CHUCK MISSLER:
“The more one knows about what the Bible says
about the "End Times," and the more one stays
informed on what is presently going on in the
world, the more it would appear that we are being
plunged into a period of time about which the Bible
says more than it does about any other period in
human history- including the time when Jesus
walked the shores of the Sea of Galilee or climbed
the mountains of Judea.”

3 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples
came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these
things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and
of the end of the world?
4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that
no man deceive you.
5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ;
and shall deceive many.
6 And ye shall hear of wars and
rumours of wars: see that ye be not
troubled: for all these things must
come to pass, but the end is not yet.

and kingdom against kingdom:

shall betray one another, and shall hate
one another.
11 And many false prophets shall rise, and
shall deceive many.
12 And because iniquity shall abound,
the love of many shall wax cold.
13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same
shall be saved.
14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be
preached in all the world for a witness unto all
nations; and then shall the end come.
15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of
desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand
in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him
understand:)
UNIVERSAL WORSHIP… ANTICHRIST…
Revelation 13:14-15 (During the Tribulation period)

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.
15 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.
-ONE WORLD GOVERNMENT. (UNIVERSAL BUYING
& SELLING) & A UNIVERSAL MARK…

and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their
foreheads: (Global government)
17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the
mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the
number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his
number is Six hundred threescore and six.
