THE RISE OF THE ANTICHRIST, PART 4 In our study, “A Biblical View of the End Times,” we are examining the ascent of the antichrist on the world stage. The world then will be lawless, depraved, hostile to truth, and profoundly deceived. This lesson examines the spiritual climate of the world in that gap of time between the Rapture and the Tribulation’s start. It explores how apostate-secular-humanistic-occultic leanings in our world today are mere shadows of a genocidal global false religious system that will quickly form and sweep this planet after God supernaturally removes his church from it.
