Revelation 13:1-8
Then I stood on the sand of the sea. And I saw a beast rising up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and on his horns ten crowns, and on his heads a blasphemous name. Now the beast which I saw was like a leopard, his feet were like the feet of a bear, and his mouth like the mouth of a lion. The dragon gave him his power, his throne, and great authority. And I saw one of his heads as if it had been mortally wounded, and his deadly wound was healed. And all the world marveled and followed the beast. So they worshiped the dragon who gave authority to the beast; and they worshiped the beast, saying, “Who is like the beast? Who is able to make war with him?”
And he was given a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies, and he was given authority to continue for forty-two months. Then he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme His name, His tabernacle, and those who dwell in heaven. It was granted to him to make war with the saints and to overcome them. And authority was given him over every tribe, tongue, and nation. All who dwell on the earth will worship him, whose names have not been written in the Book of Life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
The day is coming when these scriptures will be fulfilled and the world as we know it today will be changed forever. We see that Satan will give the beast his power, throne, and great authority to do his will in these last days. It will also be granted to the beast to make war with the saints and overcome them, he will be given authority over every nation on the face of the earth and ALL who dwell on the earth WILL worship him, all except those whose names are written in the Lamb's book of life. Do you understand the magnitude of this revelation?
The day is coming when there will be no more worship of other gods because multitudes will worship the beast and Satan as their god. There will be no more you do your thing and I'll do mine, no more atheists and no more fence riding, either you will worship the beast and his image, receive the mark of the beast and perish or your name will be written in the Lamb's book of life. One or the other!
I can already perceive many things that the Lord has ordained and allowed in the last few years that have made the separation between His people and Satan's a little clearer. And when the beast is revealed all will know who the true saints of God are!
Another thing to take note of this: Even if one doesn't worship the beast and his image or take his mark, the false prophet will have that one killed and if they were not in Christ their immortal soul will enter Hell where they will await the great white throne judgment of God! Now shouldn't all of us professing Christians make sure of our calling and election? Shouldn't we make sure our names are written in the Lamb's book of life? We most certainly should!
In Jesus Name,
