Ron Wallace discusses that future time when there will be severe affliction and hardship unleashed upon the world by the evil personage the Bible calls the "Beast".

This affliction and hardship will be directed upon anyone who chooses not to worship the Beast. However, for those who do choose to worship him, they will be able to participate in a vast and technical economic system that will ensure, for them, an experience of peace and security.

However, because of this security, these beast-worshippers will be shocked and traumatized when Jesus appears in the clouds of the sky with power and great glory. Their peace and security will be suddenly interrupted, as they must then face the impending wrath of God and the judgments of the trumpets and bowls.
