Are current world events fulfilled prophecy or just stage setting for the Antichrist?

Les teaches that America on the whole has no concept that we are approaching the end time. He explains that all these things taking place are just a constant fulfilling of the stage setting. It is still not fulfilled prophecy wise, but we are setting the stage day by day for the appearance of the Antichrist, that world ruler. Les points to the talk of global government, global business, a global market, and a global religion as evidence. He says this Book is prophesied, but people are ignorant because they refuse to see what the Book says, just as Israel was.
