FINAL WARNING: Setting the Stage for Destruction

sin” takes place.The three things that have to happen before Christ’s return is that the
Gospel has to be presented to the entire world (which quite possibly
has been fulfilled), there must be a “falling away,” (which has not
occurred yet), and the “abomination of desolation,” which is when the
Antichrist will reveal himself as the Messiah in the Temple. Then the
