4And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him? 5And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.
6And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.
7And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations(Revelation 13:4-7).
All the people of the world worships the antichrist,and they say who can make war with him,which would mean the antichrist has control in the world,which God gives him this control for three and one half years.
1Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee.
2For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city.
3Then shall the LORD go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle(Zechariah 14:1-3).
God is going to gather all nations together against Jerusalem and the antichrist will rule over the nations,who is the 8th king of Revelation.
In Daniel chapter 11 it shows the antichrist warring physically for power,and some countries escape him,but in chapter 12 it shows trouble like never before,which means the antichrist has control of the world.
