How will the Antichrist gather the nations to Armageddon?
The Antichrist will gather the nations by personally calling world leaders and sending emissaries to various capitals, urging them to bring their armed forces to the Middle East against the Jews. Demonic creatures working miracles will convince kings and leaders to send their armies, while a sovereign God works behind the scenes to gather them to Armageddon.
Les teaches that the Antichrist will do much the same thing as President Bush did during Desert Storm. Bush would pick up the phone and call national leaders by their first name, convincing them to put their marbles in one basket for a unified effort against Saddam Hussein. That was a tiny preview. The Antichrist will probably pick up the phone and send emissaries to various capitals, saying, bring your armed forces, let's get rid of the big problem plaguing us, and that's the Jew. These demonic creatures, working miracles, will convince the kings and leaders of the nations to send their armies to the Middle East. Yet the sovereign God is behind it, working through the mindset of the Antichrist, who puts out the call to the nations to come to the Middle East. God gathers them together to the place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon, from which the word comes from Megiddo.
