Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints. For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.
Jude 1:3-4
This passage is not stated in a prophetic sense, although it tells us that the damnation of the ungodly was ordained long ago, in fact, from the foundation of the world. When the plan of salvation was devised, it would have included the demise of the ungodly.
Speaking of the Anti-christ:
Revelation 13:8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.

Your article helped me a lot, is there any more related content? Thanks!
Many passages tell of the false prophets, false preachers and false teachers who have entered into the assembly of believers. Paul warns of grievous wolves, as our Lord said, “Wolves in sheep’s clothing”, and of our own brethren straying from the path for personal attainment.
