Why escape from the Mark, You know, the one in your right hand or forehead !?!

 

How to Escape the Mark of the Beast [He] is able to keep you from stumbling, and to present you faultless before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy. —Jude 1:24, emphasis added As the end of the world approaches, so does earth’s darkest hour. Hell will soon open, and the pit will vomit out its demon hordes to run wildly throughout humanity. Other beasts from the abyss will globally wreak death and destruction. Satan himself will invade the earth and seemingly conquer it at last. At the helm, the visible leader of the world will be the long promised man of sin, the lawless one, the beast, the coming world leader—commonly known as the Antichrist. But behind him, the real power will be the god of this world, the dragon, old Lucifer, the lying serpent of Eden. Imagine what it would be like if that perfect leader were to step forward tomorrow—a man who appears to seemingly come out of nowhere—almost a person from the past who rolls into one all the great leaders of the world. Imagine one man with the strength of a Caesar, the military genius of an Alexander, the mesmerizing oratory of a Hitler, the warmth of a Ronald Reagan, the ruthless determination of a Ghenghis Khan, and the apparent compassion and tenderness of Jesus Christ! John Phillips writes: “In 1 Timothy 4:1–3, the Bible clearly teaches that we can expect this invasion from the pit in the last days. During the final days, most people will be led astray by evil spirits and occult teachings. The shadows of these times are already darkening the world. Nothing but the restraining 

presence of God the Holy Spirit is holding back the floodgates of this time of evil. . . . Advanced demonism was the mark of Noah’s day; [and] it is becoming an increasingly evident characteristic of the age in which we live.”1 Revelation 13 explains (as do other scriptures) what I consider to be one of the saddest doctrines in the Bible—the teaching about the Antichrist, which tells us that the FALSE Christ will be universally embraced by the world after the TRUE Christ has been rejected! 

“Therefore when you see the ‘abomination of desolation,’ spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place” (whoever reads, let him understand) (Matthew 24:15). “For false christs [pseudo-christs] and false prophets [pseudo-prophets] will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect” (Matthew 24:24). “I was watching; and the same horn was making war against the saints, and prevailing against them, . . . He shall speak pompous words against the Most High, shall persecute the saints of the Most High, and shall intend to change times and law. Then the saints shall be given into his hand for a time and times and half a time” (Daniel 7:21, 25). The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders (2 Thessalonians 2:9). Far more lethal than rampant viruses, far more poisonous than radioactivity or toxins, a counterfeit Christianity is seeping into our world. Jesus warned of a coming day of deception that was so intoxicating that without His intervention even God’s children would succumb. Revelation 13 shows the second flood, which will destroy our world. The first flood in Genesis was with water from God to judge sinful humanity. This second flood is with deception from Satan to seal the doom of humans unwilling to follow the Lord. Perhaps the Antichrist will step into the world from a battlefield or maybe from the United Nations. Very possibly, a glowing metallic UFO will slowly descend in a globally watched spot and, before the wandering eyes of all the inhabitants of the earth, out will step the ultimate Superman—the first beast! In concise word pictures, John describes the culmination of the lies of Satan. Mankind needs to beware of Satan’s counterfeit authority (Revelation 12:17–13:2), counterfeit resurrection (Revelation 13:3– 5), counterfeit citizenship (Revelation 13:6–10), counterfeit worship (Revelation 13:11– 15), and counterfeit security—the mark of the beast (Revelation 13:16–18). How can you escape these counterfeits of Satan? The only place of safety is to have the security that the real Christ gives. May the wonders of this chapter cause you to seek God’s mark—and not the mark of the beast! My Prayer for You This Week: Oh Lord, as we read the words in Revelation 13, we are grieved to think of someone who will blaspheme Your name, Your dwelling place—the very God of heaven! We are grieved that he will be allowed to parade and march up and down on this planet for forty-two months, imitating Your three and one-half years of ministry—even imitating Your resurrection from the dead, Lord Jesus—and imitating Your power from heaven. We love You, so our hearts are grieved to think that mankind and humanity would stoop to the depths to be led by this monster from the pit! We want to magnify Your name, for the world is coming to a day when it will seek to obliterate the name of the true and living God—the Creator, the Redeemer, and the righteous Judge from the very consciousness of this planet. We pray that You might be praised through us, and that we might be among those who turn many to righteousness that we might all shine like the stars forever. May

we have Your compassion, Lord Jesus, to tell everyone about You, and earnestly plead, like Paul, with them so that they might be reconciled to God and avoid the terror of the Lord. Give us an insatiable desire to win souls to You, Lord Jesus. Help us to faithfully tell people that before them is a choice, a destiny, and a destination that is either blessed or horrible, and that they must choose life and look at the Savior. Enable us to see You clearly! We pray all these things in Your precious name. Amen.

As the end of days approaches, you can find hope as you remember the wondrous love of Jesus!

