apocalypse, resulting in the era known as the End Times - which in turn would lead to the battle of Armageddon and ultimately the Day Of Judgement.
The Unholy Trinity comprises of the Beast, the Antichrist and Satan - a blasphemous version of the tradition "Father, Son and Holy Spirit" found in some Christian sects.
In The Book of Revelations, the Beast starts the End Battle by converting humans to his ways, and freeing the trapped angels, and then the Antichrist moves among humans as one of them. The Antichrist and the Beast together free Satan, and all three have an empire which lasts over a thousand years. In that time the Moon turns to blood and stars fall. In the final days of the reign, God defeats the Behemoth, the Beast and the evil angels. The Antichrist is fought and bound by Jesus and the Devil, Satan, is bound by God and Jesus and thrown into the Lake of Fire along with the Antichrist.
