Suppose the end times were a theatre play, and we knew the script, the actors, and the scenery for each act. In that case, we would know what to expect in each scene of the play. We would know what to look for. The Bible gives us the script, and we know what to expect: forming a new world order, a global digital currency, and a state-run world religion. We know the Antichrist and false prophet are backstage, waiting to appear. Everything is getting put in place, and at any minute, the curtain could lift, and the play could start. In this book, we review the script and what to watch for.

First, we start with Daniel and the book of Revelation and analyze the ascension of the Antichrist to power and his character. We also look at establishing the global empire that the Antichrist will rule over. We break down that kingdom into three categories: government, religion, and finance. We also look at the false prophet who will reign alongside the Antichrist. While looking at all these factors, we integrate how the current events lead to the events that will fulfill prophecy in the future.

When the disciples asked Jesus about the signs of his coming, the first sign, and probably the most prominent, that he mentioned was deception. Sadly, he spoke of religious deception with false prophets in the church. Deception is the only end-time sign that is purely mental and spiritual, and end-time spiritual warfare is being fought continuously all around us. We are a generation where artificial intelligence and algorithms try to control our minds; governments tell us what to think, and society and social platforms try to pressure us into submission to their narratives. But as Christians, we have the word of God and the Holy Spirit to give us the mind of Christ to guide us. We will discuss spiritual tactics and strategies to guard ourselves against falling prey to religious deception. Each believer must have ever-increasing discernment to spot frauds and heresies to be a watchman to protect themselves and warn others until the Lord returns for the church at the rapture.

We are in the end times; our world is changing quickly to line up with Bible prophecy. Jesus said the signs of his return would be like birth pangs, growing globally in intensity and frequency. We are seeing those signs happening weekly in real-time with wars, food shortages, pandemics, shutdowns, and natural disasters, all leading to global tyranny. There will be global persecution of Christians and Jews, and it's not a question of if, but when. There will also be a great falling away from Christ, and we can see it happening already. So-called churches are already becoming sexually immoral, politically woke, and in bed with the government. As more churches go apostate or get shut down, true believers may have to find or create small groups for fellowship. While we have time and freedom, we should study the scriptures, share the gospel, and watch for Jesus to return.

This book is part of a series of studies that all Christians should know and teach. We call it the "toolbox series" because these studies are tools to equip you to share your faith with others. For free resources and study materials, visit our website at Ears2Hear.online.
