The Reign Of The Antichrist
World To Be Segment 3
John S. Torell With Charles M. Thorell
July 28, 2025
The general teaching concerning the reign of the Antichrist is that this event will take place over a period of seven years. This is what the Baptist, Evangelical, and Pentecostal churches have adopted as their doctrine. The fact that this timeline does not appear in the Bible is a fallacy that has been repeated since 1900. This doctrine is loosely based upon the prophetic word given to Daniel.
Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy.
Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times.
And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined.
And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.
The seven-year period of the Antichrist is a theological construct that is not backed by Scripture, but since it has been repeated for almost 124 years, it is now considered truth.
In contrast, what does the Bible actually say about the length of the Antichrist’s reign? The apostle John was told that the Man of Sin is going reign for precisely one hour.
And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space.
And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.
And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.
These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast.
Think about this for a moment. What can a person accomplish in a single hour? What kind of kingship lasts for just an hour? It doesn’t take a lot of imagination that ruling for such a short amount of time would be unfulfilling and wanting more. The key to understanding this passage is recognizing that John was taken to heaven. Time operates differently in heaven compared to earth. We know this is true because the angel that appeared to Daniel used a time measurement foreign to mankind.
And I heard the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand unto heaven, and sware by him that liveth for ever that it shall be for a time, times, and an half; and when he shall have accomplished to scatter the power of the holy people, all these things shall be finished.
And I heard, but I understood not: then said I, O my Lord, what shall be the end of these things?
And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end.
But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
Peter stated that one day with the Lord is the equivalent of a thousand years on earth. Given the earth completes a rotation every twenty-four hours, we can deduce God’s way of timekeeping when we divide 1,000 years by 24 hours.
• 1 hour with God is 41.67 earth years
• 1 minute with God is 8 months and 8 days on earth
• 1 second with God is 3 days and 22 hours on earth
It is entirely likely that the Antichrist will rule for 41.6 years. That represents more than four decades to achieve the events stated in the Book of Revelation. The second return of Jesus brings an end to this era when the Man of Sin is cast into the Lake of Fire.
And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army.
And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.
In comparison, Adolf Hitler ruled Germany for just twelve years from 1933 to 1945. Any student of history knows the horrors to which he subjected the world during that time period. Can you imagine what further harm he could have done if he had been in power for three more decades?
ANTICHRIST FACTS
The earliest prophecies in the Bible regarding the Antichrist are found in the book of Daniel, who lived from 623-538 B.C. The prophet revealed this person was going to be “vile” (wretchedly bad, highly offensive, repulsive, disgusting) and he will come in peaceably and obtain his kingdom by flatteries. He will not have a large army, but will take power with a small amount of people through deception. He will enter peaceably and wreak destruction upon the inhabitants of Israel.
And in his estate shall stand up a vile person, to whom they shall not give the honour of the kingdom: but he shall come in peaceably, and obtain the kingdom by flatteries.
And with the arms of a flood shall they be overflown from before him, and shall be broken; yea, also the prince of the covenant.
And after the league made with him he shall work deceitfully: for he shall come up, and shall become strong with a small people.
He shall enter peaceably even upon the fattest places of the province; and he shall do that which his fathers have not done, nor his fathers' fathers; he shall scatter among them the prey, and spoil, and riches: yea, and he shall forecast his devices against the strong holds, even for a time.
He will magnify himself over every god worshiped on earth and will arrogantly dare to speak astonishing things against the God of gods and the whole world will marvel at his wicked words in amazement.
And the king shall do according to his will; and he shall exalt himself, and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak marvellous things against the God of gods, and shall prosper till the indignation be accomplished: for that that is determined shall be done.
SIGNIFICANCE OF 666
When we examine the Book of Revelation, the Man of Sin is identified with the number 666, which happens to be the same Kabbalistic number name of King Solomon.
Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.
Solomon demanded exactly 666 talents of gold as tribute and he also built a throne with six steps and a lion on each side. Anyone standing in front of the throne could not help but see his Kabalistic number of 666.
Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred threescore and six talents of gold.
Moreover the king made a great throne of ivory, and overlaid it with the best gold.
