'Tribulation – 5th Seal'
Mat 24:9 "Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and kill you, and you will be hated by all nations for My name's sake."
Immediately after WW3, which had caused so much suffering and pain and with a quarter of mankind killed, the Antichrist will set up One World Order to replace UN. This will be the Period of Sorrows or Tribulation for Christians.
Rev 17:12 "The ten horns which you saw are ten kings who have received no kingdom as yet, but they receive authority for one hour as kings with the beast. These are of one mind, and they will give their power and authority to the beast."
Since the whole world is under the Antichrist's Islamic control, he will appoint ten kings to help him govern it. He will declare peace throughout the whole earth by banning all unrests, protests, demonstrations and wars. All rebels will be imprisoned, removed or killed.
(The Quran quotes that 'when Islam controls the whole world, there will be peace'). Their peace is achieved by force, intimidation and execution. This is not the type of peace that our Lord Jesus gives to us.
John 14:27 "Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid."
To ensure the continuation of world peace, he allows only a 'One World Religion', because most of the conflicts and wars were instigated by religion. He wants to see the combination of Islam, Judaism and Christianity into a single religion.
For Muslims to accept Moses as a prophet (Judaism) is easy for they already acknowledged him in the Quran. For Jews to accept Mohammed as a prophet is another matter.
So, the Antichrist will devise a deception for Christians and Jews by rebuilding the temple of God for the unity of these three religions.
Having conquered Jerusalem for the Muslims, he will be highly respected and also accepted as a prophet of Allah. He will prophesy that Allah wants to dwell amongst them. So the Muslims willingly pull down 'The Dome' and Al Aqsa mosque to make way for the temple of God.
To further deceive the Jews, he will proclaim that Yahweh only allows the priesthoods to rebuild the temple of God for Him to dwell there. The construction of the temple solely by the Jews will delight the Jews.
What about the Christians?
The Muslims accept Jesus as a prophet and the Jews can also accept Him as a prophet, but they will not accept His divinity. For the successful formation of 'One World Religion', Christians must accept that Jesus is not the Son of God but only a prophet just like Moses and Mohammed. This destroys the very foundation of Christianity. Fearful, faithless and power- seeking pastors will submit to the Antichrist by accepting this new religion, but God fearing and bible believing Christians will reject and rebel against this new 'One World Religion'.
Christians who reject this new religion will be taken as 'lovers of wars' or 'peace haters', resulting in the whole world hating them and wanting them to be punished. They will be persecuted, tortured, and finally martyred if they still will not deny Jesus' divinity.
Mat 24:9 "Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and kill you, and you will be hated by all nations for My name's sake."
