I wonder how in the world would the Antichrist be able to convince all the nations to gather in israel to fight the messiah. they must know who they are fighting if so many troops are are there.
. It can't be economic becuase israel has few mineral resources.
Then it hit me that Western civilization has had a boogeyman ever since the beginning of last century. it was japanese, bolsheviks, communists, jews, now terrorists.

is satan is as smart as we think he is do you think that many christians today will recognize his work?

Don't be arrogant into thinking you can't fall for his charms.

Revelation 7-11 shows that God's elect would be sealed from God's judgements on the world. Then the trumpets start blasting and the world is economically thrown over as 1/3 of the world's harvest is burned up, 1/3 of the sea life destroyed, 1/3 of the trade ships destroyed, 1/3 of the drinking waters poisoned, 1/3 of the skies darkened so that relief efforts, air travel, and tourism are haulted. Then resources decline in those areas affected, and they start to hunger, slowly being tortured for five months. During this time, God's people will be protected and will prosper and this will incite envy among many nations, by which are named Gog and Magog. They will gather together and come down from the farthest parts of the North, from Persia, and from Put, Cush, and Lybia. They will gather in the mountains of Israel in one accord, but as Ezekiel 38 shows, they will be confused and will turn against each other. And God will send fire from above to devour them. This goes with the sixth trumpet in which four angels are released from the Euphrates River to destroy 1/3 of mankind in ONE HOUR with fire,smoke, and brimstone. Is it at all suprising that Russia has nuclear bombs? Even Persia (Iran) is seeking nuclear energy capabilities. Somehow, these four angels become 200 million HORSEMEN that destroy 1/3 of mankind with fire, smoke, and brimstone. The fact is that these four angels fight with the strength of 200 million HORSEMEN, not that its even possible to have an army of 200 million men riding on horses to kill 1/3 of mankind in an hour with fire (which eliminates the need of a horse.) These four angels are nuclear bombs. Ezekiel 39 shows that those gathered against Israel will turn on each other and will fight each other and that God will send fire from above to consume them. This fits well with the picture. And it even gives space for the seventh trumpet to occur: seven months to bury the dead and seven years to burn the resources. After this time, Zechariah portrays an invasion of Israel by the nations gathered against them to make war(by reference of Revelation 17 shows is the union of European nations.) 1/2 of the city of Jerusalem will go into exile while the other half remain within. During this time, I think the two witnesses will be overcome and killed. Their dead bodies will lie in the streets for 3 and 1/2 days, in which will consumate with their resurrection and rapture unto Christ as he returns to earth to conquer the nations and slay those gathered against him and his people. From that time, he will rule for a thousand years in righteousness. After that, the condemned dead will be resurrected and judged by God of their rejection of Him and be burned with fire. Their death will last forever. The earth and the heavens will burned as well at the face of God Almighty. And that is my interpretation of how it will be. God bless

I dont think many Christians today will recognize Satans work because he comes as an angel of light.

Rev 16:13
And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs [come] out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet.
We know the dragon is Satan,
I consider Israel as the BEAST
And the false prophet is he who would claim to make peace between Christians, Jews and Arabs.
Rev 16:14
For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, [which] go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.
The purpose is to deceive the world rulers into launching a great war in the middle east,
Rev 16:15
Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed [is] he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.

Here we have Jesus warning us to watch our step because everyone will be exposed when he returns and it will be to late to change.

With love in Christ

Revelation 16 shows that all the kings of the earth and the WHOLE WORLD will be gathered together.......its not in a specific territory...its a gathering in one accord....against Christ. There is very little chance that the whole world is gonna gather in one valley just to snuff out a little city. God bless

:) Barraco, you are wise beyond your years sir.

Believers always notice that people get all bent out of shape over the simple name Jesus. It stirs the hearts and minds of all people. I like to try and get people to at least say the name Jesus before I'll talk too deeply with them about the Lord. Some people cannot even say it which reminds me of another warning written by Paul.

Isaiah 14: 12. How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! 13. For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will EXALT MY THRONE above the stars of God: I WILL SIT UPON THE MOUNT OF THE CONGREGATION, in the sides of the north: 14I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I WILL BE LIKE THE MOST HIGH.

Psalms 48: 2. Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised in the city of our God, in the mountain of his holiness. 2. Beautiful for situation, the joy of the whole earth, is MOUNT ZION, on the sides of the north, THE CITY OF THE GREAT KING.

2 Cor 11:14. And no marvel; for SATAN HIMSELF IS TRANSFORMED INTO AN ANGEL OF LIGHT.
15. Therefore it is no great thing if HIS MINISTERS ALSO BE TRANSFORMED AS MINISTERS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS; whose end shall be according to their works.
In peace, PC.

For now, I don't think that the Antichrist will have any problem deceiving the nations because that isn't his allotted work from Lucifer. The Antichrist is Satan's emissary of "Ill Will" to the professing Christian Church, not the governments of nations. I favor the view that aside from the Antichrist's appointed work, the deception of the governmental nations has been left up to "Beast", while the deception of the educational system and all other false religions has been turned over to the "False Prophet". If this view were true, it is flattering to know that although Satan has handed over the task of undermining many nations to one subordinate, many false religions likewise to a single subordinate, but devoted the Antichrist to undermining only one, single religion...Christianity. It would seem that the underworld is more concerned with the Church of Christ than they are of other associative groups. Why the special interest with the Church? Isn't it because we have the Holy Spirit while false religions and godless governments do not? This isn't a new view, nor can it be clearly proven from scriptures, but it could be.
