The crazy old guys in the
cartoons who used to wear signs
saying "The End Is Nigh" were
right--the end of the world
is coming upon us.
In fact, the Bible describes the
end of the world in detail.
Hollywood always gets
it wrong--but we're
going to get it right.
Join us right now on Tomorrow's
World as we reveal how
the world will end.
♪
Greetings, and welcome to
Tomorrow's World--where we help
you make sense of your world
through the pages of the Bible.
And today, we're talking about
the end of that world.
An end that is coming upon
us much faster than
almost anyone believes.
We'll also be pausing
occasionally to allow you to
request one of our most exciting
free DVDs, "The Antichrist and
the Beast of Revelation."
Be sure to note the information
you need to get your free copy
of "The Antichrist and the Beast
of Revelation" when you see
it on your screen.
Meanwhile, we have a lot of
ground to cover and very little
time to cover it--so
let's get started.
The end of the world has
occupied the fancies and
fantasies of human
beings for ages.
Movies sometimes paint pictures
of asteroids striking our world
and wiping out all of humanity
like the dinosaurs of old, or
else sending earth off in a
blaze of glory as the militaries
of the world duke it out with
aliens from afar--or zombies or
intelligent machines or whatever
else is in vogue at the time.
In early 2022, director Roland
Emmerich, always looking for a
new way to destroy the world,
smashed the moon into us.
Even our science programming has
gotten into the act, with
quasi-documentaries detailing
how our vulnerable planet could
be wiped out by climate change,
disrupted by a passing black
hole, or eventually eaten
by our swollen sun.
But none of these things are
going to happen--at
least not exactly.
Let me be clear: When we speak
of "the end of the world,"
we're not talking about the
end of the planet.
God says through King Solomon
in Ecclesiastes...
No, God has plans for this
planet, as the Bible reveals.
Rather, we are speaking of the
end of the world as we know it.
The end of our world's
civilizations, societies,
economies, institutions,
and systems.
The end of this age in which we
now live, and the
destruction of everything
that we consider familiar.
That is what we mean by the
end of the world.
And today, we will discuss seven
ingredients to the end of the
world--some of which are
happening in the world right now
before our very eyes.
The first element of the world's
end we'll discuss would surprise
most of our Hollywood and
scientific doomsday planners,
since it is something that
rarely shows up on their radar.
It isn't an asteroid or a
physical threat, at all.
It is entirely spiritual.
The first ingredient of the end
of the world is:
Ultimately, any civilization
stands or falls in connection
to its relationship
with its Creator.
And the beginning of the
end of the world lies in
an utter abandonment
of that relationship.
We read of the conditions that
result from that rampant
immorality and godlessness
in the Apostle Paul's
second letter to Timothy.
In 2 Timothy chapter 3, starting
in verse 1, we read...
In Matthew 24 and verse 12,
Jesus Christ described this
element of the world's end,
as well, saying...
This "lawlessness" is not just
an abandoning of, say, traffic
laws, or tax laws--
but a pervasive spirit of
casting aside the laws of God.
And, frankly, we see that
growing today, don't we?
The morality and guidelines of
the Bible are increasingly cast
aside as archaic and
out-of-date--even as the world
grows all the colder, crueler,
and more loveless for it.
It is this moral and spiritual
dimension of the end of
the world that enables
all the others.
Yet, for all of our worries
concerning the environment, or
nuclear war, or health
regulations, it is our devotion
to God that goes neglected.
And it is our lack of devotion
to God that will initiate the
end of the world.
Before we continue,
let me pause to give
you an opportunity to request
today's free DVD,
"The Antichrist and the
Beast of Revelation."
This DVD contains
three of our most popular
Tomorrow's World telecasts,
laying out facts about these two
prophetic figures that will help
you identify them when they
appear on the world scene.
The first program, "Seven Signs
of the Antichrist," will take
you through seven distinct signs
that identify the infamous
Antichrist as he rises to power
in the world, whose influence is
already being felt today.
