I'm about to read two excerpts from two different Publications and what I'm about to reveal to you is a sure sign that the Beast system the Antichrist regime is already beginning to take shape whether we want to see it or not here's the first piece of information for you to consider according to the Electronic Frontier Foundation mandatory Nationwide identification systems have been implemented in a number of countries including Argentina Belgium Colombia Germany Italy Peru and Spain while these schemes vary by country individuals are typically assigned an ID number which is used for a broad range
of identification purposes large amounts of personal data such as name birth date place of birth gender eye color height current address photograph and other information is linked to this ID number and stored in a centralized database the article further goes on to state that many countries are now modernizing their ID databases to include biometric identifiers that authenticate or verify identity based on physical characteristics such as fingerprints Iris face and palm prints gate voice and DNA end quote so why is this important to know well the world is increasingly moving in the same direction when it
comes comes to the governing of society now the second piece of information I want to present to you is from a Christian publication and it provides a Biblical interpretation of this news about digital IDs I quote the Antichrist will not create or establish the systems used to control Humanity in the last days everything he will need to rule the world with technology will be in place before he arrives on the world stage with that said Believers today although they won't be f with taking the mark of the beast may experience some of the pains involved
in setting up that Antichrist system for example the world is moving quickly into the mandatory biometric national ID stage end quote what people don't realize is that when the Antichrist appears on the world stage he's not going to run around and begin setting up a system for people to buy and sell with his Mark that system will already be in place he will just enforce it he's not going to begin coordinating with various governments of the world these systems will already be there so with all of this you may be asking how bad will the
Antichrist be have you ever thought about that just how evil is this biblical figure that we're warned about throughout the Bible to begin with we have to focus on Revelation 13 now I want to read a few verses and then we can dive into the meaning of these Revelation 13 verse one begins by saying the dragon stood on the shore of the sea and I saw a beast coming out of the sea it had 10 horns and seven heads with 10 crowns on its horns and on each head a Blasphemous name the dragon is the
devil it's Satan himself and we know this because in Revelation 20: 2 the Bible clearly says he seized the dragon that anel ient serpent who is the devil or Satan and bound him for a thousand years so back to Revelation 13 the dragon stood on the shore of the sea and then a beast came out of the sea the Beast is widely believed by many biblical Scholars to be the Antichrist and here's why as I read chapter 13 I want you to listen to the power and ability given to this Beast I won't focus so
much on the symbolism described in the chapter but I want to focus on what the Bible says this Beast will do in the world verse 4 to8 reads people 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 wage war against it the Beast was given a mouth to utter proud words and blasphemies and to exercise its Authority for 42 months it opened its mouth to blasphemed and to slander his name and his dwelling place and those who live in
heaven it was given power to wage war against God's holy people and to conquer them and it was given authority over every tribe people language and Nation all inhabitants of the earth will worship the Beast all whose names have not been written in the Lamb's Book of Life the lamb who was slain from the creation of the world so here's what we can establish from this passage there will be people in this world who will worship and idolize the Antichrist because he will suffer what the Bible calls a fatal wound many speculate that it will
be an assassination attempt but whatever it is it'll be something that looks to be fatal but the Antichrist will somehow be healed and this will lead many to be filled with wonder and follow him moving on the Antichrist will openly [Music] blasphemed he will openly speak against Jesus Christ and seek to insult the name of the Lord think about that the Antichrist will be the Devil Himself but as a human he may initially be a politician a scholar a wealthy businessman whatever his background is his agenda will be clear and his stance will be be
clear he will stand against the Gospel of Jesus Christ and seek to be worshiped himself now he will be given power and authority on the earth for 42 months which is 3 and 1/2 years and within that time he will have power over every tribe and people and language Nation think about that for a moment if you have power over every tribe and people and language and Nation you must be in a position of global Authority you must be in a position of influence and complete domination if you're able to have power over every tribe
and people and language and Nation now we're not told how this power is manifested whether it's through sheer military force or some form of dictatorship regime or simply through the forces of Darkness whatever the case may be the Beast the Antichrist will have a huge evil in infuence over this world so with this being said how are we as children of God meant to take this passage of scripture in Revelation 13 let me tell you this the Devil is a threat but Jesus Christ is Almighty and has already defeated Satan the Antichrist may have some
power on this Earth but Jesus Christ is all powerful he holds all power on heaven and on Earth Earth evil may appear to be everywhere but the Holy Spirit Will Empower you wherever you are greater is he who is in you than he who is in the world if you and I can only keep our eyes focused on Jesus Christ if we can only keep our hearts saturated with the Gospel of Jesus Christ and our minds fixed on the word of God if we can only do this and it doesn't matter what the enemy does
or how much power he has in this world because in the Lord you can overcome every arrow sent by the enemy with God on your side you and I have nothing to fear while the whole world may choose to follow the Beast of the world or be led by the spirit of antichrist those who remain in Jesus Christ being led by the spirit of Truth those are the people who will be saved how do you focus on God instead of the obstacles of life it's a valid question right we all have obstacles in this life
we will all come face to face with things that will threaten our faith in the Lord we'll come up against opposition that may paralyze even the most courageous hearts with fear but you see over and over again in the Bible we're told not to worry we're told not to fear not to be dismayed not to be discouraged but instead to look to the Lord as your deliverer look to the Lord as your rescuer look to the Lord as your help and source of strength now this all sounds good but how do you practically do this
