There are different era's or transition periods from one kingdom to another. As best as I can reckon, here they are…
The bible as a whole, is written for all generations in every era. But when it comes to bible prophecy, some prophecies may be for a specific era or several. Some prophecies are only fulfilled once and some are fulfilled more than once. Some prophecies can be partially fulfilled in one era, and completely fulfilled in another. Some prophecies were fulfilled in the natural/physical in one era but will play out spiritually in another era and both are exactly as written. Here are some examples that are color coded to show which eras they belong to…
This is a very simple, basic visual to show that prophecy is not so rigid; that there is not only ONE fulfillment at ONE time and all the others are wrong. The Word of God is a living document moving throughout time and outside of time (the eternal) like water or the wind - like the Holy Spirit who inspired its writing.
Keep this is mind when it comes to the antichrist because there are many descriptors of him, but not ALL is for one man as there are more than one prophetic antichrist for a given era. See 666/Antichrist.
