Part 15. World War III. Battle of Two Titans.

 

Jeremiah 51:46. And lest your heart faint, and ye fear for the rumour that shall be heard in the land; a rumour shall both come one year, and after that in another year shall come a rumour, and violence in the land, ruler against ruler






 

Introduction.

War, famine and disease - there is no greater misery than this, but it will befall the earth in the final years. Famine and disease are a byproduct of war. Due to the terrible wars that the Antichrist will wage to conquer absolutely all nations, agriculture, medicine, industry, and the economies of the warring countries will grind to a halt. The atmosphere will be one of chaos, violence, and hopelessness. Everyone will try to save their lives at any cost. And the increasing natural disasters will only worsen the already critical situation on Earth - its destruction and the death of those who live on it.

Revelation 6:7. And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see.8. And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth

The breaking of the 4th seal of the Apocalypse marks the beginning of the Third World War.

A quarter of the Earth's land area represents almost the entire landmass of the Earth.

The land surface of planet Earth is approximately 30% (0.8% higher than the more accurate estimate of 29.2%); the rest is made up of oceans and bodies of water within continents and islands. In total, only 4.2% of the Earth's land surface will escape war.

Revelation 13:2… and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority

Satan will provide all his power and authority to the Antichrist for one purpose: to destroy as many people as possible and as quickly as possible, because time is running out.

The Horseman whose name is Death!

Hebrews 2:14. Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil

The devil, also known as Satan, wields great power, known as the power of death. Satan will temporarily transfer this power of death to the Antichrist.

1 Corinthians 15:26. The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death

On the Judgment Day, when God comes to earth to end sin, war, robbery and violence, Satan, the Antichrist and his assistant, the false prophet, will be seized by Angels for further judgment and imprisonment in the abyss, in hell. The fate of the Antichrist and the false prophet is the eternal lake of fire, eternal torment, and suffering. A slightly different scenario awaits Satan. He will be imprisoned for 1000 years and during this period, the saints will rule the earth. This period will be called the millennial kingdom of the saints. After all these years, Satan will be released and to once again test the faith of people on earth. He will succeed in seducing many of them, once again rallying them to battle against the Lord, and surrounding Jerusalem, but God's fire from heaven will destroy them forever. Satan will join the long-languishing Antichrist and the false prophet in the lake of fire, and this time forever and ever, irrevocably.

Whether we like it or not, we must know one important thing: everything, absolutely everything what happens on earth or will happen in the future is God's plan. It is His will; He planned it this way, and so it will come to pass. We cannot blame Him for all the troubles, grief and horror that will befall the earth. He cannot be held responsible for this. All the blame lies with humanity. Blessed are those who understand this.

Romans 6:23. For the wages of sin is death

An important spiritual law is that the punishment for sin is death, and death will soon visit the entire planet in its full measure. Therefore, it is also important to know or understand that the Antichrist and all his deeds are carefully planned by God as His Jugement. The Antichrist will destroy exactly as many people as he is entitled and permitted, not a soul more or less. The Antichrist is God's creation, the fulfillment of His Word - the punishment for sin is death.

This is what the prophet Isaiah speaks about:

Isaiah 54:16. Behold, I have created the smith that bloweth the coals in the fire, and that bringeth forth an instrument for his work; and I have created the waster to destroy

Isaiah 41:25. I have raised up one from the north, and he shall come: from the rising of the sun shall he call upon my name: and he shall come upon princes as upon morter, and as the potter treadeth clay

God creates a destroyer to destroy, to punish sinners and to test the faithfulness of those who believe in Him. He creates the Antichrist.

If you are a believer, don't delude yourself with the thought that evil and death will not touch you. Every person on earth will be tested. Every person will be given a choice and your future destiny will depend on it. Just don't make the most important mistake of your life: when disaster, grief, tears and death touch you and your family, never blame God for it! Never! No matter how painful it may be physically and emotionally at that moment, grit your teeth, gather your strength, ask God for forgiveness for your sins, bless the Lord, and persevere to the end, in faith and prayer.

Otherwise, if you blame God for your troubles, and if you even begin to blaspheme Him for it, you have lost the battle. You have given your soul and the souls of your loved ones to the devil. Always remember this. The reward for faith is very great, but hidden until the last time. Likewise, the torments of hell in the lake of fire are incomprehensible and unrealistic for many people in this world. Better to endure an hour, a day or a year than to burn forever in the flames of hell, irrevocably and without any right to repentance. Many people who did not understand the importance of their choice will fall into this trap.

Evil in this world will be punished with evil, not good! Good will not fight against evil, for good cannot commit evil, cannot take up a knife and kill sin and the sinner. This is why God has prepared the Antichrist for the world. He will fulfill all that He has prescribed for him: the punishment for sin – death, punishing sinners, testing believers, and being punished himself. Evil will kill evil and will be vanquished by itself on the day of the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ.

World wars of recent times.

World War I (July 28, 1914 – November 11, 1918) was one of the largest armed conflicts in human history.

Location: Europe, Africa, and the Middle East (briefly in China and the Pacific Islands).

Cause: Economic imperialism, territorial and economic ambitions, trade barriers, arms race, militarism and autocracy, balance of power, local conflicts, and allied obligations of European powers.

Result: Victory of the Entente. February and October Revolutions in Russia, November Revolution in Germany. Collapse of the Ottoman Empire and Austria-Hungary. Beginning of American capital penetration into Europe.

Casualties: 9 to 10 million killed. Over 20 million wounded. Civilian casualties ranged from 7 to 12 million. Famine and epidemics resulting from the war claimed at least another 20 million lives.

As a result of the war, four empires ceased to exist: the Russian, Austro-Hungarian, Ottoman and German (although the Weimar Republic, which replaced Imperial Germany, formally continued to be known as the German Empire).

Germany, no longer a monarchy, was reduced territorially and weakened economically. Civil War broke out in Russia. From July 6 to 16, 1918, the Left Socialist Revolutionaries (supporters of Russia's continued participation in the war) orchestrated the assassination of the German ambassador, Count Wilhelm von Mirbach, in Moscow, with the aim of disrupting the Brest-Litovsk Treaty between Soviet Russia and Imperial Germany. The United States emerged as a great power. The harsh terms of the Treaty of Versailles (reparations, etc.) for Germany and the national humiliation it suffered gave rise to revanchist sentiments, which became one of the preconditions for the Nazis' rise to power, unleashing World War II.

