Considering some of the evil men who have been in this world, he could for every age, have someone waiting in the wings as it were, to make his appearance hen he thinks the time is right.

I believe this has to be the case in light of the rapture.

The Rapture was barely a footnote in Scripture until the 1820s

Now its a whole subset of protestantism.

Nothing like creating fiction out if whole cloth.
