3. Antichrist can mean instead of Christ

What is happening is this- Jesus Christ said the gospel of the kingdom will be preached through the entire world ( which is happening geographically and chronologically) and then the end will come.

Matthew 8 tells of demons telling Jesus to leave them alone and asking if He was there to torment them before the time. In Luke 8 the demons called Legion begged Jesus to not send them to the abyss.
Ephesians 6 includes the spiritual forces of the evil in the heavens as who our struggle is against

So it looks like the spiritual forces of evil in the heavens are trying to spread a false gospel around the world to keep the true gospel of the kingdom from spreading around the world, because Jesus said when that happens the end will come.
This false gospel looks to be the spiritual forces of evil attempt to delay the time, torment and the abyss stated in the scriptures.

Mark 16:15
New English Translation

Matthew 24:14
New English Translation
14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached throughout the whole inhabited earth as a testimony to all the nations,[a] and then the end will come.

Acts 1:8

8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the farthest parts[a] of the earth.”

Matthew8:28 When he came to the other side, to the region of the Gadarenes,[a] two demon-possessed men coming from the tombs met him. They were extremely violent, so that no one was able to pass by that way. 29 They[c] cried out, “Son of God, leave us alone![d] Have you come here to torment us before the time?”[e]

Luke 8:30-31
New English Translation
30 Jesus then[a] asked him, “What is your name?” He said, “Legion,”[c] because many demons had entered him. 31 And they began to beg[d] him not to order[e] them to depart into the abyss.[f]

Ephesians 6:12
New English Translation
12 For our struggle[a] is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world rulers of this darkness,[c] against the spiritual forces[d] of evil in the heavens.[e]
