Jerusalem. I believe God is that detailed to the jot and title. So until the detail of being no more sun every word written about Israel will be fulfilled.

Coming of the antichrist will gain approval by appearing to be a man of peace amid a world full of hate and violence. The antichrist will appear even more peaceful than the righteous because he will embrace everything in the name of tolerance. World will will praise him for such humanitarian and compassion while labeling the righteous as narrow-minded hateful bigots. He will welcome every form of sexuality, every religion, every lifestyle, ect.

We must not forget that the antichrist will be the exact duplicate of the lord. Deception and lies will be his words of wisdom. Satan will not make the antichrist appear evil.
The Antichrist IS Satan in person as written in II Thes 2:3-4. The ANTI in Antichrist means INSTEAD OF, not against. Satan will come first, INSTEAD OF Christ trying to impersonate him. Satan is the son of perdition that has already been sentenced to die, Ezk 28:2-19. If you don't know that Satan comes first pretending to be Jesus you will most likely be deceived into worshipping him as God. The real Jesus doesn't return until after the workings of Satan.

There was no Papacy at the time that John said thusly.

1John2:18-22

Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.
19They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.
20But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things.
21I have not written unto you because ye know not the truth, but because ye know it, and that no lie is of the truth.
22Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.

The antichrist will be a person just as there are presently antichrist's at work back then and now and they are individuals.

There was no papacy nor protestants when John declared that antichrist's were already here and the antichrist would come.
Correct ! No Papacy, as it is today, was present in the time of John, in the first century .. As soon as Jesus, the Christ, was IN the world, there was the antichrist spirit, also, of which John is referring to in 1 John 2:18-22. Many Biblical scholars, looking at extra-Biblical history, believe that Simon Magus, in Acts 8:9-24, went on to become the magician to Emperor Neo. You can well imagine, someone, thinking they are God, wanting to have the power of Christ, mixing pagan worship, witchcraft, the spirit of Satan, with Christianity, forming the very early Antichrist spirited "church" in Rome.

Prophecy says that the AntiChrist, “the man of Lawlessness” 2 Thessalonians 2:1–12 “will have eyes like a man, and speak pompous words, against the Most High”.

Pope’s, for over a millennia, have been saying that they are God on Earth” and are here in place of Christ. Being His “Vicar” !

Daniel 7:25 “And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time."(Roman Church killed 50+ million of us, in those 1260 yeats) Also the Popes have changed the 10 commandments, God’s Law, and they changed the “Time” of God’s Sabbath from the Seventh Day Sabbath, to a spurious Sabbath, > Sunday, another Lord’s Day. The UN-Holy Roman Church claims, that this change is the “Mark, of her authority.” which we prophetical consider to be the, Mark of the Beast.

So, Yeah ! You are right, there wasn’t a Papacy, OFFICIALLY, until 538 ad, which lasted for 1260 years, Daniel 7 = “and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time". This period is interpreted as 1260 years, based on the day-year principle, where a "time" equals a year in prophecy.”

Roman / Church Empire - Read Daniel 7:23-26

The Roman Emperor enabled the Bishop of Rome to exercise greater authority following Justinian's decree of 533 AD, which recognized the Pope's supremacy over the Church.

The year 538 AD is also noted for the transition of the Roman Empire from a pagan to a Christian entity, with Justinian's shift from a military leader to a theologian, which further solidified the Church's influence. This period saw the Church's growing power, as the Byzantine Empire's military successes, including the defeat of the Ostrogoths, eliminated opposition to the Pope's authority.

Additionally, the year 538 AD is significant in religious contexts, as it is cited as the beginning of a 1260-year period during which the papacy had Religious / State dominance, according to interpretations of biblical prophecy.

1260 years from 538 ad takes it to the year, 1798, in 1798, French troops under General Louis-Alexandre Berthier captured the Pope and removed the Papacy from power. Which is; => Bible prophecy => Rev 13:3 ~~ “And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.” Many scholars understand that the Papacies “deadly wound” was healed in 1929 with Benito Mussolini, Lateran Treaty reinstating the Catholic Church in Roman, officially establishing the Vatican as a Church/ State, AGAIN (Deadly wound healed) =>The Church & State union, that we protestants have been protesting for over 500 years. You can look out your front door and see the Deadly wound has been healed and the whole world is “wondering after the beast

She is "the moral authority of the world," according to Catholic President Joe Bidon. ( New World Order Joe) They killed Catholic Prez John F Kennedy, for not going along with what the Papacy wanted .. Listen to JFK’s "Freedom from Secret Societies" speech, where He talks about not going along with , "dictates of prelates" (Vatican) = what they wanted. The assassination was orchestrated by the Jesuit's who where controlling the CIA at the time.

That is the last 2000 years, since Christ, ascension, condensed, to just SOME historical / prophetic high points. Enough to make a Christ BELIEVERS out of US. This whole 2000 yr history, is presented in Symbols and Signs in The Book of Revelation, fulfilling Daniel's prophecies, presenting our Lord / King, Jesus, (The Head) and His Church ( the body). The relationship between Jesus and us, and our interaction with the Beast powers, Babylon, The Dragon, and the False Prophets, making war with, we, the saints, until Christ's SOON Return. Maranatha Dear Lord.
