Hellow Acts . When God says the whole world I don't believe he means the entire globe . Empires of the past were said to rule the world , yet they never ruled over the American Indian , the Australian aborigine , or the eskimo's , Gods focus was the mediteranian arena . It is said that the hebrew letters on the phylactery is the name of God , and in the book of revelation there are people being beheaded , these people have jesus fathers name written in there foreheads revelation : 14 . The phylactery also has spiritual overtones , what you think in your mind and what you do with your hand , good and evil are known by this . When the Antichrist rules from Jerusalem , I believe he will try to replace Gods name with his own , under penilty of starvation and death . I also know that Jerusalem is the harlot woman of revelation , but I will comment on that at another time . thanks
