Amos 5:18 Woe unto you that desire the day of the Lord! to what end is it for you? the day of the Lord is darkness, and not light. 19 As if a man did flee from a lion, and a bear met him; or went into the house, and leaned his hand on the wall, and a serpent bit him.
When the twin towers in New York city were hit by those planes, and the buildings were set on fire, the persons who got trapped on the higher floors were faced with two bad choices, either stay put, and be burned, or jump from the buildings. Any which way, the result would be the same. Persons who are not found in Christ when the mark of the beast is unleashed, will be facing one of two bad choices.
In fact, for those who understand what is coming in the future, the mark of the beast, on a personal level is really more about food than about the Sabbath, because there are many persons who now believe in the 7th day sabbath, who would end up taking the mark. 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.
Revelation 13:17 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. During the mark of the beast, the prince of darkness will seek total and irreversible dominion of the mind and he will use the channel of food, to bring about a condition where those who are not found in Christ, will find themselves between the devil and the deep blue sea.
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 God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
