The King Of Kings!
"It was granted to [the beast] to make war with the
saints and to overcome them. And authority was
given him over every tribe, tongue, and nation."
Revelation 13:7
Before the birth of mass communication, the digital
age, and the Internet, people wondered whether it
would be possible for one person, the Antichrist,
to gain power over the whole world.
But today, the possibility does not seem remote.
We hear increasing calls for world leadership.
Bible prophecy foretells a time when a “beast” or king rises in the
latter days and literally rules the world during the seven-year Great
Tribulation until he is subdued by the returning King of kings, Jesus
Christ (Revelation 19:19). Four times, apostle John uses the word
“Antichrist” to describe the one who is coming in opposition to
(“anti”) Christ.
Christians need to be aware of cultural and geo-political trends that
suggest a need for a universal monarch or government. Even though
the Rapture will ensure Christians are protected from the Antichrist’s
fiercest actions, there are likely to be “birth pangs” leading to his
appearance.
Anyone who sets himself up in place of Christ
has “the spirit of the Antichrist” (1 John 4:3)
and must be resisted.
"If Christ is Lord of all, Christians must
recapture their sense of moral outrage."
Charles Colson