The second program, "The
Prophesied Beast," will lay out
for you specific details about
the political, economic,
military power known as the
Beast of Revelation that is
prophesied to dominate the world
in the days just ahead of us.
Finally, the third program will
reveal the meaning of the
mysterious number, six
hundred sixty-six,
that is so intimately tied to
the Beast of Revelation.
This DVD provides the keys you
need to understand and identify
these two powerful entities who
will dominate the future and
wield a dictatorial power over
all of mankind during the
days leading up to
the return of Jesus Christ.
As always on Tomorrow's World,
our materials are free, with no
strings attached.
No one will ask you for a
donation, because we
don't work that way.
In fact, Jesus Christ commands
us not to, telling his disciples
to make the truth available free
of charge to all who ask,
saying, "Freely you have
received, freely give."
Just call, write, or click for
your own copy of the free DVD,
"The Antichrist and the Beast of
Revelation," and I'll be right
back to explain how natural
disasters and the reordering of
world power we see happening
today in our newsfeeds

Welcome back.
We're looking at how the world
will end, and we noted in the
previous segment that the
triggering concern is not some
physical threat, like something
from deep in the earth or from
outer space--rather, it is
something from inside humanity,
itself: Our immorality
and godlessness.
The next ingredient to the
world's end is:
Of course, we live with these
concerns in our lives today.
Pestilence, or disease, has
plagued mankind from its
earliest days, and the
nightmarish years of
COVID-19--both the disease
itself and our governments'
fumbling attempts to deal with
it--will not be soon forgotten.
Famine has long ravaged various
populations of the earth,
sometimes due to weather or soil
conditions, but also due to
human cruelty or
incompetence--such as the
forced starvation of the
Ukrainians by the Soviet
government in the early 1930s
that killed millions.
And natural disasters
are ever with us.
The day I began working on this
program, my wife and I were at a
friend's house when news alerts
warned us of a potential
tornado, causing us to
quickly consider where we
might take shelter.
But the diseases, famines, and
natural disasters coming at the
end of the world will be unlike
anything humanity has ever seen.
Jesus Christ predicted these
events in His famous Olivet
Prophecy, as we see
in Matthew chapter 24,
beginning in verse 7...
We see reflected in His words
the vision He gave His servant
John in the book of Revelation.
There, in chapter 6, John
describes the third and fourth
of the famous Four Horsemen of
the Apocalypse--the rider on the
black horse, with scales in his
hand, picturing devastating
famine, and the rider on the
sickly, pale horse, whose name
was Death, picturing
unrelenting disease.
Verse 8 of Revelation 6 tells us
that these Four Horsemen,
together, have an
almost unbelievable
impact on humanity...
If the population of the earth
is around 8 billion people at
that time, then Christ inspired
John to write that these forces
would kill around two billion
people--one-fourth of mankind.
We are talking about devastation
on an unimaginable scale.
As the end of the world
advances, we will see another
ingredient added to the mix:
For now, most would agree that
the United States maintains a
grip on its position as the
most powerful nation in the
world--though that grip is
increasingly tenuous.
Great Britain remains a
relatively strong ally to the
U.S., as does Canada.
Europe struggles to remain
united to fulfill its leaders'
visions of greatness, China
strives to dominate its region
and seize superpower status, as
Russia pursues plans of its own.
Meanwhile the Middle East
remains a fractured collection
of individual states, often
sharing common enemies, but not
always a common purpose.
Yet the end of the world will
see all of these power
relationships reorganized
and reordered into
something far different.
Daniel 11 speaks of a King of
the North, which represents a
powerful and united European
entity--one we will come to
again later--and a King of the
South--a unified bloc of
nations in the Middle East
and North Africa.
Verse 44 of Daniel 11 points us
to a power bloc east of these,
and the book of Revelation
describes this eastern
power as possessing an
unimaginably vast army of
200 million men, as well
as weapons of mass destruction.
