3One of the heads of the beast appeared to have been mortally wounded. But the mortal wound was healed, and the whole world marveled and followed the beast. 4They worshiped the dragon who had given authority to the beast, and they worshiped the beast, saying, “Who is like the beast, and who can wage war against it?”

5The beast was given a mouth to speak arrogant and blasphemous words, and authority to act for 42 months. 6And the beast opened its mouth to speak blasphemies against God and to slander His name and His tabernacle—those who dwell in heaven.

7Then the beast was permitted to wage war against the saints and to conquer them, and it was given authority over every tribe and people and tongue and nation.

- Book of Revelations chapter 13, verse 3-7

Now, I’m not saying that Saint John received divine inspiration. I’m saying that the well-known and well-funded US-based Christian death cult that wants to make the Rapture happen as soon as possible by meeting the conditions of the End Times might be happy to see things going according to (their reading of the) plan.