The throne had six steps, and the top of the throne was round behind: and there were stays on either side on the place of the seat, and two lions stood beside the stays.
And twelve lions stood there on the one side and on the other upon the six steps: there was not the like made in any kingdom..
King Solomon laid the foundation for Kabbalistic worship in Israel.1 He started out correctly, but by the time he died, he had completely walked away from God. While the Bible condemns sin, the Kabbalah glorifies it! The more Solomon sinned, the more he was serving god because sinning helps usher in the holy serpent (Kabbalistic messiah) from the abyss to establish his kingdom on earth.
This messiah will enslave the earth and install the twelve tribes as rulers under him. Now, if this new to you, I recommend that you read a series of books which expose the teaching of the Kabbalah as developed by King Solomon.2
JEWISH SCRIPTURE
It is noteworthy that the Jews have three volumes of books that they consider scriptural. Christians are familiar with the Old Testament writings of the Mosaic law, the prophets, and the other historical writings. But there are two other volumes that exist – the Talmud and the Kabbalah. The Talmud is a massive collection of rabbinic discussions and commentary on the Old Testament; its writers were prejudicial toward Gentiles and this affected the New Testament church because the apostles had been steeped in this hateful rhetoric. The Kabbalah is a gigantic volume – 550 books – and serves as a textbook on magic and the renegade messiah described in the Book of Revelation.
THE TWO MESSSIAHS
Jesus was incarnated into a human body and started His ministry around the time He was thirty years old. He became popular with the people since He healed the sick and cast out demons, but the Jewish leadership consisting of the high priest, the Levites, Pharisees, Sadducees, and Herodians all rejected Him because the God-man claimed to be God and man. They absolutely hated Jesus for showing them up and defying their authority, but divinity was ostensibly the reason they demanded His crucifixion.
But Jesus held his peace, And the high priest answered and said unto him, I adjure thee by the living God, that thou tell us whether thou be the Christ, the Son of God.
Jesus saith unto him, Thou hast said: nevertheless I say unto you, Hereafter shall ye see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.
Then the high priest rent his clothes, saying, He hath spoken blasphemy; what further need have we of witnesses? behold, now ye have heard his blasphemy. What think ye?
They answered and said, He is guilty of death. Then did they spit in his face, and buffeted him; and others smote him with the palms of their hands.
The Kabbalah teaches its messiah is going to be a man, anointed by God, with the same calling as Sampson.3 The Kabbalistic messiah won’t pay for the sins of the people. According to the Jewish leadership – past and present – that is carried out in the temple through sacrifices. The holy serpent is coming to set up the kingdom of Israel that will exercise dominion over the entire world. This type of thinking permeated even the apostles, made evident by their question to Jesus.
When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel?
In contrast, the Messiah of God foretold by the prophet Isaiah in 700 B.C. was going to pay for the sins of humanity. We know Jesus performed the redemption on a cross after being brutally scourged by the Romans.4
KABBALISTIC LUCIFERIAN MESSIAH
According to Kabbalistic doctrine, when God was busy with the creation of the universe, he became confused and a portion of him fell into the bottomless abyss. This portion took the form of a holy serpent (messiah).
It is the duty of all Kabbalists to work diligently to usher in the holy serpent from the abyss so he can begin to reign and restore the Kingdom of Israel. It was decided by the Kabbalistic leadership that there were two ways to bring up the holy serpent from the abyss. The first way is known as the high road and it involves making all of humanity good. The second way is the low road and requires making everyone evil. The leadership decided it was easier to compel people into evil and that is the current situation we find ourselves in now.
It is the duty of Kabbalists to sin as much as possible and to break the commandments written in the Torah (Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy). Jewish entrepreneurs started the motion picture industry in the early 1900s and this trend continues today with the different media corporations.
It is easy to see how the Kabbalists have fulfilled their goal of getting Americans to wallow in sin. They played a prominent role in establishing the porn industry in the San Fernando Valley of Southern California. They took the Kama Sutra text on sexuality and eroticism to a whole new level with pornographic movies portraying every imaginable sex act and presented it to the public. The advent of streaming video on the internet caused an explosion of growth as people discovered it could be viewed within the privacy of their home.
