Revelation of John 13:7

7 And it was given to him to make war with the saints and to overcome them. And authority was given to him over every tribe and people and language and nation. ^{▼▼13:7The Antichrist is permitted to use the force of war and battles and weapons to conquer the Church, forbidding the practice of Christianity (and of Judaism, and of Islam) under pain of death. He succeeds in conquering the world by force of arms, but he does not win over their hearts and minds. Even many wicked persons resent the Antichrist and follow him only unwillingly. There are constant attempted rebellions against him.(Conte)}
