As humans, we show kindness, justice, intelligence and other noble attributes. Since it is unlikely that a Creator would be inferior to that which he created, isn’t it likely that He would have similar or superior qualities? Wouldn’t you expect that such an intelligent Creator would want to communicate with His intelligent creature?

God could choose to speak directly, through angels, or through visions and dreams. He could communicate any way He wanted to. A method that would ensure long-term results, and be passed on from one generation to the next, would be to create a written revelation that could be duplicated and distributed throughout the world.

Bible Unity

The Bible, actually a library of 66 books, was written over a period of 1500 years by about 40 different authors. It covers topics such as creation, history, prophecy and God’s plan for the world, without any apparent internal contradiction. Parts of the Bible are over 3,000 years old, and it contains the oldest and the most reliable records of ancient history ever written. The Bible claims to have, ultimately, one author, God, who chose to communicate appropriately at various times through many different kinds of people. The inspired writer to the Hebrews says,

“God, who at various times and in various ways spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets, has in these last days spoken to us by His Son…” (Hebrews 1:1-2) [NKJV]

100% Accuracy of Bible Prophecies

People try to guess about the future. But there is only one God who has the ability to foretell events in the distant future in detail, testifying to the reliability of His Word, and giving evidence of His existence. God said through Isaiah,

“Ask Me of things to come concerning My sons; And concerning the work of My hands… For I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like Me, Declaring the end from the beginning, And from ancient times things that are not yet done…” (Isaiah 45:11; 46:9-11) [NKJV]

Although the Bible is the most read and most published book of all time, few realize that up to 30% of the Bible is prophecy. Some of these prophecies remain to be fulfilled in the future. The rest have been fulfilled with 100% accuracy. A book that foretells incidents concerning people, places and events with 100% accuracy could only be the product of something supernatural. Psalm 22, for example, describes the crucifixion of Christ, yet was written 1,000 years before Jesus was born, and at least 600 years before crucifixion existed. Another prophecy was written decades before its fulfilment, when Jeremiah claimed that Israel would be taken into captivity for a period of 70 years by the Babylonians. In another prophecy, Ezekiel foresaw the exact year in which Israel would be established as a nation, 2,500 years before it happened.

Fulfilled Bible Prophecies

Another Bible prophecy that has been largely fulfilled already is Daniel’s description of the sequence of world empires that would come to power, from his time until the close of the age. Many historians were convinced that, because these prophecies were so detailed, they had to have been written after these events occurred. When archaeologists recently uncovered copies of the Book of Daniel that predated these events, they had to re-think their conclusions. Other fulfilled Bible prophecies include the destruction of the Temple in 70 A.D., the disbursement and re-gathering of Israel as a nation, and the “suffering servant” Messiah.

Bible Prophecies about the Messiah

There are dozens of specific Bible prophecies in the Old Testament that pertain to the arrival of the Savior of Israel. All of these prophecies were fulfilled in Jesus of Nazareth. These Messianic prophecies contain details about His birthplace, His ancestors, the exact year of His “triumphal entry” at the Temple, and His execution. It is said that the life of Jesus fulfilled over 300 Bible prophecies concerning the first coming of Christ, as a suffering Messiah.

In Him, We Live

About two thousand years ago, the Apostle Paul noticed that the people of Athens apparently acknowledged that some higher power must have created everything. They created hundreds of gods and temples to these gods, struggled to please them all, and even made a temple to “the unknown god,” in case they missed something. Paul told a group of Greek philosophers,

“God, who made the world and everything in it, since He is Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples made with hands. Nor is He worshipped with men’s hands, as though He needed anything since He gives to all life, breath, and all things. And He has made from one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the face of the earth, and has determined their per-appointed times and the boundaries of their dwellings, so that they should seek the Lord, in the hope that they might grope for Him and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us; for in Him we live and move and have our being, as also some of your own poets have said, ‘For we are also His offspring.’” (Acts 17:24-28) [NKJV]

God made the world, lives everywhere, and gave life to us and every creature. Our DNA shows that all men share the same ancestry. Paul showed the well-educated Greeks that the same God that they had been trying to reach has never been far away. It is mankind that moved away from God. Our very existence, every moment we are alive, depends upon the presence of God.

Intelligent, scholarly sceptics, who have attempted to disprove the Bible and the existence of God, find overwhelming evidence that the Bible is true and that God is the author. We can depend on the Word of God to be a reliable book that not only accurately describes past and future events, but also answers the issues of our daily lives, including the existence of God Himself.

We will analyze these prophesied wars, which occur in the very near future, on this edition of “End of the Age.”

Two nuclear wars, it’s almost hard to imagine, isn’t it? I really don’t–this is one of the prophecies, very ominous,and I don’t even really like talking about it. But that’s right, it’s right there in your Bible. This world is headed straight for not one, but two nuclear wars. Does the Bible really prophesy two nuclear wars for the times just ahead? It’s unthinkable, but the prophecy in Zechariah 14 details events that will occur in the world’s last war, the battle of Armageddon. And I’m going to start there.

Zechariah 14 verse 12 unmistakably teaches that nuclear weapons will be used in this last battle. The Bible says, “And this shall be the plague wherewith the LORD will smite all the people that have fought against Jerusalem; Their flesh shall consume away while they stand on their feet, and their eyes shall consume away in their holes, and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth.” The physical symptoms that this passage states will be suffered by those who come against Jerusalem at Armageddon are the exact same symptoms experienced by victims of nuclear radiation. Their eyes are consumed in their sockets, tongues in their mouths, and flesh falling off of their bones.

 It is the world’s worst-kept secret that Israel has significant nuclear arsenal. I mean, “Jane’s Intelligence Review” places the number of Israel’s nuclear missiles at around 200. The Israelis have promised that they will never resort to their nuclear option unless their existence and the state of Israel is threatened. Israel’s nuclear capacity is known as “the Samson option.” Why “the Samson option”?

Well, you know the story of Samson in the Bible. Samson begged God to allow his great strength to return to him one last time, after he had lost his strength because he was deceived by Delilah, and his hair was cut. His strength was taken from him, but he asked God, “Lord, let it return one more time,” and God did grant Samson’s request; and as a result, in the end, he pulled down the house of the Philistine lords, killing himself and 3,000 of the enemy’s leaders. So, when Israel picked the name, “the Samson option,” she was notifying the world that, “Hey, if Israel goes down, we will take all of our enemies with us.” And apparently, things will become so bad during the battle of Armageddon that Israel’s going to resort to “the Samson,” or the nuclear option. So, folks, yes, the world’s last war will be nuclear.
 
  The “Times of Israel” reported that at Israel’s nuclear facility, Dimona, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke at a ceremony renaming the nuclear reactor down in Dimona. Now, I’ve been– we’ve been to Israel. When we ask the guides, “What’s Dimona?” they’ll say, “Oh, that’s just a textile factory.” They keep everything under wraps. But while Netanyahu was down there speaking and renaming the nuclear reactor, which is really what Dimona is, to the Shimon Perez Negev Nuclear Research Center, after the late Israeli statesman back in–when was it–August of 2018, as a warning to Iran and others, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that any country that threatens to destroy Israel risks meeting the similar fate, while vowing to continue taking action against the Islamic Republic’s military presence. Israel has never acknowledged possessing nuclear weapons, but instead has maintained a policy of strategic ambiguity; however, Israel, in fact, does have nuclear weapons. Netanyahu said that, “Our enemies, now, they know very well what Israel’s capable of doing.

They are familiar with our policy. Whoever tries to hurt Israel, we will hurt them.” So, he said, “I’m describing a persistent, clear, and determined policy backed by appropriate deployment, equipment, preparedness, and, in the hour of need, appropriate orders.” And he said that the Israeli military will continue to take action against Iran’s military and issued an emphatic warning against those who call for Israel’s annihilation, such as the Islamic Republic has done many times, over and over.

 He said, “Whoever threatens us with destruction puts himself in a similar danger, and in any case, will not achieve that goal.” So, folks, the world’s last war, the battle of Armageddon, will be nuclear. Now, the other nuclear war–yes, we’ve got to talk about–there’s going to be another one that will precede the battle of Armageddon. Why talk about it now? Because it’s time. The first five trumpets have already occurred, and this war, this World War III, is the sixth trumpet in the book of Revelation. So, there is a question. Is Iran and Israel headed for a war, possibly a nuclear war? I mean, many of you have heard the news articles and read them lately. Israel may have to go it alone against the nuclear-armed Iran. Does Israel feel compelled to launch a strike at Iran’s nuclear sites? Iran will have nuclear weapons if Biden re-enters the JCPOA, the Joint Comprehensive Plan or Action, or the Iran Nuclear 2015 deal. Iran just weeks away from enough fissile material for making a nuclear bomb, or the stage is set for possible Israel-Iran clash. How will Biden respond? Israel defense force is drawing up plans to strike Iran’s nuclear program. Israel, their military chief says that plans to attack Iran are on the table, if it’s decided politically. Or Israel’s vows, “Never again,” at the holocaust memorial.

I must say that an Israel-Iran nuclear conflict is strictly speculation, but it’s not out of the question. There could be many ways and places that this could start. We know it’s gonna start along the Euphrates River region, so I watch Iran all the time, ’cause it appears, and many believe, that we’ve been in war with Iran for decades now, and it’s just not escalated to the point where there would be mass casualties. But at least the 3 1/2 years before the battle of Armageddon–these are two separate wars–maybe longer, another war is going to occur. The prophecy foretelling this war found in Revelation 9, verse 13 through 16, the Bible says, “Then the sixth angel sounded: And I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before God, saying to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, ‘Release the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates.’ So, the four angels, who had been prepared for an hour, a day, a month, and a year, they werereleased to kill a third of mankind.

Now the number of the army of the horsemen were two hundred million; and I heardthe number of them.” So, it does not explicitly state that this war will be nuclear, but the results of the war indicate that it will have to be. One-third of the world’s population destroyed. So, the four angels, who had been prepared for an hour, a day, a month, and a year, they were released to kill a third of all of mankind. We’ve never seen anything likethat on the earth, a war that kills one-third of mankind, and now the number of the army, the million, and I heard the number of them. So, the prophecy states that a war is coming, gonna kill one-third of all of mankind. And, you know, taken at face value, this means that 2.5 to, what, 2.7 billion people are going to die in this war, and there’s only one weaponpresently available to mankind that could reap this level of death and havoc and devastation, nuclear bomb, folks. And then think about it. In verses–in Revelation chapter 9, verses 17 through 19, I have a question.

Do you think this isdescribing nuclear warfare? Listen at it: Revelation 9:17-19, John said, “And thus I saw the horse in the vision: and those who sat upon them had breastplates of fiery red, hyacinth blue, and sulfur yellow; and the heads of the horses were like the heads of lions; and out of their mouths came fire, smoke, and brimstone. And it was by these three plagues a third of all of mankind was killed–by the fire and the smoke and the brimstone which came out of their mouths.” Now, you remember, John is–this prophecy is given 2,000 years ago. He had never seen a nuclear bomb. He’d never seen a bomb, never heard of anything like that. So, he’s doing his best 2,000 years ago to describe modern-day warfare. He says, “For their power–”

He might be seeing nuclear bombs come across, and he says, “For their power is in their mouth and in their tails; for their tails are like serpents, having heads; and with them they do harm.” So, I can’t say with certainty John was describing nuclear weapons in this passage; however, with the understanding of the prophecy and the amount of casualties from this war, it is definitely something that we have to consider, that this would be a nuclear war, very highly likely. And we’re also told that one of the armies involved in this war is going to number two hundred million soldiers. The other army that will
participate in the war will almost certainly be the only nation on earth that has the nuclear arsenal capable of wreaking this kind of death and destruction, besides Russia, and that’s the United States. And this prophesied conflict is obviously–it’s going to be the biggest, the most horrible war that the world has ever known, much bigger than the battle of Armageddon.

This is going to be a global war. It’s going to start in the Middle East region, spread out around the world, but the battle of Armageddon is going to be centralized right there in Israel. Bible is very clear on that. So, this war is going to be much bigger with much more devastation than the battle of Armageddon. So, another question: Where will the six trumpet war lead to at the end, the culmination of this war, when the smoke clears? What’s going to be the state of the world, the mindset of the world after this? We’ve never seen anything like it. I mean, all of us would agree that the world has not been the same since even 3,000 fatalities after 9/11, right? It changed the world. Look at how, when you go to fly, enter a federal building, anything like that. National IDs around the world. off since 9/11, especially herein the United States. And–but think about it. What quantum changes will undoubtedly occur when mankind awakens to this unbelievable chaos of 2.5
to 2.7 billion corpses? Well, you can be assured that our world is gonna change forever. I mean, the cries will be deafening for a world government with teeth, with enforcement methods that can prevent a war like this from ever happening again.
I mean, there will be nations that say to the United Nations, “Hey, we’ll yield up all of our our allegiance to you, if you’ll just keep this horrible event from ever happening again, a world war.” I mean, the horror of what has happened will create the perfect platform for the antichrist and the false prophet to rise to power. The same unprecedented destruction that will drive millions into the arms of the antichrist will drive others towards a true relationship with God. I mean, the biblical Christians will be motivated to levels of total commitment not witnessed on the earth since the early church, and the result is going to be great revival. Read Revelation chapter 7. It’s the revival chapter in the book of Revelation.

