The Great End-Time Conflict: Two Global Worship Movements
I. THE TWO END-TIME WORSHIP MOVEMENTS: UNDERSTANDING THE CONFLICT
A. The great conflict at the end-of-the-age will be between two Houses of Prayer or between two global worship
movements. The Holy Spirit is raising up the most powerful prayer and worship movement in history (Revelation 22:17;
5:8; 8:4; Luke 18:7-8; Matthew 25:1-13; Isaiah 62:6-7; 24:14-16; 25:9; 26:8-9; 27:2-5, 13; 30:18-19; 42:10-13; 43:26;
51:11; 52:8; Joel 2:12-17, 32; Jeremiah 31:7; Micah 5:3-4; Zephaniah 2:1-3; Psalm 102:17-20; 122:6; Zechariah 12:10,
etc.). It will be the Church’s “first line of defense” against the Antichrist’s worship movement and his persecutions.
B. Satan will raise up a worship (and prayer) movement in which he and the Antichrist will be worshipped and
obeyed by several billion people (Revelation 13:4, 8, 12, 15). This worship movement will cause the people in the
kingdom of darkness to have a deep heart connect with Satan. This will be the most power, passionate and dangerous
time in world history.
8 All who dwell on the earth will worship him (Antichrist), whose names have not been written in the Book of Life of the
Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. (Revelation 13:8)
C. The Holy Spirit’s worship movement will reach a great crescendo just prior to Jesus’ Second Coming as the Spirit
and the Bride cry out for Jesus to come to establish His Kingdom.
17 The Spirit and the Bride say, "Come!"…20 He (Jesus) who testifies to these things says, "Surely I am coming
quickly." Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus! (Revelation 22:17, 20)
1). “Jesus, Come near us (intimacy)”
2). “Jesus, Come to us (revival)”
3). “Jesus, Come for us (Second Coming)”
D. As we cry out to Jesus to come for us, we are interceding for the Millennial Kingdom to come. The Millennial
Kingdom is one of the major revelations of Scripture. The kingdom is ‘already here’ (in a limited expression) but is ‘not
yet’ fully here until Jesus returns.
10 Your kingdom come. Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. (Matthew 6:10)
E. The Millennium is a 1,000-year period in which Jesus will rule the whole world from Jerusalem in righteousness
and peace. At this time the Kingdom of God will be openly manifest worldwide affecting every sphere of life (political,
social, agricultural, economic, spiritual, educational, law enforcement, media, arts, technology, environment, social
institutions, etc.). Isaiah 2:1-4; 9:6-9; 11:1-16; 60-62; 65:17-25; Psalm 2; 110; Matthew 5:5; 6:10; 17:11; 19:28; 28:19;
Acts 1:6; 3:21).
4 I saw thrones, and they (saints) sat on them…They lived and reigned with Christ for 1000 years…6 They shall reign
with Him 1000 years. (Revelation 20:4-6)
F. The kings of the earth will be saved and worship Jesus (Psalm 72:11; 102:15; 138:4; 148:11; Isaiah 62:2;
Revelation 21:24) and base their national governments on God’s Word.
11 All kings shall fall down before Him; all nations shall serve Him. (Psalm 72:11)
II. THE GENERATION THE LORD RETURNS: THE GREATEST AMOUNT OF PRAYER
A. When we add one billion believers (currently on earth) to one billion new converts there will more of God’s
people on earth than in heaven. In light of this, there may be more prayer for the release of the Kingdom on earth in
the final years of natural history than all history combined.
B. The End-Time worship movement will be lead by prophetic music and songs.
10 Sing to the LORD a new song, and His praise from the ends of the earth, You who go down to the sea…you
coastlands…11 Let the wilderness and its cities lift up their voice, the villages…12 Let them…declare His praise
in the coastlands. 13 The LORD shall go forth (Second Coming) like a mighty man; He shall stir up His zeal like a man
of war. He shall cry out, yes, shout aloud; He shall prevail against His enemies. 14 "I have held My peace…I have
been still and restrained Myself. Now I will cry like a woman in labor, I will pant and gasp at once. 15 I will lay waste
the mountains and hill (End-Time judgments)…” (Isaiah 42:10-15)
16 The Lord will descend from heaven with a shout…and with the trumpet of God…17 We who are alive…shall be
caught up together with them in the clouds… (1 Thessalonians 4:16-17)
C. God’s End-Time judgments will be released by the songs of the redeemed.
6 Let the high praises of God be in their mouth…7 to execute vengeance on the nations…9 To execute on them the
written judgment-- This honor have all His saints. (Psalm 149:6-9)
D. Zion will be in travail (intercession) at the end-of-the-age.
8 Who has heard such a thing? Who has seen such things? Shall the earth be made to give birth in one day? Or shall
a nation be born at once? For as soon as Zion was in labor, she gave birth to her children. (Isaiah 66:8)
3 He shall give them (Israel) up, until the time that she who is in labor (End-Time Church) has given birth; Then the
remnant of His brethren shall return to the children of Israel. (Micah 5:3)
19 My children, for whom I labor in birth again until Christ is formed in you… (Galatians 4:19)
III. THE HOLY SPIRIT WILL FLOW THROUGH PROPHETIC SINGERS AND MUSICIANS
A. When David played prophetic music before King Saul, demonic oppression lifted off him.
15 Saul's servants said, "A distressing spirit…is troubling you. 16 Let our master command your servants…to seek
out a man who is a skillful player on the harp; and it shall be that he will play it…when the distressing spirit…is upon
you, and you shall be well." Whenever the spirit…was upon Saul, that David would take a harp and play it…Saul would
become refreshed and well, and the distressing spirit would depart from him. (1 Samuel 16:15-23)
B. Elisha requested a musician to play when he was asked to prophesy to the king of Israel.
15 “Now bring me a musician." Then it happened, when the musician played, that the hand of the LORD came upon him.
