A prominent 20th century leader said: "What we want is a man of sufficient stature to hold the alle-giance of all people, and to lift us out of the economic morass into which we are sinking. Send us such a man, and be he god or devil, we will receive him." But how can you know if a dynamic leader is from God or from the devil? How can you know if you should follow or flee? In a world of competing voic-es and perspectives, how can you know who to listen to and who to ignore?

Revelation chapter 13 is intended to help Christians know who they can trust in, which leaders they should align themselves with and which prophets or PR spokespersons to believe. This Sunday we'll learn about governments and propaganda, both during the Tribulation and today.