  The Love of Jesus “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” —John 3:16, emphasis added Who could ever forget the dramatic scene of Revelation 6? Somewhere beyond the starry sky a herald angel stood with a trumpet in his hand, and at an elected time, by the decree of the Lord God Almighty, the trumpet sounded and the kingdoms of this world became the kingdoms of our God and of His Christ! Thus the Tribulation opened, and Christ began taking back the earth, which is rightfully His. One by one Christ will unroll the seals. As each seal is broken, He will gain further possession and control of His inheritance. Revelation 7 then opens with the love of Jesus sending 144,000 missionaries into this time of Great Tribulation upon the world. This is the most important chapter to help us truly understand the love of Jesus Christ. In no other place in the Bible is it so dramatically etched out as it is in the contrast between the wrath in chapter 6 and the mercy in chapter 7. Christ’s merciful love in Revelation 7 is demonstrated by His sending over four times as many missionaries into the world as are currently serving Him. At the beginning of the twenty-first century, there are only 35,000 missionaries of every persuasion, but during the Tribulation He will provide 144,000 evangelists! Look at how Jesus shows His love throughout this overview of Revelation 7:
Verses 1–3: Jesus stands with the servants of the Lamb, and prepares them for the bad times ahead. His Spirit signs, seals, and secures them.
Verses 4–8: Jesus knows where His servants are at all times. He directs His servants, and seals 12,000 members of each of the tribes of Israel.
Verses 9–10: Jesus wants His servants with Him.
Verses 11–12, 15: Jesus seeks His servants’ worship.
Verses 13–14: Jesus promises His servants a fruitful ministry.
Verse 16: Jesus comforts His servants after all their troubles on earth.

Verse 17: Jesus refreshes His servants by His presence. What a beautiful chapter! Like Jesus, do you share His loving passion for lost souls? Do you have a burden for the lost? If you haven’t up to this point, would you like to get started? You can begin by making a list of unsaved family members, friends, and neighbors, and then start praying for them. Get a free supply of the Living Water gospel of John booklets from Livingwater.org, and ask the Lord to give you divine appointments to share those books. Then keep praying, and look expectantly for the Lord’s direction. Once you begin giving away these books and loving lost souls, Christ will grant fruit, and you will share in His joy over each person who turns from darkness to the Light.

Inescapable Death

  It is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment. —Hebrews 9:27

☐ The Urgency: Knowing, therefore, the terror of the Lord, we persuade men (2 Corinthians 5:11). We are to PERSUADE the lost. Are you loving, warning, persuading, and praying for the lost? Make whatever time you have left on earth count for Christ—for eternity!

In yesterday’s lesson we saw that there will be nowhere to hide from worldwide pestilences like the avian flu. In a matter of a few weeks, death for millions upon millions would be inescapable. As described in God’s inspired Word, that scenario certainly fits with when the Lord is reeling in this rebellious planet at the end of human history: “I looked, and behold, a pale horse. And the name of him who sat on it was Death, and Hades followed with him. And power was given to them over a fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, with hunger, with death, and by the beasts of the earth” (Revelation 6:8).
The rider on the pale horse begins his deadly ride at some point during the Tribulation, and before his ride is over, a quarter of the population of mankind will be dead from either war, famine, or “the beasts of the earth.” The word “beasts” in verse 8 is therion in Greek, and means a “venomous beast.” The H5N1 avian flu is a viral infection that scientists fear has crossed over from the beasts of the earth to human-to human transmission. A virus is, in and of itself, a living thing, a “venomous beast” by definition. The existence of a deadly virus, combined with the other signs of the soon return of the Lord, suggests a loose time frame for the end of human history. For 2,000 years, that time frame was “someday” or “eventually.” For our generation, however, the ability to kill a quarter of mankind with war, famine, and infectious disease is imminently real. As Dr. Michael Specter observed: “If not this year or the next, the following year, depending on the ‘if-then’ factor . . 

- IF Iran doesn’t use its nuclear weapons, 

 -IF the Pakistanis and Indians don’t nuke each other,

- IF North Korea doesn’t use its atomic bombs,

- IF a vaccine is discovered for H5N1, 

-IF terrorists don’t get their hands on bio-weapons,-

-IF no global war arises out of our newly articulated policy of spreading democracy into the Third World,

 and IF the ongoing Middle East conflicts don’t spark a global thermonuclear war first, 

THEN, maybe it might take a little longer.” 3 While we wait, we have been gifted, called, and empowered to be His witnesses.
The Motivation: “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life” (John 3:16). Our marching orders as believers came in Galilee as Jesus invited His disciples to their commissioning (Matthew 28:16–20). We are all to be involved in making disciples. We are to LOVE the lost by going to the lost.
The Power: “No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him up at the last day” (John 6:44). We are to PRAY for the lost.
The Method: Him we preach, warning every man and teaching every man in all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus. To this end I also labor, striving according to His working which works in me mightily (Colossians 1:28–29). We are to WARN the lost.
The Urgency: Knowing, therefore, the terror of the Lord, we persuade men (2 Corinthians 5:11). We are to PERSUADE the lost. Are you loving, warning, persuading, and praying for the lost? Make whatever time you have left on earth count for Christ—for eternity!      (Living Hope For the END of Days) John Barnett

Upon further study

 There is much to be gained by the following videos but I recommend reading the Living Water everyday. I'm certain if you will read and re-read it at least three times you will understand the truths of the Word of God and be Born of the Spirit.  Read it and you will know what I know.  The hour is late my friend. Hell is coming to earth. Our so called leaders (global) have rejected God and He's going to give them what they want. The world leader "Anti-Christ" is setting the stage and its not going to be pretty. Ask the Lord to forgive you. Why, you ask? Because we are sinners, separated from God. And we need to repent and ask Him to forgive us. Then you will know as you are known

If you are one of the blessed folk that just accepted the Lord Jesus as your Savior then you may need some direction on where not to worship. Prof Walter Martin in digital form is that source. I will be providing additional help on houses of worship and what to look for as well as those to avoid. Like I noted earlier in the booklet "Living Water" far too many churches have become woke and “property” of the NWO.