So, while some people are just going straight into the arms of the antichrist, other people will be going straight into the arms of the real Christ and turning to the Lord in time of need, turning to Jesus Christ after the most chaotic situation, the most chaotic war, with the most casualties ever in the history of mankind, rather than turning to the arms of the antichrist, which is the wrong thing to do. So, the next question is, what should we be doing, as Christians? Well, the unspeakable conditions that will result from this prophesied war, they’re capable of striking horrible–or I should say horror in the heart of the bravest human beings. I mean, it is the time to head for the hills. I mean, some people would say that. Just, “let’s go to Colorado, buy up a bunch of property, and dig a hole, and bury ourselves in it.” But what should be the mindset of Christians at this unprecedented junction in human history?

I mean, should that be the mindset of Christians, just go hide in a foxhole? No, Jesus said that we are the salt of the earth. He said that we are the light of the world. And it is time to remove the light–is it time to remove the light, when, just when the world is going to need it the most? Well, of course not. Jesus told us that, “Where sin doth abound, grace doth much more abound.” Can you see the disciples hiding in a foxhole beyond the book of Acts? No way. They were bold. In the face of a world government, they went out, and they filled Jerusalem with their doctrine, and they were witnesses in Judea, Samaria, and unto the uttermost parts of the world, into Jerusalem. So, the world was in great darkness when Jesus came to the earth the first time. Matthew 4:16 spoke of that time concerning the coming of Jesus. It said, “The people which sat in darkness saw a great light. And them which sat in the region and shadow of death, light is sprung up.”

So, the world is once again in darkness, as we near the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. And of our time, this time that we’re living in right now, the end time, the prophet Daniel prophesied and said, “And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he,” the antichrist, “corrupt by flatteries: but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits. And they that understand among the people shall instruct many,” for the times that are just ahead of us. So, the church is not going to be a weak, anemic group of people that are scared to death, running around in just an utter chaos mode. That’s not the church of the end time. Daniel prophesied and said, “Hey, they that do know their God are going to be strong, and they’re going to do exploits.”

And there is a prophesied great time of revival ahead of us. In the troubled times that lie just ahead, the true church of Jesus Christ will be able to hold forth the wonderful promise of eternal life in a world awash with death. And when the final chapter of the church age is written, the caption will undoubtedly read, “It was their finest hour.” Now, the next question that comes up is: When? When will these wars happen? At what time, on a timeline, or how far away are they? Well, the battle of Armageddon is the easiest to place on a timeline.

If I was drawing a big timeline on the wall in back of me or had a big screen here with a timeline on it, the battle of Armageddon is really easy, where to place it. The battle of Armageddon occurs at the end of the great tribulation, which is also when the wrath of God is poured out. In Revelation chapter 16, verse 1 through 16, Revelation 16 tells you about the seven vials of the wrath of God. In verse 1, the Bible says, “And I heard a great voice out of the temple saying to the seven angels, Go your ways, and pour out the vials of the wrath of God upon the earth.” That’s Revelation 16, verse 1. And then in verses 2 through 14, the first six vials of God’s wrath are poured out. And then the sixth vial is where the great river Euphrates is dried up, to make where the kings of the earth to come down against Israel for the battle of Armageddon.

That’s all the way down to verse 14, but in verse 15 the Bible says, “Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.” This is the Second Coming of Jesus Christ, right there at the battle of Armageddon. 1 Thessalonians 5, verses 1 through 2, the apostle Paul said, “Hey, but of the times and seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you, for yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord,” when the Lord is going to pour his wrath out, and that’s his second coming, he says, “for yourselves know perfectly the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.” This is what Revelation 16:15 is referring to. “Behold, I come as a thief.” And then in the very next verse, 16, the Bible says, “And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue, Armageddon.” Armageddon will originate in the plain of Megiddo, in northern Israel, and then that’s where the battle will be engaged, and then they will fight down the Jordan Valley and up, and the battle will culminate in the valley of Jehoshaphat, right there between the Mount of Olives and the Temple Mount, right outside Jerusalem.

And–I should say the old city of Jerusalem. And so that’s the battle of Armageddon. It’s right at the end of the great tribulation period, right at the end of the final seven years. You say, “Well, okay, what about the sixth trumpet, this other nuclear war that’s going to happen?” Well, the Bible says that it will happen sometime before the great tribulation. The great tribulation begins 3 1/2 years before the battle of Armageddon and the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. I know that some people have taught that Revelation chapter 9, verse 13 through 21, this sixth trumpet war is the same as the battle of Armageddon. That’s not what the Bible teaches. They’re two separate wars.

And Daniel chapter 7, verse 25, tells us this explicitly. It says the little horn, the antichrist, will make war against the saints for time, times, and half a time. So, a time is one year, times is two years, and half a time is a half a year. And then Revelation 13:5 says the same thing, but it states the time in a different way. It says, “Power was given unto him,” who? The antichrist, “to continue 42 months.” And it doesn’t say 3 1/2 years there. It says 42 months, which is 3 1/2 years, and he makes war against the saints and prevails against them. So, time, times, and half a times from Daniel 7:25 is referring to the exact same amount of time as the 42 months referenced in Revelation 13:5. Now, additionally, Revelation, what, 12:6 says the dragon makes war against the woman, Israel, for 1,260 days; 1,260 days, again, is 3 1/2 years.

For centuries, the symbols and prophecies within the book of Revelation have perplexed Christians and unbelievers around the world. At the time it was written, this book was meant to reveal Jesus Christ as King; but for many, the book of Revelation has been misunderstood and misinterpreted.

What are the messages, and warnings, God chose to conclude “His Book”—the most important book ever written, which has the very words to eternal life? We will analyze “Final Chapter” of God’s Word on this edition of End of the Age!

Revelation 21 reveals the New Jerusalem is the bride of Christ—the church. We also learn there are two Jerusalem's: the physical Jerusalem located in the land of Israel and the spiritual Jerusalem being constructed as God gives birth to His church.

Throughout that chapter, God is describing the New Jerusalem to John:

The Church is the Tabernacle of God – In the great sermon preached by the first martyr Stephen just before he was stoned, he said, “Howbeit the most High dwelleth not in temples made with hands; as saith the prophet,” (Acts 7:48).

The One escorting John said, “I will show you the bride.” We come to the central purpose of Revelation 21:9-10, “And there came unto me one of the seven angels which had the seven vials full of the seven last plagues, and talked with me, saying, Come hither, I will shew thee the bride, the Lamb’s wife. And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and shewed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God,”

When Jesus promised to show John the bride, the Lamb’s wife, He showed him the holy Jerusalem. In this scripture we have absolute proof the bride is the holy Jerusalem.

The New Jerusalem has 12 Gates
The New Jerusalem has 12 Foundations
The symbolic measurements of the New Jerusalem
Adorned with precious stones and streets of gold as it were transparent glass.
No Sun or Moon in the City – Jesus will be the light!
The Gates of the New Jerusalem will Never be Shut

This brings us to Chapter 22.

BEHOLD I COME QUICKLY!

John continues to describe the New Jerusalem in Revelation 22:1, “And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.”

When Jesus met the woman at the well in John 4:10, He asked her for water to drink. She questioned Him asking her for a drink since He was a Jew and she was a Samaritan. He answered her in John 4:10, “Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water.”


Jesus explained further about the living water in John 4:13-14, “Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again: But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.”

Jesus also spoke of the living water on the last day of the Feast of Tabernacles in John 7:37-39, “In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink. He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)”


Jesus explicitly stated the living water was His Spirit, the gift of the Holy Ghost. As verse 39 explains, at the time He spoke of this living water, it was not yet given because His Spirit only became available after He was glorified.


Revelation 22:2 goes on to describe the Tree of Life which grew beside the River of Life. We first see the Tree of Life in the midst of the Garden of Eden when Adam and Eve were created. Once they disobeyed God by eating from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, they were forbidden from eating of the Tree of Life lest they should live forever.


To the saved who will dwell in the New Jerusalem, they will be given open access to the Water of Life and the Tree of Life. The Tree of Life is described in Revelation 22:2, “In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.”


Notice the leaves of the Tree of Life were for the healing of the nations. This is simply reminding us again that there will be no sickness, no pain and no death in the New Jerusalem.



Revelation 22:3-4 provides more information about the wonders of the New Jerusalem, “And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him: And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads.”



When this passage says there will be no more curse, it is because Jesus bore the curse for us. Galatians 3:13 says, “Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree.”



The passage also reveals we will be the Lamb’s servants and will serve Him. We will have access to His presence continually. I Thessalonians 4:17, “And so shall we ever be with the Lord.” Revelation 22:4 continues to say we shall see His face and His name shall be in our foreheads. Jesus’ name is placed in our foreheads when we are baptized in His name.



John concludes his record of the vision of the New Jerusalem in Revelation 22:5, “And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever.”



Just imagine no need for the sun or electricity or for any artificial light! For we will dwell in His presence and He is the light! Finally, we are reminded again we shall reign with Jesus Christ forever and forever!



In Revelation 22, we will hear the admonition of God Himself as He issues His final words designed for those of us who live in the end time, the day of His return to the earth.



As we learned in the last chapter, the first five verses of chapter 22 continue to describe the glories of the New Jerusalem. Then this final chapter of Revelation restates the purpose for which this last book of the Bible was given. Revelation 22:6 declares the purpose very clearly, “And he said unto me, These sayings are faithful and true: and the Lord God of the holy prophets sent his angel to shew unto his servants the things which must shortly be done.”



Jesus said He sent His angel to show His servants the things that must shortly come to pass. Our Lord wants His servants to know what the future holds.



Our new series, Revelation – The Unveiling of Jesus Christ Volume 1 and 2, was created to give understanding to all who desire to know the things that will soon come to pass.



In this sixth verse we are also told the identity of the one who has been talking to John throughout the vision. God said He “sent His angel” to show us the things that must come to pass.



Revelation 22:7 gives us the theme of the final chapter of the last book of the Bible, “Behold, I come quickly: blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book.” Many people have questioned why the declaration, “Behold, I come quickly” would be made when the Book of Revelation was written almost 2,000 years ago. This scripture saying, “Behold, I come quickly,” has proven true for each generation since the Book of Revelation was given to John. Jesus has been calling individuals home for over 2,000 years and it always seems to come too quickly. As James 4:14 says,



“…For what is your life? It is even a vapor, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.”



As the generation who will soon see the physical return of Jesus to the earth, the words have never rung truer, “Behold, I come quickly!” Three times in this closing chapter of the Holy Scriptures, God repeats the phrase, “Behold, I come quickly.” This leaves no doubt the overriding purpose of this final book of Scripture is to warn us to be ready for His coming.



After saying, “Behold, I come quickly,” Jesus went on to say, “Blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book.” What does He mean by this statement? How can we keep the sayings of the prophecies given in the Book of Revelation?



In chapters 2 and 3 of Revelation, messages are given straight from Jesus to the seven churches of Asia. We are told what they were doing right and what they were doing wrong. We should learn from these messages and adjust our conduct accordingly.



In chapter 6 of Revelation, the four spirits that seek to control the human race, Catholicism, Communism, Capitalism and Islamism are revealed. We should understand these forces and not allow our lives to be controlled by them.



What about Capitalism? It’s okay to have money, just don’t let the love of it control you. 1 Timothy 6:10, “For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.”



In chapter 7, God devotes this entire chapter to the great Jewish-Gentile revival that will be poured out in the end time. By revealing this revival to us, Jesus wants us to prepare to participate in this final harvest just before His Second Coming.



The church should be in a perpetual state of evangelism—preaching and teaching the Gospel of the Kingdom of God around the world. Matthew 24;14, “And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.”



In chapters 8-11, the Seven Trumpets are given to us so we can understand the world-changing events that are happening all around us. Jesus told us in Matthew 24:6, “And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.”



Although we are living through the events prophesied in the Seven Trumpets, Jesus told us not to be troubled by all these climactic events. He was saying we should stay on course and accomplish what He has called us to do in reaping the final harvest.



In chapter 12, we are given an overview of events from the birth of Christ all the way to the end of the Great Tribulation. In verse 14 of this chapter, it is revealed that the eagle (the U.S.) will stand with Israel against the entire world in the end time. This information should give the United States confidence to stand against the Antichrist and his world government though most of the nations of the world will be against us.



Chapter 13 clearly reveals to us Satan’s plan for the last days. We are shown the Antichrist and his world government, the False Prophet and his world religion and the enforcement mechanism of Satan’s plan to cause all people to worship him. This enforcement mechanism is called the Mark of the Beast.



God exposes Satan’s masterplan, which is the establishment of his physical kingdom on the earth, in this chapter and it is of eternal consequence to participate in it.



