All Roads Lead to Revelation 13. Part [1] 06/29/2025 (Morning thought)

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!

The Angel In The Sky. Part [18] 06/29/2025 (Evening thought)

1st Chronicles 21:27 And the Lord commanded the angel; and he put up his sword again into the sheath thereof.

In our day, if individuals desire a change of fortunes, there must be deep soul searching and turning away from the perspectives and deceptions that too many have indulged. The Lord is merciful, and He takes no pleasure in our afflictions, but we must never try to rush Him into undoing the mess we got ourselves into.

There came a time in the narrative when the angel in the sky was commanded to put away his sword, but the timing of deliverance is entirely up to God, and we are not to get all riled up, and upset with Him if we feel He isn’t moving as fast as we would like. It takes time for truth, mercy, justice and retribution to do their appointed work, and therefore, if folks have made well-informed bad choices, we should be willing to wait on The Lord for His mercy to be made manifest.

In the mean time we will have to bite the proverbial bullet, and we’ll have to hunker down in deep soul searching, but at the appointed time, God will hear and answer the prayers that are being lifted up in sincerity and truth. We therefore end with a passage of scripture that should help us to look beyond that which is seen to that which is eternal, for tribulations will not last forever, and the time is coming soon when God will make wrongs right.

Hebrews 12:11 Now, no chastening for the present seems to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yields the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby. 12 Wherefore lift up the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees; 13 And make straight paths for your feet, lest that which is lame be turned out of the way; but let it rather be healed.

May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
