American seer Reverend Brandon Biggs says Lord Jesus Christ (vegetarian) visited him on July 6, 2014, revealing visions of future events after the rapture [rise to Heaven] of Christ’s followers. He saw global chaos, with people believing aliens took the missing. A charismatic leader, dubbed the anti-Christ, rises in Berlin [Germany], unites world powers, and enforces a brain chip-based currency and worship system. The chip, which leaves a “mark of the beast” on the hand or forehead, erases free will. Christians left behind due to inadequate faith endure persecution, hiding in harsh conditions and facing death if they refuse the mark. Bibles are banned, surveillance is widespread, and the anti-Christ declares himself God in a rebuilt Jerusalem temple. Despite this, Brandon sees a pre-rapture revival, especially in Asia, marked by miracles, angelic visitations, and spiritual awakening. He urges immediate repentance and a life of genuine God-connection to secure salvation (Last Days)
