Pastor John,
If I am quoting you right, you have said that unrest and chaos in the world will set the stage for the rule of the Beast from The Book of Revelation.
Today I read that “El Salvador reportedly re-elected a man who has already arrested 1% of their entire population, without charges, to thwart gang violence. It has been effective, and the people cheer him. But they gave away their rule of law to be safe.”
The man may be right in what he has done. I just noticed how similar this is to your description of the prophetic Beast bringing peace to a world that is upside down with disorder. It will not necessarily be a good way to restore order, but I believe you said the people will embrace any version of peace because things will be so bad.

Hi Jerry.
Yes, the “Beast” is God’s name for that wicked man. The world will call him something else, maybe something like “Savior”. He will bring an end to the chaos on earth and set the nations in order, and he will seem to be a wise and good ruler (to men). The whole world will marvel at him.
In the news, I have seen that the phrase going around now about that stern, re-elected El Salvadoran ruler is “the world’s favorite dictator.” That’s the way it will be with the Beast.
Pastor John
