    • Some Catholic interpreters of the Apocalypse place the Second Coming and end of the world many centuries after the period of the Antichrist.  According to their interpretation, after the Antichrist reigns and is defeated, the Church will rise to a glory never seen before.  Then after many centuries, the whole world will eventually lose the faith (again), and the Second Coming and conflagration will occur without any events or indications immediately preceding it.  Fr. Sylvester Berry (The Apocalypse of St. John, 1921) and Fr. Herman Kramer (The Book of Destiny, 1955) both give this interpretation.

    Whether that's how it will actually be, no one can really say.  But it seems like a well-founded interpretation, and it's encouraging to think that if we live through the time of the Antichrist, we will see the Church reign in Her greatest glory on Earth.

    • There is also this prophecy from the Book of Isias that seems to be unfulfilled.

     "And he shall judge the Gentiles, and rebuke many people: and they shall turn their swords into ploughshares, and their spears into sickles: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they be exercised any more to war." (Isias 2:4) 

    It seems that this could refer to the period of peace promised at Fatima, as this verse mentions that armies will longer be trained for war, and that former weapons will be turned into instruments of agriculture. The phrasing of "nation shall not lift up sword against nation" seems remarkably similar to when Christ speaks about how, during the times shortly preceding the arrival of the Antichrist, that "nation shall rise against nation" in Matthew 24:7. Both verses seem to imply that their respective events will take place on a world scale, and obviously a peace of this kind referred to in the above passage has not happened. This could also fit into the message of Akita, which mentioned that after the Chastisement no military weapons would be left for men to defend themselves with.

    But how will the Antichrist come and gain such power if there will be such a great restoration?
