Beast does not seem like a kingdom to me. I guess we need to understand what an abyss is and who is presently in the abyss that could come out of it...... but a kingdom would be very hard to fit into that description in my personal view. When a horn or beast is given a mouth, this refers to its leader (Daniel 7, Revelation 13) I believe the abyss is symbolic language to indicate a kingdom re-arising from its deep destruction. The Beast is both a man and his nation.

Jesus' coming at the rapture is a spiritual event; in the complete end of time he comes physically.

It must be something physical that must be shown before anyone can buy or sell.

yep If the saints are all raptured who is he going to make war with.... It also says people will kill you thinking they are doing a service for God. Obviously the rapture comes after that event.

How could it happen any second? Does it not say Elijah will come to restore all things?
