Three dates to note for March 4:
In 1193, Saladin died of a fever in Damascus after successfully defending Jerusalem from Richard I's Third Crusade. As a defender of the Muslim faith, Saladin was seen as the Antichrist by many. The famous eschatologist Joachim of Fiore (1135-1202) claimed Saladin was the sixth "head" of the red dragon of Revelation, and last predecessor to the Antichrist.
In 1933, Franklin D. Roosevelt assumed office. Eventually elected to four terms, Roosevelt profoundly changed the scale and structure of the United States government. With the Social Security program in particular, he instituted a national identification scheme repeatedly linked since to the Mark of the Beast in Revelation.
In 2009, Christian eschatologist Jeff Kluttz released the book "Return Of The King: A Prophetic Timeline Of End-Time Events".