World War I prepared the way for the first coming of the Antichrist, the overthrow of the Emperor, the seizure of power in Russia amid civil war through the Antichrist's splendid and seductive lies, the end of the Russian Empire, and the emergence of the USSR as a superpower kingdom.

The massive scale and protracted nature of World War I led to a militarization of the economy unprecedented in industrialized countries. This had an impact on the economic development of all major industrialized countries between the two world wars: increased government regulation and economic planning, the formation of military-industrial complexes, accelerated development of national economic infrastructures (power grids, paved road networks, etc.), and an increase in the share of defense and dual-use production. In other words, an arms race began, with a rapid growth in scientific and technological achievements, as if countries had awakened from their slumber and begun preparing for some important event, and this event was not long in coming.

World War I directly led to World War II, the essence of which is described below.

World War II (September 1, 1939 – September 2, 1945) was a war between two global military-political coalitions, becoming the largest war in human history. 62 of the 73 countries that existed at the time (80% of the world's population) participated in the war. Combat operations took place on three continents and in the waters of four oceans. It was the only conflict to use nuclear weapons. Total human losses reached 70 million, of which 27 million were killed on the front lines, the majority of whom were citizens of the USSR. China, Germany, Japan, and Poland also suffered heavy losses.

Location: Europe, East and Southeast Asia, North, Northeast, and West Africa, the Middle East, the Atlantic, Indian, Pacific and Arctic Oceans, and the Mediterranean.

Cause: The policies of many counties; the consequences of the Versailles-Washington system; the global economic crisis.

Result: Victory of the anti-Hitler coalition. Creation of the UN. The prohibition and condemnation of fascism and Nazism. The USSR and the USA become superpower kingdoms. The role of Great Britain and France in global politics diminishes. The world splits into two camps with different socio-political systems: socialist and capitalist. The Cold War begins. Decolonization of vast colonial empires.

After the war, Western Europe's role in global politics weakened. The USSR and the USA emerged as the world's leading powers. Despite their victory, Great Britain and France were significantly weakened. The war demonstrated the inability of these and other Western European countries to maintain their vast colonial empires. Anti-colonial movements intensified in Africa and Asia. As a result of the war, some countries achieved independence: Ethiopia, Iceland, Syria, Lebanon, Vietnam, and Indonesia. In Eastern Europe, occupied by Soviet troops, socialist regimes were established. One of the main outcomes of World War II was the creation of the United Nations, based on the Anti-Fascist Coalition formed during the war, to prevent future world wars.

After 1945, Great Britain became embroiled in growing conflict with the Jewish population. In 1947, the British government renounced the Mandate for Palestine, arguing that it was unable to find an acceptable solution for the Arabs and Jews. On November 29, 1947, the newly formed United Nations adopted the Partition Plan for Palestine (UN General Assembly Resolution 181). This plan called for the termination of the British Mandate in Palestine by August 1, 1948, and recommended the creation of two states: Jewish and Arab. Jerusalem and Bethlehem, according to the UN resolution, were to become territories under international control to prevent a conflict over the status of these cities. The adoption of this plan was made possible by the support of the major powers - the USSR and the United States.

On May 11, 1949, the State of Israel was recognized as a member of the UN.

World War II had a significant divine purpose. After six brutal, bloody years of war, the world's nations were exhausted, both literally and figuratively. Significant losses of financial, natural, and human resources, along with internal economic problems, led to what was undoubtedly the most important moment on earth since the time of Christ the Savior - the birth of the independent county- Israel and the subsequent return of the Jews to their homeland. The warring countries were so exhausted by these wars that they could no longer maintain control over the Middle East; they no longer had the strength or resources to dictate terms or continue colonizing them. They were preoccupied with their own problems of economic revival, industrialization, and construction - everything necessary to return life to its former course. After World War II, the United Nations was established, where a number of important agreements were reached between countries on the prevention of future hostilities, mutual assistance, and so on. Here, UN members voted to recognize Israel's independence and establish a new state on the planet. The fate of the Israeli people was at stake, and to the great surprise of many, the USSR made a crucial contribution to Israel's independence. During the vote, the USSR had a numerical advantage, and the leader of the USSR, Stalin, cast those votes in favor of the Jews. Thus, the independent state of Israel was born. 

All these events are connected and were carefully planned by God.

The State of Israel was proclaimed on May 14, 1948 (Iyar 5, 5708) based on UN General Assembly Resolution 181, adopted on November 29, 1947 (see "UN Partition Plan for Palestine").

By a margin of 33 votes to 13, with 10 abstentions, the first UNSCOP-proposed partition plan for Mandatory Palestine was adopted. Minor adjustments were made to the future borders. The partition was to take effect on the day British troops withdrew from the Mandatory territory.

God had to shake all nations thoroughly for His people to gain their freedom. The power and influence of other nations weakened, the process of decolonization began, and Israel broke free from the alien "British" hands. It was no coincidence that the state of the Antichrist, the USSR, helped them achieve this. The time was near, and Israel was to gain its freedom, rebuild its Temple, so that the Antichrist could then come and desecrate it, so that the Holy Scriptures spoken by the ancient prophets would be fulfilled. Did Stalin know the background to all this, did he guess the consequences of such a decision? And yet, the Lord is the King of kings, and no one can resist Him. Stalin acted as God requested. Of course, the Israeli people suffered many casualties, since during the war, there was a particular effort to exterminate the Jews. But all this only confirms the truth of God's Word: that for their sins, the Jews will be especially cruelly punished and persecuted by many countries of the world. Everything that God has spoken will come to pass, and it is already coming to pass.

Without the First and Second World Wars, Israel would still remain under foreign captivity and would not have gained independence.

Results of the World Wars:
The first stage is the coming of the Antichrist, the birth of the Antichrist state, the USSR. Completed.

The second stage is the creation and recognition of the independent state of Israel. The transfer of power from the Greek kingdom to the kingdom of the Antichrist (in accordance with Daniel's prophecy). Completed.

The third stage is the second coming of the Antichrist, the Third World War (the death of over 5 billion people). God's judgment.