It is the understanding of these prophecies, which lets us know you 1) Should never pledge allegiance to a world government or it’s leader 2) Never be part of the huge move towards a world religion, interfaithism or ecumenism 3) Place a mark of identification on your person.



In chapter 14, we are told all who worship the Antichrist and receive the Mark of the Beast will be tormented forever and forever in the presence of the Lamb and His holy angels. The chapter then concludes with an account of the Two Harvests, the harvest of the wheat and the harvest of the tares. This gives us Revelation’s third account of the Rapture of the church and the Battle of Armageddon.



Chapters 15-16 record the coming Wrath of God that will be poured out upon His enemies during the Battle of Armageddon.



After these chapters, God interrupts the flow of the Book of Revelation to interject the account of His judgment that will be poured out upon false Christianity.



Chapters 17 and 18 are devoted to the judgment of Mystery Babylon and all of her daughters. His warning to all of us is given in Revelation 18:4, “…Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.”



Revelation 19:7 gives us the final account of the Rapture and the Battle of Armageddon, “Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honor to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.”



In chapter 20, we see the binding of Satan for 1,000 years, the millennial reign of Jesus and His church and the Great White Throne of Judgement.



When we arrive at chapter 21, we are told in no uncertain terms the New Jerusalem is a portrayal of the bride. The angel said to John in Revelation 21:9-10, “…Come hither, I will shew thee the bride, the Lamb’s wife. And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and shewed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God.” The rest of the chapter then goes on to describe many of the wonderful attributes of the church.



The Book of Revelation is finalized in Revelation 22:6-21. We are told many things in these last 16 verses.



Worship No One Else but God



After seeing all the visions and prophecies given to him in the Book of Revelation, John was overwhelmed. Revelation 22:8-9 reveals his reaction, “And I John saw these things, and heard them. And when I had heard and seen, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel which shewed me these things. Then saith he unto me, See thou do it not: for I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them which keep the sayings of this book: worship God.”



John’s impulse was to fall at the feet of the angel that had shown him all of these incredible revelations. The angel immediately reproved him and reminded him of a truth none of us should ever forget! The angel said, “Worship God.” When Jesus was tempted by Satan to worship him in Matthew 4:10, Jesus quoted the words of the First Commandment, “…Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.”



We all must forever remember there is one and only one God. Never worship anyone else! Never pray to anyone else!



The Time is at Hand



In Revelation 22:10, the angel speaking with John said unto him, “…Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book: for the time is at hand.”



Many people have questioned the statement “the time is at hand” since the Book of Revelation was written almost 2,000 years ago. Why did the angel say, “The time is at hand?” This statement is true because the Book of Revelation covers the entire 2,000 years from the time it was written until now. The seven churches to whom God sent messages in chapters 2 and 3 existed at the time Revelation was being written.



In chapter 5, we are shown Heaven before Jesus came to the earth as a Lamb. Then we see the Lamb as it had been slain.



Afterwards, we see the prophecy of the Four Horsemen representing the four spirits that would control the nations of the earth from Christ until His Second Coming. All of these things explain why the angel instructed John to not seal up the book because the time is at hand.



The Last-Minute Call



It appears Revelation 22:11-20 is specifically directed at the people who will be on earth at the time of the conclusion of the events of the Book of Revelation. Revelation 22:11-12 seems to speak to those who are living right before the time of the Rapture, “He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still. And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.”



Think of that moment when the last sermon has been preached, the last altar invitation has been given, the last prayer has been prayed and every person’s eternal destination has been locked in! Those who are unjust will remain unjust and those who are filthy will face eternity in their filthy condition. Those who have lived lives of holiness and righteousness will meet God in their righteous condition. It’s sobering to think about this time but it is a time that will soon come! Jesus then repeats His warning, “Behold, I come quickly!”



In Revelation 22:14-15 it’s almost as though Jesus decides to give one more appeal, “Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city. For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.”



Deuteronomy 30:19 repeats the call made to mankind throughout the Old and New Testaments, “…I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:”



I am the Root and the Offspring of David



Throughout the Book of Revelation, Jesus declares who He really is. From Revelation 1:8 when He declared, “I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty” to Revelation 1:18 where He said, “I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore…”



As He brings His Holy Scriptures to a close in Revelation 22:16, He declares, “…I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.”



How could He claim to be both the root and the offspring of David? Because as Almighty God who created all things, He is the root of David; and as the Son of God, He is the offspring of David!



Whosoever will, Come



Even as the Book of Revelation draws to a close, Jesus is still calling for His prized creation, the human race, to come to salvation. Revelation 22:17, “And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.”



This passage is telling the world God’s Spirit is calling everyone to salvation. The bride (the church) is also saying, “Come.” The most wonderful message of this scripture is “whosoever will” may come. It is not God’s will for anyone to be lost. Whosoever will means whosoever desires to come can be saved. If you want to be saved, you can be!



A Final Warning



God issues a solemn warning in Revelation 22:18-19, “For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.”



It is apparent God did not want the prophecies of the Book of Revelation to be tampered with. He said if anyone added to the prophecies found in Revelation, He would add unto that person the plagues found in the book. He went on to say in verse 19, if anyone would take away the words of the Book of Revelation, God would take away his part out of the Book of Life.



We see a very important truth declared here in verse 19. God warned that a person’s name could be removed from the Book of Life. There are many people who teach once a person’s name is written in the Book of Life, it cannot be removed. However, this verse declares the opposite. This is not stating that anyone besides ourselves can remove our name from the Lamb’s Book of Life. However, it is stating that through our own actions, we could cause our names to be removed from the Lamb’s Book of Life even after they were once written there.



There’s another very important truth that should be learned from verses 18 and 19. Not only should we not add or take away from the Book of Revelation but we should also not alter any of the Scriptures. The Apostle Paul said in II Timothy 3:16, “All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:”



Every one of us should have a deep reverence for the sacredness of God’s Word. We should never attempt to alter it to fit our lifestyle or to justify something we are doing wrong. Psalm 119:89 reveals, “For ever, O Lord, thy word is settled in heaven.”



John concludes this marvelous book in Revelation 22:20-21, “He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.”



For the third time in this final chapter, we receive the warning from Jesus that He is coming quickly. Then John adds his own commentary, “Even so, come, Lord Jesus.” Finally, John signs off with his final salutation, “The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.”



The Book of Revelation was written to be understood!



The Book of Revelation was written by the Apostle John 2,000 years ago. However, he died not understanding the meaning of what he had written. This happened because the Book of Revelation was not for his time. It was given for the present time in which you and I live just before the Second Coming of Jesus to the earth.



The title of the last book of the Bible is, Revelation – The Unveiling of Jesus Christ. The word “revelation” comes from the Greek word “Apocalypsis”, which means the “revealing” or the “unveiling”. The entire Book of Revelation is the dramatization of the Unveiling of Jesus Christ to the world at the time of His Second Coming.



Most of the Book of Revelation has been hidden in mystery for the last 2,000 years. Right now, just before the Rapture, we are understanding things that have never been understood before.



Revelation contains four different accounts of the Unveiling of Jesus to the world. Each of these accounts is preceded by an account of events that will lead up to the Second Coming. Each of these accounts supply a different dramatic view of things that will happen before the Second Coming. It is as though God couldn’t just tell the story once. There will be so many exciting things involved in His Unveiling that He had to record the events from four different perspectives. Each of these four narratives conclude at the same event – the dramatic Second Coming of Jesus to the earth!



The theme of the entire Book of Revelation is found in Revelation 1:7, “Behold, He Cometh.” In Revelation – The Unveiling of Jesus Christ, Volume 2, you will view 11 animated videos portraying the events the Apostle John was shown on the Isle of Patmos. Accompanying these 11 videos is a 268-page hardback book that will assist you in your study of this book written 2,000 years ago for those of us who live in these end times.



Experience with the Apostle John the visions given for the end time. Their meaning will become amazingly clear to you through the animated videos of Revelation – The Unveiling of Jesus Christ. Believe it or not, you will be able to understand what God sent to us by John over 2,000 years ago.

666 Mark of the Beast
MANY YEARS AGO I STOPPED INTO A STORE TO PICK UP A FEW ITEMS THAT I NEEDED.

 

WHEN I WENT THROUGH THE CHECKOUT, THE YOUNG LADY THAT WAS OPERATING THE CASH REGISTER SAID UNDER HER BREATH, “MARK OF THE BEAST.”

 

MY PURCHASE HAD COME TO $6.66.

 

I SAID TO HER, “WHAT DID YOU SAY?”

 

SHE SAID, “NOTHING.”

 

I SAID, “I WAS SURE I HEARD YOU SAY MARK OF THE BEAST.”

 

SHE GRINNED SHEEPISHLY AND SAID, “I DID.”

 

I ASKED, “SO WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT THAT?”

 

SHE SAID, “NOT MUCH.”

 

I REPLIED, “WELL, I KNOW QUITE A BIT ABOUT THAT AND IF YOU’D EVER LIKE TO KNOW MORE ABOUT IT, HERE’S MY CARD.

 

CALL ME SOMETIME, I’LL TELL YOU WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS ABOUT THAT IMPORTANT SUBJECT.”

 

NOW, BY THAT TIME THE LINE WAS BACKING UP BEHIND ME AND I HAD TO MOVE ON.

 

BUT IT’S SO INTERESTING THAT NO MATTER WHO YOU MEET, IF YOU SAY, “666,” ALL OF A SUDDEN THEY KNOW WHAT YOU’RE TALKING ABOUT.

 

THEY TELL ME AT THE DRIVER’S LICENSE BRANCH THAT THEY DON’T EVEN PRINT A LICENSE 666 BECAUSE NOBODY WANTS IT, AND FOR GOOD CAUSE.

 

THE BIBLE PROPHESIES A TIME WHEN EVERY PERSON WILL BE REQUIRED BY THE ANTICHRIST AND HIS WORLD GOVERNMENT TO HAVE A NUMBER.

 

WITHOUT THIS NUMBER, YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO BUY ANYTHING OR SELL ANYTHING.

 

BUT IN ORDER TO GET YOUR NUMBER, YOU WILL BE FORCED TO WORSHIP, OR PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE, TO THE ANTICHRIST AND HIS WORLD GOVERNMENT SYSTEM.

 

NOW, ONE MORE THING THAT’S VERY IMPORTANT.

 

IF YOU PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THE ANTICHRIST, YOU WILL BE ETERNALLY DAMNED ACCORDING TO THE BIBLE.

 

THE SYSTEM THAT THE BIBLE PROPHESIES FOR THE DAYS OF THE ANTICHRIST, FOR THE TIME JUST BEFORE THE SECOND COMING OF JESUS CHRIST, THIS SYSTEM COULD NEVER BE SET UP UNTIL NOW.

 

THE PROPHECY IS 2,000 YEARS OLD, BUT THE FULFILLMENT IS ONLY POSSIBLE RIGHT NOW.

 

ONLY WITH THE INVENTION OF THE COMPUTER, THE BIRTH OF THE INTERNET AND THE USE OF CREDIT CARDS HAS IT BECOME POSSIBLE TO SET UP A SYSTEM WHEREBY EVERY PERSON ON EARTH COULD BE TRACKED AND CONTROLLED ECONOMICALLY.

 

YOU KNOW AS WELL AS I DO THAT THIS NOW HAS BECOME POSSIBLE.

 

HAVE YOU EVER STOOD IN FRONT OF AN ATM MACHINE, OR POSSIBLY USING A CREDIT CARD AT A GAS STATION, YOU SWIPE YOUR CARD AND THE SCREEN SAYS, “AUTHORIZATION FAILED?”

 

WHAT WENT WRONG?

 

YOU’VE GOT TO GET IT FIXED OR YOU DON’T GET ANY GAS, OR MONEY.

 

WHAT CAUSED THE PROBLEM?

 

IT COULD HAVE BEEN TOO MANY PURCHASES THAT DAY, PERHAPS YOU’RE OVER YOUR CREDIT LIMIT, OR MAYBE THERE’S A MISTAKE.

 

BUT THERE IS A DATABASE SOMEWHERE THAT CONTROLS WHETHER YOU CAN USE THAT CARD OR NUMBER TO BUY OR SELL.

 

NOW, THE PROPHECY GIVEN 2,000 YEARS OLD SAID A DAY WOULD COME WHEN YOU WOULD USE A NUMBER IN ORDER TO BUY OR SELL.

 

IT’S BEEN ABSOLUTELY INCOMPREHENSIBLE UNTIL OUR GENERATION.

 

MY PARENTS DIDN’T HAVE CREDIT CARDS WHEN I WAS A CHILD.

 

IT WAS UNHEARD OF.

 

IT JUST SIMPLY DID NOT EXIST.

 

AND YET, THIS PROPHECY IS THERE IN THE BIBLE.

 

I HEARD PREACHERS PREACHING ABOUT IT, THE TIME WILL COME WHEN EVERYONE WILL HAVE TO HAVE A MARK OR A NUMBER IN ORDER TO BE ABLE TO BUY OR SELL.

