MARK OF THE BEAST

"I am writing to Timothy, my dear son.  Timothy, I thank God for you.  I remember your faith.  I long to see you.  Fan into flames the spiritual gift that God gave you when I laid my hands on you. Never be ashamed to tell others about our Lord.  Hold on to the pattern of wholesome teaching you learned from me - a pattern shaped by the faith and love that you have in Christ Jesus.  Through the power of the Holy Spirit who lives with in us, carefully guard the precious truth that has been entrusted to you."   Love,  Paul. (2 Timothy, chapt 1)

Timothy,  Carefully Guard the Precious Truth 

That Has Been Entrusted to You.   

Guard Truth, Timothy.  Guard the truths of the Word of God.   

In other words, Paul was saying to Timothy:  

Keep a sound doctrine ... 

For sound doctrine will deliver you from the snare of false teaching.   

The apostle Paul exhorted Timothy further in the third chapter:  "You should know this, Timothy, that in the last days there will be very difficult times.  You have been taught scripture from childhood.  Stay faithful to the things you have been taught."

In the book of Titus, Paul encouraged him to have a strong belief in the trustworthy message he was taught.  Paul could very well write the same words to believers today.   

We are in the last days and there are difficult times.  BUT, THANK GOD, WE HAVE HIS WORD TO ANCHOR OUR SOUL.  WE HAVE THE TRUTH OF THE WORD TO KEEP US STEADFAST.  

We are facing times never known to America.  During this season, teaching will appear with explanations and reasoning - attempting to account for the unusual.  We are in the last of the last days as I mentioned in my last blog.  

I do believe there are undercurrents and hidden agendas behind the corona virus.  Yes, there are control factors looming from actions of politicians and leaders.  I'm aware of the article in the Washington Times referring to HR 6666:

"A house resolution from Illinois Democrat Rep. Bobby Rush that would put Big Government in charge of tracking citizens' movements as they relate to COVID-19 mitigation efforts - even sending health bureaucrats to "individuals' residences, "as necessary," as the legislation states - has a most apt number: 6666.  

Mark of the beast.  Mark of the beast for a beastly, monstrously unconstitutional bill.  

Videos proclaim to add up the word 'corona' - and arrive at a total of "666."

Yes !!  Bill Gates is the vaccine father of the world.  He's the king of vaccine.  It's his goal to vaccine the entire world !!  Of course, they desire a follow-up with TRACE - a tracking system ... they MUST know who has the vaccine and who does not !!   It is called the TRACE Act... Testing, Reaching, and Contacting Everyone....in all its $100 billion price tag.  

For some time articles have claimed a certain 'chip' is the mark of the beast.  Everyone is on alert.  Is this the mark of the beast?  Is the mark of the beast here?  What is the mark of the beast?   I'm inclined to believe it is not a chip.  Chips can be removed. The mark of the beast will be a mark to determine if you worship the beast, the anti-christ, or not. With it you will be eternally lost, spiritually, but you will be able to buy and sell. Without it, you will be hunted and killed because you have not given allegiance to the anti-christ.

As someone pointed out: Technology can NEVER be the mark of the beast.  Micro-chips, satellites, I.D. cards, etc. may be used to help track and keep count of, but it cannot be the mark itself.  The true mark is a spiritual mark.   He further explains: The real mark of the beast is a spiritual mark that is received as a result of going against God and His laws.  It's a spiritual way of identifying who someone is and who they belong and pledge their allegiance to.

The TRUTH of the mark of the beast is found in the Word of God.  

Revelation 13:16-18  "And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:  And that no man might buy or sell, save he had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.  Here is wisdom.  Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six."

We are being set up to embrace a ONE WORLD GOVERNMENT.  Indeed.  

We are being conditioned to receive chips.  Indeed.  

We are being set up to be tracked.  Indeed.  

We are being set up for the tribulation period.  Indeed.  

We are being set up to receive the mark of the beast.  Indeed.

But, it is not here at this time.  

REAL TRUTH is this:  The church age has not ended.  

REAL TRUTH reveals that the church has not yet been raptured.

REAL TRUTH clearly shows that there is not yet one world leader.

REAL TRUTH declares that the call to receive the mark of the beast will appear when the anti-christ demands it. 

This is why sound doctrine matters.  We are as sheep.  Easily led.  Easily persuaded.  Sheep will run from what frightens them and they band together in large groups for protection from predators.  When one sheep moves, the rest will follow.... even if it does not seem to be a good idea.

We have a GREAT SHEPHERD who loves the sheep.  Even though we may not be worth loving, we need loving.  We need guidance.  We need TRUTH.  Follow the Good Shepherd.  

The Word of God is TRUTH.  The Word is our guide.  

While opportunities give way to conclusions, and often, sensationalism... let us be grounded and steadfast in doctrine, holding to Truth.

God will bring future events into play, but it will be on His Timetable.  

REAL TRUTH STILL STANDS.  

WITH EYES WIDE OPEN

We have already entered into the very last of the last days.

It's wise to live with Eyes Wide Open.  

The China Communist Party Corona Virus put our nation into a tailspin.  The first sign of catastrophe was the rush on toilet paper, of all things.  People panicked.  Then they cleared out the shelves of tp like a herd of five to six foot tall locusts.  That was the beginning.

Next came fear.  After that, came government rules.  Stay home.  Wear masks. Use gloves. Wash hands.  Social distancing. Stores marked people walking instructions on their floors.  "X" marks the spot.  Stand here.  Arrows at the end of aisles.  Do not enter.  Enter here.   

