Notice in the article posted that the Fourth Reich would not be a military rule, but an economic rule: “with incredible foresight, they decided together that the Fourth German Reich, unlike its predecessor, would be an economic rather than a military empire - but not just German.”
Here’s the correlation between that comment and the prophecies in Revelation 13:
16. And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
17. And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
This means more than just going to the local shop for your newspaper, it will be joined to everything you need, water, electricity, food, medical provisions. Don’t forget Satan wants you to take this mark because he knows as soon as you do you are doomed, no questions or changing your mind afterward. It will be hard to last 3 months let alone 3 years without food or water, and if you want to scavenge, don’t forget the plagues that are to come which will wipe out harvests and water supplies.
The Mark of the Beast? Think it’s fantasy?

And the fate of those that take the Mark of the Beast?
“If anyone worships the beast and his image, and receives his mark on his forehead or on his hand, he himself shall also drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out full strength into the cup of His indignation. He shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb. And the smoke of their torment ascends forever and ever; and they have no rest day or night, who worship the beast and his image, and whoever receives the mark of his name.” Revelation 14:9-11
The “rapture” doctrine is pure hokum, created out of a fringe movement of the Plymouth Brethren in the 19th Century by John Nelson Darby, codified and systematized by C.I. Scofield, and promulgated by Dwight L. Moody, with the Dallas Theological Seminary sitting as the Sanhedrin. It is not part of historical, orthodox Christian teaching.