 

SO, NOW WE HAVE IT.

 

WE HAVE A SYSTEM IN PLACE WHEREBY EVERY PERSON COULD BE GIVEN A NUMBER, AND THAT NUMBER COULD BE USED TO DETERMINE WHETHER YOU CAN PARTICIPATE IN THE ECONOMY OR NOT.

 

NOW, I’M TALKING ABOUT A DATABASE THAT CAN CONTROL THE WORLD.

 

LET ME SAY AT THE VERY BEGINNING OF OUR LESSON TODAY THAT THIS IS POSSIBLY THE MOST IMPORTANT LESSON YOU WILL EVER HEAR IN YOUR ENTIRE LIFE BECAUSE THIS LESSON CAN MEAN THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ETERNAL SALVATION AND ETERNAL DAMNATION.

 

THE PROPHECY STATES THAT YOU WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO BUY OR SELL IF YOU HAVE NOT PLEDGED ALLEGIANCE TO THE ANTICHRIST AND HIS WORLD GOVERNMENT.

 

ONE ENTRY INTO YOUR DATABASE AND YOUR ACCESS TO THE GLOBAL ECONOMY WILL BE CUT OFF.

 

NOW, THINK ABOUT THIS FOR JUST ONE MOMENT.

 

LET’S JUST SAY THAT A WORLD RELIGIOUS SYSTEM WERE SET UP AND EVERYONE HAS TO PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THAT WORLD RELIGIOUS SYSTEM IN ORDER FOR THEIR PARTICULAR POINT ON THE DATABASE TO BE CHECKED OKAY.

 

IF THAT’S NOT CHECKED, THEN YOUR NUMBER WILL NOT WORK, YOUR CARD WILL NOT WORK.

 

SO, THEY HAVE THE POWER, AT A MERE STROKE OF THE COMPUTER, TO EITHER GRANT YOU ACCESS TO BUY OR SELL, ESPECIALLY IF WE COME INTO A WORLD THAT’S A TOTALLY CASHLESS SOCIETY.

 

AND BY THE WAY, WE’RE GETTING CLOSER AND CLOSER TO THAT ALL THE TIME.

 

MIKHAIL GORBACHEV, IN HIS FAMOUS BOOK, PERESTROIKA, STATED IN 1987 THAT THERE ARE THREE ROOT CAUSES FOR WAR ON EARTH: POLITICAL CONFLICTS, RELIGIOUS CONFLICTS AND ECONOMIC CONFLICTS.

 

HE THEORIZED IN HIS BOOK THAT IF WE HAD A ONE-WORLD GOVERNMENT, A GLOBAL BELIEF SYSTEM, A GLOBAL ETHIC, SOME KIND OF A GLOBAL RELIGION THAT ALL RELIGIONS COULD ASCRIBE TO, THAT THEY COULD ALL BUY INTO THE COMMON DENOMINATOR.

 

AND IF WE HAD A GLOBAL ECONOMY THAT WE WOULD HAVE REMOVED THE ROOT CAUSES FOR WAR ON EARTH, AND THUS WE COULD ENTER INTO A TIME OF PEACE AND SECURITY.

 

IT MAY SURPRISE YOU, BUT EXACTLY THAT KIND OF A SYSTEM IS DESCRIBED IN YOUR BIBLE 2,000 YEARS AGO.

 

REVELATION 13 TALKS ABOUT A TIME WHEN THERE WILL BE A WORLD GOVERNMENT, A WORLD RELIGION AND A GLOBAL ECONOMY, JUST LIKE MR. GORBACHEV SUGGESTED.

 

THE PROPHECY IS REVELATION 13.

 

THE FIRST EIGHT VERSES OF THIS CHAPTER ARE DEVOTED TO THE ONE-WORLD GOVERNMENT AND THE RULER OF THAT ONE-WORLD GOVERNMENT, THE ANTICHRIST. VERSES 11 THROUGH 15 ARE DEVOTED TO THE GLOBAL RELIGIOUS SYSTEM AND THE LEADER OF THAT GLOBAL RELIGIOUS SYSTEM, A PERSON THE BIBLE CALLS THE FALSE PROPHET.

 

AND THEN, FINALLY, VERSES 15 THROUGH 18, WHERE WE’RE GOING TO FOCUS OUR REMARKS TODAY TALK ABOUT A GLOBAL ECONOMIC SYSTEM THAT WILL BE USED TO FORCE COMPLIANCE AND OBEDIENCE TO THE ONE-WORLD GOVERNMENT AND THE ONE-WORLD RELIGIOUS SYSTEM.

 

I WANT TO GO NOW TO THE PASSAGE IN THE BIBLE THAT TALKS ABOUT THE GLOBAL ECONOMIC SYSTEM THAT WILL BE USED TO CONTROL EVERY PERSON ON EARTH.

 

IT’S REVELATION 13:15.

 

HERE’S WHAT IT SAYS.

 

REVELATION 13:15

 

NOW WHAT DO WE MEAN WHEN WE TALK ABOUT, “WORSHIP THE IMAGE.”

 

AND HOW COULD THE FALSE PROPHET GIVE LIFE TO THE IMAGE OF THE BEAST.

 

THE BEAST IS REFERRING TO THE POLITICAL LEADER, THE ANTICHRIST.

 

THE FALSE PROPHET IS GOING TO BE ABLE TO GIVE LIFE TO THE IMAGE OF THE BEAST.

 

HOW WOULD THIS WORK?

 

NOW THIS IS A 2,000-YEAR-OLD PROPHECY.

 

COULD THEY BE TALKING ABOUT TELEVISION?

 

WE KNOW THAT A PERSON CAN GO ON TELEVISION AND YOU CAN SEE THAT PERSON AS THOUGH THEY WERE IN YOUR LIVING ROOM. COULD IT BE A HOLOGRAM?

 

I DON’T KNOW THE ANSWER TO THAT PARTICULAR QUESTION, BUT SOMEHOW, THEY’RE GOING TO BE ABLE TO PUT OUT THERE THIS ONE GREAT WORLD LEADER, HIS IMAGE, SO THAT WE CAN HEAR HIM SPEAK AND ALMOST HAVE A PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM.

 

WHEN WE TALK ABOUT HE’S GOING TO FORCE ALL OF US TO WORSHIP THE BEAST, DOES THAT MEAN, WE’RE ALL GOING TO BOW DOWN TO A MAN AND SAY, “YOU’RE MY LORD, YOU’RE MY SAVIOR, AND YOU’RE MY GOD?”

 

WHAT’S IT GOING TO MEAN TO WORSHIP?

 

COULD IT MEAN PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO?

 

WE KNOW THAT IN ADOLPH HITLER’S DAY THAT THERE WAS A SYSTEM VERY CLOSE TO THIS AND EVERYONE WOULD STAND FOR HOURS WITH THEIR HAND RAISED, “HEIL HITLER.”

 

AND IT WAS REALLY A FORM OF EMPEROR WORSHIP.

 

SO, HOW WILL WE PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE?

 

DO WE PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THE ONE-WORLD GOVERNMENT, TO THE NEW WORLD ORDER?

 

WHATEVER IT IS, THE BIBLE SEES IT AS WORSHIP.

 

AND TO WORSHIP THE ANTICHRIST WILL BE TO WORSHIP THE DEVIL.

 

NOW, YOU’VE GOT TO UNDERSTAND THIS WHOLE PROGRAM WAS CONCEIVED IN HELL BY SATAN HIMSELF.

 

HIS DESIRE IS TO CAUSE ALL OF US TO WORSHIP HIM BECAUSE HE HATES GOD, HE HATES THE FACT THAT THE HUMAN RACE IS GOD’S PRIZED CREATION.

 

AND HE WANTS YOU, HE WANTS ME, HE WANTS EVERYBODY IN THE WORLD TO WORSHIP HIM THROUGH THE ANTICHRIST.

 

SO, WHEN THE BIBLE SAYS THAT THE FALSE PROPHET WILL INFLUENCE THE ENTIRE WORLD TO WORSHIP THE ANTICHRIST, THAT REALLY WILL RESULT IN THE ENTIRE WORLD WORSHIPING SATAN.

 

AND THAT’S WHAT SATAN WANTS.

 

HE DOES NOT WANT US TO WORSHIP OUR CREATOR, THE ONE, TRUE GOD, BUT HE WANTS US TO WORSHIP SATAN.

 

THE SCRIPTURES TELL US THAT IF YOU DON’T TAKE THE MARK OF THE BEAST, YOU WILL BE KILLED.

 

NOW, THIS IS A DRAMATIC, DRASTIC SCRIPTURE.

 

BUT THE BIBLE SAYS WHOSOEVER REFUSES TO WORSHIP WILL BE KILLED.

 

HOW COULD THAT HAPPEN IN A MODERN SOCIETY?

 

WELL, WIND THE CLOCK BACK ABOUT 100 YEARS.

 

GO TO THE TIMES OF JOSEPH STALIN.

 

GO TO THE TIMES OF MAO TSE TUNG.

 

JOSEPH STALIN SLAUGHTERED AT LEAST 20 MILLION PEOPLE BECAUSE THEY WOULD NOT CONFORM TO HIS REGIME POLITICALLY AND SPIRITUALLY.

 

AND THEN, THEY TELL US FROM 1949, WHEN THE COMMUNISTS TOOK OVER MAINLAND CHINA, UNTIL NOW, THERE HAVE BEEN 60 MILLION KILLED OVER THE LAST 50 YEARS.

 

NOW, I’M TALKING ABOUT IN RECENT TIMES HERE.

 

I’M TALKING ABOUT WITHIN THE LAST 100 YEARS.

 

AND WE KNOW WHAT HAPPENED WITH ADOLPH HITLER, SIX MILLION JEWS, A TOTAL OF ABOUT 11 MILLION SLAUGHTERED, NOT COUNTING THE FATALITIES THAT WERE COMMITTED IN WORLD WAR II, SO FOR US TO THINK IT COULDN’T HAPPEN NOW, THAT’S FOLLY.

 

WE HAVE RECORDS OF INCIDENCES LIKE THIS FROM THE BEGINNING OF TIME UNTIL NOW, NAME THEM OFF.

 

YOU CAN TALK ABOUT THE SPANISH INQUISITION, YOU CAN TALK ABOUT THE CRUSADES, OR MORE RECENTLY, YOU CAN TALK ABOUT THE SOVIET UNION, COMMUNIST CHINA, NAZI GERMANY.

 

I HATE TO TELL YOU THIS; IT’S GETTING READY TO HAPPEN AGAIN.

 

AND THE BIBLE SAYS THIS COMING PERSECUTION WILL BE THE WORST PERSECUTION EVER; IT WILL BE A TRIBULATION SUCH AS NEVER HAS BEEN BEFORE OR EVER AGAIN SHALL BE.

 

I WISH IT WERE NOT TRUE, BUT IT’S GOING TO HAPPEN.

 

IT’S ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN TO HAPPEN.

 

NOW, WE CAN ACT LIKE IT’S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN, BUT IT IS GOING TO HAPPEN.

 

IT’S IN YOUR BIBLE.

 

IT’S IN MY BIBLE.

 

IT’S PROPHECY.

 

THE PROPHECIES ALWAYS COME TO PASS, SO IT’S ABSOLUTELY CRITICAL TO YOU AND TO ME THAT WE REALLY TAKE THIS TO HEART.

 

LET’S TAKE A LOOK AT THE REST OF THE PASSAGE IN REVELATION 13.

 

VERSE 16 SAYS.

 

REVELATION 13:16-17

 

NOTICE IT SAYS THREE THINGS HERE: THE MARK, OR THE NAME OF THE BEAST, OR THE NUMBER OF HIS NAME.

 

NOW, REMEMBER THOSE THINGS BECAUSE THE BIBLE SAYS THAT’S WHAT YOU’RE GOING TO HAVE TO ACCEPT IN ORDER TO BE ABLE TO BUY OR SELL TO PARTICIPATE IN THE ECONOMY.

 

OTHERWISE, IF YOU DO NOT TAKE THE MARK, YOU WILL BE BOYCOTTED, ECONOMICALLY.

 

THAT MEANS THEY’RE GOING TO FORCE YOU OUT OF COMMERCE.

 

YOU WON’T BE ABLE TO GO TO THE STORE.

 

YOU WON’T BE ABLE TO PROVIDE FOR YOUR FAMILY.

 

YOU ARE GOING TO BE PUT OFF LIMITS BECAUSE BY THIS TIME DIVERSITY WILL NO LONGER BE TOLERATED.

 

THEY’RE GOING TO INSIST THAT EVERYONE COMES TO CONFORMITY.

 

NOW, WE SEE THIS STARTING TO HAPPEN ALREADY.

 

YOU KNOW, IN GERMANY RIGHT NOW, IT’S AGAINST THE LAW TO HOME SCHOOL YOUR CHILDREN.

 

AND THEY EXPLAIN, WE DON’T WANT A PARALLEL SOCIETY.

 

WE WANT EVERYBODY THINKING ALIKE.

