Ever watch the first Lord of the Rings trilogy? In the movie, the scared little hobbit Frodo tries to pass off the ring he was entrusted with to stronger characters and they all reject him. In the Bible, it says if you resist the temptation, then the devil will flee from you. From the most recent trilogy of the same franchise, in the last movie, the strong elves and a wizard take on some shadow warriors who were once ruthless leaders. I thought that was cool and at the end, the strongest one of them all appears and wears a helmet that looks shaped like two pitchforks. It seems like he's representing the anti-Christ or a powerful spawn of the devil.
The Bible refers a bit about how the devil isn't at his strongest and waiting for his period to unleash his evil in the world for the purpose of wanting to usurp God's throne and be worshiped by God's most beloved creation, mankind. Is this like some drama that's too unrealistic to fathom in real life? Perhaps, but there's something called being human and how we all have flaws. Many have tried to mimic the Bible by claiming to be the savior of the world, but nothing is really like the Bible for all of the ingenuity that authors co-wrote for thousands of years. The truthful meanings occur from studying the contents of the Bible and believing upon the actual intents and not going in some liberal direction.
Therefore, going in a nutshell based off the Christian faith, the devil right now is powerful and is setting up pieces which might be still a long while more or could just happen all of a sudden. We can't really know for sure, but I think it would be funny with the reactions of some people if they guessed the date it all happens correctly.
When the devil (Lord Sauron of Lord of the Rings) comes into power like that with the anti-Christ (umm, Saruman the White) and have full dominion of corruption with the world (the ring), they will kill a lot of people basically if you go against them. This is taken from Wikipedia:
"The name Saruman[ˈsaruman] means "man of skill";[1] he serves as an example of technology
and modernity being overthrown by forces more in tune with nature. Saruman is represented by a white hand."
