As years pass by, the "Antichrist Beast System" is slowly "emerging" upon us and around us. But are the true followers of Christ seeing the signs? Sadly, the answer is no. The Bible clearly explains the signs that are to appear on Earth before the Second Coming of the Messiah (Yahusha HaMashiach). In the Book of Matthew, the first thing Christ said to his disciples when they asked for the "sign" of his second coming and the "end of the world" was......"LET NO MAN DECEIVE YOU". In today's world, technology, music, TV programming, religious false doctrines, sexual perversions and convenience seem to be keeping the "Masses" in a state of slumber. This is what Satan wants. For people to be like "Sheeple", easy to capture, easy to "fatten up" and when the time is right, easy to be led to the slaughter. But there is a remnant of the "True Followers" of the Messiah that are waking up. These are the people who seek to endure to the end, worshipping God in "Spirit" and "Truth". But in order for
