Revelation 13:11 And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spoke as a dragon. 12 And he exercises all the power of the first beast before him, and causes the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.
The Bible has given us great prophetic waymarks so that we might know where we are in the stream of time. We are living at a time when the unthinkable is becoming the new abnormal, and things that we thought of as set in stone are now being shattered to pieces in a very short period of time. The prophecies pointing to the last days of earth’s history, must therefore be studied very carefully, for a correct understanding of them will shape choices and decisions that the Christian makes.
For instance, if indeed prime time is at our doorsteps, we would need to be found in the latter rain mode of thought and action. The latter rain mode is a completely different way of doing things where normal living and your everyday duties would have to switch gears, and give way to those activities you find in the book of Acts.
Thus, if as it seems, that indeed the stars are lining up, and the prophecies are becoming a reality, those who know what’s coming would need to have a very serious talk with God, as per regrouping, meaning that we will need God to direct our every move. When ever any hurricane is churning in the Atlantic, with a predicted landfall in the United States, most insurance companies find it necessary to do things differently.
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!
