this-i-say

"Be you also ready: for in such an hour you think not the Son of man cometh" (Matt. 24:44).

Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep (die), but we will all be changed -- In a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. For the perishable must clothe itself with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality, then the saying that is written will come true: "Death has been swallowed up in victory." "Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting?" The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, my dear brothers, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.

The news as well as lay people, are always talking about super- powers, let me say this, there is a time coming real soon, when Satan will have super power beyond super-power, for forty two months there will be horror on this earth, as never before. He will wield power for seven years, the first three and a half will be of a false peace, but the last three and a half will be almost beyond human endurance, all hell will break loose. John refers to the antichrist as "The Beast" he is the embodiment of evil. The antichrist will be ruled by Satan himself. He will appear as a political leader and have supernatural power,he sets up a false sense of security and will deceive the whole world. Later on in about the middle of tribulation, he will take on the role of a religious leader and set himself up in the holy of holies, who is worshipped as God himself. Just think as there is the holy trinity, the father (God almighty) Jesus Christ (Gods only son) and the holy Spirit, there will also be a counterfeit trinity, an unholy one with Satan, Satan,the antichrist and his false prophet and he will rule the world.

And I saw a beast coming out of the sea. He had ten horns and seven heads, with ten crowns on his horns, and on each head a blasphemous name. 2 The beast I saw resembled a leopard, but had feet like those of a bear and a mouth like that of a lion. The dragon gave the beast his power and his throne and great authority. 3
One of the heads of the beast seemed to have had a fatal wound, but the fatal wound had been healed. The whole world was astonished and followed the beast. 4 Men worshiped the dragon because he had given authority to the beast, and they also worshiped the beast and asked, "Who is like the beast? Who can make war against him?"
5 The beast was given a mouth to utter proud words and blasphemies and to exercise his authority for forty-two months. 6 He opened his mouth to blaspheme God, and to slander his name and his dwelling place and those who live in heaven. 7 He was given power to make war against the saints and to conquer them. And he was given authority over every tribe, people, language and nation. 8 All inhabitants of the earth will worship the beast all whose names have not been written in the book of life belonging to the Lamb that was slain from the creation of the world. 9 He who has an ear, let him hear. 10 If anyone is to go into captivity, into captivity he will go. If anyone is to be killed with the sword, with the sword he will be killed. This calls for patient endurance and faithfulness on the part of the saints.

11 Then I saw another beast, coming out of the earth. He had two horns like a lamb, but he spoke like a dragon. 12 He exercised all the authority of the first beast on his behalf, and made the earth and its inhabitants worship the first beast, whose fatal wound had been healed. 13 And he performed great and miraculous signs, even causing fire to come down from heaven to earth in full view of men. 14 Because of the signs he was given power to do on behalf of the first beast, he deceived the inhabitants of the earth. He ordered them to set up an image in honor of the beast who was wounded by the sword and yet lived. 15 He was given power to give breath to the image of the first beast, so that it could speak and cause all who refused to worship the image to be killed. 16 He also forced everyone, small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on his right hand or on his forehead, 17 so that no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of his name.
18 This calls for wisdom. If anyone has insight, let him calculate the number of the beast, for it is man's number. His number is 666.

The day is January 30-2006 and there is freedom to worship as we see fit, churches and bibles to read everywhere you look in America, but what if?? that was all taken away in a heartbeat, the bible says, that day is coming . I believe it is in the wings, waiting right now to take center stage. What if you had children and were told you couldn't buy food to feed them or medicine if they were sick, unless you took the Mark of the beast? you cannot own a house, a car, go out to eat or see a movie, you will have no rights without the mark and only death awaits you, your family and friends without it.( The ones who take the mark can buy and sell anything) In all my years on this earth, i have never seen the like of what is happening in today's world, serious natural disasters, earthquakes, flooding and enormous conflict, despair, and misery. Even the wealthy are having a hard time attempting to deal with the many disasters and famines that is already going on now, it is going to be a hundred fold in the tribulation
Matthew 10:28 (NIV) (Jesus speaking)

Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell.

The Bible contains unequivocal evidence that it is the Word of God and
Satan shows up from the beginning of the bible to the very end.
He is the the enemy of all humanity. Satan controls with lies, the whole world will be deceived by him in tribulation.

A believer in christ will find Persecution abounding in this time of trouble, many will be beheaded when they refuses to renounce Jesus and take the mark "666. You think not? I know it seems hard to believe but it is the full truth, if you don't take the mark of the beast, then like Alice in wonderland "Off with their heads" A Christian is already finding hatred in the world today. Oh yes, there will be some saved in the tribulation, not anyone who has already heard the word of God and rejected the Lord Jesus as savior, for them will be no remedy.

Claire and I have worked on this site for only a few years and one reason is to give God the Father glory and to tell about Jesus Christ, Gods son. It is also our hope to build a record that after we're gone, either through a natural death or the rapture, people who are left behind will find and read about the saving power of Christ Jesus. The site isn't meant to scare nor preach gloom and doom..but it is a wake up call. We encourage you to reach out to all who haven't heard the Gospel, that precious lost souls will be saved for Christ and for His glory!
