With the global economic dilemma as such, Revelation and end times begin to mirror our society. The judgments of Revelation can not happen until there is a one-world government. Because of the indebtedness of most countries today, the prospects for a one-world government looms large on the horizon.
Revelation 6:1, 2, gives a vivid picture of this world leader. He comes onto the scene looking like Jesus. He rides a white horse, has a crown on his head and he carries a bow with which to conquer.
In Revelation 19:11-16, another rider on a white horse rides out of open doors in heaven. There’s no comparison to the two. The first rider is a cheap imitation of our Lord who rides out of heaven in chapter 19. Satan always tries to duplicate God’s programs, but in the end it will be Jesus who wins.
However, in chapter 6, this rider comes onto the world scene and conquers the whole world. Primarily, he does so through diplomacy and the ability to solve the world’s economic woes.
One way he will repair the economic situation of the world is with drugs. Revelation 18:23 asks the question of the political and economic Babylon , “How were you able to deceive the whole world?” Then the writer answers, “. . .through your sorceries. . .”
The Greek word for “sorceries” is pharmakos, and we get our word pharmacy from this Greek word. Therefore, the anti-christ’s economic system worked through the buying and selling and using of drugs—illegal or legal ones.