 

WE WANT EVERYONE TO HAVE THE SAME VALUES.

 

WE WANT EVERYONE TO HAVE THE SAME CULTURE.

 

SO IT’S ALREADY STARTING ALL OVER AGAIN, AND THAT’S NOT JUST GERMANY.

 

THERE ARE OTHER PLACES IN EUROPE RIGHT NOW THAT ARE STARTING TO OUTLAW HOME SCHOOLING BECAUSE THEY WANT YOU TO THINK LIKE THE STATE WANTS YOU TO THINK.

 

AND GUESS WHAT, THAT’S WHAT’S GOING TO MOVE ALL THE WAY THROUGH EUROPE AND EUROPE IS GOING TO BE THE POWER BASE OF THE ANTICHRIST.

 

SO, WE CAN SEE THESE THINGS STARTING ALL OVER AGAIN RIGHT NOW.

 

NOW, THE WORLD COMMUNITY ALREADY IS USING SANCTIONS TO FORCE OBEDIENCE.

 

SOMETIMES WHEN WE READ THESE PROPHECIES WE THINK, AH, WAIT A MINUTE, IT COULD NEVER HAPPEN.

 

BUT THE FACT IS, IT IS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW.

 

RIGHT NOW ANY NATION THAT DOES NOT COMPLY WITH THE EDICTS OF THE UNITED NATIONS SECURITY COUNCIL, THEY WILL PASS SANCTIONS AGAINST THEM.

 

IT WAS IRAQ FIRST OF ALL WITH SADDAM HUSSEIN.

 

NOW, MORE RECENTLY, WE’VE PASSED SEVERAL LEVELS OF SANCTIONS AGAINST IRAN.

 

YOU’RE VERY AWARE OF THAT.

 

IT’S IN OUR NEWS ALL THE TIME RIGHT NOW.

 

HOWEVER, THIS PROPHECY NOT ONLY APPLIES TO SANCTIONS ON A NATIONAL LEVEL, WE’RE TALKING ABOUT A PROPHECY THAT SAYS SANCTIONS ON AN INDIVIDUAL LEVEL WILL SOON BE LEVIED AGAINST PEOPLE.

 

YOU KNOW AS WELL AS I DO THAT IT’S NEVER BEEN POSSIBLE FOR SANCTIONS TO BE PLACED AGAINST US ON AN INDIVIDUAL LEVEL, AT LEAST UNTIL NOW.

 

NOW THE TECHNOLOGY EXISTS SO THAT THEY COULD PUT YOU OFF LIMITS.

 

WE DON’T HAVE A TOTAL CASHLESS SOCIETY YET, BUT THERE ARE ACTUALLY LAWS IN PLACE THAT FORCE YOU TO HAVE AN APPROVED NATIONAL ID CARD OR ELSE YOU CAN’T HOLD A JOB.

 

WELL, IF YOU CAN’T HOLD A JOB, THEN HOW CAN YOU BUY OR SELL?

 

YOU CAN’T MAKE ANY MONEY.

 

SO, ALREADY WE SEE THE LAWS ARE MOVING TOWARD THIS 2,000-YEAR-OLD PROPHECY, WHICH COULD NEVER BE FULFILLED PRIOR TO NOW, BUT IT CAN BE FULFILLED RIGHT NOW WITH THE EMERGENCE OF MODERN TECHNOLOGY.

 

YOU KNOW AS WELL AS I DO THAT YOU COULD BUY ALMOST ANYTHING IF YOU HAVE A VALID CREDIT CARD WITH A VALID NUMBER.

 

YOU CAN PICK UP THE PHONE AND BUY THINGS FROM HONG KONG, FROM SINGAPORE, FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD.

 

BUT IF YOU DON’T HAVE THAT NUMBER, YOU’RE OUT OF BUSINESS IN THE LAND OF INTERSTATE AND INTERNATIONAL COMMERCE.

 

NOW WE WILL TALK ABOUT THIS MARK, WILL THIS MARK BE A VISIBLE MARK, WILL THIS BE A 666 ON YOUR HAND, ON YOUR FOREHEAD, OR WILL IT BE INVISIBLE?

 

I CAN’T TELL YOU FOR SURE WHETHER IT WILL BE INVISIBLE OR VISIBLE.

 

BUT I DEFINITELY BELIEVE IT’S GOING TO BE A PHYSICAL MARK, AND HERE’S WHY I BELIEVE THAT, BECAUSE YOU’VE GOT TO HAVE SOMETHING THAT ENABLES YOU TO BUY OR SELL.

 

WE KNOW RIGHT NOW THAT WHEN YOU GET SOME KIND OF AN ID CARD THEY LIKE YOUR FINGERPRINTS OR THEY LIKE YOUR EYE SCAN.

 

THAT’S A LITTLE BIT DISCONCERTING BECAUSE THE PROPHECY SAYS THAT THE MARK WILL BE IN YOUR HAND OR IN YOUR FOREHEAD.

 

WELL, MY FINGERPRINTS ARE ON MY HAND AND MY IRIS, MY RETINA THAT THE MACHINES READ, THAT’S IN MY FOREHEAD.

 

COULD THIS BE WHAT THIS PROPHECY IS TALKING ABOUT?

 

OR COULD IT BE TALKING ABOUT JUST A NATIONAL ID CARD, BECAUSE YOU CAN EITHER HOLD THE ID CARD IN YOUR HAND, OR YOU CAN MEMORIZE YOUR NUMBER IN YOUR HEAD.

 

I DON’T KNOW THE ANSWER FOR SURE RIGHT NOW.

 

ALL I CAN TELL YOU IS, THIS TIME IS COMING AND IT’S COMING SOON.

 

THE TECHNOLOGY IS BEING SET UP RIGHT NOW.

 

LET’S LOOK AT THE REST OF THE PASSAGE, VERSE 18.

 

REVELATION 13:18

 

NOW, THE PASSAGE SAYS THAT THIS IS THE NUMBER OF A MAN, WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?

 

COULD IT BE THE ANTICHRIST’S SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER PERHAPS?

 

OR SOMEHOW COULD WE CALCULATE THE NAME OF A MAN AND INTERPRET INTO 666?

 

NOTICE THE PASSAGE SAYS, “LET HIM THAT HATH UNDERSTANDING COUNT,” OR CALCULATE, “THE NUMBER OF THE BEAST.

 

AND NOTICE IN VERSE 17 THAT IT’S, “THE NUMBER OF HIS NAME.”

 

SO, SOMEHOW, APPARENTLY, THE NAME OF THE ANTICHRIST, OR OF HIS WORLD GOVERNMENT, IS GOING TO CALCULATE TO 666.

 

LET ME GIVE YOU A COUPLE OF EXAMPLES THAT WILL LET YOU IMAGINE WHAT THIS COULD BE LIKE.

 

WHEN RONALD REAGAN WAS PRESIDENT, THERE WERE SOME PEOPLE THAT SAID, “WAIT A MINUTE, HIS NAME IS RONALD WILSON REAGAN, SIX LETTERS IN RONALD, SIX LETTERS IN WILSON, SIX LETTERS IN REAGAN.

 

COULD REAGAN BE THE ANTICHRIST?”

 

WELL, OBVIOUSLY NOT, HE’S NOW DEAD AND GONE.

 

THERE IS AN INSCRIPTION IN THE CROWN OF THE POPE.

 

THE INSCRIPTION IS IN LATIN AND IT SAYS, “VICARIUS FILII DEI.”

 

IT’S LATIN FOR VICAR OF THE SON OF GOD.

 

FILII IS SON, DEI IS GOD.

 

VICAR, OR REPRESENTATIVE OF THE SON OF GOD, BECAUSE THAT’S WHAT CATHOLICS BELIEVE.

 

THEY BELIEVE THAT THE POPE IS IN THE PLACE OF JESUS CHRIST ON EARTH TODAY.

 

NOW, IF YOU TAKE THE LETTERS IN VICARIUS FILII DEI THAT STAND FOR ROMAN NUMERALS, THAT HAVE ROMAN NUMERAL VALUE, IT’S INTERESTING WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU ADD THEM UP.

 

A V EQUALS 5, AN I EQUALS 1, A C EQUALS 100, AN I EQUALS 1.

 

NOW, THE U IS INSCRIBED IN THE CROWN AS A V.

 

YOU’VE PROBABLY SEEN AT THE PUBLIC LIBRARY THE U AS A V,

 

THAT’S THE WAY THEY INSCRIBE IT, FOR SOME REASON.

 

SO, IF WE LET THAT U EQUAL 5, THEN THE I IN FILII IS 1, TWO MORE IS IN FILII, THAT’S TWO MORE.

 

THE D IS 500 AND THE I IN DEI IS 1.

 

ADD UP THOSE NUMBERS. YOU GUESSED IT, 666.

 

SO, DOES THAT MEAN THEN THAT THE POPE IS THE ANTICHRIST, NO WE’VE ALREADY DEMONSTRATED IN A PREVIOUS LESSON THAT WHOEVER IS POPE AT THE TIME OF THE ANTICHRIST, THAT MAN WILL BE IN ALLIANCE WITH THE ANTICHRIST AND WILL PLAY THE ROLE OF THE FALSE PROPHET.

 

SO, WE CERTAINLY, I DON’T THINK WE COULD SAY THAT VICARIUS FILII DEI FULFILLS THE REQUIREMENT OF THE PROPHECY.

 

BUT YOU DO HAVE TO ADMIT IT’S INTERESTING SINCE THE BIBLE SAYS THAT, “HIM THAT HATH UNDERSTANDING, LET HIM COUNT THE NUMBER OF THE BEAST, FOR IT’S THE NUMBER OF THE NAME OF A MAN.”

 

WE’LL HAVE TO WATCH AND SEE HOW THAT PLAYS OUT.

 

NOW, ALSO NOTICE IN VERSE 9, IT TELLS US WHAT’S GOING TO HAPPEN TO THE PERSON THAT TAKES THE MARK.

 

REVELATION 14:9-11

 

IT SAYING TO US, THE COST FOR TAKING THE MARK OF THE BEAST AND WORSHIPING THE ANTICHRIST WILL BE ETERNAL DAMNATION.

 

THAT’S THE REASON THIS IS SUCH A SERIOUS SUBJECT.

 

NOW, FURTHERMORE, THE BIBLE TEACHES THAT SOME PEOPLE WILL REFUSE THE MARK OF THE BEAST AND THEY WILL BE KILLED BECAUSE OF THEIR REFUSAL.

 

IT SAYS IN REVELATION 20:4.

 

REVELATION 20:4-6

 

IT JUST DAWNED ON ME WHEN I WAS STUDYING THIS PASSAGE THAT THIS IS GOING TO BE HAPPENING DURING THE FINAL THREE AND A HALF YEARS IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING ARMAGEDDON AND THE FIRST RESURRECTION.

 

AND WHEN THIS HAPPENS, THESE PEOPLE WILL NOT BE DEAD LONG BECAUSE THE BIBLE SAYS WHEN CHRIST COMES BACK, THEY WILL BE RESURRECTED.

 

THEY MAY BE DEAD A YEAR OR TWO OR THREE, IT’S NOT GOING TO BE LONG.

 

AND THEN, THEY ARE GOING TO BE RESURRECTED.

 

THE BIBLE TELLS US THIS IS THE FIRST RESURRECTION.

 

SO, WILL SOME PEOPLE REFUSE THE MARK OF THE BEAST AND SURVIVE? ABSOLUTELY.

 

THE ANTICHRIST WILL NOT BE IN CONTROL OF EVERY PART OF THE WORLD.

 

DANIEL 11:41 TELLS US.

 

DANIEL 11:41

 

ALL THREE OF THESE LOCATIONS ARE INSIDE THE COUNTRY OF JORDAN.

 

THE BIBLE ALSO TELLS US THAT THE NATION OF ISRAEL WILL NEVER FALL UNDER THE CONTROL OF THE ANTICHRIST.

 

REVELATION 12:14 SAY THAT, “THE WOMAN WITH THE TWELVE STARS,” THE TWELVE STARS SYMBOLIZE THE TWELVE TRIBES OF ISRAEL, “THAT THE WOMAN WILL BE PROTECTED FROM THE ANTICHRIST ALL DURING THE FINAL THREE AND A HALF YEARS,” DURING THE TIME WE CALL THE GREAT TRIBULATION.

 

FURTHERMORE, IT SAYS THERE IN DANIEL 11, “THE TIDINGS OUT OF THE EAST AND NORTH SHALL TROUBLE HIM.”

 

SO, HE’S GOING TO HAVE OPPOSITION.

 

HE WILL BE FIGHTING WARS ALL DURING THAT LAST PERIOD OF TIME.

 

SO, WHEN WE TAKE A LOOK AT THE ANTICHRIST AND THIS MARK OF THE BEAST, IT’S IMPORTANT THAT WE REALIZE THAT SOME WILL TAKE IT, SOME WILL NOT.

 

THE ONES WHO TAKE IT, THE BIBLE SAYS, THAT “THEY WILL CAST INTO THE LAKE OF FIRE AND THEY WILL BE TORMENTED IN THE PRESENCE OF THE HOLY LAMB.”

