MARK OF THE BEAST is COMING (Revelation 13:16-17): Be prepared!

“[IF ANY MAN HAVE AN EAR, LET HIM HEAR]” (Revelation 13:9).

The day is soon coming when there will arise to power a penultimate world ruler, a world king, in the spirit of the Devil. Aka Satan (Daniel 8:23–24).

The whole world is going to worship the beast EXCEPT
God’s Elect, the Children of God by the FAITH in JESUS CHRIST (Galatians 3:24-29) (Revelation 13:8)..

This ruler will come at a time when there will be chaos all over the world and he will come in a cloak pretending to be “Christ” ushering in world peace. However, he will be the Antichrist (1 John 2:18). The prophet Daniel explained said:

“And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors are come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences, shall stand up. And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power: and he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper, and practice, and shall destroy the mighty and the holy people” (Daniel 8:23–24).

“And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, [AND BY PEACE SHALL DESTROY MANY]: he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand” (Daniel 8:25).

Jesus warns, DO NOT BE DECEIVED, saying: “For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, [IF IT WERE POSSIBLE, THEY SHALL DECEIVE THE VERY ELECT]. Behold, I have told you before” (Matthew 24:24-25).

“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. And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name” (Revelation 13:16-17).

“And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, ‘Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?’” (Revelation 13:4).

However, God’s Elect, the Children of God by the FAITH in JESUS CHRIST will NOT worship the beast! For it is written:

“And ALL THAT DWELL UPON THE EARTH SHALL WORSHIP HIM, whose [NAMES ARE NOT WRITTEN IN THE BOOK OF LIFE OF THE LAMB] slain from the foundation of the world. [IF ANY MAN HAVE AN EAR, LET HIM HEAR]” (Revelation 13:8-9).

“For God hath [NOT APPOINTED US TO WRATH], but [TO OBTAIN SALVATION BY OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST]” (1 Thessalonians 5:9).

“For when they shall say, peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape” (1 Thessalonians 5:3).

When will we know that we are CLOSE to THE END?

Keep your eyes on JERUSALEM!

Jesus says: “When [YE SHALL SEE] the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, [STANDING WHERE IT OUGHT NOT], (let him that readeth understand,) then let them that be in Judæa flee to the mountains” (Mark 13:14).

“[WHEN YE THEREFORE SHALL SEE THE ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION], spoken of by Daniel the prophet, [STAND IN THE HOLY PLACE], (whoso readeth, let him understand:)” (Matthew 24:15).

“And when [YE SHALL SEE JERUSALEM COMPASSED WITH ARMIES], then know that the desolation thereof is nigh” (Luke 21:20).

The Apostle Paul, said: “Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and [THAT MAN OF SIN BE REVEALED, THE SON OF PERDITION]; who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; [SO THAT HE AS GOD SITTETH IN THE TEMPLE OF GOD], shewing himself that he is God” (2 Thessalonians 2:3–4).

In John’s vison, he wrote saying: “AND there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the [TEMPLE OF GOD], and the altar, and them that worship therein. But [THE COURT WHICH IS WITHOUT THE TEMPLE LEAVE OUT, AND MEASURE IT NOT; FOR IT IS GIVEN UNTO THE GENTILES]: and [THE HOLY CITY SHALL THEY TREAD UNDER FOOT FORTY AND TWO MONTHS]” (Revelation 11:1-2).

The E N D.

Absolutely NOTHING will be remembered of TIME; this World EXCEPT the word of GOD.

Especially in this present time, we are to be watchful in all things to keep at the forefront of our daily lives the love of the word of God, the love of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit; and not the love of this world (Luke 4:4, 11:28).

“Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world” (1 John 2:15).

“For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God” (1 Corinthians 3:19).

“If any man loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth forever” (1 John 2:15–17).

“Blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it” (Luke 11:28).

Jesus says: “Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away” (Matthew 24:35).

“For ever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven” (Psalm 119:89).

“And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, ‘It is done’” (Revelation 16:17).

DAY OF JUDGMENT: Who can be S A V E D?

When Jesus returns to earth in the glory of his Father with all holy angels there will be a harvest of the earth (Matthew 13:37–43) (Matthew 25:31).

“For as the earth bringeth forth her bud, and as the garden causeth the things that are sown in it to spring forth; so the Lord GOD will cause [RIGHTEOUSNESS] and praise to spring forth before all the nations” (Isaiah 61:11).

