How will the Antichrist's government support the world church in Revelation 17?
The revived Roman Empire, a worldwide political system headed by the Antichrist, will subsidize and support the world church. As a beast of burden carries and supports its rider, the Antichrist's government will carry and sustain this religious system, allowing the church to ride upon it.
Les explains that the beast of burden carrying something is supporting it, so the revived Roman Empire—the great political worldwide system headed by the man Antichrist—will subsidize and support this world church. The church is riding upon it, and the government of the Antichrist is supporting it. The beast that carries her has seven heads and ten horns, a reference to the Antichrist, Satan, and the Empire. This ancient Roman political, economic, and pagan religious system will culminate in the end time.
And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou marvel? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns.
Who will support the world church in the end times according to Revelation 17?