(2 Kings 3:15)
IV. THE ANTICHRIST WILL SEEK TO DIVERT THE TRUE WORSHIP MOVEMENT
A. There will be a great war in the spirit realm over who will be worshipped or who will possess the passion of the
human heart. It is a war for our hearts. We can only win this war by walking in wholehearted love for God as we have
revelation about our identity in God. Therefore, the enemy is waging this war by attacking our heart and spiritual identity.
B. The Antichrist will seek to divert this worship and prayer movement by raising up a false one.
8 All who dwell on the earth will worship him (Antichrist)…whose names have not been written in the Book of Life of the
Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. (Revelation 13:8)
C. Satan will use “false prophetic” preaching that will be confirmed with false signs and wonders to raise up his “prophetic”
worship and prayer movement.
9 The coming of the lawless one (Antichrist) is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying
wonders, 10 and with all unrighteous deception... (2 Thessalonians 2:9-10)
24 For false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the
elect. (Matthew 24:24)
D. Angels of light will appear in the massive worship festivals attended by millions. Lucifer was the chief musician
in the courts of God before he fell. He knows how to use music powerfully.
13 You were in Eden, the garden of God…the workmanship of your timbrels and pipes was prepared for you on the day
you were created. 14 You were the anointed cherub…I established you; you were on the holy mountain of God; you
walked back and forth in the midst of fiery stones. 15 You were perfect in your ways from the day you were created, till
iniquity was found in you…16 Therefore I cast you as a profane thing out of the mountain of God; I destroyed you,
O covering cherub, from the midst of the fiery stones. 17 Your heart was lifted up because of your beauty; you
corrupted your wisdom for the sake of your splendor; I cast you to the ground…18 You defiled your sanctuaries by
the multitude of your iniquities. (Ezekiel 28:13-18)
E. The False Prophet will perform great signs (plural) that will be great in power as well as great in significance
and deception (Revelation 16:14; 19:20; 13:14; Matthew 24:11, 24; Mark 13:22; 2 Thessalonians 2:9). The great
miracles will probably often occur in the large Antichrist worship events.
12 And he (False Prophet) exercises all the authority of the first beast (Antichrist), and causes the earth… to worship
the first beast (Antichrist)…13 He performs great signs, so that he even makes fire come down from heaven on the
earth in the sight of men. (Revelation 13:12-13)
F. The False Prophet’s primary goal is to raise up a worldwide worship movement in which Satan and the Antichrist
are worshipped (Revelation 13:4, 8, 12, 15). The music and the lyrics will cause the multitudes to weep and be deeply
moved so that they will follow the Antichrist even unto death.
G. The Antichrist, the False Prophet and their followers will be fully committed to this false worship movement.
Jesus, the Holy Spirit and the End-Time Church will be even more committed to the true worship movement. It is the
wisdom of God to give ourselves to this.
V. THE FALSE GLOBAL WORSHIP AND PRAYER MOVEMENT
A. The False Prophet’s commitment is to raise up a global worship and prayer movement.
15 He (False Prophet) was granted power to give breath to the image of the beast…to cause as many as would not
worship the image…to be killed. 16 He causes all…rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right
hand or on their foreheads, 17 and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark… (Revelation 13:15-17)
B. The False Prophet will call down fire as a counterfeit Elijah who called fire down from heaven in his “clash of
power” with the prophets of Baal (1 Kings 18:38; 2 Kings 1:10-12). The False Prophet will have a clash of power with
the Two Witnesses who will call fire from heaven (Revelation 11:5).
C. The image of the Beast and the mark of the Beast will be two components that will mobilize and finance the
Antichrist’s global worship movement. The image of the Beast will mobilize Antichrist’s worshippers and penalize those
who resist. The mark of the Beast will provide economic support for the Antichrist’s worship movement and will penalize
those who resist.
D. The image of the Beast will be an idol of the Antichrist that will combine cutting edge technology and
supernatural demonic elements causing this image to breathe and speak. The image may be a high-tech hologram
that looks and sounds like the Antichrist.
E. I believe that local leaders will have a duplicate image of the Antichrist that will be demonically and
technologically connected to the “primary” image in Jerusalem. The result will be a global network of local “Antichrist
worship sanctuaries” that may include a hologram of the Antichrist.
F. A global network of local “Antichrist worship sanctuaries” that prophesy. These demonic local outposts will be
the focal points of spiritual warfare as the true houses of prayer fill the earth.
G. The worship that Satan wanted from Jesus is what he demands from the whole earth. Satan offered Jesus the
political authority over all the kingdoms of the earth if He would worship him.
8 The devil…showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. And he said to Him, "All these things I will give
You if You will fall down and worship me." (Matthew 4:8-9)
H. The Antichrist will demand to be worshipped before an idol as Nebuchadnezzar did (Daniel 3:1-6). Daniel
revealed Nebuchadnezzar’s dream (Daniel 2:19, 26-28).
1 Nebuchadnezzar…made an image of gold, whose height was sixty cubits (90 feet) and its width six cubits (9 feet)…
4 Then a herald cried aloud, "…You shall… worship the gold image …6 whoever does not fall down and worship shall
be cast into…fiery furnace." (Daniel 3:1-6)