 

NOW YOU CAN ARGUE WITH THIS IF YOU WANT TO.

 

IT’S IN YOUR BIBLE.

 

IT’S IN REVELATION CHAPTER 14:9-11, IT’S SERIOUS.

 

NOW, WHAT AM I SAYING TO YOU TODAY?

 

I’M SAYING TO EVERYONE UNDER THE SOUND OF MY VOICE, IT’S CRITICAL.

 

THE BIBLE SAYS, EVERYBODY WILL TAKE THIS MARK EXCEPT THOSE WHOSE NAMES ARE IN THE LAMB’S BOOK OF LIFE.

 

MAKE SURE YOUR NAME IS IN THE LAMB’S BOOK OF LIFE.

 

 

PART 2
IN OUR LAST SEGMENT WE LEARNED WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS ABOUT THE MARK OF THE BEAST.

 

IN THIS SEGMENT WE WANT TO INVESTIGATE HOW CLOSE WE ACTUALLY ARE TO IMPLEMENTING THE MARK OF THE BEAST.

 

WE’RE GOING TO FIND OUT THAT WE ARE CLOSER THAN MOST PEOPLE THINK.

 

NOW, THE PROPHECY FORETELLS A TIME WHEN EACH OF US WILL HAVE A MARK OR A NUMBER, WITHOUT WHICH WE WILL NOT BE PERMITTED TO BUY OR SELL.

 

IT PAINTS A PICTURE OF A SYSTEM OF TOTAL CONTROL.

 

LET’S LOOK AT THE HISTORY OF NUMBERING PEOPLE UPON THIS EARTH.

 

OVER THE LAST 70 OR 80 YEARS MOST NATIONS HAVE IMPLEMENTED A SYSTEM OF NUMBERING THEIR CITIZENS.

 

HERE IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA THE SOCIAL SECURITY SYSTEM WAS BEGUN IN 1935 UNDER FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT.

 

THERE WAS OPPOSITION TO THIS SYSTEM BECAUSE SO MANY PEOPLE KNEW THEIR BIBLES.

 

THEY KNEW THE BIBLE TALKED ABOUT A TIME WHERE EVERYBODY WOULD BE NUMBERED.

 

WHEN THE GOVERNMENT BEGAN TO TALK ABOUT GIVING ALL OF US A NUMBER, THERE WAS HUGE OPPOSITION ABOUT THAT.

 

AS A RESULT, THE GOVERNMENT AGREED TO STAMP ON THE SOCIAL SECURITY CARD, “NOT TO BE USED FOR IDENTIFICATION.”

 

WELL, OBVIOUSLY THAT’S A JOKE.

 

THEY SAID IT WOULD ONLY BE USED TO ADMINISTER THE SOCIAL SECURITY BENEFIT PROGRAM.

 

BUT OVER TIME, BECAUSE THIS NUMBER WAS AVAILABLE, LITTLE BY LITTLE PEOPLE HAD BEGUN TO USE IT FOR TAXES, FOR RETIREMENT, FOR ALMOST EVERYTHING.

 

YOU’VE GOT TO GIVE YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER TO BUY A HOUSE, TO GET A LOAN, EVEN THOUGH THEY HAD STAMPED ON THERE, “NOT FOR IDENTIFICATION.”

 

IT BECOMES SUCH A JOKE THAT IN 1972 THEY SAID, “THERE’S NO USE PRETENDING ANYMORE, IT IS USED FOR IDENTIFICATION, SO WE’LL JUST TAKE IT AWAY SO IT’S NOT ON THERE ANYMORE.”

 

BUT THERE ARE STILL SOME PEOPLE WHO HAVE THESE SOCIAL SECURITY CARDS WHICH SAY, “NOT TO BE USED FOR IDENTIFICATION.”

 

NOW, DURING THE HOLOCAUST ADOLPH HITLER NUMBERED THE JEWS AND MANY NON-JEWS THAT WERE IMPRISONED IN HIS CONCENTRATION CAMPS.

 

THEY WERE TATTOOED WITH A NUMBER IN ORDER TO IDENTIFY AND TRACK EACH INDIVIDUAL.

 

IT WAS HITLER’S WAY OF KEEPING TABS ON EACH PERSON SO THAT HE COULD MAINTAIN CONTROL.

 

THE END PURPOSE OF NUMBERING A POPULATION IS ALWAYS TO CONTROL THEM.

 

AND DO I NEED TO REMIND YOU THAT CONTROL AND FREEDOM ARE OPPOSITE TERMS.

 

IF YOUR DOG IS ON A LEASH, HE’S UNDER CONTROL, BUT IF THE LEASH BREAKS AND HE RUNS THROUGH THE NEIGHBORHOOD, NOW HE’S FREE. SO, WHAT DO WE WANT TO DO?

 

DO WE WANT TO BE ON THE LEASH OF BIG GOVERNMENT OR DO WE WANT TO BE FREE?

 

YOU CANNOT HAVE FREEDOM WHEN THE POPULATION IS NUMBERED.

 

AND THAT’S THE REASON THAT AMERICANS HAVE ALWAYS RESISTED A NATIONAL I.D. CARD.

 

NOW, TODAY, OVER 100 NATIONS HAVE COMPULSORY NATIONAL I.D. CARDS BECAUSE MOST GOVERNMENTS ARE CONTROLLING, MOST GOVERNMENTS ARE SOCIALISTIC.

 

THEY BELIEVE THE PEOPLE ARE TO SERVE THE GOVERNMENT INSTEAD OF THE GOVERNMENT SERVING THE PEOPLE.

 

MOST OTHER NATIONS BESIDE THESE 100 THAT HAVE THE COMPULSORY NATIONAL I.D. CARDS, HAVE SOME FORM OF NON-COMPULSORY I.D.

 

HOWEVER, THESE NON-COMPULSORY I.D.’S HAVE A WAY OF BECOMING MANDATORY OVER TIME.

 

FOR EXAMPLE, HERE IN THE UNITED STATES MOST OF US USE OUR DRIVER’S LICENSE AS AN I.D. CARD.

 

YOU CAN’T FLY WITHOUT A DRIVER’S LICENSE OR AN I.D. CARD.

 

YOU CAN ACTUALLY GO TO THE DRIVER’S LICENSE BUREAU EVEN IF YOU DON’T DRIVE AND THEY WILL GIVE YOU AN I.D. CARD BECAUSE IT’S SO NECESSARY.

 

IT’S ALMOST COMPULSORY NOW IN THE SOCIETY IN WHICH WE PRESENTLY LIVE.

 

NOW, A NATIONAL I.D. SYSTEM IS REQUIRED IN ORDER TO IMPLEMENT A TOTALITARIAN FORM OF GOVERNMENT.

 

WHEN YOU SEE THE TREND TOWARD ALL THE NATIONS ACQUIRING A NATIONAL I.D., AND EVEN TO THE POINT WHERE IT SOON COULD BE A GLOBAL I.D., YOU KNOW THAT YOU’RE IN THE PROCESS OF GOING INTO WORLD GOVERNMENT.

 

THE PRINCIPLE REASON FOR A NATIONAL I.D. IS CONTROL.

 

I DON’T WANT YOU TO FORGET THAT. AND CONTROL AND FREEDOM ARE OPPOSITE TERMS.

 

LET’S TALK ABOUT SOME OF THE NATIONAL I.D. PROGRAMS AROUND THE WORLD, SO YOU CAN SEE BECAUSE THERE’S NO DOUBT ABOUT IT.

 

THE NATIONAL I.D. PROGRAMS THAT ARE PRESENTLY BEING SET UP ARE GOING TO END UP BEING THE MECHANISM THAT WILL BE USED BY THE ANTICHRIST AND HIS RELIGIOUS PARTNER, THE FALSE PROPHET, TO RULE THE WORLD.

 

IN INDIA ON JUNE 25TH OF 2009, INDIA ANNOUNCED IT WAS PRESSING AHEAD WITH UNIVERSAL, BIOMETRIC I.D. CARDS TO BE COMPLETED BY 2011.

 

NOW, THE PLAN WAS TO REGISTER 1.2 BILLION PEOPLE, THAT’S THE ENTIRE POPULATION OF INDIA.

 

AND THEY WERE GOING TO ACCOMPLISH THIS PHENOMENALLY WITHIN JUST 18 MONTHS.

 

IN 2007 CHINA LAUNCHED AN I.D. CARD CONTAINING AN RFID CHIP FOR ALL 1.3 BILLION OF ITS CITIZENS.

 

SO, HERE YOU HAVE 1.2 BILLION IN INDIA, 1.3 BILLION IN CHINA.

 

THAT’S 2.5 BILLION.

 

THAT’S WELL OVER ONE-THIRD OF THE WORLD’S POPULATION JUST IN THOSE TWO COUNTRIES THAT ALREADY HAVE MANDATORY I.D. CARDS.

 

THAT MEANS THEY ALREADY ARE UNDER THE STRONG HAND OF GOVERNMENT AND UNDER THE STRONG HAND OF CONTROL.

 

GERMANY IMPLEMENTED A BIOMETRIC I.D. CARD TO ALL OF ITS CITIZENS NOVEMBER 1, 2010.

 

SO, WE CAN SEE THIS IS A HUGE TREND IN THE WORLD.

 

ALMOST EVERY NATION IS MOVING IN THIS DIRECTION NOW.

 

IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, FORTUNATELY, OUR FOREFATHERS HAD SUCH A STRONG TRADITION OF LIBERTY THAT WE’VE ALWAYS SAID, “NO, WE’RE NOT GOING TO HAVE A NATIONAL I.D. CARD.

 

WE ARE MEN, WE ARE NOT NUMBERS, WE’RE NOT GOING TO SUBMIT TO THIS DEHUMANIZING OF SOCIETY.”

 

HOWEVER, THE I.D. CARD IDEA HAS BEEN CHIPPING AWAY AT US FOR A WHILE.

 

A LOT OF PEOPLE THINK IT ALL BEGAN ON 9/11 WITH THE TERRORIST ATTACKS ON NEW YORK CITY, BUT THAT’S NOT TRUE BECAUSE MARVIN STONE, EDITOR OF U.S. NEWS AND WORLD REPORT WROTE IN AN EDITORIAL IN THE SEPTEMBER 15, 1980 EDITION, ENTITLED, “A NATIONAL IDENTITY CARD?”

 

NOW, HIS RATIONALE FOR ARGUING FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A NATIONAL I.D. HERE IN THE UNITED STATES WAS TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM OF ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION.

 

THIS WAS CATCHING MOMENTUM BACK IN 1980.

 

WELL, IT CAME TO THE DESK OF PRESIDENT RONALD REAGAN IN 1981.

 

AND WHEN IT WAS PROPOSED TO HIM, HE SAID, “WHAT, ARE YOU CRAZY?

 

THAT’S THE MARK OF THE BEAST.”

 

WELL, THAT WAS THE END OF THE NATIONAL I.D. IDEA HERE IN THE UNITED STATES, FOR A WHILE AT LEAST, UNTIL THE REAGAN ADMINISTRATION WAS OVER.

 

RONALD REAGAN JUST HAPPENED TO KNOW ENOUGH ABOUT HIS BIBLE.

 

HE WAS ACTUALLY A STUDENT OF THE BOOK OF REVELATION AND HE UNDERSTOOD THE MARK OF THE BEAST AND HE SAID, “NO WAY.”

 

YOU KNOW, WE WILL NEVER HAVE A NATIONAL I.D. IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AS LONG AS WE HAVE A BIBLICALLY LITERATE SOCIETY.

 

BUT THE FURTHER WE GET AWAY FROM GOD’S WORD, THE MORE LIKELY WE ARE TO SLIDE INTO THE TRAP THAT ULTIMATELY SATAN IS PLANNING.

 

HE INTENDS TO BE ABLE TO CONTROL EVERYONE AND ULTIMATELY FORCE THEM TO ADOPT HIS WAY OF LIFE AND TO ULTIMATELY WORSHIP HIM.

 

THAT’S WHERE THIS WHOLE THING IS LEADING.

 

THAT’S WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS IN REVELATION 13, WHERE THIS PROPHECY IS GIVEN.

 

THE BIBLE SAYS THAT ALL PEOPLE WILL BE FORCED TO WORSHIP THE ANTICHRIST, SATAN’S PERSONAL AGENT.

 

AND IN SO DOING, THEY WILL BE COMMITTING IDOLATRY AGAINST GOD HIMSELF.

 

WHEN THE TERRORIST ATTACKS TOOK PLACE IN 9/11, OF COURSE, THE WHOLE NATION WAS IN AN UPROAR.

 

CONGRESS DECIDED TO APPOINT A COMMISSION CALLED THE 9/11 COMMISSION.

 

AND SAID, “WE WANT YOU TO CALCULATE HOW TO MAKE AMERICA SAFE.”

 

SUCH PRESTIGIOUS PEOPLE AS HENRY KISSINGER AND OTHERS WERE ON THE COMMISSION.

