1. The world ruler overtly declaring himself?
2. The Mark of The Beast required for every financial transaction?
3. The 3rd Temple rebuilt?

5. The North American Union?
6. The Gospel being published to every language group?
7. The rise of the False Prophet with dramatic miracles accompanying?
8. The TWO WITNESSES calling fire down from Heaven routinely?
9. The TWO WITNESSES bodies lying in Jerusalem for 3 days in view of the world?
10. The image being brought to 'life' speaking etc. ?
11. The Resurrected Anti-Christ after his mortal wound?

Well, I don't believe most of those things must happen. And if they do, they can be altered or reversed. Such is the power of God and the strength of the Holy Spirit in men's lives.