The third stage still awaits humanity. Before the start of World War III, the Jews, through some incomprehensible miracle, will be required to build a Temple on the very site of the first Jewish Temple. But a Muslim mosque now stands on that site, and its demolition would be a serious bid for war against Muslims, something the Jews, of course, cannot afford, as they clearly lack the strength. What miracle from God must occur for the Muslims to surrender their mosque to destruction and allow the Temple of God to be built there that remains to be seen. God is wise and all-powerful, and He has a plan for this too.

 

The Antichrist and the World War III.

There are two passages in the Bible from the Old and Old Testaments that speak of the same event, confirming and complementing each other in essence.

Jeremiah 51:46. And lest your heart faint, and ye fear for the rumour that shall be heard in the land; a rumour shall both come one year, and after that in another year shall come a rumour, and violence in the land, ruler against ruler

Matthew 24:6. 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. 7. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places

The outbreak of a terrible war on Earth, where one ruler will rise against another, or one kingdom will rise against another, or one nation will attack another. In other words, the final war on Earth will break out between the two most powerful nations in the world, resulting in all other nations, willingly or unwillingly, also participating.

The instigator of the World War III will be the Antichrist. This proud, blasphemous ruler will want to subjugate all the nations of the world.

The Antichrist will restore the USSR within the 10 current members of the CIS, according to the formula of 10. Thus, the new USSR, a superpower kingdom, will attack another one.

At the end of World War II, the USSR and the United States became superpowers. This situation has persisted to this day. Russia and the United States are the most influential nations on Earth. Two main rivals, the Cold War between them continues to this day. Although the heads of these states shake hands and smile at summits, diplomatic coolness and caution never cease. These are two global hegemons.

It's no secret today, and the US government has openly documented, that Russia remains and will remain the US's number one enemy.

There's a lot of information online about a possible war between the US and Russia, with assumptions, plans, and calculations about the outcome of such a war, all of which naturally contradict each other. Some predict that the US will win such a war, others that Russia will.

This topic is also mentioned in the Bible:

Jeremiah 15:12. Shall iron break the northern iron and the steel?

This prophecy seems completely incomprehensible at first glance, but it's not at all so. It conceals a very important question: can one country defeat another (northern) country? Russia is a northern country, the Antichrist is the king of the north, and his allies are the nations of the northern kingdoms. It also raises the question of the outcome of the battle between the two greatest nations on earth. Furthermore, the word "steel" conceals a secret about the Antichrist's allies.

Below is biblical information about the progress and outcome of such a war. The outcome of the battle is clearly stated in the Bible. The Antichrist will conquer and subjugate all nations, including the United States, but at what cost to the Antichrist and humanity will this come?

 

The course of military operations.

The prophet Daniel, as well as Isaiah, Jeremiah, Habakkuk, Ezekiel and Joel, described the Antichrist's military actions in great detail. By bringing together all their prophecies, we obtain a complete picture and the following events.

Daniel 11:21. And in his estate shall stand up a vile person, to whom they shall not give the honour of the kingdom: but he shall come in peaceably, and obtain the kingdom by flatteries - the coming to power of the Antichrist.

24. He shall enter peaceably even upon the fattest places of the province; and he shall do that which his fathers have not done, nor his fathers' fathers; he shall scatter among them the prey, and spoil, and riches: yea, and he shall forecast his devices against the strong holds, even for a time.

the beginning of plunder and devastating wars led by the Antichrist. Most likely, these will be peaceful countries of the European Union. The goal of such wars is straightforward: to seize as many resources as possible to create an even more powerful army, both in terms of equipment and soldiers. All countries know that the costs of maintaining a huge army are simply colossal. The Antichrist will "feed" on the resources of other countries. These will primarily be those countries that refuse to voluntarily submit to him.

25. And he shall stir up his power and his courage against the king of the south with a great army; and the king of the south shall be stirred up to battle with a very great and mighty army; but he shall not stand: for they shall forecast devices against him. 26. Yea, they that feed of the portion of his meat shall destroy him, and his army shall overflow: and many shall fall down slain.27. And both these kings' hearts shall be to do mischief, and they shall speak lies at one table; but it shall not prosper: for yet the end shall be at the time appointed

This is the first full-scale battle between the forces of the Antichrist and the US forces. The King of the South - that's how the Bible refers to the ruler of the second superpower, the Antichrist's main adversary. The US Army at that moment is described as more powerful than the Antichrist's army. But betrayal at the very top of the US government will destroy this powerful army. The best and fastest way to defeat a powerful enemy army is to try to divide it into parts and launch targeted attacks at the most inopportune, unforeseen moment. This is exactly what the Antichrist will do. He understands perfectly well that a well-trained, well-equipped army, equipped with the latest advances in science and technology, cannot be defeated with bare hands. Cunning is needed. He will bribe American officials, whose betrayal will have a detrimental effect on the outcome of the first battle between the USSR and the US. It is assumed that the US military leadership will be given false, pre-planned lies and disinformation, which will lead to the division of the US army into parts and their subsequent destruction in specially prepared traps. 

Psalms 33: 16. There is no king saved by the multitude of an host: a mighty man is not delivered by much strength. 17. An horse is a vain thing for safety: neither shall he deliver any by his great strength

The US Army will be divided and trapped, where the battle will be largely a one-sided affair, with American losses far greater than those of the Antichrist. It will be a well-planned trap. The American Army will be routed. This is due to treachery and betrayal. But even after such a defeat, the Antichrist will not yet be able to begin landing troops on US soil. He still lacks the forces to conquer America.

Verse 27 speaks of a meeting between the Antichrist and the American President at the negotiating table after the battle. But this will be merely a show, a game. Both presidents will lie to each other and nothing more.

It's worth remembering that this battle will take place within the first three years after the Antichrist's arrival, after the defeat and occupation of the European Union.

 

Bribery and betrayal of the Head of Israel.

The Bible says that the Antichrist will also enter into a treacherous conspiracy with the head of Israel.

Daniel 11:22. And with the arms of a flood shall they be overflown from before him, and shall be broken; yea, also the prince of the covenant. 23. And after the league made with him he shall work deceitfully: for he shall come up, and shall become strong with a small people

The Antichrist will sign a secret pact with the leader of the covenant, the head of Israel. The Antichrist will not adhere to this pact, and at the right moment, he will break it without hesitation. This agreement is called in the Bible "a covenant with death".

