What Is the One‑World Religion?

In the fourth sign of his series on Christ’s return, Dr. Erwin Lutzer turns to Revelation 17. He reads the woman, the beast, and the ten horns as symbols of a future system that will replace God with idolatry, technology‑driven worship, and moral decay.

How Does Sexuality Signal the End‑Times?

Dr. Lutzer links the passage’s description of the "great prostitute" to contemporary issues of pornography, the erosion of marriage, and the rise of self‑worship. He asks whether the cultural shift toward bodily desire and the blurring of sexual boundaries foreshadows the one‑world religion he sees in the text.

What Does Brutality Tell Us About the Antichrist’s Plan?

He points to the "blood of the saints" in verse 6 as a reminder of past persecution and a hint of future brutality. The speaker connects this to the Antichrist’s use of the beast to enforce worship and to eliminate those whose names are not written in the Book of Life.

'I saw that the woman was drunk with the blood of the saints, the blood of those who bore testimony to Jesus.'

Through these images, Dr. Lutzer invites listeners to consider how the prophetic picture of Revelation 17 warns of a world that will blend technology, sexuality, and power into a single, oppressive system.
