Page 66 - Eschatology - Masters revised

Everyone will have suddenly disappeared at the exact same moment. They will stop returning phone
calls and e-mails. They will stop paying their bills and compensating their employees. They will stop
being a force for good and hope in the world. They will simply be gone. The homes will lie vacant, and
others will begin to take control of their property. Neighborhoods will be in utter turmoil.

It seems that the world will be in a social and economic upheaval. The effects will be cataclysmic. The
entire world will be looking to someone who can bring a solution to all the chaos.

We know in Revelation 13 that a leader will rise out of Europe who will claim to know how to bring
order from the chaos. The world will be desperate for answers and be willing to give up their personal
freedoms to a man who can bring about law and order and bring back prosperity. The world will begin
to cooperate with a one-world leader who will be able to solve their difficult problems.

The Rapture of the Church sets the stage for the beginning of the tribulation period and the rise of the
antichrist.
