The "Anti-Christ" isn't what popular mythology has made it out to be.
There is no "rapture" stuff in orthodox Christian theology. That is all Evangelical stuff. More "Wal*Mart" than Christian.
Lol maybe you didn't actually read the passage but the very point of it is that he WASN'T speaking metaphorically. That's the reason many of his followers left him.
Than he turned to Peter and asked "will you leave me too Peter?"
And he turned to him and said, "Rabbi, where would I go?"
Instead of being like a Liberal with the Constitution and making words mean whatever you want them to mean, why don't you go back to the Church fathers and see what they believed it meant?
Y'know, since they actually knew the apostles and ran the first century Chuch etc.
