Who can listen to the news today and not realize that we are about to experience economic disaster in America! The debt we have is impossible to sustain. If you are wise, you also realize that, there are extreme economic hardships across the world at present. Even the more powerful nations are bracing for economic downturn because we live in a global economy that is impactful on everyone. Revelation 18 is almost exclusively devoted to the impact of a downturn that will resonate throughout the world. Revelation 13:17 underscores the seriousness of the problem. The Anti-Christ promotes the idea of incorporating the individuals of the world into a giant scheme to keep the economy moving forward. Once you buy into this system, putting your trust in a false world leader, you pledge yourself to impending doom. Revelation 14:9, 10
