It’s the anti Christ who signs the peace treaty so he certainly has some power by that time already.
For eighteen hundred years, the Christian church regarded the book of Revelation as history. When Revelation was written, apocalyptic literature was all the rage. There are about forty extant today. The book of Revelation was written almost entirely as a compilation of Old Testament prophecies and Matt. 24 and was written by John in such a fashion to avoid detection by the Roman government. All this elaborate detailing of future events is laughable. It is entertaining to see people fan dance around the opening - “to show unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass.” As Stuart Russell wrote, the end time has turned out to be longer than the period of which it was supposed to be the end of.

Why do the same folks who push the 1800’s invention of a “Rapture”, also contend that we’re somehow in the midst of a Tribulation that they were assured of avoiding?
For those that believe that Biblical prophecy (including Book of Revalation) will be fulfilled as it was written (I do), once we get to a specific event that is tied directly to a time frame, the prophecy will be fulfilled.
So specific prophecies tied to a time frame in Revelation are key. Most prophecies are not tied to other prophecies by time which makes Revelation unique.