well in 2 chronicles 16 there is an interesting story that we can all learn from there is a king named ASA who initially started well in his walk with God initially ASA was a king who worked to remove idolatry among his people and lead the land to worship and honor the one true God Jehovah but King asa's story takes a turn when he decides to put his trust in man instead of God when faced with an obstacle this King deviated from his faith and sought to seek help from people instead of the Lord here is
what the Bible says in second 2 Chronicles 16: 7-9 at that time hanani the sear came to ASA king of Judah and said to him because you relied on the king of Aram Syria and did not rely on the Lord your God the army of the king of Aram Syria has escaped out of your hand were not the ethiop Ian and luam a huge army with a great number of Chariots and Horsemen yet because you relied on the Lord he placed them in your hand for the eyes of the Lord move to and fro throughout
the Earth so that he may support those whose heart is completely his you have acted foolishly in this therefore from now on you will have wars now from this story of King ASA we don't want to focus too much on this King and what he did but rather I want to highlight what the prophet of God hanani said to King ASA he said the eyes of the Lord move to and fro throughout the Earth so that he may support those whose heart is completely his this is what we should remember as children of God the
eyes of the Lord are seeking those who are fully committed in him those who are fully trusting in Him and so dear friend when You Face obstacles in life don't put your trust in people trust in God don't r on people or things trust in God Almighty because he is seeking for the eyes of the Lord move to and fro throughout the Earth just looking for the person who is fully committed and confident in [Music] him have you ever been in a state where you feel as though you've lost out you might feel as though
you've lost time or that you've lost out on some opportunities that could have really impacted your life you may feel as though you've lost out on relationships that could have been of great benefit to you now I've been there I have been in this position and I have prayed Lord I've lost so much time I've lost out on so many things would you please restore that which I have lost and let me tell you that we do serve a god of restoration in the Bible a demon-possessed man had an encounter with Jesus Christ the Bible
in Mark 5: 15 says then they came to Jesus and saw the one who had been demon-possessed and had the legion sitting and clothed and in his right mind and they were afraid this was a man who would dwell in the cemetery he was tormented and tortured by unclean spirits the Bible says night and day he was in the mountains and in the tombs crying out and cutting himself with stones but when this man encountered Jesus Christ he was restored he was made whole he was set free now we should also have the desire to
encounter the presence of God in our lives at some point an encounter that will revive and refresh us you may be feeling tired and weary from the battles you fought and you may possibly be worried that those same battles will be awaiting you in the morning but allow me to encourage you when you feel outnumbered when your problems look like they are an army marching in your direction do what blind Bemus did in Luke 18: 37-38 the Bible says they told him Jesus of Nazareth is passing by he called out Jesus Son of David have
mercy on me and so should you find yourself in need of divine intervention mention do what this man did and call out to Jesus Christ when you feel cornered and your back is against the wall when the enemy looks to have you surrounded then open your Bible to 2 Kings 6: 17-8 and draw strength from the fact that when Elisha's servant became fearful because they were surrounded by their enemies here's what the Bible says about Elisha's response then Elisha prayed and said oh Lord please open his eyes that he may see so the Lord opened
the eyes of the young man and he saw and behold the mountain was full of horses and Chariots of Fire all around Elisha and when the syrians came down against him Elisha prayed to the Lord and said please strike this people with blindness so he struck them with blindness in accordance to the prayer of Elisha so I encourage you to pray that God would open your eyes so that you would firstly not be afraid and secondly when God opens your eyes and you begin to see the hedge of protection around you and you begin to
see the angels that encamp around you you can begin to draw strength from that from the fact that Jesus Christ is on you your side when you feel tired and frustrated cry out in prayer cry out in Praise there is only but one God who can give you rest only Jesus can lead you beside Still Waters only Jesus Christ can renew your strength so don't be discouraged with what you're facing don't be disheartened at the events of today nor should you be pre occupied and worry about what could come tomorrow instead call unto Jesus Christ
today in this very moment whatever situation you face this day God wants you to call on him because his word in Isaiah 65: 24 it says before they call I will answer while they are still speaking I will hear Psalm 50:15 in the Bible says call upon me in the day of trouble I will deliver you and you shall glorify me and so I want to encourage you when you look at God's word when you look at his promises he says trust me in your times of trouble and I'll rescue you he says abide in
me and I will restore you he says come to me all who are weary and heavy laden and I will give you rest so let your hope be found in God he has the perfect solution each and every time so call on him whether it's day or night whether you're in a season of Darkness or light acts 2:1 17 says and if it shall come to pass in the last days says God that I will pour out of my spirit on All Flesh your sons and your daughters shall prophesy your young men shall see Visions
your old men shall dream dreams God has promised to pour out his Spirit on All Flesh in the last days now my prayer to the Lord is that I would not be left out of this outpouring promised in the Bible our heart's cry is that the Lord would pour out his Spirit upon us I encourage you to make sure your heart is not hardened to the call of Jesus Christ make sure your schedule is not so busy that you will miss your Divine appointment with God in your prayer closet blind bmus refused to let Jesus
just pass him by in Mark 10:47 the Bible says when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth he began to shout Jesus Son of David have mercy on me we too must have that same attitude we need to be crying out to the Lord don't pass by without pouring out your spirit over my life over my home over my family do not pass me by oh gentle savior we should be yearning for Jesus Christ of Nazareth to have mercy on us [Music]
