Rev.13: 11 –18 And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. And he exerciseth all the power of the beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the beast, whose deadly wound was healed. And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men. And deceived 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. And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed. And he caused all those small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads. And no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of the beast. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast ;for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six. Revelation 14:9-11 And the third angel followed them, saying with a load voice, if any man worship the beast and his image, and received his mark in his forehead, or in his hand. The same shall drink of the wine to 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. And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up forever 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. I have typed some of the verses in Rev. in order for you to know what it says but I do think it would be much better for you to go in and read the book for yourself. This is a warning in the Bible for us that there will be a deceiver on this earth and it warns us to not worship this beast or take his mark. It tells us what his mark is and it is the number of 666. If anyone takes this number they are damned. It tells us that no man will be able to buy or sell, if they do not take this mark yet damnation comes with taking it Do not take this mark 666, for if you do the Bible tells us that those that do will be cast in the fire forever and ever. There is so much more that needs to be said about this .It tells of how this beast will show great signs and wonders that it will deceive many. This beast will be able to perform miracles as well. This is not the miracles of the Lord God in Heaven. It is the deceiver and to fool the people. One never knows when this may be asked nor knows the time but I feel it important for those that do not know about this mark needs to be informed. Many have tried to guess how this may come about and whom the beast will be this is not what this message is about. The most important thing to know is to not take this mark. Before you allow fear to grip your heart and let your mind runs wild there is away to over come and that is through the Lord Jesus Christ. Don’t you think it would be wise to accept the Lord Jesus Christ as your savior? It the times that many things are so uncertain and if you are not saved where will you be if these things should begin to happen? Rev.21 tells us of the great victory that is given to his children. I would advise you to read the rest of the story about who has the real power and those that overcome shall inherit all things; and I will be his God and they shall be my son. It does go on to say the fearful and unbelieving and the abominable, and murders, and the whoremongers, and the sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake, which burneth with fire and brimstone; which is the second death. I am unable to type all that needs to be typed here but this is to show you a little about who will be made an over comer and also those that are in danger of hell fire. The great news is Jesus Christ our Lord has made those that follow him and are his shall be saved from these awful place. Mind you to not have fear but to have trust in our savior. With him he has made it where we are safe. The main reason I have tried to write a little about this is to inform those that may not know how to over come and to know not to take the number of the beast. I may try and write some more on this later. May God be with you and bless you is my prayer. Sonja 10/25/2005
