Desolation of The Nations - Two Sources of Destruction

A. The consequences of the coming abominations will result in great desolation (destruction)coming to many nations from two totally different sources, from Jesus and the Antichrist. There will be 3½ years of global desolation that will threaten the life of the majority of the earth.

22 And unless those days were shortened, no flesh would be saved (physically saved from death)but for the elect's sake those days will be shortened. (Mt. 24:22)

B. First, Jesus will destroy the people and places who worship the Antichrist and/or his image. Jesus will open the scroll to release the plagues in book of Revelation (7 seals, 7 trumpets, 7 bowls).

8 Power was given to them over a fourth of the earth…. (Rev. 6:8)

15 The four angels…were released to kill a third of mankind. (Rev. 9:15)

16 The LORD will judge all flesh; and the slain of the LORD shall be many. (Isa 66:16)

33 The slain of the LORD shall be from one end of the earth even to the other... (Jer 25:33)


C. Second, the Antichrist will use his unprecedented political, military and economic power to seek to destroy those refuse to worship him.

15 To cause as many as would not worship…the Beast to be killed. (Rev. 13:12, 15)

3 The man of sin (Antichrist) is revealed, the son of perdition (destruction) (2 Thes. 2:3)

27 On the wing of abominations shall be one (Antichrist) who makes desolate… (Dan. 9:27)