Isaiah 28:5. In that day shall the LORD of hosts be for a crown of glory, and for a diadem of beauty, unto the residue of his people, 14. Wherefore hear the word of the LORD, ye scornful men, that rule this people which is in Jerusalem. 15. Because ye have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with hell are we at agreement; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come unto us: for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves: 16. Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste. 17. Judgment also will I lay to the line, and righteousness to the plummet: and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hiding place. 18. And your covenant with death shall be disannulled, and your agreement with hell shall not stand; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, then ye shall be trodden down by it. 19. From the time that it goeth forth it shall take you: for morning by morning shall it pass over, by day and by night: and it shall be a vexation only to understand the report. 20. For the bed is shorter than that a man can stretch himself on it: and the covering narrower than that he can wrap himself in it. 21. For the LORD shall rise up as in mount Perazim, he shall be wroth as in the valley of Gibeon, that he may do his work, his strange work; and bring to pass his act, his strange act. 22. Now therefore be ye not mockers, lest your bands be made strong: for I have heard from the Lord GOD of hosts a consumption, even determined upon the whole earth

The essence of this prophecy is this: the Jews will sign a pact with the Antichrist. The Jews are supposed to agree to hand over the Jerusalem Temple to them in exchange for peace and security for the State of Israel. Extermination is decreed for the entire earth. The Antichrist will plunder all the countries of the world. Yet, the Jews will attempt to buy peace for themselves by selling the Temple of God to Satan. The leader of Israel seemed to have good intentions - to prevent war at any cost and preserve his people. The Jews will believe that, having surrendered the Temple to be desecrated, the Antichrist will faithfully fulfill the terms of the pact, and that not a single soldier will set foot on their soil, not a single bullet will fly through Jewish land. Once the Antichrist has the Temple and desecrated it, he will forget all about this pact. Jewish cities will also be destroyed, like all other peoples. It would be foolish to hope for the Antichrist's honesty. Satan is the father of lies, and his helper, the Antichrist, is the same. Such people lack truth, honor, conscience, justice, and loyalty. As a result, the Jews sold the Temple of God in vain, and the all-consuming scourge did not pass them by. The Temple was trampled, the daily sacrifice taken away, Jerusalem captured and plundered, Jewish cities destroyed.

Here is another important prophecy:

Isaiah 10:20. And it shall come to pass in that day, that the remnant of Israel, and such as are escaped of the house of Jacob, shall no more again stay upon him that smote them; but shall stay upon the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, in truth. 21. The remnant shall return, even the remnant of Jacob, unto the mighty God. 24. Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD of hosts, O my people that dwellest in Zion, be not afraid of the Assyrian: he shall smite thee with a rod, and shall lift up his staff against thee, after the manner of Egypt. 25. For yet a very little while, and the indignation shall cease, and mine anger in their destruction

This is a confirmation that the Jews will think, believe and hope with all their hearts that evil will not touch them. «the remnant of Israel, and such as are escaped of the house of Jacob, shall no more again stay upon him that smote them» - They trusted the Antichrist, for a deal with him, but he didn’t even blink an eye after he got what he wanted from them.

And now further confirmation that it was the Jerusalem Temple that was the goal of the Antichrist and the main point of the “covenant with death.”

Daniel 11:28. Then shall he return into his land with great riches; and his heart shall be against the holy covenant; and he shall do exploits, and return to his own land. 29. At the time appointed he shall return, and come toward the south; but it shall not be as the former, or as the latter. 30. For the ships of Chittim shall come against him: therefore he shall be grieved, and return, and have indignation against the holy covenant: so shall he do; he shall even return, and have intelligence with them that forsake the holy covenant. 31. And arms shall stand on his part, and they shall pollute the sanctuary of strength, and shall take away the daily sacrifice, and they shall place the abomination that maketh desolate

The temple doesn't allow the Antichrist to sleep well. He needs it. The Antichrist wants to show the entire world that everything is now under his control, that he is the god of the entire earth, the ruler of the universe, and that there is no one else. These blasphemous and proud thoughts were the main driving force behind the World War III. He must establish his dominion so that people will fear and worship him.

So, the Antichrist returns with great spoils from the plundered countries. He begins to restore and strengthen his military might. After some time, he begins a campaign to the South and the Middle East, his thoughts exclusively on Jerusalem. But the Antichrist has seriously miscalculated. Perhaps thoughts of world domination clouded his mind, and he failed to take into account that the Jews also have a powerful ally. Having learned that the Antichrist's army is advancing from the north and that his target is Israel, the Jewish government, seeing that the Antichrist is violating the terms of the peace agreement, seeks aid from America.

«the ships of Chittim» block access to the Mediterranean Sea, thus putting the Antichrist's army at risk of defeat, and he has no choice but to return from where he came. Chittim has always been associated with the meaning of "West." Ships from the west prevented the Antichrist's troops from penetrating south. This was a severe punch to the Antichrist's army: turning back such a huge force without achieving its goal, and he is insanely furious. Verses 30 and 31 tell us of a new pact between the Antichrist and the Jews: the Temple is finally given over to him for desecration; a small part of the army enters Jerusalem, desecrates the sanctuary, and abolishes the daily sacrifice. The Antichrist achieved his goal, but he has not forgotten the betrayal by the Jews. A short time later, the Antichrist's army will sack and destroy most of Jewish cities, including Jerusalem.

This prophecy of Daniel about the ships of Kittim is also confirmed in the prophecy of Balaam.

Numbers 24:22. Nevertheless the Kenite shall be wasted, until Asshur shall carry thee away captive. 23. And he took up his parable, and said, Alas, who shall live when God doeth this! 24. And ships shall come from the coast of Chittim, and shall afflict Asshur, and shall afflict Eber, and he also shall perish for ever - another confirmation that the Antichrist is the same Asshur.

