The second three and half year period is the time of trouble, the great tribulation. Prior to this, the true believers are caught up to meet the Lord in the air. His doom is sure. Daniel 7:10, 22, 26 records the judgment rendered which says that the beast will be put into the eternal fire.He will have no regard for the desire of women (Daniel 11:37), which could mean that he is homosexual, that he kills children and women without remorse, that he is repressive toward women, or that he is celibate. His god is war, and as such, men are more valuable than women because they are stronger fighters (v.He will be accompanied by a false prophet who will propagate the false religion and evil empire. He will cause all people to get a mark on their right hand or forehead in order to be able to buy or sell. His number is 666. He will force people to worship the beast and the images of the beast, both of which have power to rain fire on those who refuse (Revelation 13:13-17).


He wages war with the saints and overpowers them (Daniel 7:21) but only “until the Ancient of Days comes” (Daniel 7:22).
