objective of this part and the whole book of Revelation, is to offer greatness to and to lift up
the favored Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. This is perhaps the most troublesome part

entry and gather some reality from it. Kindly notification that the occasions portrayed here
presumably occur inside the initial 3 1/2 years of the Tribulation. Against Christ has
set up overall harmony, a world religion, world economy and a long term
contract with the country of Israel. How about we notice the occasions of this terrible period.
