It is mentioned in the Rishis 12 Mahajanas by Abbadur Tarz that Dajjal’s pastime is supposed to be quite ancient whereas Bhishma was quite recent so from the chronological point of view if we see that surely Dajjal’s pastime is being narrated by Shukadeva Goswami so it must have happened long long time ago and Bhishma was just a little bit before Shukadeva Goswami or Sita Goswami both of them so yes Bhishma in general it is described especially by the Argo Swamis that the lord and his associates important associates they are eternal persons and when the lord descends not everyone in his pastimes is an eternal associate there are other people who just happen to be there at that time and they are very fortunate to be associated with the lord they may have done some bhakti they may have done some punya whatever but they are not his eternal associates there are certain gopis who descend with Krishna on the spiritual world and there are some other gopis who are sadhana siddha and when they associate with Krishna’s eternal associate gopis they learn they get training and then they attain the spiritual world so Bhishma is an eternal associate of the supreme lord and he descends with the lord whenever the lord descends and in that sense when he is referring to Bhishma as one of the mahajanas he is not necessarily referring to the Bhishma who is coming in this kaliyuga that Bhishma can refers to a Bhishma who had appeared in an earlier age and there also he acted as an example now the exact pastimes may not happen in the exact same way in each time there may be some differences in different yugas but overall the characters behave according to character the way Bhishma is now that’s how more or less Bhishma has been earlier and that Bhishma whom he is referring to over here is also a knower of dharma is that clear?
