Christ (vs 4,5). “If anyone says to you ‘Look, “Men will tell you, ‘There he is!” or here is the Christ’ or ‘There ‘Here is he is!’. Do not go running off he is!’ do not believe it. For after them” (17:23). false Christs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and miracles to deceive even the elect—if that were possible” (vs 23). There will be “wars and There will be “wars and revolutions” rumors of wars… Nation will (21:9).  “Nation will rise against rise against nations” (vs 6, nation” (21:10). 7). “There will be famines and “There will be great earthquakes in various places” earthquakes,famines and pestilences in (vs 7). various places, and fearful events and great signs from heaven” (21:10). “Then [the saints] will be “But before all this, they will… handed over to be persecuted persecute (the saints).  They will and put to death and you will deliver you to the synagogues and be hated by all nations prisons…and all on account of my because of me… Many will name.” (21:12).  “You will be betrayed turn away from the faith and even by parents, brothers, relatives and will betray and hate each friends, and they will put some of you other” (vs 9, 10). to death.  All men will hate you because of me” (21:17).

“He who stands firm to the end will be saved” (vs. 10).

“By standing firm you will gain life” (21:19).

“When you see standing in the holy place ‘the abomination that causes desolation’ …” let everyone flee from Judea to the mountains (vs 15, 16).  Do not stop to grab anything.

“When you see Jerusalem being surrounded by armies, you will know that its desolation is near.  Then let those in Judea flee to the mountains, let those in the city get out” (21:21).

“This gospel will be preached in the whole world… and then the end will come” (vs 14).

“For then there  “There will be a great distress in the will be great distress, land and wrath against this people.  unequaled from the beginning They will fall by the sword and will be of the world until now—and taken as prisoners to all the nations.  never to be equaled again”  Jerusalem will be trampled on by the (vs 15­21).

Revelation

“The coming of the lawless one (the Anti­Christ) will be in accordance with the work of Satan displayed in all kinds of counterfeit miracles, signs and wonders, and in every sort of evil that deceives those who are perishing" (vs 9, 10).

The “beast from the earth”, the Anti­christ’s second­in­command, acts as a spiritual leader performing “great and miraculous signs” and deceiving people into worshipping the Anti­christ. (13:13­18).

Zechariah 14 and Daniel 12

The 4 horses of conquest, war, famine and death are sent out and given power to “take peace from the earth to make men slay each other”; to grossly inflate the prices of wheat and barley;  “to kill by sword, famine, plague and wild beasts” (6:1­8). The Anti­christ will “be given power to make war against the saints and to conquer them.  And he was given authority over every tribe, people, language and nation.  All inhabitants of the earth will worship the beast—all whose names have not been written in the book of life” (13:6­ 8). His second­in­command will force everyone to worship the Anti­ christ and his image and receive his mark on their forehead or right hand.  You will not be able to use currency to buy or sell if you do not have the mark (13:11­18). “And [John] saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony for Jesus, and because of the word of God.  They had not worshiped the beast or his image and had not received the mark” (20:4). “This calls for patient endurance on the part of the saints (13:10) who obey God’s commandments and remain faithful to Jesus… Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on” (14:12, 13). “Concerning the coming of our The Anti­Christ was “given a “I will gather all nations to Lord Jesus Christ, and our being mouth to utter proud words and Jerusalem to fight against gathered to him: …That day will blasphemies and to exercise his it…” (14:2). not come until the rebellion authority for forty­two months.  occurs, and the man of He opened his mouth to lawlessness” (the anti­Christ) “is blaspheme God, and to slander his revealed [and] sets himself up in name and his dwelling place and God’s temple, proclaiming himself those who live in heaven (13:5­ to be God” (vs 1, 3, 4). 7).  “Then I saw another angel flying in midair, and he had the eternal gospel to proclaim to those who live on the earth—to every nation, tribe, language and people” (14:6). The Lord will “give power to my two witnesses, and they will prophesy for 1260 days” (11:3). The Gentiles will be given the outer court of the temple.  “They will trample on the holy city for 42 months” (11:2). 

“…the city will be captured, the houses ransacked… half the city will go into exile, but the rest of the people will not be taken from the city” (14:2). “There will be a time of distress such has not happened from the beginning of nations until then” (12:2).  “From the time that the daily sacrifice is abolished and the abomination that causes

“For as lightning that comes from the east is visible even in the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man” (vs 27).

We will know Jesus is coming because “The Son of Man in his day will be like the lightning which flashes and lights up the sky from one end to the other” (17:24).
