Wrong. AC is revealed at the very beginning of the DOTL.
Dan 9:27
And
he shall confirm the covenant with many for
one week (7 years): and in the
midst of the week (3-1/2 years) he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.
This guy. Albeit he has not reached the pinnacle of his power until Satan indwells him mid-trib.
Rev 6:2
And I saw, and behold a white horse: and
he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.
And this is when the AC reaches the zenith of his power......AFTER DEATH AND RESURRECTION!
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.
Rev 13:4
And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who
is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?
(HE CANNOT BE KILLED OR DEFEATED)
Rev 13:5
And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies;
and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months (SEE DAN 9:27).
Rev 13:6
And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.
And another thing:
PERSECUTION OF THE SAINTS BEGINS IN EARNEST AFTER MID-TRIB! NO RAPTURE ACTION GOING ON HERE BUDDY!
Rev 13:7
And
(THEN!) it was given unto him
to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.
