  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Revelation 15:2 And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name, stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God.

Gotten victory over the beast.

Genesis 3:1 Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?

Obviously the most dangerous beast is Satan, for in the lying, underhanded, low down sneak form which over the centuries has gotten so big and out of control that it is now considered a dragon.




Gotten victory over his image

Genesis 1:27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

When man's minds shrink their god down to their size, they suffer the shrinking of their capabilities to understand the truth. In both the diminishing powers and understanding comes the bruit, the insane, and the lost.

Isaiah 44:17 And the residue thereof he maketh a god, even his graven image: he falleth down unto it, and worshippeth it, and prayeth unto it, and saith, Deliver me; for thou art my god.

Man in his own wisdom things he is doing God a favor by creating things that are to honor God. God looks upon the works of man and see that they have not been listening to His commands, His warnings, His message, and He knowing where they are headed, still trys to woo them away from their foolishness.

Jeremiah 10:14 Every man is brutish in his knowledge: every founder is confounded by the graven image: for his molten image is falsehood, and there is no breath in them.

We are to be changed and transformed by the renewing of our minds, we are to become like Yeshua in life and in heart. We are to embrace His Holy Spirit that we may become the image of sons and daughters of God that has all of creation waiting for.

Romans 8:29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.

How do we get over the image of the god of this world? How are we to grow in belief? How can we see the brighter light of the Holy Spirit upon the Holy scriptures and in them see the image of God in it all? Plead with God that you are not blined to the truth, not blinded by preconceived notions that stand in the way of seeing the truth as it is found in Yeshua.

2 Corinthians 4:4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.

We need to see Yeshua in all that we say and do, in the Torah and by the Hoy Spirit we will be inspirited to follow him as He purges us of our sins in the great Day of Atonement, so that we see Yeshua sit down on the right hand of God.

Hebrews 1:3 Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high:

You know they say that by what we consume our time with is whom we will reflect. If our eyes are focused on Yeshua and we learn all we can about the image of our God and Creator, and what is his character. By beholding we become changed and this is the mystery of the recreation of His image of us. This is also our getting over the image of the beast, for as we draw closer to the Lord and Saviour in truth, we see the lies for what they really are.

Revelation 14:8 And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication. 9 And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, 10 The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:

Gotten victory over his mark

This mark of authority is in the name, the name of the one you follow. When any king lays down the law, they must mark it with the signet ring, sealed with wax and the mark which contains his name, his authority and his territory. As with the kingdom of this beast, there will come a time when a law will be passed for the world to abide by. This mark we are to reject, must be something that we can identify as not of God. Something that is not found in the Word of God and is passed off as truth.

Revelation 14:11 And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.

It will be a false prophet who will by miracles convince the world to follow the political system and abide by new religious orders.

Revelation 19:20 And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.

Gotten over the number of his name

One thing that we are never to get over is the name of our Lord and Saviour, for He is our Salvation and our refuge in the time of trouble.

Exodus 3:15 And God said moreover unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, the LORD God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath sent me unto you: this is my name for ever, and this is my memorial unto all generations.

Exodus 15:3 The LORD is a man of war: the LORD is his name.

Exodus 20:7 Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.

Deuteronomy 28:58 If thou wilt not observe to do all the words of this law that are written in this book, that thou mayest fear this glorious and fearful name, THE LORD THY GOD;

Psalm 96:8 Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name: bring an offering, and come into his courts.

Psalm 100:4 Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.

Psalm 105:1 O give thanks unto the LORD; call upon his name: make known his deeds among the people.

Proverbs 30:4 Who hath ascended up into heaven, or descended? who hath gathered the wind in his fists? who hath bound the waters in a garment? who hath established all the ends of the earth? what is his name, and what is his son's name, if thou canst tell?

Isaiah 7:14 Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.

Isaiah 9:6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

Isaiah 12:4 And in that day shall ye say, Praise the LORD, call upon his name, declare his doings among the people, make mention that his name is exalted.

Isaiah 47:4 As for our redeemer, the LORD of hosts is his name, the Holy One of Israel.
