Prolonging Days
Could prolonging days be pointing to antichrists ruling in tribulation?

SUMMARY CONCLUSION
God appears to be using the language of living many days, years, a hundred or a thousand years to the rejoicing and triumphing of the wicked in tribulation prior to the separation. Then their years are said to be cut short in the midst of their days when Christ is revealed in judgment. The elect however, now are said to prolong their days as God brings them out of Babylon.