The majority of Christian pastors are ignorant about the existence of the Kabbalah, and as a result, their church members are also clueless.
And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.
And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.
And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.
And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?
And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.
And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.
And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.
And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
If any man have an ear, let him hear.
The Antichrist described in the Bible is going to be none other than the Kabbalistic messiah (holy serpent)
THE ARRIVAL OF THE ANTICHRIST
Are there any signs in the Bible that foretell when the Antichrist begins his unbridled and turbulent reign on earth? Yes, the apostle Paul received a revelation from the Lord about discerning the times. He wrote the two epistles to the church at Thessalonica before his death around A.D. 64/65 and therefore was ignorant about the Jewish uprising in A.D. 67 which resulted in the Roman destruction of Jerusalem and the temple in A.D. 70.
Paul wrote that the Antichrist will arrive first before the second return of Jesus when the Son of God comes back to set up His millennial kingdom. However, before the Antichrist comes on the scene, there will be a major falling away among Christians who will walk away from their faith in Christ. Then the Antichrist is going to be revealed as the “man of sin” and the “son of perdition.” He will enter the rebuilt temple in Jerusalem, walk into the holy of holies, and declare his godhood.
Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him, That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.
Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.
Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things? And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time.
And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple.
And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.
And as some spake of the temple, how it was adorned with goodly stones and gifts, he said,
As for these things which ye behold, the days will come, in the which there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.
Only the temple mount remains from that time period today when the Romans burned the temple and destroyed the surrounding buildings that made up the temple complex. Just as Jesus predicted, not one stone was left upon another.
The Muslims conquered Jerusalem in A.D. 638 and erected the Al-Aqsa-Mosque on the temple mount in A.D. 705. The mosque was damaged by earthquakes in A.D. 746 and A.D. 1033 and rebuilt each time. The Crusaders captured Jerusalem in A.D. 1099 and converted the mosque into a church.
The Muslims under Saladin retook Jerusalem and the mosque was restored in A.D. 1187. The only remainder of the second temple is the western retaining wall of the temple mount, known as the wailing wall.
There is a movement in Israel called “The Third Temple” which is dedicated to preparing for and promoting the rebuilding of the temple in Jerusalem. It has a department of architecture which has prepared a 1/50 scale model and the goal is to reinstate the temple rituals and priesthood. To that end they have constructed a gold menorah, Ark of the Covenant replica, table of showbread, priestly garments, incense altar, etc.5
However, there is one thing that must happen before the third temple can be built. The Al-Aqsa-Mosque must be removed by some means. The last time it was destroyed was through an earthquake. Will it be a third earthquake or an act by the Israeli government? It does not matter since God has stated the Antichrist will stand in the temple; therefore the Man of Sin’s coming will be preceded by the construction of a third temple. This is one of the signs that foretells the Son of Perdition’s arrival and ascent to power. When the construction of the third temple begins in Jerusalem, the arrival of the Antichrist is imminent.
HOLDING BACK THE ANTICHRIST
The political landscape is always shifting. There are many nations, but only the powerful ones are able to dominate development on earth. One of the earliest was Nimrod, who responsible for building the city of Babel. A number of nations down through the centuries have also tried to dominate the world.
1. The Assyrian Empire – 21st century B.C. to 14th century B.C.
2. The Babylonian Empire – 626-539 B.C.
3. The Persian Empire – 550-330 B.C.
4. The Greek Empire – 336-323 B.C.
5. The Roman Empire – 27 B.C.-476 A.D.
6. Byzantine Empire – 330-1453 A.D.
7. The Inca Empire – early 13th century-1572
8. The Ottoman Empire – 1481-1922
9. The Russian Empire – 1721-1917
10. The British Empire – 1497- 1997
11. The Soviet Union – 1922-1991
12. Nazi Germany – 1933-1945
Only the British Empire had a global reach and it was said that the sun never set on it because of their territories in every time zone. But they never strove for a worldwide empire. They were more business oriented about bringing riches to the homeland. Regardless, none of the aforementioned empires could have served as the powerbase for the Antichrist because none of them controlled the entire world and the technology did not exist to support the Beast system.
