When the thousand-year rule of Christ ends on earth, Satan will be released to deceive man again.
Hindson states there are those who still haven’t accepted Christ. If so, how did they get to be with Christ during his 1000 year rule on earth, or are they the ones who are born during that time frame.

If Rome is the Babylon for the Antichrist, is the Catholic Religion the bases of the one world religion the False Prophet will be heading up?

My belief through study of prophecy is that during the thousand year reign of Christ on earth, people will still marry and have babies. Per prophecy, people will not die, but it does not say that people will not be born. It is the children that will still have to make a choice for Christ. 1000 years equals the chance for a huge population boom after the catastrophes following the rapture (or preceding it depending on your theological view). There is also no proof that rome will be the new babylon. There is every chance that Babylon can rise again from it's physical ruins in Iraq. It still exists and many of its walls a re surprisingly structurally sound after all of this time. Also tends to make sense as the center of end-times prophecy lies so close to the ruins of ancient Babylon.

Alot of it is determined on how you interpret the book of revalations. Preterism is a variant of Christian eschatology which holds that some or all of the biblical prophecies concerning the Last Days (or End Times) refer to events which actually happened in the first century after Christ's birth. It fits in line with Apocalyptic writing of the time which is a style of writing that means "to uncover" they wrote in cryptic language as they could not openly speak out against those that were persecuting them (the romans when John of Patmos wrote Revalations)

The more popular belief is the Futurist view, which gets more airplay, books and noteriety because it claims that the events in Revalation are still in the distance. The question that arises is this, John wrote the book as a series of letters to different churchs, why would talking about a struggle 2000 years plus into the future have any relavance for these 1st century christians who were facing constant persecution? Why would john send them those letters? it doesn't make any sense.

Although there is some prophecy that may yet be unfufilled, for the large part the events in Revalations 3-22 are largely issues dealing with 1st century christians and gives us a view of the trials and tribuations our people felt in the century after the death of Christ.