Jeremiah 19:7. And I will make void the counsel of Judah and Jerusalem in this place; and I will cause them to fall by the sword before their enemies, and by the hands of them that seek their lives: and their carcases will I give to be meat for the fowls of the heaven, and for the beasts of the earth. 8. And I will make this city desolate, and an hissing; every one that passeth thereby shall be astonished and hiss because of all the plagues thereof

A "covenant with death" has ended by God. Here's how the Bible describes the Antichrist's thoughts:

Ezekiel 21:19. Also, thou son of man, appoint thee two ways, that the sword of the king of Babylon may come: both twain shall come forth out of one land: and choose thou a place, choose it at the head of the way to the city. 20. Appoint a way, that the sword may come to Rabbath of the Ammonites, and to Judah in Jerusalem the defenced. 21. For the king of Babylon stood at the parting of the way, at the head of the two ways, to use divination: he made his arrows bright, he consulted with images, he looked in the liver. 22. At his right hand was the divination for Jerusalem, to appoint captains, to open the mouth in the slaughter, to lift up the voice with shouting, to appoint battering rams against the gates, to cast a mount, and to build a fort. 23. And it shall be unto them as a false divination in their sight, to them that have sworn oaths: but he will call to remembrance the iniquity, that they may be taken. 24. Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because ye have made your iniquity to be remembered, in that your transgressions are discovered, so that in all your doings your sins do appear; because, I say, that ye are come to remembrance, ye shall be taken with the hand. 25. And thou, profane wicked prince of Israel, whose day is come, when iniquity shall have an end, 26. Thus saith the Lord GOD; Remove the diadem, and take off the crown: this shall not be the same: exalt him that is low, and abase him that is high.27. I will overturn, overturn, overturn, it: and it shall be no more, until he come whose right it is; and I will give it him

The Antichrist thought, wondered, was lost in his thoughts about what to do with Jerusalem, whether to take it or not.

«to them that have sworn oaths: but he will call to remembrance the iniquity, that they may be taken» - he had not forgotten the Jews' treachery, nor the breach of the treaty when ships from the west blocked his passage south. He would take Jerusalem and also forget the treaty, which is precisely what he did.

25. And thou, profane wicked prince of Israel, whose day is come, when iniquity shall have an end

- the criminal actions of the leader of Israel against his people and God are specifically mentioned when he agreed to the Antichrist's terms for giving the Temple of God in exchange for peace and tranquility. It is difficult to know whether the leader of Israel was thinking about the entire nation or solely about his own safety, for he knew that no one could stop the Antichrist on this earth, and disaster was about to strike immediately. The Third Temple of God would be taken by the Antichrist exactly 1267 days after his ascension to power (resurrection), almost 3.5 years after. There are 1290 days left until the Day of Judgment, the coming of Christ the Savior.

The Antichrist learned a very important lesson. No matter how powerful the army, without a strong navy, the war against the United States cannot be defeated.

Daniel 11:36. And the king shall do according to his will; and he shall exalt himself, and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak marvellous things against the God of gods, and shall prosper till the indignation be accomplished: for that that is determined shall be done. 37. Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers, nor the desire of women, nor regard any god: for he shall magnify himself above all. 38. But in his estate shall he honour the God of forces: and a god whom his fathers knew not shall he honour with gold, and silver, and with precious stones, and pleasant things. 39. Thus shall he do in the most strong holds with a strange god, whom he shall acknowledge and increase with glory: and he shall cause them to rule over many, and shall divide the land for gain.

So, satisfied with having desecrated the Temple of God, the Antichrist returns home, his soul filled with pride and tranquility. He spends his vast wealth, giving all his spoils to the nations that supported him in his wars. He once again builds up his army, and with all his might, in union with other nations, builds a powerful navy.

40. And at the time of the end shall the king of the south push at him: and the king of the north shall come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots, and with horsemen, and with many ships; and he shall enter into the countries, and shall overflow and pass over

This verse tells us of America's demise. The forces are insanely unequal. The Antichrist, like a tsunami, unleashes all his power and wrath on the United States and the other remaining countries. The troops and navy are defeated, the land and people are under the Antichrist's power.

 

Aggressors.

It is worth mentioning in detail those countries that, out of fear, coercion or any other circumstances will support the Antichrist in the World War III.

The role of these countries is undoubtedly the most important.

Daniel 8:24. And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power: and he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper, and practise, and shall destroy the mighty and the holy people

The Antichrist himself lacks the strength to conquer the entire world. Russia (or the CIS) itself does not possess a powerful and well-equipped army.

Revelation 17:12. And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast. 13. These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast - The CIS countries, of which there are exactly 10, will be completely subservient to the Antichrist. All their resources will be used for war.

Revelation 16:12. And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared

The Eastern kings will also support the Antichrist. First and foremost, China and India. He will promise these countries something no one could even dream of – land. India and China have long been languishing with their enormous combined population of 3 billion on their own plots of land. They desperately need more land. They will sign an agreement with the Antichrist, and then they will ultimately take possession of the lands of the plundered and conquered peoples.

Daniel 11:39. Thus shall he do in the most strong holds with a strange god, whom he shall acknowledge and increase with glory: and he shall cause them to rule over many, and shall divide the land for gain

Most of the countries in the Far East and Asia will support the Antichrist. And this will be the decisive factor in his victory over the countries of Western Europe, the Middle East, Africa, America or elsewhere. The planet will split into two warring halves.

Ezekiel 38:4. And I will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws, and I will bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts of armour, even a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords: 5. Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya with them; all of them with shield and helmet: 6. Gomer, and all his bands; the house of Togarmah of the north quarters, and all his bands: and many people with thee.7. Be thou prepared, and prepare for thyself, thou, and all thy company that are assembled unto thee, and be thou a guard unto them

Turkey, the Caucasus, the Balkans, parts of Africa, the Middle East and many other nations will obey the Antichrist and fulfill his every command. This is absolute power over the world. The greatest army is under his command. All major adversaries are suppressed or destroyed.

 

Preparing for War. The Battle for Energy Resources.

Any war requires colossal expenditures of energy resources. Since we're talking about the largest and most brutal world war, it will require enormous energy reserves to sustain it. First and foremost, these are human resources - people. Second, metal for weapons production. Third, vast oil reserves as fuel for combat vehicles (tanks, navy, aircraft, etc.).

The Antichrist will have an advantage in human resources, as India and especially China will join him. But the US and Europe won't be intimidated by bare hands. None of the warring countries will have a shortage of metal. The key factor for victory for one of the warring parties will be the ability to quickly produce large quantities of weapons, maintain combat readiness and train soldiers.

Currently, and even until the Antichrist arrives, the CIS countries, China, and India are pursuing a restrained military policy, without any arms race. The military budgets of these countries are much smaller than those of the United States, which spends enormous sums of money annually on modernizing its military and maintaining it in full combat readiness.

