Mr. Covid doesn’t care whether or not one confesses to believing in the prophecies of the Bible.

No, the Antichrist will make Hitler seem like a schoolyard bully in comparison.

There’s no public revelation since the death of the last Apostle
That doesn’t mean that all shall be left in the dark. .

We have to remember that our Teacher warned us that the last days would be comparable to the time before the Flood. People would be eating and drinking and getting married; in short living life completely unaware of their impending doom. Therefore, do not expect the anti-Christ to be so obvious, and, likewise, do not expect the rapture to be very noticeable either.

We’ve been given some foreknowledge of the AntiChrist -
and he’ll be noticed by some.
The rapture? As simply meaning dead and alive rising to meet Jesus? Should be noticeble, yes?

The world had 120 years of warning before the Flood. Those who were caught unaware were willfully blind.

Yes… And… That said, since our Lord gave Signs to look out for re: When…
for some, although the day and hour shall not be known,
call it. the season. shall.

The Church formally is taken away - Are you reerring to the false teaching put forward by some protestant sects which goes by the name of ’ the Rapture’ ?

When Christ appears in glory, He will inflict defeat and death on Antichrist by a mere word of command
" 2 Thess 2;8 And then the wicked one will be revealed , whom the Lord Jesus will slay with the breath of his mouth and will destroy with the brightness of his coming.
Church teaching is that Antichrist is in the future (probably not too distant future )

We may not know the day or the hour of Christ’s return but we certainly do know the season . See 2 Thess Ch 2 That describes the conditions that will prevail before Antichrist makes his appearance. The Bible always exhorts us to be watching (waiting ) and praying

No… Christian Scriptures refute that notion
Even some non-Christian Jews in Israel are preparing for the “end of days”
Muslims too… And other non-Abrahamic belief systems as well.

But some have always been preparing for the end of days, but that doesn’t mean that their zeal should be considered as a warning sign. If it were than the JW’s would have a lot more credibility.
I don’t believe that Scripture talks about anything occurring in 2020 or that covid19 will usher in the tribulation.
IMHO nearly all of the prophecies, especially those in Matthew 24 and Revelation were in reference to the destruction of the Temple in 70ad. I think it is futile to try and square the headlines of today with Scripture and expect the second coming to occur in our lifetime.

One must be / is supposed to be prepared Today - for their death and/or The Lord’s Arrival.
Does Scripture talk about “The Tribulation” as some speak of it?
The great Apostasy is generally agreed upon to be already here and growing.
Scriptures do give us Signs so as to know the Season - and never the Day and Hour
Christians traditionally gleaned a List of Signs which must occur before our Lord’s Return…
CV-19 … One of the promised by our Lord “plagues” ?

Absolutely. One must always be prepared for the masters return. I was speaking about those who obsess about looking at events today and focus on what next technological break through is going to be the mark of the beast.
Unfortunately, the signs get the focus rather then simply doing what we’re told be doing. And those who focus on the signs are almost never in agreement on what they mean.
Too many people become concerned with the anti-christ and the mark of the beast and 666 that they twist Scripture to fit our century.

Fortunately, Jesus asks for some of us to multi-task and do both… .
His Apostles did - and were always prepared to meet our Maker.
And we should of course bring attention to, for instance - the realities of RFID chipping -
As well as how - in the past - a person’s “number” which is based upon their name
a was a well-known activity - including the how to determine it.
Note how none of that detracts from one being ready right now -
And from Scriptures, Tradition and Magisterium - we’ve been given much INFO re: Signs…
The AntiChrist and AntiChristianity are not tall tales …
Be very wary of any who try to squelch speaking of that…
Along with our Lord’s Return…
