Revelation 13:15 And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.
CNN, Paul LeBlanc, 11/15 21: Michael Flynn, former National Security adviser, who pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI and was later pardoned…wants to make it clear that in the United States, "If we are going to have one nation under God -- which we must -- we have to have one religion." Flynn triggered a wave of backlash with his suggestion America should have one singular religion. "One nation under God, and one religion under God," he said. "I don't care what your ecumenical service is or what you are."
The former national security advisor was most likely referring to Christianity as being the “one religion.” There are several issues with that mode of thought which suggests that every American should become a Christian. The most immediate, and most pressing question would be: Which brand of Christianity will be chosen to take the lead? The Christianity which goes with the flow, or the peculiar Christianity of the Bible?
The next concern would be the issue of freedom of choice, and what measures will be taken to coerce persons who may beg to differ. The genius of true Christianity is that it allows persons of all different religious persuasions to live on the same street for it honors and preserves our God-given freedom to choose.
Revelation 13:16 And he causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads. 17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!