The Antichrist will face a difficult task: urgently mobilizing all the resources of his coalition countries to produce massive quantities of weapons and equipment and train soldiers in the shortest possible time.

Daniel 11:24…and he shall forecast his devices against the strong holds, even for a time

The industrial capacity of the CIS countries, China, and India will allow him to fulfill his demands, except for one. Building a powerful navy will take a long time, which will hinder the Antichrist's rapid conquest of all the unconquered countries of the world, especially the United States. But at that point, the Antichrist will not be greatly fazed or angered by the fact that his navy is clearly inferior to his enemy in quantity and quality. He also needs enormous oil reserves, which he can only obtain in the Middle East, which will not be easy or quick to conquer, as the allied forces of Europe, the United States, and parts of Africa will oppose it in every possible way.

Toward the end of his time, the Antichrist will build a powerful army and, especially, a navy.

Daniel 11:40. And at the time of the end shall the king of the south push at him: and the king of the north shall come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots, and with horsemen, and with many ships; and he shall enter into the countries, and shall overflow and pass over


Here, the prophet Daniel particularly emphasized the strength of the Antichrist's fleet - "many ships."

This is the final powerful attack on North America, which it is unable to withstand.

The Antichrist becomes ruler of the entire earth, ultimately gaining control over humanity. He becomes the chief shepherd of the planet, as the prophet predicts:

Zechariah 11:16. For, lo, I will raise up a shepherd in the land, which shall not visit those that be cut off, neither shall seek the young one, nor heal that that is broken, nor feed that that standeth still: but he shall eat the flesh of the fat, and tear their claws in pieces

  

The Road to Jerusalem.

Now nothing stands on the way of the Antichrist; he has no equal on land or sea. He begins his invasion of Israel.

Daniel 11:41. He shall enter also into the glorious land, and many countries shall be overthrown: but these shall escape out of his hand, even Edom, and Moab, and the chief of the children of Ammon. 42. He shall stretch forth his hand also upon the countries: and the land of Egypt shall not escape. 43. But he shall have power over the treasures of gold and of silver, and over all the precious things of Egypt: and the Libyans and the Ethiopians shall be at his steps

The entire South is now at his disposal. Egypt is destroyed. Libya and Ethiopia are going over to the Antichrist's side.

Psalms 46:7. The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah. 8. Come, behold the works of the LORD, what desolations he hath made in the earth. 9. He maketh wars to cease unto the end of the earth; he breaketh the bow, and cutteth the spear in sunder; he burneth the chariot in the fire. 10. Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth

Isaiah 10:28. He is come to Aiath, he is passed to Migron; at Michmash he hath laid up his carriages: 29. They are gone over the passage: they have taken up their lodging at Geba; Ramah is afraid; Gibeah of Saul is fled. 30. Lift up thy voice, O daughter of Gallim: cause it to be heard unto Laish, O poor Anathoth. 31. Madmenah is removed; the inhabitants of Gebim gather themselves to flee. 32. As yet shall he remain at Nob that day: he shall shake his hand against the mount of the daughter of Zion, the hill of Jerusalem. 33. Behold, the Lord, the LORD of hosts, shall lop the bough with terror: and the high ones of stature shall be hewn down, and the haughty shall be humbled. 34. And he shall cut down the thickets of the forest with iron, and Lebanon shall fall by a mighty one - this describes the movement of the Antichrist's troops through the cities of Israel.

Jeremiah 7:4. Trust ye not in lying words, saying, The temple of the LORD, The temple of the LORD, The temple of the LORD, are these. 20. Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, mine anger and my fury shall be poured out upon this place, upon man, and upon beast, and upon the trees of the field, and upon the fruit of the ground; and it shall burn, and shall not be quenched. 32. Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that it shall no more be called Tophet, nor the valley of the son of Hinnom, but the valley of slaughter: for they shall bury in Tophet, till there be no place. 33. And the carcases of this people shall be meat for the fowls of the heaven, and for the beasts of the earth; and none shall fray them away. 34. Then will I cause to cease from the cities of Judah, and from the streets of Jerusalem, the voice of mirth, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride: for the land shall be desolate

 

The Last Days of Wrath.

Here some more prophecies about the horror that awaits the entire earth in the last days.

Isaiah 66:15. For, behold, the LORD will come with fire, and with his chariots like a whirlwind, to render his anger with fury, and his rebuke with flames of fire. 16. For by fire and by his sword will the LORD plead with all flesh: and the slain of the LORD shall be many

Jeremiah 4:6. Set up the standard toward Zion: retire, stay not: for I will bring evil from the north, and a great destruction. 7. The lion is come up from his thicket, and the destroyer of the Gentiles is on his way; he is gone forth from his place to make thy land desolate; and thy cities shall be laid waste, without an inhabitant. 8. For this gird you with sackcloth, lament and howl: for the fierce anger of the LORD is not turned back from us. 9. And it shall come to pass at that day, saith the LORD, that the heart of the king shall perish, and the heart of the princes; and the priests shall be astonished, and the prophets shall wonder. 13. Behold, he shall come up as clouds, and his chariots shall be as a whirlwind: his horses are swifter than eagles. Woe unto us! for we are spoiled. 15. For a voice declareth from Dan, and publisheth affliction from mount Ephraim. 16. Make ye mention to the nations; behold, publish against Jerusalem, that watchers come from a far country, and give out their voice against the cities of Judah. 20. Destruction upon destruction is cried; for the whole land is spoiled: suddenly are my tents spoiled, and my curtains in a moment. 21. How long shall I see the standard, and hear the sound of the trumpet? 22. For my people is foolish, they have not known me; they are sottish children, and they have none understanding: they are wise to do evil, but to do good they have no knowledge. 23. I beheld the earth, and, lo, it was without form, and void; and the heavens, and they had no light. 24. I beheld the mountains, and, lo, they trembled, and all the hills moved lightly. 25. I beheld, and, lo, there was no man, and all the birds of the heavens were fled.26. I beheld, and, lo, the fruitful place was a wilderness, and all the cities thereof were broken down at the presence of the LORD, and by his fierce anger. 27. For thus hath the LORD said, The whole land shall be desolate; yet will I not make a full end. 28. For this shall the earth mourn, and the heavens above be black: because I have spoken it, I have purposed it, and will not repent, neither will I turn back from it. 29. The whole city shall flee for the noise of the horsemen and bowmen; they shall go into thickets, and climb up upon the rocks: every city shall be forsaken, and not a man dwell therein

Jeremiah 13:19… Judah shall be carried away captive all of it, it shall be wholly carried away captive. 20. Lift up your eyes, and behold them that come from the north: where is the flock that was given thee, thy beautiful flock?

