REV.13:5-8 "And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months. (6) And he opened his mouth in blasphemies against GOD, to blapheme HIS name, and HIS tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven. (7) And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them and power was given unto him over kindreds, and tongues, and nations. (8) And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the LAMB slain from the foundation of the world."

It is amazing how the Christian Bible has foretold the future happenings of world events that we are beginning to see, thousands of years later. The above scripture text is a prophecy predicting the coming of Satan as the anti-christ; whom GOD will permit to have a short rein in the latter days of this world age. Anti-christ translates as, (the instead of CHRIST), GOD'S word predicts he wilcome into power in the latter days before the return of JESUS CHRIST; and will bring the greatly feared tribulation that will cause the most disastrous events earthly people will ever have to endure. 2Thes.2:-4 "Let no man deceive you by any means, for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, as the son of perdition. (4) Who opposeth and exalteth himself above that is called GOD, or that is worshipped: so that he as GOD sitteth in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God." Paul strongly warns Satan will do all this as described; but that ALMIGHTY GOD has already condemned Satan to death in Hell.

GOD'S word is powerful and true and cannot be changed. The world will see and experience all the trouble anti-christ will cause; but let us now seriously consider the predicted falling away from GOD that may cause HIM to permit Satan to have his short rein on earth. GOD'S Spirit let Paul see it thousands of years ago, do you believe we can see it now? We are living in darkness if we do not see a few things that GOD sees in our present world that will anger HIM. Don't become bored if only a few things are mentioned to show they result from a falling away from GOD. It will prove the Bible can accurately foretell the future and we will see all the unwanted above unless we see a returning to God. If our names are not written in that all important book of the LAMB we will worship anti-christ and suffer his terrible fate, separated from God.!
