Then - right at that moment, the sky will open up and a man appearing to look like Jesus will appear. Sound crazy? Suppose a UFO landed and a beautiful being got out of it. This being is kind, loving, humble and willing to help the world achieve total peace and solve all their problems.
<BR><BR>Right now, in the Middle East, everyone is crying for peace at ANY cost. Do you think they would accept help from an extraterrestrial being? Of course they would - especially since most people now believe in the existence of other life forms within our solar system.
<BR><BR>This person who solves all our problems, eliminates hunger, provides financial and medical security to everyone and restores peace and tranquility for all will be certainly popular and worshiped by most everyone on the planet Earth.
<BR><BR>But if you have studied the personality of Satan, you will know that he takes everything of God and twists it just slightly to make it mean something else in an attempt to deceive mankind. He also is the type to "suck you in" and when he has you under his thumb - he attacks and pulls the rug right out from under you.
<BR><BR>The key here is NOT to worship or trust the first "Christ" that appears - no matter what miracles he performs. The Antichrist will have a lot of supernatural powers to try and win your total worship. He will be able to snap his fingers and bring lightening down from the sky. He will put on a show that will cause some people to fall to their knees and worship him.
<BR><BR>But as the 3╜ years of the Antichrist's rein wears on, people will find that this great, powerful, supernatural being also was only able to put a "band-aid" on the world's problems. His greed will get the better of him and he will turn on mankind like a sniper! He will demand that everyone on Earth must wear his mark. If they don't, they cannot buy or sell and anyone claiming to be a Christian in those days will be killed.
<BR><BR>A final war in Armageddon will develop and just before the world is destroyed by man - God will appear. The first place his feet will touch will be on Mount Zion in Jerusalem.