Jesus says: “Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven” (Matthew 7:21).

“For many are called, but few are chosen” (Matthew 22:14).

Jesus’ disciple Peter warned saying: “For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God? [AND IF THE RIGHTEOUS SCARCELY BE SAVED], where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?” (1 Peter 4:17-18).

Jesus’ disciples asked: “[WHO THEN CAN BE SAVED]?’ and Jesus answered them saying: “With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible” (Matthew 19:25-26).
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God” (John 3:16, 17-18).

Jesus says: “Verily, verily, I say unto you, [HE THAT BELIEVETH ON ME HATH EVERLASTING LIFE]. I am that bread of life” (John 6:47-48).

“The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his hand. [HE THAT BELIEVETH ON THE SON HATH EVERLASTING LIFE]: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him” (John 3:35-36).

“[HE THAT HATH THE SON HATH LIFE; AND HE THAT HATH NOT THE SON OF GOD HATH NOT LIFE]. If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed” (John 8:36).

CROSS GATEWAY TO HEAVEN.

The gateway is still open but, on the Last Day after Jesus delivers up the Kingdom of God to the FATHER, it will be closed FOREVER (1 Thessalonians 4:14-18) (1 Corinthians 15:21-24).

Jesus also warned that his coming will be just as in the days of Noe before the great flood, and in the days of Lot in Sodom and Gomorrah. He expressed how “they did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and [DESTROYED THEM ALL].

Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; but the same day that Lot went out of Sodom, it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and [DESTROYED THEM ALL]” (Luke 17:27–29).

“The time is fulfilled, and the Kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel” (Mark 1:15).

“I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance” (Luke 5:32).

“Except ye repent, [YE SHALL ALL LIKEWISE PERISH]” (Luke 13:3).

“Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat; because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it” (Matthew 7:13–14).

“Blessed is the man that heareth me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at the posts of my doors” (Proverbs 8:34).

“Seek ye the LORD, [ALL YE MEEK OF THE EARTH], which have wrought his judgment; seek righteousness, seek meekness: it may be ye shall be hid in the day of the LORD’s anger” (Zephaniah 2:3).

“For whoso findeth me findeth life, and shall obtain favor of the LORD. But he that sinneth against me wrongeth his own soul: all they that hate me love death” (Proverbs 8:35-36).

What did you have for lunch?

If asked among a random selection of people, answers will run the gamut from:
“I had a sandwich”;
“I had fish and chips;
“I had a soup and salad”
“I didn’t have lunch as yet”;
“I had the buffet and tried almost everything”;
And so on.
Before or after we eat let us always remember to give God thanks in Jesus’ name for what we are about to eat or just ate because the word of God says: “When thou hast eaten and art full, then thou shalt bless the LORD thy God for the good land which he hath given thee” (Deuteronomy 8: 10).

“For all the earth is mine” (Exodus 19:5).

“The righteous eateth to the satisfying of his soul: but the belly of the wicked shall want” (Proverbs 13:25).

For those of us fortunate to be able to buy food to have at least three main meals every day, let us also remember that there are millions of people, if not a billion or more people, living on this earth in conditions of starvation, and if they were asked: What did you have for lunch? There will be heartfelt answers such as:

“I do not know where to get food”; or “I have not eaten in days”; or “I do not have money to buy lunch” and so on.

“Blessed is he that considereth the poor: the LORD will deliver him in time of trouble” (Psalm 41:1).

While we may not be able to perform miracles as Jesus did when he took five loaves of bread and two fish to feed five thousand men beside women and children (Matthew 14:19-21), we can take action in our communities to feed the hungry, provide shelter, comfort the sick, visit the imprisoned, and in general provide help to those in need (Matthew 25:35–39).

We will be rewarded for our good works for being a profitable elected servant of God. On the Last Day when Jesus returns to earth, he will say, “Verily I say unto you, inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me” (Matthew 25:40).

“Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ” (Ephesians 5:20).

Are you prepared to get to the NEW HEAVENS AND A NEW EARTH?

There is another planet Earth in the heavens but, it is not visible.
“For since the beginning of the world men have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, neither hath the eye seen, O God, beside thee, what he hath prepared for him that waiteth for him” (Isaiah 64:4).

