THE WORLD’S FINAL CALL (102 pages) by Archimandrite Vassilios Bakoyiannis

“The arrival of the beast is directly linked to Christ’s Second Coming (...). 
The fact that no one knows when Christ’s Second Coming will take place, means the same is true of the beast’s arrival. Even the beast himself does not know when he is to appear” (p. 39).

“The Apostle Paul says: “so that he (the beast) sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God” (2 Thes. 2:4). Which temple is the Apostle Paul referring to? (…) His headquarters may be in Rome, the former capital of the Roman Empire, or in Constantinople, the former capital of the Byzantine Empire. To conclude, we are unaware of which city the beast will choose to establish his control centre” (p. 49-50).

“The number 666 will not be placed on people’s foreheads or hands because this number uncovers or reveals the identity of the beast” (...) “And the fact that the mark will be given by the beast during the second stage of his reign means “now, before the arrival of the second stage of the beast’s revelation, its seal doesn’t exist” (p. 66-68).

“Then the world will be divided in two: Those who worship the beast and accept his “mark” and those who remain Christians” (...).“Christians will be the most despised beings on the earth. They will not dare walk in the streets! They will be mocked! People will refuse to give them food and they will be delivered to justice to be sentenced to death. “But he who endures to the end shall be saved” (Mt. 24:13) (p. 75-76).

“Gold is purified by being subjected to fire, so will all the universe. It will be purified with fire from all the infection that was inflicted upon creation just after Adam’s fall, the Angel’s fall and the beast’s presence. That is, the whole universe will be annihilated by fire so that a new universe will be born” (p. 86).

“The Apostle Peter says that “look for new heavensand a new earth in which righteousness dwells” (2 Pet. 3:13). Therefore, the Apostle suggests that on earth righteousness will reign, gloryfing the Lord. Which means that this "cohabitation" of Christ and righteousness (=Paradise) will be on the new earth! Who knows? “Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth” (Mt. 5:5), Jesus said. (p. 89-90).

“In fact, humankind will be expecting unique and unprecedented things. And this is precisely the “objective” of our book. Hopefully, it will enlighten us and bring us closer to Christ. Amen.” (p. 7).
