The World Wants Us to Accept Sin<\/strong>
“Tolerance toward people\u2014that\u2019s a virtue. Tolerance toward error\u2014that\u2019s a sin.<\/strong> God hates<\/strong> lying tongues and the liars who use them. That\u2019s why Isaiah 8:20 says, \u201cTo the law and to the testimony! If they do not speak according to this word, it is because no light is in them.\u201d<\/p>\n

I mean, listen to these familiar Scriptures. Jesus said, \u201cI am the way, the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father except through Me.\u201d Acts 4:12, \u201cThere is salvation in no other; for there is no other name under heaven . . . given among men by which we must be saved.\u201d Or John 3:36, \u201cHe who does not believe the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him.\u201d Or 1 Timothy 2:5, \u201cThere is one God, one mediator between God and man, the man Christ Jesus.\u201d Or 1 John 5:11 and 12, \u201cThis is the testimony, that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life.\u201d And that\u2019s that incompatibility. The truth is incompatible with all error.<\/p>\n

So in our little paradigm you start out with this: All truth is objective, understood by rationality, confirmed as the truth or veracity, carrying all authority, and consequently incompatible with any disagreeing idea. That\u2019s why,
2 Corinthians 10:5-8, we crush, we smash every idea raised up against the truth of God.”<\/p>\n

The following is from: https:\/\/www.gotquestions.org\/living-in-the-end-times.html<\/a> and https:\/\/bradtuttleministries.org\/are-we-in-the-end-times<\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0Luke 21:11 <\/a>\u00a0 \u00a0Here Luke lists some of the natural signs<\/strong> that will occur before Jesus\u2019 second coming: \u201cThere will be great earthquakes, famines and pestilences in various places, and fearful events and great signs from heaven.” While we shouldn\u2019t interpret every natural disaster as a sign of the end times, an increase in natural disasters seems to be a warm-up to what is coming next\u2014\u201cbirth pangs,\u201d as Jesus called them in Matthew 24:8.<\/a><\/p>\n

The Bible lists both positive and negative spiritual signs<\/strong>. In 2 Timothy 4:3\u20134<\/a>\u00a0we discover that many people will follow false teachers. We see now an increase in cultic groups, heresy, deception, and occultism, with many choosing to follow New Age or pagan religions. On the positive side,\u00a0Joel 2:28\u201329<\/a>\u00a0prophesies that there will be a great outpouring of the Holy Spirit. Joel\u2019s prophecy was fulfilled on the Day of Pentecost (Acts 2:16<\/a>), and we are still seeing the effects of that outpouring in revivals and Spirit-led Christian movements, and in the worldwide preaching of the gospel message.<\/p>\n

Along with the signs in the natural and spiritual realms, there are signs in society<\/strong>. The immorality rampant in society today is a symptom of mankind\u2019s rebellion against God. Abortion, homosexuality, drug abuse, and child molestation are proof that \u201cevildoers and impostors will go from bad to worse\u201d (2 Timothy 3:13<\/a>). We are now living in a hedonistic and materialistic society. People are lovers of themselves\u2014\u201clooking out for number one\u201d\u2014and doing what is right in their own eyes. All these things, and many more, can be seen around us every day (see\u00a02 Timothy 3:1\u20134<\/a>).<\/p>\n

The fulfillment of some end-times prophecies seemed impossible until the advent of modern technology<\/strong>. Some of the judgments in Revelation are more easily imagined in a nuclear age. In Revelation 13<\/a>, the Antichrist is said to control commerce by forcing people to take the\u00a0mark of the beast<\/a>, and, given today\u2019s advances in computer chip technology, the tools he will use may very well be here already. And through the internet, radio, and television, the gospel can now be proclaimed to the entire world (Mark 13:10<\/a>).<\/p>\n

And there are political signs<\/strong>. The restoration of Israel to her land in 1948 is the single most impressive fulfilled prophecy proving that we live in the end times. At the turn of the 20th century, no one would have dreamed that Israel would be back in her land, let alone occupying Jerusalem. Jerusalem is definitely at the center of geopolitics and stands alone against many enemies; Zechariah 12:3<\/a>\u00a0confirms this: \u201cOn that day, when all the nations of the earth are gathered against her, I will make Jerusalem an immovable rock for all the nations. All who try to move it will injure themselves.\u201d\u00a0Matthew 24:6\u20137<\/a>\u00a0predicted that \u201cnation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.\u201d \u201cWars and rumors of wars\u201d are definitely characteristic of this present age.<\/p>\n