The conflict between these
end-time powerhouses is said in
Revelation 9:18 to be
responsible for killing
one-third of mankind--a toll no
war has ever taken throughout
the annals of time.
What you don't see among the
great powers at the end of the
world are the United States or
Great Britain and the nations
that descended from her.
Those nations will already have
fallen--their cities devastated,
and the survivors scattered
among the nations as captives
and servants, as described in
Ezekiel 5 and verse 12...
My colleague Gerald Weston has
covered this aspect of
Ezekiel's prophecy thoroughly
in our program
"Ezekiel's Message Unlocked."
I encourage you to
visit our website or YouTube
channel, where you can view that
powerful message and come to
understand the fate of the
United States, Great Britain,
and the English-speaking peoples
of the world.
Yet, in all these rearranged
political powers and alliances
of the world, the end of the
world will feature one
particular power that will tower
over all the others.
We'll cover that power next.
But before that,
let's take a second, a very
brief pause to give you another
opportunity to request your copy
of today's free DVD,
"The Antichrist and the
Beast of Revelation."
Many of the systems that these
two prophesied, end-time leaders
will use to wield power are
already in place.
And when you understand how to
recognize the arrival of the
Antichrist and the Beast, you
can't help but see in today's
headlines how all the pieces
they need are moving into place.
Containing three eye-opening
Tomorrow's World programs, this
DVD will show you:
The "Seven Signs of
the Antichrist"
How to recognize "The
Prophesied Beast"
And the real meaning
of "666???"
the number of the Beast.
Recognizing these two prophetic
individuals will be a matter of
life or death for many.
Let us show you how their
identities are revealed in the
pages of your own Bible.
Order your own free copy of
"The Antichrist and the
Beast of Revelation,"
And I'll be right
back to introduce the most
powerful political entity the
world will have ever seen.
Don't go away.
This clear and straight-forward
resource will help you
understand this vital truth--
straight from the
pages of the Bible.
Call now.
Or go to...
Welcome back.
In our last segment, we
discussed the rearrangement of
world power at the end of the
world, yet we said one
power would stand out.
That is the fourth element
we'll examine today:
This superpower is the entity
known in prophecy as the
Beast of Revelation.
This political, economic, and
military powerhouse will be
headed by a singular individual,
the Beast, and it will stand out
amongst all others in that day
in an astonishing way.
We read a description of
this man and the power he
wields in Revelation 13.
After describing the strange
creature he saw in
vision--providing details that
help to identify this entity in
world history, past and
future--John writes...
Now note: The whole world
follows this Beast, and the
military capacity of this
entity is like none
the world has ever seen.
Today's free DVD goes into much
more detail about this end-time
colossus than we have time for
on today's program, including
how you can see the seeds of
this powerhouse in the growing
pains of today's European Union.
For now, we will simply note
that this monstrous entity
does not play its role in
the world's end alone.
You'll notice that
Revelation 13 said that the
Beast was worshiped.
This worship is enabled and
enhanced by the next ingredient
of our "end of the
world" mixture:
Later, in verse 11 of Revelation
13, we see in John's vision a
second beast arising, different
than the first beast...
This second beast looks
like a lamb--that is,
he appears to be Christ-like.
Yet John says it "spoke like a
dragon"--that is, he teaches the
subtle twisted truths of
Satan the Devil.
This False Prophet is the
infamous Antichrist, foretold in
numerous passages of the Bible.
He will come working miracles
and wonders and the false
Christianity that he preaches
will dominate world religions
and provide support for the
European Beast of Revelation.
Together, these two will form an
unholy alliance of Church and
State and will persecute the
small flock of true
saints of Jesus Christ.
Again, today's free DVD contains
more than an hour's worth of
information about these two
individuals, the systems they
will control, and how to
recognize them when they appear.
Suffice it to say for now that
the actions they stir upon the
earth lead humanity to the brink
of utter destruction--to the
potential destruction of all
life on earth.
