To escape the awful things that are about to
come on the world, we have to accept God's
gift of salvation by grace. He forgives and
gives eternal life to those who turn to Him
and receive Him as personal Savior!

Pray that the Father will forgive your sins
and ask Jesus into your heart to give you
the power to live for Him by the infilling of
the Holy Spirit and ask for the assurance of
your salvation. In Jesus' Name.
The Bible tells us of the Antichrist's beginning,
his rise, his reign and his ruin.

But Jesus is the Lord and He will reign and so
will we if we are His.
"Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent:
for the kingdom of heaven is at hand."
Matthew 4:17

But the Jews said " But his citizens hated him,
and sent a message after him, saying, We will
not have this man to reign over us."
Luke 19:14

Because of that they have had to wait at least
2000 years or more for Jesus' Millennial Reign
which could have happened then.
At the end of the Tribulation there will be a
time of terrible judgment on the world.

But it will start the Kingdom of Jesus Christ.
He will rule the world for 1,000 years. It is
called the Milliennial Reign of Christ.

This is the time the world will know peace
and perfection and prosperity, and the world
will have all the blessings it could have had,
had it chose to follow Jesus much earlier.
It should be clear to us. Man cannot fight
against God.

Zechariah 12:9
"And it shall come to pass in that day, that
I will seek to destroy all the nations that
come against Jerusalem."
The Antichrist and the devil will be captured
and they will be conquered. The devil will be
tossed into the bottomless pit, and the Anti-
christ into the lake of fire.

This is the second death. So the Antichrist's
attempt to take over the world and to make
it perfect doesn't succeed.

This war glorifies Jesus and is disasterous for
the devil and the antichrist.
"KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS"
is Jesus.

The armies of the world lead by the Antichrist,
will be in the city of Jerusalem. But divine
intervention arrives. Jesus comes with all His
saints and will deliver Israel and drive out the
armies of the Antichrist.
"and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and
he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and
wrath of Almighty God."
Revelation 19:15

Man claiming that they can bring about a, utopia,
a perfect world by their own efforts is not in the
Word of God. Instead, it says that righteousness
will be imposed with a rod of iron, Jesus Christ
Himself.

Jesus will be the one and only ruler and He will
rule with absolute righteousness.
"And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword,
that with it he should smite the nations. . . ,"
Revelation 19:15

This reminds us to pay attention to the Word
of God. When we know the Word of God, we
have the sword of the Spirit. And with the
sword of the Spirit, we can overcome every
thing in the world.

Jesus will bring a sword that comes out of His
mouth. With it He will smite the nations.
This is an analogy. He will impress them by His
words.
John now describes the vision he saw by the
Holy Spirit of the future.

Revelation 9:11 He looks up and heaven opens.
He see a white horse and a man on it called
Faithful and True, King of Kings and
Lord of Lords.

He will not come again as gentle Jesus, meek
and mild. He will come as judge making war.

He is wearing a white robe and coming with
all the saints in heaven on horses. . .His army!
The Bible tells of God's response to the war
that is waged against Him. It gives us a look
at the battle that will be fought before the
Millennium.

It (the battle) will testify to the world forever
of God's rule and that He will not be moved;
that nobody can bring an army that can do
away with Him. They will see the foolishness
of thinking it can be done.
From all over the world, an army is gathered
from every nation to surround the city of
Jerusalem in the Holy Land.

The Antichrist blames the Messianic Jews for
his problem with God, who he believes lives in
Jerusalem.

This world army comes into the Holy Land
area attempting to do away with the existence
of God forever.
The Antichrist gathers an army together now
to do battle with the Lord. He has declared
war against God, now he must bring an army
to fight Him.

As he sets out to do this, we see a picture of
his decline and his final days in scripture.
Psalm 2:1-3
"Why do the heathen rage, and the people
imagine a vain thing?The kings of the earth
set themselves, and the rulers take counsel
together, against the LORD, and against his
anointed, saying,Let us break their bands
asunder, and cast away their cords from us.
He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh:
the LORD shall have them in derision."
A world fighting against God, what could be
more stupid and unbelievable? It is going
to.

We must watch for anything anti-God to
start happening around us. Especially by
those in positions of power, in government,
education and business.

Even if it is not much, anything against God,
can grow into atheism.
This is the most insane thing he, the Anti-
christ, comes up with. He is going to let
everyone know that nothing is going to
stand in his way, not even God.

Especially the 'God' the Judeo-Christian
has faith for and believes in. He will be
so anti-God that he will declare physical
war against the God who has created every
thing.
Now the Antichrist will be forced to com-
plete his plan. Because he claims to be god,
and has his own religion; then he has to
make war against the real true God.

Imagine this little man claiming to beat
God; the person who made the universe
and made him.
His religion will be very cruel. Revelation
13:15 says that the image will demand to
be worshipped. And if anyone doesn't
worship the beast will be put to death.

It is terrible to even mention but a lot of
people will die during the Tribulation.

They will be executed by the guillotine
because they have not chosen to believe
and follow the Antichrist. Desparate now,
the devil will make sure that his demands
are met.
Then the Antichrist will have an image of
himself made and it will speak like a man.
It will be so realistic that the people will be
convinced that it is him.

They will be told to worship the image. We
are told that that is what paganism is about.

Paganism is a lot more common in the world
than we would like to believe.
Many people today believe that the presence
of God is proved by signs and wonders.

In Revelation 13 we see that the Antichrist,
the devil, will be able to work what appears
like miracles in front of the people.

They do not, alone, prove the presence of
God.
" And he doeth great wonders, so that he
maketh fire come down from heaven on the
earth in the sight of men,
And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth

by the means of those miracles which he had
power to do in the sight of the beast; saying
to them that dwell on the earth, that they
should make an image to the beast, which
had the wound by a sword, and did live.
And he had power to give life unto the image

of the beast, that the image of the beast should
both speak, and cause that as many as would
not worship the image of the beast should be
killed." Revelation 13:13-14

With the way they can make movies and tv
today. . .it will be very easy for the Antichrist
to appear as in these verses.
