Mark of the Beast.

You’ve heard about the mark of the beast.  You’ve heard that it’s not a good thing to receive that mark.  And you’ve likely said to yourself and others that you won’t get the mark!  Really. 

If the mark of the beast were publicised as the “Mark of the Beast” you’d be pretty sure not to get that mark.  Especially if you’ve got your house, your car, your job, your food, and your clothing.  But what happens if all that is taken away and martial law rules the world?  You’re left with no house, no car, no job, no food, no clothing.  And your children are in extreme danger of starving or worse.  What then?

The question won’t be whether or not you’re a strong Christian.  The question will be whether or not the Lord enables you to stand against your own fears.  Then will not be the time to try to stand on your own.  But now is the time to seek the Lord Jesus in your life.  In order to stand against such horrible times and odds, you’ll need to have a seriously strong relationship with Jesus.

I’ve posted some of the scriptures related to this topic below.  May God grant you mercy that you might stand on the day of great trial.

By His Grace.

” It also forced all people, great and small, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hands or on their foreheads,  so that they could not buy or sell unless they had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of its name.” (Rev. 13: 16,17)

And:

 “9 A third angel followed them and said in a loud voice: “If anyone worships the beast and its image and receives its mark on their forehead or on their hand, 10 they, too, will drink the wine of God’s fury, which has been poured full strength into the cup of his wrath. They will be tormented with burning sulfur in the presence of the holy angels and of the Lamb. 11 And the smoke of their torment will rise for ever and ever. There will be no rest day or night for those who worship the beast and its image, or for anyone who receives the mark of its name.” 12 This calls for patient endurance on the part of the people of God who keep his commands and remain faithful to Jesus.” (Rev. 14)

The Closing Net

As we see events closing in on the world, which are forcing them into the valley of decision, we also see people living their lives as though nothing were happening.  I’m amazed to watch this happening as God foretold.  He said that He would send all manner of difficulties upon man that they would have a chance to turn to Him.  But He said that they would never forsake the work of their hands.  God is absolutely true, wise, eternal, Holy, and able to direct the paths of men into His will. 

Where do you stand in relation to God?  If you’ve accepted His salvation in Christ Jesus and are actively listening to be willingly led by God’s will, then good.  But if you’re ignoring the signs of this age, you’re in for a horrible surprise shortly.  Can’t you feel the net close in around you?  haven’t you heard of the horrors abroad?  Don’t you see the rulers gather together to plot their own kingdoms?  Why doesn’t the rising cost of living cause you alarm?  And this is just the beginning. 

You have heard people warn of the end of the world.  And you’ve heard others laugh at such talk.  And yet you do nothing regarding your relationship to the One who made you.  Your only concern is that you survive.  How long will you be able to survive?  And what does survival in the body you now inhabit mean?  That you get to live a few more minutes than the majority of those who will appear at the throne of God with you? 

Look around.  It’s here.  The end is quickly becoming apparent. 

By His Grace.
