Although the Antichrist will muster awesome political, military, economic and religious power during his reign on earth, he will never be able to force true Christians into subservience to him. He will succeed in killing the saints, but he won’t gain their worship if they prefer to remain true to Jesus. During this dark hour the Lord will empower His witnesses to resist the Antichrist and remain faithful unto death: “And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death" (Rev. 12:11).
Ingawa mpinga Krsisto atakuwa na uwezo mkubwa sana kisiasa, kijeshi, kiuchumi na hata kidini, hataweza kuwafanya wakristo wa kweli wawe wamuinamie. Atawaua wengi, lakini hataweza kuwafanya wampigie magoti kama Mungu ikiwa wataweka imani yao katika Kristo. Ni katika saa hii ya giza kuu Mungu atawapa wanawe uwezo maalum wa kumkabidhi muovu (Ufu.12:11).