These are just a few of the signs that we are living in the end of the age. There are many more. God gave us these prophecies because He does not want anyone to perish, and He always gives ample warning before pouring out His wrath (2 Peter 3:9<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Are we living in the end of the end times?<\/strong> No one knows when Jesus will return, but the rapture could occur at any moment. God will deal with sin either by grace or by wrath. John 3:36<\/a>\u00a0says, \u201cWhoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God\u2019s wrath remains on them.\u201d Those who do not accept Jesus Christ as their savior will remain under the Lord\u2019s wrath.<\/p>\n

The good news is that it\u2019s not too late to choose eternal life. All that is required is acceptance, by faith, God\u2019s free gift of grace. There is nothing you can do to earn salvation; Jesus has paid the price for you. Romans 3:24<\/a><\/p>\n

Are you ready for the Lord\u2019s return? Or will you experience His wrath?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mark of the Beast:<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Understanding the Mark of the Beast: The Mark of the Beast is mentioned in the book of Revelation (Revelation 13:16-18). This signifies allegiance to the Antichrist and rejection of God. New Christians should study and understand the biblical passages regarding the Mark of the Beast to discern its significance and implications.<\/p>\n

1. Revelation 13:16-18: “It also forced all people, great and small, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hands or on their foreheads, so that they could not buy or sell unless they had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of its name. This calls for wisdom: let the one who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man, and his number is 666.”<\/p>\n

2. Revelation 14:9-11: “A third angel followed them and said in a loud voice: ‘If anyone worships the beast and its image and receives its mark on their forehead or on their hand, they, too, will drink the wine of God\u2019s fury, which has been poured full strength into the cup of his wrath. They will be tormented with burning sulfur in the presence of the holy angels and of the Lamb. And the smoke of their torment will rise for ever and ever. There will be no rest day or night for those who worship the beast and its image, or for anyone who receives the mark of its name.'”<\/p>\n

These passages emphasize the implications of receiving the mark and the consequences for those who choose to worship the beast or pledge allegiance to it.<\/p>\n

While the primary passages above directly address the consequences of receiving the Mark of the Beast are Revelation 13:16-18 and Revelation 14:9-11, there are a few other passages that indirectly touch upon the topic:<\/p>\n

1. Revelation 16:2: “The first angel went and poured out his bowl on the land, and ugly, festering sores broke out on the people who had the mark of the beast and worshiped its image.”<\/p>\n

This verse is part of the description of the pouring out of the bowls of God’s wrath in the book of Revelation. It indicates that those who have the mark and worship the beast will experience physical affliction in the form of painful sores.<\/p>\n

2. Revelation 19:20: “But the beast was captured, and with it the false prophet who had performed the signs on its behalf. With these signs, he had deluded those who had received the mark of the beast and worshiped its image. The two of them were thrown alive into the fiery lake of burning sulfur.”<\/p>\n

This passage refers to the ultimate fate of the beast and the false prophet, who lead people astray and deceive them into worshiping the beast and receiving its mark. It states that they will be thrown into the lake of fire.<\/p>\n

These verses, along with the previously mentioned passages, highlight the severe consequences associated with receiving the Mark of the Beast. They underscore the importance of discernment and faithfulness to God, cautioning against aligning oneself with the beast or engaging in its worship.<\/p>\n

If you are a redeemed Christian now, no need to worry, we are not in the times of the Tribulation yet. Once the world is catapulted into the Tribulation, put your trust in Jesus and DON’T TAKE THE MARK OF THE BEAST!<\/p>\n

Matthew 24:32-35\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

32 \u201cNow learn this lesson from the fig tree: As soon as its twigs get tender and its leaves come out, you know that summer is near. 33 Even so, when you see all these things, you know that it[a] is near, right at the door. 34 Truly I tell you, this generation will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened. 35 Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.\u201d<\/p>\n

Matthew 24:36-51<\/a><\/p>\n

36 \u201cBut about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. 37 As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. 38 For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark; 39 and they knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away. That is how it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. 40 Two men will be in the field; one will be taken and the other left. 41 Two women will be grinding with a hand mill; one will be taken and the other left.<\/p>\n

42 Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come. 43 But understand this: If the owner of the house had known at what time of night the thief was coming, he would have kept watch and would not have let his house be broken into. 44 So you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him.<\/p>\n

