The Bible foretells a time when a powerful and charismatic global leader will rise to dominance, demanding absolute loyalty (mark of the beast) and ruling with unchecked authority. Known as the Antichrist, this figure will captivate the world with promises of peace and progress–only to lead many into deception and destruction (2 Thessalonians 2:3-4). While such a scenario may have once seemed distant, recent polling suggests that Generation Z is already primed to accept a leader who bypasses democracy and rules by decree.
