The American Pastors Network’s Sam Rohrer appeared on TheDove TV’s “Focus Today” program this morning, where he and host Perry Atkinson asserted that “the lack of respect” being shown toward President Trump is a sign of lawlessness that is a precursor to the rise of the Antichrist.

Atkinson said that there are forces in the culture and the media that are intentionally sowing disorder, lawlessness and chaos, which Rohrer said is proof that “the Battle of the Ages is unfolding before our very eyes.”

“Lawlessness is what the devil, Satan, is attempting to create,” Rohrer said, explaining that the “enemies of Christ”—by which he meant globalists, Islam, and the cultural “establishment”—are “all working together” because “they hate God, they hate the Constitution, they despise Jesus Christ, they want to destroy Israel and the United States and they are using chaos and division as their way of creating the circumstances … out of which will come the Antichrist.”

“These things that we’re seeing are preparatory for the emerging of the Antichrist,” he said. “We have to understand that what we are seeing has been foretold, it is exactly what the Bible is talking about will happen, is happening and we need to, as God’s people, be taking advantage of this time and pointing people to Jesus Christ, understanding the Battle of the Ages is unfolding before our very eyes.”
