For years we thought that the Catholic church was the religion to fear. Now we see that Islamic radicals are bent on exterminating all other religions. They have positioned themselves all over the world and are reaping havoc. The European Union, as well as the UN are in place. And thanks to TBN the gospel has just about reached every people and tongue.
We believers need to be in prayer and the word daily but we should not live in fear. The battle is fierce so we must fight the good fight while there is time. In regard to our children, we are to train them in the word, love them unconditionally, and pray over them constantly. I don't believe Jesus will lose any of those he has chosen. Just as Jesus was ushered into this world over 2000 years ago as predicted, I believe we have the signs of the time of his return and can "wait in the temple" like Simeon. I say come Lord Jesus! |

In December 1992, I was 4 months old in the Lord when I was given a very detailed vision of those things to come. In the vision, I saw many Christians being persecuted for not receiving the mark of the beast. By persecution, I mean murdered. They were rounded up, so to speak, and taken to what appeared to be a hospital, where there were guards at the ready with their guns. In the distance, there was thick black and acrid smoke polluting the sky. There was no sign of life in the faces of the captors...they were void of any emotion.
Coming over loud speakers was the most blasphemous filth I have ever heard. The male voice proclaimed that our Lord was not real, and that he (the one with the voice over the speakers), was in fact our saviour. I was standing in a line with others but was allowed to see inside the hospital, the things that were happening. People were being promised food, water, a bath, everything they had need of if they took the mark. Many took it and were then escorted to a cafeteria-type room where they were allowed to eat. Those that did not accept it, were killed. In the vision, I turned to my husband and said "You know what this means, don't you?" He replied "Yes, it is the mark." To that I responded, "I am making my stand for the Lord." I then turned and started singing praises to the Lord at the top of my voice. I continued to sing praises as I left the line that had formed, and began to walk away when I was shot dead. The Lord spoke to me in this vision and said "Well done, my good and faithful servant." I believe with every fiber of my being that the mark of the beast is BOTH a physical and spiritual one. Spiritually, those who are not right with God and have hardened their hearts against Him, have already denied Him. Physically, it is a manifestation of what is already in their hearts. Yes, there will be those who will choose to take the mark, when it becomes worldwide. There will be those who under distress, who will accept it becauce their faith is not in Him, but in the things of a dying world. Noone knows the day nor the hour, but we are told to prepare ourselves as the bride, preparing for her bridegroom's return. The mark that is to come, and all it implies, is to be the world's final stand. Whom do we serve? We can only serve one Master. The mark is the final acceptance of the Lord, or the final denial of Him. The mark is real. It is not a metaphor. I pray we all prepare ourselves for those things to come, that we may stand victorious! Glory to God. ![]() I edited this message, adding the 6th paragraph, as it occured to me that I had left it out, only after coming back online and noticing I had omitted it, unintentionally. |

God also tells us more specifically tho too- II Thes. 2:2-4, Paul, by the Holy Spirit, warns us not to be shaken in mind, but to know that Christ's return is "at hand"- translated means- very close to occurring- imminent. 3- That no one should decieve us by any means, for Christ's return won't come, until there is a "falling away first", or (an apostacy from Christianity). and "the man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition". 4- Calling himself God and exalting himself above all that is called God, etc. So, we can know then, at the least, the anti-christ will be revealled, but nothing said of the "Mark of the Beast", which surely will come later. But, according to God's Word, once the anti-christ appears and is publicly known, it will only be 7 years from the day he takes power of the "one world government" before Christ then bodily returns to earth the second time, as King og Kings ad Lord of Lords. God Bless!! |
