This is Satan's ultimate scheme.If he can annihilate the entire nation Israel,and murder everyone of them,there is really nothing left for Jesus to come back for,to rule from Jerusalem as his capital,and bring the remants of Israel to him.
And I believe this is why he shall give his seat,his authority,and his power to AC.
This will be his ultimate gamble and the last chance that he can annihilate the entire nation Israel in the hand of AC,and try to thwart the return of our LORD..
But we have God's word that there will be remanats of Israel who shall escape this horrible persecution in the second half of the tribulation.
A couple of things come to mind for me:
First, does Satan know about the rapture of the Church? Since he has access to our minds, it's hard to imagine that he doesn't. He also reads the bible.
If so, is he going to use the rapture as his catapult for his rise to power?
I hope that these questions don't seem terribly naive, I just haven't found anything definitive in the bible about it other than the references to the restrainer being removed.
On another matter, there seems to be an interval of time between the Satan and his angels being cast from heaven (where it seems that he still has access as the accuser), and being prince of the air, and being cast to Earth. My thinking favors that he hasn't been cast to Earth yet, but only has access to us through the air (for now - a very short time).
Curious about your thoughts.

He knows the rapture of the church for sure.And he is plotting his scheme in the post rapture era.A terrified scheme it will be.
And concerning your second question,have you ever heard of the testimony of Rev. Howard Pittman?
I have a chance to listen to his testimony today of him taking to the second heaven where he was shown the demon and Satan dwells,before he was taken to the third heaven,to plead with God.
I wept watching these. For so long I have been praying to the Lord that He would give me a dream, a vision, some sort of confirmation of His coming, like so many else here at Rita. I suppose I had in my mind what such a confirmation should look like... comparing what others have experienced. But I have not received any such thing.
But in watching these videos I believe the Lord so pressed into my heart His heart for His Jewish people. I see a bit clearer now. I see a people of the promise who rejected their Savior, but that Savior still is so in love with them and continues to move and work in them desiring for them to turn to Him and be saved.
We each see and share the part that He has given to us. I see now how wrong it is for us to compare ourselves with others with what they see and experience, yet we don't have. The Lord gives to each of us, that which we need, that which he intends for us. And it doesn't matter if it looks so different than what others are given. We need one another and are here for one another, a whole Body of different parts, different abilities, different visions, etc.
Thanks for posting these videos, Admin.
Linda Ann, Satan does not have access to our minds as far as perceiving our thoughts. He has underlings that whisper nasty nothings which can twist us if we listen to it, but he is not omniscient (all knowing) like our Lord. I do think he knows the scriptures and that he knows somethings about the rapture, but he also doesn't have the Holy Spirit residing in Him speaking in a small, still voice. I am certain that if he had his way all of us and all the descendants of Israel would be wiped out, but He that is in us is greater than he that is in the world.
Keep praying for Israel, as they will soon go through more horrors to turn their hearts to Jesus as their salvation.
Satan can provoke thoughts but he can't read our minds so we must always be silent in prayer and not talk out loud when speaking to Our Lord. Always to pray in silence because then it is our spirit that is praying. Satan knows all about the rapture because he studies the bible and knows the signs much better than we do, so right now he is working overtime. 
Andrearoma, that would make it hard to pray with you in agreement. I have actually heard we should always pray aloud. I usually pray silently when alone and softly when in groups. It makes me wonder if the Lord's angels ever respond to our prayers directly, or do they wait until they hear from Him. Not that we should direct our prayers to our angels, since God alone is worthy to receive prayer, but if I heard a blind person asking the Lord for help to walk across the street, I would do so without waiting for a word from the Lord. I think maybe the angels around us would do so as well.

You're on to something, Dave~~ Holy Spirit is pressing your heart ~~ take a look @ this video that talks about THIS generation witnessing so much prophesy fulfilled ~~ Israel (The Jews' Destiny is beginning to be fulfilled) . . this generation is being prepared for Messiah's return ~~~ oh, my goodness how much sooner the Rapture
Adminstrator and Donna I too and grateful that you shared these videos with us. We hear that the Jewish people are being persecuted all the time but actually seeing it is indeed more sobering and thought provoking. These videos let us see close up and personal what the "world" is doing to God's chosen. That being said, I with all my spiritual silbings here on RitaNow will pray for Israel until the return of Jesus!
Thank you all who have responded to this thread!
It is proof to me and confirmation of what the Holy Spirit said to me, that the Messiah is coming for His bride any minute.
Why?
Because, I have been on MANY Believing forums and this is the only one I have found that has this strong witness concerning the destiny of Israel and the Jewish people.
Also, #2, this site has a strong hunger, thirst and searching hearts for HOLINESS and RIGHTEOUSNESS!
This the ONE site that I have found that has these two spiritual elements in its foundation.
God continue to be with you all here at RITANow, and may He come TODAY!
Thanks for your reply, Dodili.v.anilo.
You have no idea what hearing this means to us coming from you, our only member living in Israel. Our prayer for years now is for many more there to hear the truth, and come to this site for fellowship while we wait, too.
Blessings to you today - & all the days that remain. 
It is interesting and amazing how the peoples of the world know the "end is near". We know the signs are everywhere. The Jews are speaking of the Messiah coming in the near future. Even the Muslims and their Mahdi fable, all seems to be pointing to this period of time we are now living in.
I be praising God! He is returning soon and I am excited!
