Advice for not being deceived during the tribulation:

World government is not your friend.

World religion is not your friend.

Jesus won't set foot on the earth until the end of 7 years of pure horror.

UFOs/aliens are not your friends. They are demons.

The Catholic Church is not your friend.

A world leader will show up and bring a false peace for a time. He is not your friend.

Don't take the mark of the beast.

Jesus is the only Savior. Your only hope once the 7 years of tribulation starts is to put your trust in Him. Read the Bible. This will probably get you killed but there are worse things than death.

That's about it. If it were me, I'd say the best thing to hope for is a death for Christ's sake. Much better to put your trust in Jesus before all this starts.
