Revelation 13:9,10

9  If any man have an ear, let him hear.

10  He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.

In those days, anyone who leads people to take the Beast forces captive shall themselves be made captives and anyone who takes up arms against the Beast forces will themselves be killed. God is clearly saying that this is not the time for anyone to take up rebellion against the Satan possessed Antichrist and his angels. This being will be all powerful on the earth and only Jesus at his coming will have the power to deliver the earth. The Antichrist will make short work of any tribulation militia forces who think they can war against the world Beast government. Those prone to thinking they can form a militia against this world government fail to realize that his force is supernatural and that scripture indicates he will have almost absolute power on the earth for these 3 ½ years.

Even most prophecy teachers fail to grasp the extent of the Beast’s power and it is reflected in their simplistic writings about end time events. Many teachers try to explain all of what will happen as a result of man’s own wars and the follow up catastrophes that result from those wars. They simply leave no room for the supernatural from God or from Satan! There will be two prophets from God with supernatural powers that will torment unbelievers on the earth for 3 ½ years in the first period and in this second 3 ½ year period Satan himself will have power to act as if he were God. No one can really conceive how the supernatural will control events on the earth during these periods.
