What is Satan’s attitude towards the second coming of Christ?

Satan is aware that he is incapable of opposing the Lord Christ in His second coming; so he makes every effort to deceive people and lead them astray, convincing them that a false christ or his followers are in fact the Christ who is to come. Thus we read: “Little children, it is the last hour; and as you have heard that the Antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come, by which we know that it is the last hour” (1 John 2:18). And, “Then if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or ‘There!’ do not believe it” (Matt. 24:23).

The apostle John says, “It is the last hour.” In every generation, the faithful have felt that it is the last hour; and so, they prepare themselves for His coming and are cautious of Satan’s deception. Every day, the believer tells himself that these may well be the last moments of the battle between God and the devil. God supports His children and grants them victory; and the devil also fights, pouring his spirit into antichrists in an effort to spoil the faith and life of God’s children. God’s children love their heavenly Father and consider the days of their earthly sojourn, however long, as ‘the last hour,’ which must come to an end that they may then live in Paradise until they are crowned for eternity. In this way the apostle reassures his children not to fear those who oppose them.
