During the tribulation the world will have one government. It is predicted two world leaders will rule the world. The main leader will be the beast or the Antichrist, while the other will be the false prophet. Some say that the false prophet will have the power to perform miracles, similar to the ones performed by Jesus Christ. The false prophet will attempt to get people to worship the beast. The focus will be to get everyone to get a satanic mark on their right hand or forehead in order to buy or sell. This is called the Mark of the Beast. God warns us if we take the Mark of the Beast, we will be under the control of Satan and destined for hell.

The one world government will probably look like a good idea, probably because of some global crisis. The Antichrist and the false prophet will deceive people into thinking they are good. They are able to gain control, probably because the world is in desperate need of peace, which the Antichrist will pretend to give. They will get people to sign a treaty allowing them to reign for seven years. This is an agreement of false peace. This will happen at the start of the seven year tribulation. In the middle of the tribulation, 1260 days after the agreement was signed, the Beast will break the agreement, enter his temple, and claim to be God and begin blaspheming against God.

At the end of the tribulation the battle of Armageddon will occur. Jesus will battle the two Antichrists, defeat them, and then take them to Hell. Jesus will then restore his kingdom here on earth.
