"And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast that the image of the beast should both speak & cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast to be killed"

This "Image of the Beast," also described in Bible prophecy as the "Abomination of Desolation," is likely to be some kind of incredibly high-tech supercomputer, linked to the New World Order's telecommunications network. Scripture says it will speak and somehow "cause those who refuse to worship it to be killed" Jesus said that when you see this image standing "in the holy place ... then shall be Great Tribulation such as the world has never known."

A good part of the Book of Revelation describes in horrific detail the terrible pestilences, plagues & nightmarish monsters that God lets loose to aflict the Antichrist forces, who are trying to wipe out all who refuse to take the Mark of the Beast. The Bible spells it out in years, months & days exactly how long this period of Great Tribulation will be ... 3-1/2 years, or 42 months, or 1260 days. So on the day that the Antichrist breaks the covenant & sets up his image in Jerusalem the countdown of the exact number of days until the Second Coming of Jesus Christ will begin!

Immediately after the Tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: And then shall appear the sign of the Son of Man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his chosen from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other (Matthew 24:29-31).

The world's darkest period of tribulation and horror under the Antichrist will abruptly end with the dawning of the brightest dawn as Jesus Christ Himself returns to gather His children to be with Him!

Lights, trumpets, thunder, earthquakes and gigantic meteor showers will all herald this climactic event! God's children who have died throughout the ages will be resurrected in new miraculous bodies, and burst forth from their graves and ascend to meet Jesus in the air.

Live Christians will be transformed and will rise from the earth, floating right up through ceilings & buildings & cars & right up into the clouds to meet the Lord! Such is the scenario depicted in the Bible of the Second Coming of Christ as He snatches His children out of reach of their evil Antichrist persecutors & whisks them away to the grandest, most glorious & thrilling victory celebration that's ever been held--the great "Marriage Supper of the Lamb" in Heaven!

Meanwhile, down on Earth, the horrible Wrath of God is being poured out upon the Antichrist forces left behind, a time so terrible that the Bible says that men will "seek death but be unable to find it"!

Then shortly after Jesus' 2nd Coming, down from the sky will come the great hosts of Heaven with Jesus in the lead to destroy the Antichrist and his one-world empire in the awesome Battle of Armageddon.

This great slaughter of the Antichrist and his armies will take place in and around the valley of Megiddo near Haifa in Israel. It will mark the end of man's cruel rule on earth, an Jesus, the King of kings and Lord of Lords, and His Heavenly forces forcibly take over the World to rule and reign and run it the way it should have been run if man had not disobeyed God and gone his own selfish way! And so begins a period known as the Millennium, a thousand years of peace and plenty and paradise on Earth.

To say the least, we are living in very exciting times & there are soon going to be some great global changes made! The curtains have been drawn aside on the last great scene of Earth's great drama, the act has begun & it cannot stop now! Like it or not, each one of our lives will be caught up in these great events. The countdown to Armageddon has begun.

The interpretation of these Bible prophecies which we have examined are not unique, but are shared by millions of Christians worldwide, both Catholic and Protestant. Many Muslims believe that passages of the Quran and other Islamic writings foretell a number of these same apocalyptic events.

One of the purposes of End time Bible prophecy is to let us know know what's going to happen in the future so we won't be taken by surprise by these great events, so that we can rest assured that it is all a part of God's pre-ordained plan.

The best way to be prepared for the future is to receive Jesus as your Savior, as He has promised to be with His children to protect & provide for them and be their Guide through perilous times. Jesus will give you the strength and courage to bravely face these future troubles and help you survive until the End of this world, after which He will reward you beyond your wildest dreams in the Heavenly world to come!

If you don't yet know Jesus then we'd like to invite you right now to receive his free gift of everlasting life by praying the following this prayer:

Dear Jesus, please come into my life. I now open my heart to You.
Forgive me for my past mistakes and sins. Please give me the gift of eternal life. Help me to love you and with the power of Your love to love others.
Amen

"There's only one life, it will soon be past! Only what's done for Christ will last! Jesus said that we "must work the works of Him that has sent us while it is day, for the night cometh when no man can work." Please work with us & help us in any way that you can to tell the world of God's love, and to help others through these difficult times, and show them what a wonderful world its going to be!