Later, there came lawlessness, but not from common citizens.  Lawlessness, or, overreaching, came from a random few of those in authority.  I viewed a video of one woman who was handcuffed and wrestled to the ground by police because she didn't have her mask on correctly.  Of course, she had much resistance, but, I might not have been so happy about the encounter, either.  A governor revoked a seventy-seven year old barber's license because he didn't obey her command to NOT open his shop for business.

A Power surge (along with major ego's) manifested openly among a few state governors and city mayors.  It's their time to shine!  And they grabbed the opportunity to be in charge.  Albeit, some leaders took protective measures to slow the spread of the virus, yes, but still, far too many used the crisis and became nothing short of a tyrant.

There are three steps used to remake a culture.

1.  Problem
2.  Reaction
3.  Solution

1. PROBLEM.   The world has a problem.  The China Communist Party Corona Virus.  If we open our eyes, we will see that SOME in our nation discussed a crisis that could happen.  Is it a coincidence that it did happen?  Nah.  OK.  SO WE HAVE A PROBLEM.  A world-wide ... nation-wide ... problem.  Never waste a crisis.  Next move?

2.  REACTION.  Watch how the people will respond to the problem.  Fear?  Good.  That's what we want.   Let's feed it with exaggerated statistics.  Their reaction to the problem gives us an open door called, control.  

3.  SOLUTION.  Lockdown!  Close businesses. Quarantine healthy people.  Release criminals from prisons.  Close churches!  Arrest pastors who attempt to have church - even if the people are isolated in their cars in the church parking lot.  

Churches must close but abortion clinics may remain open.  Abortion is essential, after all !!  Do what we say, how we say it, for as long as we tell you ... to ...  do what we say!  After all, We know what is best for you, because we are the leaders and we are above you and we are in charge!    Take note little people, as they tell you that this is your New Normal.   

The mayor of Los Angeles said that his city will "never be fully open" until there is a cure for the novel coronavirus.   Bill Gates says we should stay ... stay ... in lockdown ... for 18-24 months, and wait until everyone is tested and vaccinated - with his vaccine.  

Dr. Fauci mentioned that we may not be able to open our public schools in the fall !!  Really ?   It's mid May of 2020.  I don't have room in this blog to list all if this man's connections with liberals.  But, they are many. Scary.

WITH EYES WIDE OPEN ... This is the day that we must be "wise as serpents and harmless as doves."  Matthew 10:16

WITH EYES WIDE OPEN ... We recognize the signs of the times.  We're in the last of the last days.  We are seeing, with our own eyes, daily events ushering in last days prophecies.  We are seeing changes in our world and in our own country that never, never would have been thought of before.  

Christians, we are in the early throes of struggling for freedom of worship.  Our freedom of expression is being attacked by a select number of people called Facebook's Supreme Court.  Recently, a new member appointed to the court is an Islamist with allegiance to the Muslim Brotherhood.  Liberal posts on Facebook and Instagram have free reign, but if a conservative dares to post opinions or revealing information opposite of the liberal agenda - katiebarthedoor! That post will be removed because it goes against their standards.  What they really mean is: your post does not agree with our agenda - so you are wrong - and we will take it down, because we can!  

Here is the real truth:  Facebook’s “Supreme Court,” the independent oversight body has been tasked with making decisions on controversial content issues, including online extremism, hate speech, harassment, and user privacy and security related to Facebook and Instagram. Once assigned to this position, they stated that they cannot be removed until their term expires.  Zuckerberg is in agreement with this policy.  

LET'S GET OUR EYES WIDE OPEN, FOLKS.  Take a good look at a plan for Socialism.  Prepare for persecution Christians and conservatives.  

I shared a meme on my group page, End Time News, stating, "If people were told to get into boxcars to be taken to 'virus protection camps' many of them would rush to get in line."  

Regrettably, it's true.  Again, it's the formula for cultural change.  Problem.  Reaction.  Solution.  

WITH EYES WIDE OPEN - we are watching one certain political party move with determination to lead us into a New World Order.  They repeatedly declare they are working for the good of The American People.  Not so.

WITH EYES WIDE OPEN - We see clearly that the stage is being set quickly for the coming of the Lord.  The Rapture of the Church. Our Blessed Hope.

As one pastor/author wrote: If you see these things occurring commonly or on a widespread basis, you are to take it as a signal that we have passed across the line and have entered into the final chapter of history as we have known it...hurtful, harmful, dangerous, unpredictable, uncontrollable, high-risk periods of time will come.

WITH EYES WIDE OPEN - It's time to live with an eternal perspective.  Life in America as we have known it ... is changing.  

WITH EYES WIDE OPEN - Our children must be taught Truth.  We cannot allow them to be swallowed up in the world system proclaimed by progressives.  

WITH EYES WIDE OPEN - Let's dig our heels in the dirt and say 'NO' to liberal pressure.  Let's rise and sound the alarm.  Let's pull our children into our arms and lead them into the ark of safety ... before the door shuts and the strong rains of an anti-christ mentality come upon us suddenly.  

Today, we may proclaim as the minor prophet, Habakkuk, in chapter 3 .... 

17) Even though the fig trees have no blossoms,
    and there are no grapes on the vines;
even though the olive crop fails,
    and the fields lie empty and barren;
even though the flocks die in the fields,
    and the cattle barns are empty,
18 18) yet I will rejoice in the Lord!
    I will be joyful in the God of my salvation!
19 19) The Sovereign Lord is my strength!

WITH EYES WIDE OPEN, 

WE WILL NOT BOW.  

WE WILL NOT BURN.  

WE WILL NOT BEND.

STAY STRONG, AMERICA.
