1. The Antichrist makes war against the saints
This is the verse that seals it.
Daniel 7:21 (ESV)
> “As I looked, this horn made war with the saints and prevailed over them.”
You cannot make war with people who are not there.
---
2. This war lasts until Jesus returns
Daniel tells us when it stops.
Daniel 7:22 (ESV)
> “until the Ancient of Days came, and judgment was given for the saints…”
The saints are being oppressed right up until Christ comes.

The saints are being oppressed right up until Christ comes.

3. Revelation says the same thing — very plainly
John repeats Daniel.
Revelation 13:7 (ESV)
> “Also it was allowed to make war on the saints and to conquer them.”
Again — saints are present.

4. The saints are identified as believers
Scripture defines who these saints are.
Revelation 14:12 (ESV)
> “Here is a call for the endurance of the saints, those who keep the commandments of God and their faith in Jesus.”
These are not “leftover people.” These are Christians.

5. Jesus said His people would still be here
Jesus never promised removal — He promised endurance.
Matthew 24:9 (ESV)
> “Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and put you to death, and you will be hated by all nations for my name’s sake.”
Matthew 24:13 (ESV)
> “But the one who endures to the end will be saved.”
You don’t endure something you’re not present for.

6. The resurrection happens after the tribulation
This was the final connection.
Matthew 24:29–31 (ESV)
> “Immediately after the tribulation of those days… he will gather his elect.”
Paul agrees:
1 Thessalonians 4:16–17 (ESV)
> “The Lord himself will descend… and the dead in Christ will rise first.”
Same event. Same timing. Same people.