“The LORD hath prepared his throne in the heavens; and his kingdom ruleth over all” (Psalm 103:19).

“THE LORD reigneth, he is clothed with majesty; the LORD is clothed with strength, wherewith he hath girded himself: the world also is stablished, that it cannot be moved.
Thy throne is established of old: thou art from everlasting” (Psalm 93:1-2)

Jesus is in the heavens where there is already NEW HEAVENS AND A NEW EARTH where there is the NEW JERUSALEM.

“The LORD is exalted; for he dwelleth on high: he hath filled Zion with judgment and righteousness. Look upon Zion, the city of our solemnities: thine eyes shall see Jerusalem a quiet habitation, a tabernacle that shall not be taken down; not one of the stakes thereof shall ever be removed, neither shall any of the cords thereof be broken” (Isaiah 33:5, 20).

In the Book of Revelation John said:

“[AND I SAW A GREAT WHITE THRONE, AND HIM THAT SAT ON IT, FROM WHOSE FACE THE EARTH AND THE HEAVEN FLED AWAY; AND THERE WAS FOUND NO PLACE FOR THEM]” (Revelation 20:11).

“And I saw a [NEW HEAVEN AND A NEW EARTH]: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. And I John saw the holy city, [NEW JERUSALEM], coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God” (Revelation 21:1-3).

SPIRIT = ETERNAL LIFE or Strange Flesh = Eternal Fire?

Without any doubt the time we are living in today is leading towards the last years on this earth (Revelation 13:16-17, 20:12-15).

The prophet Daniel foretold of this time, saying: “Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; [BUT THE WICKED SHALL DO WICKEDLY]: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand” (Daniel 12:10).

One every media outlet, it is clearly to be seen the continual rise of wickedness:
“Transgenderism” or Transgender agenda: A man pretending or masquerading or imitating or impersonating a woman and vice versa.

Do not be deceived by the terminology “transgender” because it is not possible to change from one gender into another gender! A man born a man will always be a man; and a woman born a woman will always be a woman! Absolutely no man can change a man into a woman or vice versa!

“Woe unto them that call evil good and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter” (Isaiah 5:20).

“Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to [FORNICATION], and going after [STRANGE FLESH], are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of [ETERNAL FIRE]” (Jude 1:7).

“Now the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body. Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body” (1 Corinthians 6:13).

“The Lord knoweth them that are his” (2 Timothy 2:19). “Now if any man has not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his” (Romans 8:9).

“Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the [SPIRIT OF GOD DWELLETH IN YOU]? If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are” (1 Corinthians 3:16–17).

“For, behold, the day cometh that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the LORD of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch” (Malachi 4:1).

“[BE NOT DECEIVED; GOD IS NOT MOCKED]: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. For he that [SOWETH TO HIS FLESH SHALL OF THE FLESH REAP CORRUPTION]; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the SPIRIT] reap [LIFE EVERLASTING]” (Galatians 6:7-8).

The roadway to ETERNAL LIFE.

In the traffic of this lifetime, there will be many roads travelled to many destinations. But, know this fact, there is only one road which leads to HEAVEN (Revelation 2:7)!

While this road is still here today before this heaven and earth passes away (1 Peter 21:33) (Mark 13:31) (2 Peter 3:10), get hold of the coordinates to find and stay in the right direction on this road.

Where is this road?

There is only one man who knows the way, and he is the ONLY begotten Son of God (John 3:16-18).

“No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him” (John 1:18).

“For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus: who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time” (1 Timothy 2:5–6).

What is his name?

His name is JESUS CHRIST.

“Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and forever” (Hebrews 13:8), says: “I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me” (John 14:6).

Do you have the LIGHT?

“Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of [LIGHTS], with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning” (James 1:17).

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever [BELIEVETH] in him should not perish, but have [EVERLASTING LIFE]” (John 3:16).
JESUS, the only begotten Son of GOD says:

“I am come a [LIGHT] into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness’” (John 12:46).

“I am the [LIGHT] of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life” (John 8:12).

“This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that [GOD IS LIGHT], and in him is no darkness at all” (1 John 1:5).

“Wherefore God saith: ‘Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee [LIGHT]’” (Ephesians 5:14).

“Behold, I shew you a mystery; we shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed. In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed” (1 Corinthians 15:44-55).

“For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first, then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. “Wherefore comfort one another with these words” (1 Thessalonians 4:16–18).
