Rev 13:8
All inhabitants of the earth will worship the beast--all whose names have not been written in the book of life belonging to the Lamb that was slain from the creation of the world.

Darkness is emerging.
If you have eyes that see, you can see a storm approaching.
If you have ears that hear, you can hear the rumblings.
A storm that brings;
a deluge of lies,
a flood of deception,
and overflowing treachery.
~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~~~ ~~~~~~ ~~~~
Dan 11:22 And with the arms of a flood shall they be overflown from before him, and shall be broken; yea, also the prince of the covenant.
Dan 11:23 And after the league made with him he shall work deceitfully: for he shall come up, and shall become strong with a small people.

I am not afraid of the beast because I walk in the path of my Lord Jesus Christ. I have a slight hunch that the European Union just might be the birth place of this "New World Order" concept, but then, I would wait until the Jewish temple is rebuilt before I judge whether or not the End times are near. I would rather focus my energy on building my relationship with God than trying to foresee the inevitable.

Rev. 13:8 And all those who dwell on the earth will worship it; the name of not one of them stands written in the scroll of life of the Lamb who was slaughtered, from the founding of the world.
read on, in the next verse:
9 If anyone has an ear, let him hear. 10 If anyone [is meant] for captivity, he goes away into captivity. If anyone will kill with the sword, he must be killed with the sword. Here is where it means the endurance and faith of the holy ones.

Yes every minute that goes by brings the world closer to the end-times.
Look at all the people that go without food, clothing and shelter. Wars, terror, famine, drugs, homeless, violence etc.... The father of lies is all around trying to build his army. This does not mean it will happen today or tomorrow. But as we have been taught, stay on your guard, no one but the Father in heaven knows the date and time of Jesus return.

Like a thief in the night, my friend. No matter how hard you try to predict the Second Coming, you'll never know for sure...all you can do is live your life as a child and servant of God and know that He will return one day.

What is emerging is "Acceptable immoral behavior" Like promiscuity, drugs, smart mouth talk. Look at Paris, Nicole and Brittany, to name a few. It's really growing and really scary. What to do??????????

Isn't it great for you.... you'll have all that space and no-one to play with!
Either that, or you'll get to the summerlands and say "What the heck is this? I thought there were streets of gold and a great big mansion!"
Sorry that you have to go around again and loose a bit of arrogance.

I have no worry because I have Jesus as my Lord and Savior and I know that my name is in the book of life according to His Word.

We are living in what is refered to as "the End of this System of Things". (Matthew 24) Jesus was (at that time) relating to an end of a system that was lived in by ancient Jews, because not long after this prophetic statement, Jerusalem was devastated and brought to ruin. History books attest to this fact. But what was also being referred to by Jesus at that time, was that there would be another System of Things that would mark the End to all Rulership by mankind. This Rulership was prophesied as being a Wild Beast, which had many heads. The heads represented World Powers that had a direct impact on Christianity as well...such as the Babylonian, Medo-Persian, Greek, Roman, and so on down to the Anglo-American world powers. Each of these world powers also affected any True Christianity that may have existed during this time. Though over the years, True Christianity became overshadowed by pagan practices,and many religions evolved because of this intermingling of true worship and pagan practices (such as Festival of Lights/Christmas, Easter, Birthdays, etc.)
During Jesus time, it was not difficult to distinguish who was a true worshipper, and who wasn't. Nowadays, with so many different religions - how would you know who is a True Christian, and who isn't? The only way to be able to investigate this is to look at what was practiced during Biblical times..Jesus offered many examples of what is expected of a True Christian. Yet, even the earlier books of the "Old Testament" (as some folks call it) offer insight as to what is expected of Mankind, from their Creator. True worship did not allow worship of idols during the days of the Isrealites...yet many today use the Cross and other idolatries in their worship.
What is interesting is that during Jesus time after his Baptism - he had no intention of being King on Earth (which was really upsetting to the Jews of his Day)...
But Jesus constantly put the emphasis on a Time when God's Kingdom would rule OVER the earth - so Jesus purpose was not to just offer his life for our sins, but also was to preach about God's Kingdom (Jehovah, as we know it)...and God's intention of bringing about wonderful changes that mankind would benefit from during this Heavenly Rule. How do you think we know we are one of those people? who could benefit from God's rulership over the earth?
People who die - do not go to heaven...but wait for a time when all those in the memorial tombs 'will hear his name, and be resurrected." Eccleciastes tells us that the Dead are conscious of nothing at all....When a person dies, it is AS IF they are in a sleepless like state, but truth is - they are gone, to dust you came and to dust you will return. The only thing that is left is a memory that God is capable of knowing who you are.
God's purpose was to have a Paradise Earth, and Jesus spoke of this time, showing that this original purpose will be fulfilled "On Earth, as it is in Heaven". Matthew 6:10 - obviously speaking of the intention of creating changes UPON the earth, as they have come to be in Heaven.
Before this change of God's Kingdom could come to the Earth - Heaven had to clean out Satan and his demons. So Satan was to be hurled down to the earth , creating havoc for mankind...such has been the state of this world since 1914, and onward to our present day. As Revelation brings out, he walks the earth like a Lion seeking to devour all those in his path...
Also, Revelation 21:4,5 - speaks of a time when God will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more. DEATH - will be no more. If there is no more Death - then people will live on Earth (not heaven). Psalm 37 speaks of the Meek inheriting the EARTH. Once again - death is no more.
God will rightfully bring about peaceful conditions on Earth, for all of those who's heart condition is toward peace and living in the way God intended.