 

CONGRESS STRAIGHTLY CHARGED THEM, “BUT DO NOT COME BACK WITH THE MANDATE TO ESTABLISH A NATIONAL I.D., WE’RE NOT GOING TO DO THAT.”

 

SO, WHAT DID THE 9/11 COMMISSION DO?

 

THEY CAME BACK AND SAID, “WELL, WHAT WE NEED IS A MEANS OF SECURE IDENTIFICATION FOR ALL OF OUR CITIZENS.”

 

THEY DIDN’T SAY, “WE NEED A NATIONAL I.D.,” BUT THAT’S EXACTLY WHAT THEY MEANT.

 

THEY CAME BACK AND DID EXACTLY WHAT CONGRESS TOLD THEM NOT TO DO.

 

THE RESULT WAS — THE REAL I.D. ACT WAS PASSED, FIRST OF ALL IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, WITHOUT MUCH FANFARE.

 

MOST PEOPLE DIDN’T EVEN KNOW IT WAS BEING CONSIDERED UNTIL IT HAD ALREADY PASSED.

 

BUT WHEN THIS HIT THE NEWS, IMMEDIATELY OPPOSITION AROSE.

 

NOW, THE REAL I.D. ACT CALLED FOR BRINGING YOUR ORIGINAL BIRTH CERTIFICATE TO THE LICENSE BRANCH, YOUR ORIGINAL SOCIAL SECURITY CARD, PROOF OF YOUR ADDRESS, AND YOU HAD TO SUBMIT TO A DIGITAL PHOTO WHEN THE DRIVER’S LICENSE WAS ISSUED BECAUSE THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY WAS PLANNING ON THE RECOGNITION, THE FACIAL RECOGNITION TECHNOLOGY TO ULTIMATELY AND ESTABLISH A GLOBAL I.D.

 

SO, THAT WAS ONE OF THE THINGS THEY BUILT INTO THIS REAL I.D. ACT.

 

ALL OF THIS INFORMATION WAS TO BE PLACED IN A DATABASE FOR SHARING WITH ALL OF THE OTHER STATES.

 

SO, IF YOU RECEIVED YOUR LICENSE IN TEXAS OR INDIANA, THEY WOULD PUT ALL OF YOUR INFORMATION IN THAT DATABASE, BUT THAT DATABASE HAD TO BE LINKED TO ALL THE OTHER DATABASES OF THE OTHER 49 STATES.

 

SO, YOU COULDN’T HAVE TWO OR THREE LICENSES IN DIFFERENT STATES.

 

THAT WAS THE IDEA.

 

WELL, IN SO DOING YOU CREATED A NATIONAL I.D., BECAUSE IF YOU HAD THE DATABASE THAT STATES CAN ACCESS, AND OF COURSE, THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT ALSO COULD ACCESS IT, THEN THAT MEANS THAT THEY COULD CONTROL YOU WITH THAT I.D.

 

FOR EXAMPLE, IF YOU WERE FORBIDDEN TO HAVE A LICENSE IN INDIANA, YOU COULDN’T GET ONE IN TEXAS; YOU COULDN’T GET ONE IN CALIFORNIA.

 

AND SINCE YOU DIDN’T HAVE YOUR I.D., THAT MEANS YOU’RE NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO FLY AN AIRPLANE, YOU’RE NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO ENTER A FEDERAL BUILDING, YOU WON’T BE ABLE TO DRIVE A CAR, YOU WON’T BE ABLE TO OPEN A BANK ACCOUNT, AND YOU WON’T BE ABLE TO HOLD A JOB.

 

NOW, THIS IS WHERE IT GETS SERIOUS.

 

ONCE THEY ESTABLISH A SYSTEM WHERE YOU CAN NO LONGER HOLD A JOB, WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?

 

THAT MEANS THAT YOU CAN’T BUY OR SELL.

 

IF YOU DON’T HAVE A JOB, YOU DON’T HAVE ANY MONEY; THAT MEANS YOU CANNOT BUY OR SELL.

 

THE PROPHECY IN REVELATION CHAPTER NUMBER 13:16-17 SAYS THAT THIS SYSTEM IS GOING TO BE IMPLEMENTED WHERE EVERY PERSON WILL HAVE TO HAVE A MARK OR A NUMBER, AND WITHOUT IT, YOU CAN’T BUY OR SELL.

 

WE’RE VEERING TREACHEROUSLY CLOSE TO THE PRECIPICE NOW THAT WAS PROPHESIED ABOUT 2,000 YEARS AGO, BUT COULD ONLY BE FULFILLED RIGHT NOW.

 

WELL, NOW THAT THE PUBLICITY IS HITTING THE AMERICAN SCENE, ALL KINDS OF LIBERTY-LOVING PEOPLE ROSE UP AND BEGAN TO BOMBARD THE SENATE.

 

IT WAS NOW BEFORE THE SENATE, BUT THERE WAS SO MUCH OPPOSITION TO IT.

 

HERE AT ENDTIME MINISTRIES WE ACTUALLY PUBLISHED A MAGAZINE WITH A TOTAL EDITION DEVOTED TO THE REAL I.D. ACT AND WHY WE SHOULD NOT HAVE IT.

 

THAT IT WAS, IN FACT, A NATIONAL I.D.

 

AND YOU KNOW, THE PEOPLE PROMOTING THIS WOULD LOOK AT YOU STRAIGHT IN THE FACE AND SAY, “THIS IS NOT A NATIONAL I.D.”

 

AND ALL WE SAID, “WELL, IS IT AN I.D.?”

 

“WELL, YES.”

 

“AND IS IT GOING TO BE NATIONAL?”

 

“WELL, YES.”

 

“THEN IT’S A NATIONAL I.D.”

 

BUT THE PEOPLE WHO WANTED THIS DIDN’T CARE ABOUT BEING HONEST, THEY JUST WANTED TO TAKE THIS NEXT STEP WHERE BIG GOVERNMENT COULD BECOME BIGGER BECAUSE THEY THINK THEY KNOW WHAT’S BEST FOR YOUR LIFE AND FOR MINE.

 

THEY’VE FORGOTTEN WHAT FREEDOM IS REALLY ALL ABOUT.

 

THEY DON’T BELIEVE IN FREEDOM ANYMORE.

 

THEY BELIEVE THAT MAN IS INHERENTLY EVIL AND THAT THEREFORE YOU ARE GUILTY UNTIL YOU’RE PROVEN INNOCENT.

 

AND SO, WE HAVE TO KEEP TRACK AND TRACK EVERYBODY, EVERYWHERE, ALL THE TIME.

 

NOW, AMERICANS DON’T BELIEVE THAT.

 

WE BELIEVE PEOPLE ARE INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY.

 

AND THE GOVERNMENT HAS NO RIGHT TO CHECK YOUR PAPERS, TO COME IN YOUR HOUSE, TO SEARCH YOUR AUTOMOBILE OR ANYTHING ELSE.

 

AND THEY DON’T HAVE THE RIGHT TO SAY, “PAPERS, PLEASE” EITHER.

 

THAT’S THE AMERICAN TRADITION.

 

BUT IF WE DON’T FIGHT WITH ALL OF OUR MIGHT FOR THIS TRADITION, WE’RE GOING TO LOSE IT, EVEN HERE IN THE LAND OF THE FREE AND THE HOME OF THE BRAVE.

 

THEY COULDN’T GET IT PASSED IN THE SENATE, SO IT’S TIME FOR SOME POLITICAL TRICKERY.

 

THEY DECIDE THEY WILL ATTACH IT TO THE BACK OF AN APPROPRIATION BILL FOR OUR TROOPS IN IRAQ.

 

IT WAS ONE OF THOSE MUST-PASS BILLS.

 

SO, IT GOES THROUGH ON FLYING COLORS, THEY PASS THE REAL I.D. ACT ON THE BACK OF A BILL THAT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THE REAL I.D. ACT.

 

THAT HAPPENED ON MAY 10, 2005.

 

PRESIDENT GEORGE W. BUSH SIGNED THE BILL THE VERY NEXT DAY, MAY 11, 2005.

 

NOW, THIS BILL SAID IT SHOULD BE ENFORCED BEGINNING MAY OF 2008.

 

THEY GAVE A THREE-YEAR WINDOW TO GET EVERYBODY USED TO IT, FOR ALL THE STATES TO ISSUE REAL I.D. COMPLIANT DRIVER’S LICENSES, THAT THESE LICENSES WOULD HAVE CERTAIN FEATURES SO THAT IT WAS CONSIDERED A SECURE I.D.

 

THEN, IT COULD BE USED FOR BOARDING AIRPLANES.

 

NOBODY PAUSED TO SAY, “WAIT A MINUTE.”

 

MOST ALL OF THE HIJACKERS ON 9/11 HAD LEGITIMATE I.D.

 

THEY COULD HAVE GOTTEN ON THOSE PLANES IF THEY WANTED TO.

 

NOBODY STOPPED TO DO THAT.

 

THEY SHOULD HAVE, BUT THEY DIDN’T BECAUSE THEY DIDN’T REALLY CARE ABOUT SECURITY, THEY WERE CARING ABOUT GETTING THIS LEVEL OF CONTROL, MOVING AMERICA INTO SOCIALISM.

 

THE STATES AWAKENED TO REALIZE WHAT’S GOING TO HAPPEN HERE AND THEY BEGAN TO PASS LAWS AGAINST THE REAL I.D. BECAUSE THE U.S. GOVERNMENT HAD HIJACKED THE STATE BUREAU OF MOTOR VEHICLES.

 

THEY HAD NO BUSINESS DOING THAT.

 

THAT POWER IS NOT GIVEN TO THE U.S. GOVERNMENT AND THE STATES BEGAN TO PASS LAWS AGAINST IT.

 

AND SOON 25 OF THE 50 STATES OF THE UNITED STATES HAVE PASSED LAWS OR RESOLUTIONS AGAINST IMPLEMENTING THE REAL I.D.

 

SOME BELIEVE REAL I.D. IS NOW DEAD.

 

HOWEVER, PEOPLE WERE NOT GIVING UP BECAUSE IN 2007 THERE WERE PEOPLE WHO TRIED TO PASS AN IMMIGRATION BILL.

 

AND THEY SAID, “WE NEED AN ENFORCEABLE, MANDATORY I.D. IN ORDER TO BE ABLE TO CURB IMMIGRATION.”

 

NOW, WE’VE CURBED IMMIGRATION FOR 230 YEARS BY ENFORCING OUR BORDERS, BUT SINCE PEOPLE WERE NO LONGER WILLING TO DO THAT — WE REALLY DIDN’T WANT TO KEEP FOREIGN LABOR OUT.

 

WE NEEDED FOREIGN LABOR TO FEED OUR LABOR MACHINE, WE DIDN’T HAVE ENOUGH WORKERS.

 

SO, THAT REALLY WASN’T THE PURPOSE BECAUSE THE PEOPLE THAT WERE PUSHING THIS BELIEVED IN WORLD GOVERNMENT, SO THEY REALLY WANTED, A GLOBAL I.D. SO, YOU DON’T NEED BORDERS ANYMORE.

 

WE NOW HAVE ELECTRONIC HANDCUFFS THAT WE CAN PUT ON EVERYBODY.

 

AND ONCE A PERSON HAS AN I.D. AND ONCE THAT I.D. IS USED FOR RENTING MOTELS, IT’S USED FOR PURCHASING THINGS, IT’S USED FOR WHERE YOU CAN WORK, IT’S USED LIKE I.D. IS USED RIGHT NOW.

 

ONCE THAT HAPPENS, THEN YOU START ESTABLISHING A TRAIL AND YOU CAN MONITOR THE ACTIVITY OF EVERYBODY.

 

IT BECOMES A FORM OF CONTROL.

 

AND THE BIBLE SAYS, ULTIMATELY, IT WILL EVEN CONTROL WHAT YOU BELIEVE POLITICALLY AND WHAT YOU BELIEVE SPIRITUALLY.

 

YOU SAY, “I DON’T THINK THAT’S EVER GOING TO HAPPEN.”

 

YOU’RE FORGETTING WHAT HAPPENED UNDER JOSEPH STALIN.

 

I WAS READING, JUST RECENTLY OF HIS BUTCHERING 20, 30 MILLION PEOPLE.

 

SOME PEOPLE THINK AS HIGH AS 60 MILLION PEOPLE WERE KILLED BECAUSE THEY WERE POLITICAL DISSIDENTS OR THEY HAD RELIGIOUS BELIEFS THAT STALIN COULD NOT TOLERATE.

 

SAME WAY IN CHINA UNDER MAO TSE TUNG.

 

THE CULTURAL REVOLUTION.

 

WE’VE HAD THE SAME THING OCCUR.

 

AND IF WE THINK IT CANNOT HAPPEN HERE, WE’RE FOOLISH.

 

WE’RE NOT STUDYING OUR HISTORY BOOKS.

 

IF WE YIELD THAT LEVEL OF CONTROL, SOME DAY THAT CONTROL WILL BE USED AGAINST US.

