Exorcist Priest: Antichrist Will Rise as Solution to Global Crisis

Catholic exorcist Fr. Chad Ripperger warned in a lengthy interview that the conditions for the Antichrist's rise are nearly in place, describing how he will seize control through a unified global economy and digital currency system that cuts dissenters off from goods and services. This aligns directly with biblical prophecy describing a coming world ruler who will exercise total economic and political control over humanity in the last days. Revelation 13:17 warns that no one will be able to buy or sell without the mark of the Beast, and 2 Thessalonians 2:8 confirms Christ Himself will destroy this figure at His return.
