Revelation 13:4; He Demands Worship!
Revelation 13:4 And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?
He demands worship! And he would wield such power that the world will worship him so that they may get the peace and prosperity that they sought. He would have been a military dictator!
Recall Russell spoke of the empowerment of an international authority with a monopoly on force. This is the man!
Revelation 6:2 And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.
In the nuclear age, indeed, it will be a peaceful conquest for this world dictator who wields the power of a nuclear arsenal.
In the biometrics age, with the implant of the microchip that has the ability of mind control, economic enslavement through digital currency, and 5G and beyond satellite network, this is not so far-fetched a reality. The technology is available to enslave the world.
May God be gracious to open our spiritual eyes to see the deception before us and the nearness of the rise of the Antichrist kingdom. Amen.