45 Who then is the faithful and wise servant, whom the master has put in charge of the servants in his household to give them their food at the proper time? 46 It will be good for that servant whose master finds him doing so when he returns. 47 Truly I tell you, he will put him in charge of all his possessions. 48 But suppose that servant is wicked and says to himself, \u2018My master is staying away a long time,\u2019 49 and he then begins to beat his fellow servants and to eat and drink with drunkards. 50 The master of that servant will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour he is not aware of. 51 He will cut him to pieces and assign him a place with the hypocrites, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.\u201d<\/p>\n

Matthew 24
Temple Destruction and Other Signs
(Mark 13:1\u20138; Luke 21:5\u20139)
1\u202fAnd Jesus went out from the temple, and was going on his way; and his disciples came to him to show him the buildings of the temple. 2\u202fBut he answered and said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.
3\u202fAnd as he sat on the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?
4\u202fAnd Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man lead you astray.
5\u202fFor many shall come in my name, saying, I am the Christ; and shall lead many astray. 6\u202fAnd ye shall hear of wars and rumors of wars; see that ye be not troubled: for these things must needs come to pass; but the end is not yet. 7\u202fFor nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; and there shall be famines and earthquakes in divers places. 8\u202fBut all these things are the beginning of travail.
Witnessing to All Nations
(Mark 13:9\u201313; Luke 21:10\u201319)
9\u202fThen shall they deliver you up unto tribulation, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all the nations for my name\u2019s sake. 10\u202fAnd then shall many stumble, and shall deliver up one another, and shall hate one another. 11\u202fAnd many false prophets shall arise, and shall lead many astray. 12\u202fAnd because iniquity shall be multiplied, the love of the many shall wax cold. 13\u202fBut he that endureth to the end, the same shall be saved. 14\u202fAnd this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in the whole world for a testimony unto all the nations; and then shall the end come.
The Abomination of Desolation
(Mark 13:14\u201323; Luke 21:20\u201324)
15\u202fWhen therefore ye see the abomination of desolation, which was spoken of through Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place (let him that readeth understand), 16\u202fthen let them that are in Jud\u00e6a flee unto the mountains: 17\u202flet him that is on the housetop not go down to take out the things that are in his house: 18\u202fand let him that is in the field not return back to take his cloak. 19\u202fBut woe unto them that are with child and to them that give suck in those days! 20\u202fAnd pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on a sabbath: 21\u202ffor then shall be great tribulation, such as hath not been from the beginning of the world until now, no, nor ever shall be. 22\u202fAnd except those days had been shortened, no flesh would have been saved: but for the elect\u2019s sake those days shall be shortened. 23\u202fThen if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is the Christ, or, Here; believe it not. 24\u202fFor there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders; so as to lead astray, if possible, even the elect. 25\u202fBehold, I have told you beforehand.
The Return of the Son of Man
(Mark 13:24\u201327; Luke 21:25\u201328)
26\u202fIf therefore they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the wilderness; go not forth: Behold, he is in the inner chambers; believe it not. 27\u202fFor as the lightning cometh forth from the east, and is seen even unto the west; so shall be the coming of the Son of man. 28\u202fWhere ever the corpse is, there will the vultures be gathered together.
29\u202fBut immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: 30\u202fand then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. 31\u202fAnd he shall send forth his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
The Lesson of the Fig Tree
(Mark 13:28\u201331; Luke 21:29\u201333)
32\u202fNow from the fig tree learn her parable: when her branch is now become tender, and puts forth its leaves, ye know that the summer is nigh; 33\u202feven so ye also, when ye see all these things, know ye that he is nigh, even at the doors. 34\u202fVerily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all these things be accomplished. 35\u202fHeaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.
Readiness at Any Hour
(Genesis 6:1\u20137; Mark 13:32\u201337; Luke 12:35\u201348)
36\u202fBut of that day and hour knows no one, not even the angels of heaven, neither the Son, but the Father only. 37\u202fAnd as were the days of Noah, so shall be the coming of the Son of man. 38\u202fFor as in those days which were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, 39\u202fand they knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall be the coming of the Son of man. 40\u202fThen shall two men be in the field; one is taken, and one is left: 41\u202ftwo women shall be grinding at the mill; one is taken, and one is left.
42\u202fWatch therefore: for ye know not on what day your Lord cometh. 43\u202fBut know this, that if the master of the house had known in what watch the thief was coming, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken through. 44\u202fTherefore be ye also ready; for in an hour that ye think not the Son of man cometh.
45\u202fWho then is the faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath set over his household, to give them their food in due season? 46\u202fBlessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing. 47\u202fVerily I say unto you, that he will set him over all that he hath. 48\u202fBut if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord tarry; 49\u202fand shall begin to beat his fellow-servants, and shall eat and drink with the drunken; 50\u202fthe lord of that servant shall come in a day when he expects not, and in an hour when he knows not, 51\u202fand shall cut him asunder, and appoint his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.<\/p>\n

