The Antichrist is already here, he's not moved into world domination yet. After JESUS comes for the church, which is us, then the Antichrist will move in to world domination. We don't need to fear, only have Faith that JESUS has got it all under control.

The anti christ definelty comes before Jesus.
I am not sure what kind of church you go to however it appears they don't understand the bible.
There are also many different views on the anti christ, some say he isn't a literal person. Others say he came arleady, Hitler, Nero or others are used. However the correct view is that he is yet to come.
Now the reason they might say that Jesus comes first, is to rapture the church. However he does not come until after the Great Tribulation at Armageddon.
Revelation 19:11-18
I saw heaven standing open and there before me was a white horse, whose rider is called Faithful and True. With justice he judges and makes war. His eyes are like blazing fire, and on his head are many crowns. He has a name written on him that no one knows but he himself. He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and his name is the Word of God. The armies of heaven were following him, riding on white horses and dressed in fine linen, white and clean. Out of his mouth comes a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations. "He will rule them with an iron scepter." He treads the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God Almighty. On his robe and on his thigh he has this name written: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS. And I saw an angel standing in the sun, who cried in a loud voice to all the birds flying in midair, "Come, gather together for the great supper of God, so that you may eat the flesh of kings, generals, and mighty men, of horses and their riders, and the flesh of all people, free and slave, small and great."
Now there are many views on the tribulation itself
Pre-trib, Post-Trib, Mid- Trib
This is the view of when the rapture takes place. The Pre-tribulation view is the one held by most churches today. It teaches that Christians will be raptured out before (Satans Wrath) The Great Tribulation. Although the Great Tribulation in reality is only 3 1/2 years, not 7 as they teach. The signing of the peace treaty with Israel is the beginning of the last 7 years. And the Abomination of Desolation when the Anti Christ, sits in the Jewish temple and declares himself to be God, is the start of the last 3 1/2 years. Now although most people take the pre-trib view, I don't believe it is correct. After studying endtime
http://www.endtime.com/audio.asp these audio lessons on my ipod, I was convinced we will still be here.
If the first ressurection occurs after the great tribulation, then how could their be a previous ressurection???
Revelations 20: 4-6
Then I saw thrones, and seated on them were those to whom the authority to judge was committed. Also I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for the testimony of Jesus and for the word of God, and those who had not worshiped the beast or its image and had not received its mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life and reigned with Christ for a thousand years. 5 The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were ended. This is the first resurrection.
However if the resurrection occurs at the end of the tribulation period, the same time the two witnesses are taken up to heaven. Then it works out perfectly.
There are many places in the bible that give good reasons why we should believe that we will be here.

If you study that endtime site, you will begin to understand the book of revelations like you have no idea. I mean you will be utterly amazed, at how all of the propechies begin to make sense. This guy (Irvin Baxter) has studied Revelations most of his life, so I would check it out. There is way to much to tell you.

The Anti Christ will show up first. There is alot of talk about a Rapture and that is not found in Scripture. It is something someone made up.

Honey, the antichrist is nor one particular individual. Anyone who does not believe in Christ is an antichrist. Plain and simple as that.

I'm unsure whether you'll find an absolute answer. To the best of my knowledge, it is somewhat ambiguous, and I believe different denominations teach differently.
However, we have only limited knowledge of the past, and we have no knowledge of the future. We can speculate, and it is very good to be educated, but to dispute over such matters which we know not is pointless.

Jesus is coming when least expected.That is the reason why there is parable of ten sisters who had gone to wait for bridegroom.The five clever ones kept enough fuel for their lamps while foolish ones were found with no fuel when bridegroom arrived.Read "fuel" to mean your faith,"bridegroom to" be Jesus."sisters with fuel" to be believers While those without fuels are equated with sinners.Keep your lamp burning.Jesus is soon coming to judge us and it is upto you to choose your side.Have Godly time.

The Almighty YHVH created this world very good. Once man sinned, he could no longer meet the requirements of YHVH. Because of His great love for man, He sent His son the Savior. The Savior's name means YHVH is my Savior!--YAHOSHUA! The only way one can have his sins taken care of is to invite the Savior in to carry them. If a person chooses to remain attached to their sins, they will be consumed in the cleansing fire the Almighty will send to cleanse this world so He can make it new! How could the Almighty be more generous? Churchianity is a collection of Pagan religions. Study the truth of Scripture!
