I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the Word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
–Revelation 20:4 (KJV)–

Bow down
To the greatest corrupter
The second coming
Of the Antichrist on Earth
Live with a curse
Kill in the name of god
The devil’s won

Knife in the back
We ignored the truth
Rise above, rise above
Rise above, rise above
Can you see through the veil that covers you?
Rise above, rise above
Rise above, rise above

Evil in place of power

Awoke by a thief
In the night of retribution
Pandemic welcoming
Of your final solution
We are cursed
An idol to be your god
The devil’s won

–Soulfly, “Evil Empowered”–

While I will always maintain the view of a post-tribulation rapture (based on 2 Thessalonians 2:1-4 and Matthew 24:21-42), I still think that both Left Behind II: Tribulation Force and Megiddo: The Omega Code 2, accurately depict the personal Antichrist and his persecution of the Church in the last days. Although you could say that The Omen films are more of a post-tribulation film franchise in the traditional Catholic sense, they are so worldly in that they capitalize on freak accidents and horrible death scenes. They’ve also got this unbiblical idea that the devil’s child should be stabbed to death with exorcist knives, which is a plan that always fails, and results in more freak accidents. So in Left Behind II and Megiddo, you won’t find a man’s head decapitated by a flying piece of glass, a woman’s eyes pecked out by a demonic raven, a scientist split in half by an elevator cable, or the claim that Damien was born from a jackal in a satanic ritual, but what you will find is a clean cut depiction of the Great Tribulation, without the gratuitous violence and occasional profanity that you’d get in The Omen movies. –J.B.