Jeremiah 25:30. Therefore prophesy thou against them all these words, and say unto them, The LORD shall roar from on high, and utter his voice from his holy habitation; he shall mightily roar upon his habitation; he shall give a shout, as they that tread the grapes, against all the inhabitants of the earth. 31. A noise shall come even to the ends of the earth; for the LORD hath a controversy with the nations, he will plead with all flesh; he will give them that are wicked to the sword, saith the LORD. 32. Thus saith the LORD of hosts, Behold, evil shall go forth from nation to nation, and a great whirlwind shall be raised up from the coasts of the earth. 33. And the slain of the LORD shall be at that day from one end of the earth even unto the other end of the earth: they shall not be lamented, neither gathered, nor buried; they shall be dung upon the ground. 37. And the peaceable habitations are cut down because of the fierce anger of the LORD. 38. He hath forsaken his covert, as the lion: for their land is desolate because of the fierceness of the oppressor, and because of his fierce anger

Verse 32- disaster will spread from nation to nation! Little by little, slowly and surely, the Antichrist is conquering and subjugating all the countries of the world.

Jeremiah 47:2. Thus saith the LORD; Behold, waters rise up out of the north, and shall be an overflowing flood, and shall overflow the land, and all that is therein; the city, and them that dwell therein: then the men shall cry, and all the inhabitants of the land shall howl. 3. At the noise of the stamping of the hoofs of his strong horses, at the rushing of his chariots, and at the rumbling of his wheels, the fathers shall not look back to their children for feebleness of hands - a terrifying evil from the north descends upon the entire planet, and fear, despair and utter hopelessness are such that even parents cannot save their children.

Jeremiah 48:8. And the spoiler shall come upon every city, and no city shall escape: the valley also shall perish, and the plain shall be destroyed, as the LORD hath spoken

 Below is a detailed description of the combat operations of the modern army.

Joel 2:1. Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain: let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the day of the LORD cometh, for it is nigh at hand;

2. A day of darkness and of gloominess, a day of clouds and of thick darkness, as the morning spread upon the mountains: a great people and a strong; there hath not been ever the like, neither shall be any more after it, even to the years of many generations.

3. A fire devoureth before them; and behind them a flame burneth: the land is as the garden of Eden before them, and behind them a desolate wilderness; yea, and nothing shall escape them

 – use of long-range weapons (artillery, airstrikes, etc.)

4. The appearance of them is as the appearance of horses; and as horsemen, so shall they run.


5. Like the noise of chariots on the tops of mountains shall they leap, like the noise of a flame of fire that devoureth the stubble, as a strong people set in battle array - Here the prophet Joel, having seen the military armored vehicles of the future, naturally tried to somehow describe this sight, comparing it with other analogies - they look like horses, they move quickly, they make a terrible noise.













6. Before their face the people shall be much pained: all faces shall gather blackness.7. They shall run like mighty men; they shall climb the wall like men of war; and they shall march every one on his ways, and they shall not break their ranks:8. Neither shall one thrust another; they shall walk every one in his path: and when they fall upon the sword, they shall not be wounded.

 – the soldiers march in a neat formation. “they fall upon the sword, they shall not be wounded”  – wearing bulletproof vests and protective helmets.

9. They shall run to and fro in the city; they shall run upon the wall, they shall climb up upon the houses; they shall enter in at the windows like a thief.

- the capture of buildings using modern combat techniques, which require a high level of soldier training.

Habakkuk 1:5. Behold ye among the heathen, and regard, and wonder marvellously: for I will work a work in your days, which ye will not believe, though it be told you.6. For, lo, I raise up the Chaldeans, that bitter and hasty nation, which shall march through the breadth of the land, to possess the dwellingplaces that are not theirs. 7. They are terrible and dreadful: their judgment and their dignity shall proceed of themselves. 8. Their horses also are swifter than the leopards, and are more fierce than the evening wolves: and their horsemen shall spread themselves, and their horsemen shall come from far; they shall fly as the eagle that hasteth to eat - here the prophet tries to describe modern military aviation

9. They shall come all for violence: their faces shall sup up as the east wind, and they shall gather the captivity as the sand. 10. And they shall scoff at the kings, and the princes shall be a scorn unto them: they shall deride every strong hold; for they shall heap dust, and take it. 11. Then shall his mind change, and he shall pass over, and offend, imputing this his power unto his god

Zephaniah 2:4. For Gaza shall be forsaken, and Ashkelon a desolation: they shall drive out Ashdod at the noon day, and Ekron shall be rooted up. 5. Woe unto the inhabitants of the sea coast, the nation of the Cherethites! the word of the LORD is against you; O Canaan, the land of the Philistines, I will even destroy thee, that there shall be no inhabitant. 6. And the sea coast shall be dwellings and cottages for shepherds, and folds for flocks. 12. Ye Ethiopians also, ye shall be slain by my sword

Let's return to the prophecies of the Apostle John. Here, too, there is a description of modern military technology.

Revelation 9:13. And the sixth angel sounded, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before God, 14. Saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet, Loose the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates. 15. And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay the third part of men. 16. And the number of the army of the horsemen were two hundred thousand thousand: and I heard the number of them. 17. And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and them that sat on them, having breastplates of fire, and of jacinth, and brimstone: and the heads of the horses were as the heads of lions; and out of their mouths issued fire and smoke and brimstone. 18. By these three was the third part of men killed, by the fire, and by the smoke, and by the brimstone, which issued out of their mouths. 19. For their power is in their mouth, and in their tails: for their tails were like unto serpents, and had heads, and with them they do hurt

- a description of modern tanks.

Revelation 16:21. And there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, every stone about the weight of a talent: and men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail; for the plague thereof was exceeding great


Talent (measurement)

The weight of a talent varies from 8 to 67 kg in different countries.

In the Roman Empire, a talent corresponded to a mass of water equal in volume to one standard amphora (i.e., 1 cubic Roman foot, or 26.027 liters).


