Second coming is future. In the day of the little horn and ten kings.

25 And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.

26 But the judgment shall sit, and they shall take away his dominion, to consume and to destroy it unto the end.

27 And the kingdom and dominion, and the greatness of the kingdom under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people of the saints of the most High, whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey him.

The time, times, half time is in Revelation 12, after Satan has been cast down to earth (from the second heaven). Knowing his time is short. Future.

James, those are not reasons to think that Satan will be presenting himself as Jesus.

If Satan were to be presenting himself as Jesus - why would the beast being blaspheming against God, his name, his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven?

Revelation 13.6 And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.

If Satan were to be presenting himself as Jesus, why would the beast be making war with (against) the saints (which are them who believe in Jesus) ?

7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.

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.

Revelation 13:6, 7,8 Those are referring to the antichrist kingdom that will come into existence from the 4th beast Daniel 7, after the leg of iron, the feet of iron and miry clay. The enemy will impersonate the Saviour after the mark of the beast is enforced to lie to the whole world to make people believe that those people who have the Seal of GOD are rebellious and are the reason why the plagues are falling on the earth.