There are several contenders for power centers; the United States, European Union, Russia, and China. However, since the Book of Revelation states the capital of the Antichrist is going to be Jerusalem, and the Kabbalistic World Government consists of Jews living and operating in Europe, the United States, and Israel, it means Russia and China are not part of their plan and out of contention.
The Russian people are weary of Jews since the Bolshevik revolution in 1917 was a Kabbalistic takeover. All the major players were Jewish except for Vladimir Lenin and Joseph Stalin. President Vladimir Putin and his political party dream of a new Russian empire where all the land which has been lost is restored. Putin has zero interest in the Kingdom of Israel.
The same goes for Communist China and Xi Jinping, General Secretary of the Communist Party of China. He is a ruthless leader and under his regime Christians have been severely persecuted. Xi has no interest in the Kingdom of Israel; his goal is to restore China’s greatness and become a dominating factor in world politics.
It is interesting that Vladimir Putin traveled to North Korea and forged a treaty between the two nations. Putin has also visited Communist Vietnam and developed close relations with that government. Xi Jinping has traveled to Russia and Putin has also visited China. I believe an alliance exists with Russia, China, North Korea, Vietnam, and Iran. Russia, China, and North Korea possess nuclear weapons and the means to strike any place throughout the world. Iran was seemingly months away from becoming a nuclear power and Israel’s sneak attack has delayed those ambitions by two years.
The Kabbalistic world government does not have any armed forces. They rely on the militaries of the United States and the European Union. There is tension building between the Eastern block and the Western nations. I believe that in time it will lead to World War III.
A VISION ABOUT WORLD WAR 3
An examination of the list of the twelve aforementioned empires reveals they did not align with other empires. Thus far we have witnessed two world wars, (1914-1918 and 1939-1945) which were fought with nations divided into two camps. The major players were the same in both wars. Germany with its allies on the losing side and France, England, Russia and the United States on the winning side.
The death toll for World War I is estimated at twenty million deaths due to trench warfare, chemical warfare, starvation, and disease. World War II saw an estimated seventy-five million people die; the majority of them were civilian due to warfare, the holocaust, bombing of cities, and famine. The higher death rate was due to the more advanced weapons than in the first one. Military aircraft in the first war were very small and simple. During the second war the nations had developed deadly fighter aircraft and heavy four engine bombers, which were used to do carpet bombing of the cities.
From the time the Jewish Kabbalists took over Russia and formed the Soviet Union, the policies have been to conquer all nations and spread communism. The United States formed a coalition of nations in 1949 and named it the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) to contain the efforts of the Soviet Union in Europe and North America. There were twelve original founding nations; there are currently 32 nations, with Sweden joining in 2024.
The Soviet Union responded and organized its own alliance called “The Warsaw Pact” in 1955. It consisted of eight communist nations. The Warsaw Pact was dissolved with the disbanding of the Soviet Union in 1991. Poland, Hungary, Czech Republic, Bulgaria, Romania, and Slovakia applied for membership to NATO between 1999-2004, which caused great anger in Russia. NATO now controls Europe from the Scandinavian countries to the Mediterranean Sea. Europe has experienced peace for 79 years, except for uprisings in the Balkans in the 1990s.
It is obvious there is no chance for Satan to usher in the Antichrist and set up the Kingdom of Israel since no nation is willing to give up its sovereignty and become provinces of a World Federation. Most people are nationalistic in their thinking and only a nation with the chronic challenges of a poor economy, political instability, natural disasters, mediocre infrastructure, and widespread poverty would even begin to consider yielding its sovereignty and freedom.
The United Nations (UN) was formed in 1945, and as of 2025, it has 193 member states. The problem is that the UN does not exercise political control of its members, and in fact is very fractured. There are two main factions within the UN as NATO and Russia with its allies strive for control. The tension between these two blocks is high, and the possibility of members agreeing to a World Federation is impossible at this time. Only a global catastrophic event has a chance at making this a reality. But that is a conversation for another time.