When speaking of hail, John likely had in mind aerial bombs, not meteor showers from outer space.

Why wouldn't these be meteor showers? Because a stone falling from a great height would surely kill a person, and such people would have no chance of surviving or saying anything else, such as blaspheming God for their wounds. Here we are talking exclusively about wars, massive air strikes on cities, and shrapnel wounds (both fatal and non-fatal).

 

The death of the Antichrist and his army.

The end of pagan era.

It is hard to believe that, having such power, strength and authority, the Antichrist will suffer the most crushing and unprecedented defeat, which has not happened since the beginning of the creation of the world, and there will never be another such defeat.

Daniel 11:44. But tidings out of the east and out of the north shall trouble him: therefore he shall go forth with great fury to destroy, and utterly to make away many. 45. And he shall plant the tabernacles of his palace between the seas in the glorious holy mountain; yet he shall come to his end, and none shall help him

An event that will simply unleash the full wrath and fury of the Antichrist himself.

Certain news from the north and east, will alarm him! The north (CIS) and east (India, China, etc.) are his untouchable territory. What must happen there that will cause the Antichrist to roar with anger and decide to destroy all of humanity?

There is only one description of such an event in the Bible.

Ezekiel 39:1. Therefore, thou son of man, prophesy against Gog, and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal: 2. And I will turn thee back, and leave but the sixth part of thee, and will cause thee to come up from the north parts, and will bring thee upon the mountains of Israel: 3. And I will smite thy bow out of thy left hand, and will cause thine arrows to fall out of thy right hand. 4. Thou shalt fall upon the mountains of Israel, thou, and all thy bands, and the people that is with thee: I will give thee unto the ravenous birds of every sort, and to the beasts of the field to be devoured. 5. Thou shalt fall upon the open field: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord GOD. 6. And I will send a fire on Magog, and among them that dwell carelessly in the isles: and they shall know that I am the LORD. 7. So will I make my holy name known in the midst of my people Israel; and I will not let them pollute my holy name any more: and the heathen shall know that I am the LORD, the Holy One in Israel. 8. Behold, it is come, and it is done, saith the Lord GOD; this is the day whereof I have spoken. 9. And they that dwell in the cities of Israel shall go forth, and shall set on fire and burn the weapons, both the shields and the bucklers, the bows and the arrows, and the handstaves, and the spears, and they shall burn them with fire seven years: 10. So that they shall take no wood out of the field, neither cut down any out of the forests; for they shall burn the weapons with fire: and they shall spoil those that spoiled them, and rob those that robbed them, saith the Lord GOD

Pay special attention to verse 6 - And I will send a fire on Magog, and among them that dwell carelessly in the isles

The north and east will be engulfed in flames. Everything the Antichrist has plundered and plundered, all of it is in fire.

The empire is burning to the ground! What he worked so long and hard to build is consigned to the fires of God. He has nothing left but his army. He has nowhere to return to. His home is destroyed. He who imagined himself the god of the whole earth, the ruler of the world, has lost everything. Anger, rage, despair and revenge are all in his head.

He gathers absolutely all his troops in one place, as close to Jerusalem as possible, but due to the enormous number of soldiers and military equipment, the entire march stretches for many kilometers. He gathers in the Valley of Megiddo, although in reality, God has gathered them all there. He has long prepared this place to bring the essence of world evil there and punish it.

Daniel 7:26. But the judgment shall sit, and they shall take away his dominion, to consume and to destroy it unto the end

The time has come to an end. Power has been taken from the Antichrist, evil has been stopped so that some people on earth can be saved. Now it's up to the Lord.

Isaiah 33:1. Woe to thee that spoilest, and thou wast not spoiled; and dealest treacherously, and they dealt not treacherously with thee! when thou shalt cease to spoil, thou shalt be spoiled; and when thou shalt make an end to deal treacherously, they shall deal treacherously with thee

Habakkuk 2:8. Because thou hast spoiled many nations, all the remnant of the people shall spoil thee; because of men's blood, and for the violence of the land, of the city, and of all that dwell therein

Joel 2:20. But I will remove far off from you the northern army, and will drive him into a land barren and desolate, with his face toward the east sea, and his hinder part toward the utmost sea, and his stink shall come up, and his ill savour shall come up, because he hath done great things

Daniel 9:27. … even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate

Isaiah 31:8. Then shall the Assyrian fall with the sword, not of a mighty man; and the sword, not of a mean man, shall devour him: but he shall flee from the sword, and his young men shall be discomfited. 9. And he shall pass over to his strong hold for fear, and his princes shall be afraid of the ensign, saith the LORD, whose fire is in Zion, and his furnace in Jerusalem

This is a remarkable passage, which speaks for the first time of his fear. The Antichrist is struck with indescribable fear when he sees the coming of the Lord. I think hysteria and fainting are common in such situations, and for the Antichrist it will be no exception, especially when all his military might, with which he had terrified all livings on earth, melts away before his eyes. He has lost all his power. The Antichrist begins to flee in fear, but cannot escape the Lord!

Revelation 19:20. And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone. 21. And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh

The Antichrist and the false prophet will be cast alive into the lake of fire. They will not experience an easy death. Until that moment, no one will be able to harm them, for this right belongs only to the Lord, and He will fulfill it.

He will fulfill His Word! He will keep His promise! He will come to defend His people!

Isaiah 29:6. Thou shalt be visited of the LORD of hosts with thunder, and with earthquake, and great noise, with storm and tempest, and the flame of devouring fire.7. And the multitude of all the nations that fight against Ariel, even all that fight against her and her munition, and that distress her, shall be as a dream of a night vision. 8. It shall even be as when an hungry man dreameth, and, behold, he eateth; but he awaketh, and his soul is empty: or as when a thirsty man dreameth, and, behold, he drinketh; but he awaketh, and, behold, he is faint, and his soul hath appetite: so shall the multitude of all the nations be, that fight against mount Zion. 18. And in that day shall the deaf hear the words of the book, and the eyes of the blind shall see out of obscurity, and out of darkness. 19. The meek also shall increase their joy in the LORD, and the poor among men shall rejoice in the Holy One of Israel. 20. For the terrible one is brought to nought, and the scorner is consumed, and all that watch for iniquity are cut off