As Jesus Christ Himself
describes this time...
Yet, those days
will be shortened.
They will be interrupted by
the next element of the end
of this world:
The sins of mankind will have
reached their fullness,
and God will declare that
He has had enough.
The announcement of the
Almighty's intervention in world
affairs is described
in Revelation 6,
beginning in verse 12...
This begins a year-long period
of divine intervention known as
the Day of the Lord--when the
powers of this earth learn where
real power truly lies.
My friends, there is
only one more element left
in the Bible's tale
of the end of the world--and
it's the one that makes
all the trials and
tribulations worth it.
Before we describe that final
element, let me pause one more
time to let you request your
free copy of our DVD
"The Antichrist and
the Beast of Revelation."
Most of the world
ignores the prophecies about
these two individuals, and most
of those who do read them
can't understand them.
This free DVD, "The Antichrist
and the Beast of Revelation,"
will reveal the meaning of those
prophecies and make them plain.
Everything you need to
understand about the Antichrist,
the Beast of Revelation, and
the mysterious number of the
Beast is laid out for you on
this one free DVD.
We are living in prophetic times
dominated by prophetic
forces and hurtling
toward prophesied ends.
These two terrifying
individuals are coming.
And this DVD will empower you to
recognize them when they arrive.
Order your copy now, and I'll be
right back to explain the final,
glorious stage of the end of
the world that makes the
rest worthwhile.

Welcome back.
Well, it has been quite a ride.
We have been through cataclysmic
moral degradation; experienced
unprecedented natural disasters;
and witnessed the rearrangement
of world powers.
We've seen that one power will
rise above the rest, and that
this power, in conjunction with
a false global religion claiming
the name of Jesus Christ, will
seek to destroy those who bear
His name truly as they
seek to worship Him in
spirit and in truth.
And we've seen the Creator of
all things step into history to
put the powers of the world in
their place and to send His Son
Jesus Christ back to earth to
set things right.
And amidst the rubble of all
that had gone before, we finally
come to the last ingredient
in the end of the world as
we know it:
[to take its place]
Once Jesus Christ and His
heavenly armies have rid the
world of the Beast power, the
Antichrist, and all the worldly
forces who foolishly sought to
oppose Him, He will send
His angel to lock
Satan the Devil away from
mankind for 1,000 years.
Then, Revelation 20 and verse 4
tells us that, in his vision,
the Apostle John saw...
Yes, the resurrected martyrs,
and all who have lived and died
in Jesus Christ before His
return will be resurrected,
joining those who are alive at
His return to rule by His side
in power, glory, and majesty.
This period of 1,000 years will
be a time when the Kingdom of
God will reign on earth,
beginning in Jerusalem and
spreading over the entire earth,
utterly replacing every element
of the old world with the joys
and glories of the new.
The saints, together with Jesus
Christ, will work to make this
world what it should have been
all along: A place of beauty,
peace, order, and love.
The ultimate cause of that new
world is described in Isaiah 11
and verse 9...
As the true knowledge of the way
of God grows to cover the world
over 1,000 years, the world as
we have known it so far will
truly have come to an end.
And a brand new world will have
begun--a world with joys and
wonders that will last not just
for a time, but for eternity.
There are more details in the
Bible concerning the new world
that comes after the Millennium,
but we'll have to save
those for another time.
Until then, thank you for
joining me on this trip to--and
through--the end of the world.
While the idea of the end of the
world might seem
frightening--that end is
truly the only real hope
the world has.
Please don't forget to request
today's free offer,
"The Antichrist and the
Beast of Revelation."
and don't forget to
come back next time.
My fellow presenters, Gerald
Weston, Richard Ames, Rod
McNair, and I will be right here
waiting for you, ready to dive
with you into God's word to

end times and the Kingdom of God
and the life-altering teachings
of Jesus Christ and your Bible.
