After the true church of believers in Jesus is taken to heaven, the false church will become strong very quickly. This false church is called a woman. She is the devil’s imitation of the church. She will rule the Western powers together with the political ruler called the Beast. She deceives the people who used to go to church but rejected Christianity. They hated Christ. But they want to worship something. This false church deceives these people to worship the Beast. The Beast blasphemes God and wants to be God. But the woman really wants people to worship her, so she sits on the Beast to control the politics. The people give her money. She runs the false church like a commercial business and gets very rich. She kills anyone who worships God instead of her.
The Beast is the seventh king but is controlled by the rule of the false church. The Beast will get the support of the leaders of ten nations. They will destroy the false church and break free from her control. The Beast will be the final king. He will be all-powerful. The people will worship him. He will think he became God. But he runs into trouble. Jesus Christ the Lamb, the Lord of lords and King of kings, will return to earth to take His kingdom. We believers, the called, chosen and faithful, will come back with Him. The Beast, with the power of Satan, will attack Jesus Christ. The Beast and the world powers lose the war. They are sent into the perdition of hell to suffer an eternal punishment in the lake of fire. The words of God shall be fulfilled. Jesus wins!
