If
you're not at least somewhat familiar with the Bible the things I am writing in
this column will probably not make a lot of sense to you.
I
don't claim to be a learned Bible scholar and I'm certainly not a prophet but
what I write is my humble opinion based on my reading of God's Holy Word and the
writings of people whose knowledge and interpretation of the Bible I respect.
There
is a lot of talk these days about a one-world government. And indeed some day
there will be. One it will be portrayed as Shangri La and will make so much sense
to the secular world that they'll swallow it hook line and sinker.
The
leader of this government will appear on the scene as a genius, a problem solver
the likes of which this planet has never seen, charismatic, dynamic, attractive,
a man with all the answers to world peace, world plenty, the energy problem, hunger,
disease and all the myriad afflictions of mankind.
I
don't believe this will happen overnight, I don't think he will appear on the
evening news and declare himself the leader of the world. But the things he proposes
are going to sound so wonderful to a horribly troubled planet that it will turn
to him giving over the sovereign power of nations into his hand.
He
will impose a cashless society. You won't need to carry cash anymore so nobody
can steal it from you, you won't be able to overspend your credit limit and go
into debt because every transaction you make will be immediately noted and the
money, which you never see, is deducted from your account by a central mega supercomputer.
And
how do you access this utopian existence? Simple, you just have a mark put into
your hand or on your forehead which, in my opinion will be a microchip embedded
under the skin which holds
all your personal history and lets the government
know every transaction and your whereabouts 24/7.
That
means if you're wanted by the law they can locate and arrest you. And you can't
slip across international borders and hide in another country, because there won't
be any international borders.
Sounds
like a sensible, orderly society doesn't it? Well for those who accept the computer
chip in their hand or head, it will be for three and one half years. Those without
it can't buy anything or sell anything and will eventually be put to death for
not accepting the mark.
The
problem with the chip or the mark is that it is a one-way ticket to an eternity
in hell. It means that you've completely turned your back on God and given your
allegiance and your soul to the prince of darkness.
I'm
sure that by now most of you know that I'm talking about the mark of the beast
and the seven-year reign of the antichrist, three and a half years of peace and
three and a half years of hell on earth.
The
more chaos, the more crime, the more godlessness the world plunges into the more
it sets the stage for the antichrist, who will step on the world stage in a time
of dire and global crisis and present answers to impossible questions and solutions
to unsolvable problems that will simply astound the whole earth.
He
will be hailed as the one man who can bring peace and prosperity to the earth,
a benevolent, ends all, be all global leader who will do away with war and hunger.
At
the end of three and a half years he will walk into a temple in Israel and declare
himself to be Almighty God and all hell will break loose. Slaughter and chaos
will be totally unprecedented with vast numbers of people destroyed and unimaginable
destruction of the earth. From then on there will never be another day of peace
on earth until the second coming of Jesus Christ.
The
first time I heard about the Book of Revelation and the antichrist I was very
young and it was impossible for even the most astute Bible scholar to figure out.
But as time has gone by and knowledge and technology have exponentially increased
the pieces have fallen in place and the time of the antichrist could happen very
soon.
The
antichrist could well be alive somewhere on planet earth
preparing for the
day of his power and he will be incredibly powerful.
I'm
thankful that the God I serve is infinitely more powerful.
Pray
for our troops

Bless America
