You must have a different bible than me.....
I’m thinking of stuff like Matthew 24:21. Also, Revelation talks about the Beast reigning until the Lord comes to put him in his place.
That’s the kind of thing I’m talking about. I believe it will get worse before it gets better, though we will have “respites” between battles.
We are in one of those Respites right now. At least, a lot of us are.
And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given to him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.
Revelation 13:7
Which version are you familiar with?
