The Book of Revelation lays out what the future holds for the faithful. It says:
 Revelation 13:
​
1 And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.
 2 And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.
 3 And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.
 4 And 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?
 5 And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.
 6 And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.
 7 And 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.
 8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are NOT written in the book of life of theLamb slain from the foundation of the world.
 9 If any man have an ear, let him hear.
 10 He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.
Apostle David A. Bednar speaks Dec 2015
about the extreme trial of faith the ancient saints in America had when their nation's government threatened them with death unless they denied the prophecies of the birth of Jesus Christ which they claimed had passed and not be fulfilled.  They were wrong, but for a time, the saints were tested with the threat of death and a deadline.   3 Nephi 1:5-9

Similar threats of death are coming to our future, for those who will not deny the Christ and God our Father.  There will be a "beast" that speaks blasphemies against God, and will kill all those who will not worship the satanic image of the beast, which also speaks.  With today's technology in animation, an image that speaks lying and flattering words will be created, through which this global beast of a governing body will communicate.  They will also make war with anyone and threaten the saints especially, and even overcome them. Hence, the difficult times that await the saints of God.  John called it the "patience of the saints."

The prophecy is that ALL on the earth, except the saints of Christ, WILL worship the satanic "beast."
 11 And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.
 12 And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.
 13 And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,
 14 And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.
 15 And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.
 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.
 18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six. (666)
