But would an evil king give great power and authority to someone who might compete with his majesty? The false prophet will never have had the status of a king. And he will dress casually so as not to seem to attract honor to himself and away from his king. But what do they have to offer mankind? They care nothing for obtaining eternal life. They only want to be satisfied with glory, honor, pleasure, and pride. They are so deceived by the lure of riches and of fame that they think you are crazy if you do not want the same. They will think you're a threat to the whole human race if you do not support their efforts of financial gain. And in the desperate nature of those days, they will not believe that there is any time to waste. If you do not conform to their ways, they will put you in jail or you will be slain. For the false prophet will be so zealous for his king that he will not tolerate any opposition from any man on the street. Because of the distress that will occur at that time, they will not want there to be any question where your loyalties lie. If you submit to his regime and obey, then they will tattoo this evil king's name on your right hand or on the top of your face. But if you do not comply with their evil ways, then they are determined to kill you and erase your name. They will destroy all the church buildings of the Lamb that was slain. And instead they will honor something profane. They honor this king and accept his name because they only want wealth and riches and all that is vain. With gold and silver they honor this man. And they idolize him with the wealth that they have. So this false prophet will make a statue of him. And they will bow down to it when it is set in its stand. For all they care about is material gain, and so they worship what their hands have made.
