There are 6 signs of the Antichrist in Scripture, according to St. Robert Bellarmine:
2 signs which proceed his coming
2 signs which occur during his reign
2 signs at the end of his reign
2 signs which proceed his coming
2 signs which occur during his reign
2 signs at the end of his reign
The 2 signs which proceed the arrival of Antichrist are:
1. The preaching of the Gospel to the ENTIRE world.
2. The utter collapse of the Roman Empire.

The 2 signs during Antichrist's reign are:
1. The preaching of Enoch and Elijah against Antichrist.
2. The great persecution against the Catholic Church -- all public religion ceases. No more Mass. :c

The 2 signs at the end of Antichrist's reign are:
1. The desolation of Antichrist's power after 3 1/2 years of his reign.
2. The End of the world.
1. The desolation of Antichrist's power after 3 1/2 years of his reign.
2. The End of the world.
All of these signs prove the Antichrist will come, is here, and is about to loose power.
Against MHFM: The entire world was not preached to prior to JPII, Enoch & Elijah *themselves* did not come to preach against JPII, Dimondites aren't being martyred, the Vatican II Sect ("Whore of Babylon") didn't collapse in 2005, the world didn't End in 2005 . . .
Heck, JPII reigned ~27 years, not 3 1/2.
IRL: The Roman Empire is pretty much all gone. 10 Kings rule over what is left of it. The entire world is to be evangelized, i.e. there will be a restoration of the Catholic Church. Once the 10 Kings loose power & the entire world has been evangelized -- Antichrist comes.
