What is the rise of globalism and global government a sign of?
Globalism in all its forms—global religion, global economies, and global government—is a sure sign that the world is getting very close to the appearance of the Antichrist, who will rule as world ruler under that global environment. Before that, believers will be caught up to meet the Lord in the air.
Les explains that as we see the things of the world taking place—globalism in all its forms and shapes, global religion, global economies, and global government—we know this is a sure sign that we are getting very close to the appearance of the Antichrist, who will be the world ruler under that global environment. He also notes that before that happens, believers are going to be snatched away, caught up in 1 Thessalonians, and suddenly meet the Lord in the air. Les ties this to the Blessed Hope and the manifestation of the children of God, for which all creation waits. He says no dates are set; it may take place today, tomorrow, or a while yet. All creation looks for that day because it triggers the final days of the curse, and the seven years of tribulation are God's way of paying off Satan's mortgage, as studied in Revelation chapter 5.