 

THAT’S THE REASON THIS IS A FIGHT THAT WE CANNOT AFFORD TO LOSE.

 

WELL, THE IMMIGRATION BILL CALLED FOR A MACHINE-SCANNABLE SOCIAL SECURITY CARD.

 

IT ESTABLISHED A NATIONAL DATABASE.

 

IF YOU WERE NOT IN THAT NATIONAL DATABASE, YOU WERE NOT ALLOWED TO HOLD A JOB.

 

EMPLOYERS WOULD HAVE TO TAKE YOUR CARD AND SCAN IT.

 

THAT WOULD BE HOOKED UP BY COMPUTER TO THE NATIONAL DATABASE UNDER HOMELAND SECURITY’S CONTROL AND THE IRS CONTROL AND SOCIAL SECURITY CONTROL.

 

AND IF YOU WERE NOT APPROVED, YOU COULD NOT BE HIRED.

 

IT BECAME ILLEGAL AND THE EMPLOYER WOULD BE SUBJECTED TO FINES AND POSSIBLY EVEN IMPRISONMENT, IF YOUR NAME WAS NOT IN THE DATABASE.

 

NOW, THE REASON THAT THIS IS SO DEADLY IS BECAUSE ONCE THAT DATABASE IS ESTABLISHED, THEN THE GOVERNMENT CAN PLACE ANY STIPULATION ON THAT DATABASE THAT THEY WANT TO.

 

AND OF COURSE, NO JOB, NO BUYING, NO SELLING.

 

THEN, THEY WENT ON TO ESTABLISH A THING CALLED E-VERIFY.

 

TODAY, ANY FIRM THAT HAS GOVERNMENT CONTRACTS IS REQUIRED TO USE THE E-VERIFY TECHNOLOGY ON EVERYONE THEY HIRE.

 

THAT BEGAN AS OF SEPTEMBER 8, 2009.

 

SO, THEY SAY IT’S VOLUNTARY, BUT IT’S NOT VOLUNTARY FOR ANYONE THAT DOES BUSINESS WITH THE U.S. GOVERNMENT.

 

AND THERE’S A LOT OF PEOPLE OUT THERE DOING BUSINESS WITH THE U.S. GOVERNMENT.

 

THIS IS ANOTHER WAY THE GOVERNMENT IS ATTEMPTING TO INTRODUCE A NATIONAL I.D. THROUGH THE BACK DOOR.

 

OKAY, ONCE AGAIN WE’VE GOT TO ASK THIS QUESTION: WHY IS THE GOVERNMENT SO DETERMINED TO IMPLEMENT A NATIONAL I.D.?

 

CONTROL, CONTROL, CONTROL. THEY WANT TO CONTROL WHETHER YOU PLANT A TREE IN YOUR FRONT YARD OR BACK YARD, THEY WANT TO CONTROL EXACTLY HOW YOU BUILD YOUR HOUSE.

 

THE CONTROL FACTOR IN THIS NATION AND AROUND THE WORLD HAS BECOME ABSOLUTELY SUFFOCATING AND THAT’S THE REASON THEY’RE PUSHING SO STRONG TOWARD THIS NATIONAL I.D. BUT HERE’S THE NEXT BIG QUESTION: ARE WE REALLY MOVING TOWARD A GLOBAL I.D.?

 

THE INTERNATIONAL CIVIL AVIATION ORGANIZATION, WHICH IS AN ARM OF THE U.N., HAS BEEN ASSIGNED TO OVERSEE INTERNATIONAL TRAVEL. THE ACRONYM FOR INTERNATIONAL CIVIL AVIATION ORGANIZATION IS ICAO.

 

BY APRIL OF 2010, 170 NATIONS WHO ARE MEMBERS OF THE ICAO HAD BEGUN ISSUING PASSPORTS IN TOTAL CONFORMITY TO THE REQUIREMENTS OF THIS INTERNATIONAL CIVIL AVIATION ORGANIZATION.

 

SO, WHAT’S THIS DOING?

 

THAT MEANS THE PASSPORT IS A GLOBAL I.D., AND YOU CANNOT TRAVEL WITHOUT IT.

 

YOU TRY IT.

 

YOU GET TO THE BORDER, THEY’RE GOING TO SEND YOU HOME, SORRY, YOU CANNOT DO IT.

 

SO, THIS GLOBAL I.D. SYSTEM IS NOW BEING FOISTED UPON US THROUGH THE UNITED NATIONS AND THE COOPERATION OF ALL THE COUNTRIES OF THE WORLD.

 

THESE REQUIREMENTS INCLUDE AN RFID CHIP.

 

ALL U.S. PASSPORTS TODAY HAVE AN RFID CHIP THAT CAN BE PICKED UP WITH A RADIO RECEIVER AS YOU WALK PAST, AND ALSO THEY MUST HAVE A DIGITAL PHOTO BECAUSE NOW THE ICAO HAS DETERMINED THAT FACIAL RECOGNITION IS THE TECHNOLOGY THAT WILL BE USED FOR BIOMETRIC IDENTIFICATION.

 

WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?

 

THAT MEANS IF YOU’RE IN AN AIRPORT AND THEY CAN, GET A PICTURE OF YOUR FACE, THEY KNOW WHERE YOU ARE AT ALL TIMES.

 

NOW, WHAT’S THE PROBLEM?

 

IF YOU’VE DONE NOTHING WRONG, WHAT’S THE PROBLEM?

 

WELL, ASK ADOLPH HITLER.

 

ASK THE JEWS THAT LIVED UNDER HIS BRUTAL REGIME.

 

ALL WE NEED IS FOR THE WRONG PERSON TO GRAB POWER AND WHAT WAS DESIGNED FOR GOOD IS GOING TO BE SO TERRIBLE, SO HORRIBLE.

 

AND THAT’S THE REASON WE’RE GOING THE WRONG DIRECTION RIGHT NOW.

 

THE U.S. HEAD OF VISITOR TRACKING PROGRAM HERE IN THE UNITED STATES HAS OPENLY SAID HE WANTS A GLOBAL I.D.

 

NOW, THE MAN’S NAME IS JIM WILLIAMS.

 

HE’S THE DIRECTOR OF THE U.S. VISIT PROGRAM WITHIN THE DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY.

 

AND HE SAID HE WANTS TO JOIN FORCES WITH DISTRICT DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY AGENCIES TO DEVELOP A GLOBAL IDENTIFICATION SYSTEM.

 

THE STORY JUST GOES ON AND ON.

 

SO, ARE WE MOVING INTO A CASHLESS SOCIETY RIGHT NOW?

 

CERTAINLY WE ARE.

 

BANGKOK, THAILAND HAS TAKEN A MAJOR STEP TOWARD CREATING A CASHLESS SOCIETY.

 

NOW, THAT’S WHEN THE NUMBERING SYSTEM’S GOING TO REALLY WORK LIKE THE BIBLE SAYS IT WILL.

 

SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA, JULY 27, 2010, OVER THE P.R. NEWS WIRE, BANGKOK SMART CARD SYSTEM HAS SECURED A MAJOR COMPONENT IN DEVELOPING THEIR VISION TO DIRECT BANGKOK TOWARDS A CASHLESS SOCIETY, ANNOUNCING A DESIGN AND DELIVERY OF A SMART CARD CLEARING HOUSE SOLUTION FOR MICRO PAYMENTS.

 

NOW, IN NIGERIA THEY ARE SET UP TO BECOME A CASHLESS SOCIETY ACCORDING TO E-MONEY NEWS AUGUST 8, 2010.

 

NIGERIA IS SET TO TAKE A HUGE STRIDE TOWARDS BECOMING A CASHLESS SOCIETY FOLLOWING THE RELEASE OF A NEW MOBILE BANKING SERVICE.

 

THE MONEY BOX PLATFORM ALLOWS USERS TO MAKE BANK TRANSACTIONS OVER A MOBILE PHONE IN CONJUNCTION WITH A SCRATCH CARD.

 

IT CAN BE USED WITH ANY MOBILE PHONE, ANYWHERE, ANY TIME AND ON ANY MOBILE NETWORK WITH ANY BANK AND BY ANY INDIVIDUAL.

 

THE IRISH ARE NOW MOVING TOWARD CASHLESS BANKING.

 

THAT WAS REPORTED ON DECEMBER 22, 2009.

 

SO, ARE WE MOVING TOWARD A CASHLESS SOCIETY.

 

GREECE HAS NOW OUTLAWED ALL CASH TRANSACTIONS OVER 1500 EUROS AS OF JANUARY 1, 2011.

 

EVERY TRANSACTION ABOVE 1500 EUROS BETWEEN A PERSON AND A BUSINESS OR BETWEEN BUSINESSES WILL BE CONSIDERED ILLEGAL.

 

IT WILL BE A CRIME IF IT’S DONE BY CASH.

 

TRANSACTIONS WILL HAVE TO BE DONE THROUGH DEBIT OR CREDIT CARDS.

 

SO, HOW ABOUT A CHIP UNDER THE SKIN?

 

APPLIED DIGITAL SOLUTIONS HAS PRODUCED AN INJECTABLE COMPUTER CHIP ABOUT THE SIZE OF A GRAIN OF RICE.

 

IT’S KNOWN AS THE VERICHIP.

 

THIS TECHNOLOGY HAS BEEN USED FOR ANIMALS FOR SEVERAL YEARS, YOU KNOW THAT IN 2004 THE U.S. FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION APPROVED THE INJECTION OF THIS CHIP UNDER THE SKIN FOR THE MAINTENANCE OF MEDICAL RECORDS.

 

IF YOU HAVE A WRECK, AND YOU’RE UNCONSCIOUS, THE MEDICS CAN JUST SCAN THE CHIP, THEY’LL KNOW WHAT MEDS YOU’RE ON, WHAT YOU’RE ALLERGIC TO.

 

AND A LOT OF PEOPLE BELIEVE THAT THAT’S THE REAL ANSWER FOR TOTAL IDENTIFICATION FROM CRADLE TO GRAVE.

 

FURTHERMORE, THIS COULD BE USED FOR FINANCIAL TRANSACTIONS AS WELL.

 

IT’S ACTUALLY BEING USED AT THE BAJA BEACH CLUB IN BARCELONA, SPAIN.

 

THEY’RE USING IT RIGHT NOW.

 

YOU CAN BE CHECKED IN, YOU CAN BE INJECTED WITH THE COMPUTER CHIP.

 

SINCE YOU’RE GOING TO BE IN YOUR BATHING SUIT ALL WEEK, NO BILLFOLDS, NO PURSES.

 

THEY’RE USING IT FOR FINANCIAL TRANSACTIONS RIGHT NOW.

 

NOW, LET’S REMEMBER THE SCRIPTURE, IT SAYS THAT EVERY PERSON IS GOING TO HAVE TO HAVE A NUMBER.

 

AND IT SAYS IN VERSE 18 OF CHAPTER 13 THAT THE TOTAL OF THIS NUMBER WILL BE 666.

 

NOW, IN THIS PARTICULAR PASSAGE THE ORIGINAL GREEK WAS CHI XI STIGMA.

 

ACCORDING TO STRONG’S GREEK DICTIONARY, CHI XI STIGMA IS THE ORIGINAL GREEK FOR 666, THAT WAS TRANSLATED 666.

 

NOW, HERE IS SOMETHING REALLY SCARY.

 

THAYER’S GREEK DICTIONARY GIVES A MOST INTERESTING DEFINITION OF THE WORD “STIGMA.”

 

IT COMES FROM A PRIMARY WORD “STIZY.”

 

WHICH MEANS TO STICK, OR PRICK WITH A MARK INCISED OR PUNCHED, FOR RECOGNITION OF OWNERSHIP.

 

WHEN YOU GET THIS COMPUTER CHIP UNDER YOUR SKIN, THEY USE A NEEDLE, THEY STICK YOU, AND THEY PUT THE MARK IN.

 

I DO NOT KNOW WHETHER THAT’S THE WAY THE MARK OF THE BEAST IS GOING TO BE IMPLEMENTED OR NOT.

 

ALL I KNOW IS THE TECHNOLOGY IS IN PLACE.

 

IT IS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW.

 

IT’S VERY IMPORTANT THAT ALL OF US UNDERSTAND THE MARK OF THE BEAST IS NOT A POSSIBILITY, IT IS AN ABSOLUTE CERTAINTY.

 

YOU AND I ARE GOING TO FACE IT.

 

AND OBVIOUSLY WITH ALL THIS INFORMATION, WE NOW KNOW THAT IT’S MUCH CLOSER THEN WE THINK.

 

THE CRITICAL THING IS FOR YOU AND ME TO BE READY.

 

THE BIBLE SAYS, “ALL WILL WORSHIP THE BEAST AND TAKE HIS MARK, EXCEPT THOSE WHOSE NAMES ARE IN THE LAMB’S BOOK OF LIFE.”

 

WHATEVER YOU DO, MAKE SURE YOUR NAME IS IN THE LAMB’S BOOK OF LIFE.