Matthew 25

The Parable of the Ten Virgins
1\u202fThen shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, who took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom. 2\u202fAnd five of them were foolish, and five were wise. 3\u202fFor the foolish, when they took their lamps, took no oil with them : 4\u202fbut the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. 5\u202fNow while the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept. 6\u202fBut at midnight there is a cry, Behold, the bridegroom! Come ye forth to meet him. 7\u202fThen all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. 8\u202fAnd the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are going out. 9\u202fBut the wise answered, saying, Peradventure there will not be enough for us and you: go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves. 10\u202fAnd while they went away to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage feast: and the door was shut. 11\u202fAfterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us. 12\u202fBut he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not. 13\u202fWatch therefore, for ye know not the day nor the hour.
The Parable of the Talents
(Luke 19:11\u201327)
14\u202fFor it is as when a man, going into another country, called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods. 15\u202fAnd unto one he gave five talents, to another two, to another one; to each according to his several ability; and he went on his journey. 16\u202fStraightway he that received the five talents went and traded with them, and made other five talents. 17\u202fIn like manner he also that received the two gained other two. 18\u202fBut he that received the one went away and digged in the earth, and hid his lord\u2019s money.
19\u202fNow after a long time the lord of those servants cometh, and maketh a reckoning with them. 20\u202fAnd he that received the five talents came and brought other five talents, saying, Lord, thou delivered unto me five talents: lo, I have gained other five talents. 21\u202fHis lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will set thee over many things; enter thou into the joy of thy lord.
22\u202fAnd he also that received the two talents came and said, Lord, thou delivered unto me two talents: lo, I have gained other two talents. 23\u202fHis lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will set thee over many things; enter thou into the joy of thy lord.
24\u202fAnd he also that had received the one talent came and said, Lord, I knew thee that thou art a hard man, reaping where thou didst not sow, and gathering where thou didst not scatter; 25\u202fand I was afraid, and went away and hid thy talent in the earth: lo, thou hast thine own.
26\u202fBut his lord answered and said unto him, Thou wicked and slothful servant, thou knew that I reap where I sowed not, and gather where I did not scatter; 27\u202fthou ought therefore to have put my money to the bankers, and at my coming I should have received back mine own with interest. 28\u202fTake ye away therefore the talent from him, and give it unto him that hath the ten talents.
29\u202fFor unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not, even that which he hath shall be taken away. 30\u202fAnd cast ye out the unprofitable servant into the outer darkness: there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.
The Sheep and the Goats
31\u202fBut when the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the angels with him, then shall he sit on the throne of his glory : 32\u202fand before him shall be gathered all the nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as the shepherd separate the sheep from the goats; 33\u202fand he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.
34\u202fThen shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world : 35\u202ffor I was hungry, and ye gave me to eat; I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink; I was a stranger, and ye took me in; 36\u202fnaked, and ye clothed me; I was sick, and ye visited me; I was in prison, and ye came unto me. 37\u202fThen shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee hungry, and fed thee? or athirst, and gave thee drink? 38\u202fAnd when saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee? 39\u202fAnd when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee? 40\u202fAnd the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it unto one of these my brethren, even these least, ye did it unto me.
41\u202fThen shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into the eternal fire which is prepared for the devil and his angels : 42\u202ffor I was hungry, and ye did not give me to eat; I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink; 43\u202fI was a stranger, and ye took me not in; naked, and ye clothed me not; sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not. 44\u202fThen shall they also answer, saying, Lord, when saw we thee hungry, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee? 45\u202fThen shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not unto one of these least, ye did it not unto me. 46\u202fAnd these shall go away into eternal punishment: but the righteous into eternal life.<\/p>\n
