Deuteronomy 7:5 But thus shall ye deal with them; ye shall destroy their altars, and break down their images, and cut down their groves, and burn their graven images with fire.
Thus, we must reiterate, to any and everyone who’ll listen: Be very careful of those “Little Bow Wows”
[Patriarchs & Prophets pp 717] The work of the enemy is not abrupt; it is not, at the outset, sudden and startling; it is a secret undermining of the strongholds of principle. It begins in apparently small things—the neglect to be true to God and to rely upon Him wholly, the disposition to follow the customs and practices of the world.
When the mark of the beast rears its head across the globe, those who have been accustomed to the habit of bowing will find it very difficult to resist the tsunami of religious, political, and social pressure to bow, because every valid reason, and every benefit for bowing would be put forth as reasons why folks should acquiesce.
Then it will be that those little “Bow Wows” would kick into high gear, as the internal force of habit, as well as the external forces of social pressure will put a stranglehold on conscience and very many people will end up bowing, even if they may not agree with the beast.
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. 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.
May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!
