I propose these thoughts to you:
Rev 13:13
And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire
come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,
This is going to be one powerful dude!
Rev 13:14
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.
Rev 13:15
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.
Rev 13:16
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:
I would like to give some thoughts here.
We can see from Rev. 13:13 that this Anti-Christ will have at
least enough power to bring down lightening from the heavens.
We see in verse 14 that he brings back this one world system
after it had failed. We have not seen this happen yet, but we
may be working on it. The thing to remember is, that he (Anti-Christ)
will not show up until after this system fails, and then he will heal
the deadly wound with his own system.
We then see in verse 15 that he gives life to an image, and that
it would both speak, and put to death those who will not
worship it.
I believe that this image with power to speak and kill is a
religious system. I believe that the mark will be a spirtual mark
as we can see in verse 16, it is IN the forehead, and IN the
right hand.
Being in the forehead, that would be your brain. The right hand
would represent the work that is done.
What work is the question?
How about killing the saints?
How about, to prove yourself, you have to ad in the action of
exposing Gods people.
How about when you walk into a store to buy something, you will
have to say something like "praise be to our messiah" before
you can walk out with your stuff? This is just an example, I'm
sure it will be something much more soficticated.
And, if you didn't say this, BANG, your exposed?
Luk 12:53
The father shall be divided against the son, and the
son against the father; the mother against the daughter, and the
daughter against the mother; the mother in law against her
daughter in law, and the daughter in law against her mother in
law.
There are so many people, if not everyone, that has a basic
understanding of biblical knowledge, I propose this next
thought:
We still don't see a one world government, but it is just around
the corner (IMHO).
Okay, this beast (New World Order) finaly gets control over the
world. We think, "WOW, peace at last". And then, out of nowhere,
something happens, something just unbelievable. And, the world
breaks out in all out war!!! WORLD WAR 3!!!
Arives, Anti-Christ!!
Out of nowhere, this figure show's up on the earth, snaps his
fingers, lightening and fire flys throughout the skys......
WWWWOOOOWWWW!!!!!
Everyone, and everything stops!!!!
He say's,
"I am the Christ, and I have come to judge the whole
world!! If you want to live, and have life, follow me...."
Of coarse, he preforms many signs and wonders over the next
3.5 years, and everyone is amazed at his knowledge, his power,
people are becoming convinced.
The
Great falling away now happens!
Now, he says,
"Judgement has come, bring all of those who do
not follow me, to my churches, and courts!!! As it is writen, I
must judge the unjust!!!"
Many, truely believing he is the christ (messiah), will follow, and
carry out his orders, fully believing it is judgement time, and they
are just following they're lord.
Now is the time for the saints to shine, and allow the Holy Spirit of
the one True God to speak through them, as a witness to the
whole world. (as is writen in Mat 10:19)
Mat 10:19
But when they deliver you up, take no thought how or
what ye shall speak: for it shall be given you in that same hour
what ye shall speak.
Now everyone hears, at last, the true pentecost tongue, and the
true Word, the Gospel, is heard throughout the world. With the
Holy Spirit of God Himself, speaking through His people, in the
Heavenly tongue that the whole world understands.
Suddenly, things are not so good anymore, suddenly there is
unrest in his followers, the truth is coming out before they're
very eye's, they can feel the spiritual chaos welling up inside them,
they know they have been misled by none other then Satan
himself!!!
ZAPPER!!!!! BANG!!!!! RRRRAAAASSSSHHHHHH!!!!!!!
Suddenly, the skys go black, the sun gives no light, the moon
turns red as blood, Yeshua/Jesus, our Messiah has arived!!!!!
The earth raddles, and the stars fall from Heaven because of
His Mighty Presents, WHAT AN INCREDIBLE SIGHT!!!!!!!!!
Rev 6:15
And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the
rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every
bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in
the rocks of the mountains;
Rev 6:16
And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and
hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from
the wrath of the Lamb:
Rev 6:17
For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall
be able to stand?
And He says to His faithful followers, His saints:
Rev 18:4
And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come
out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and
that ye receive not of her plagues.
And at this time, those who were not killed, were caught up to
meet they're Lord in the air with the rest of His saints, and now
has come Gods wrath on the whole world.....
Hang on, we are about to witness the battle of Armageddon, and
it's not going to be pretty for those who remain on the earth. But,
it will only last a few seconds.........
