From the last Review we are now in the seventh world empire, the revised rome. From the stature shown Nebucchadnezzar, it is the feet of the stature mixed with iron and clay. Since iron and clay cannot mix, then this last world emppire shall not be in agreement with regards to world peace; and cannot stand.
Therefore, the Lord shows us the emergence of the Antichrist and his false prophet in Revelation 13 from the world system of Government. This conclusively shows that Satan will raise a human being in this world from among the membership of the world rulers and give all his power to him and his false prophet to challenge God and to deceive those who do not walk in the faith of the righteousness of God in an attempt to destroy the mankind and send them to hell where he belongs. This chapter is telling us that ten nations will unite with the Antichrist to rule the world that shall be eventually be destroyed by Christ according to the will of God.
Let us see the contradiction of Satan against God. The Devil will use the Antichrist, his false prophet and those who will swing behind Satan to destroy many who oppose him. On the other hand our God will use His saints, the two prophets to preach to the world, and martyrdom of the saints and His two prophets in the faith of the righteousness of God to defeat Satan and His cohorts.
How will this human being be revealed to the world. Well, the Bible tells us that this servant of Satan recovered from a deadly wound, and will receive authority from the dragon, and be honoured by the people as if he were God. The people shall proclaim " who is like the beast? who is able to make war with him?". We have seen now in our time how the world is heading for unitary Government under one ruler. This will emerge from the present world system with the blessing of the revised Rome. From this one Government shall arise a charismatic leader with supernatural powers to reduce some of the effects of the plagues of the seven trumpets. This will bring an added poise to his popularity in the world so that the rest of the world leaders will stand with him to oppose our God. This man will emerge speaking abominable things against God and acting like God, and those whos eyes of understanding are blinded because of their pride will believe him and follow him in the Age of the Pale horse. However, believers must know and understand that all these things that shall befall the world in the last days are in the plan of God.
Why must this be so? I believe the whole world is in such a state of confusion, and there will be a serious global environmental changes, so that there will be a consensus among the opinion-leaders of each nation on the need for a centralised governing authority; and such opinions is being vented in this era of the black horse. We can see that Satan is pouring sins into the world now, and many are flowing into it. This is evident when we look at what is happening in this celebrity culture where fame and immorality have taken hold of nations. When his attempts to use sins to seperate believers from the Lord fails, his last stand will be to kill the saints who walk by faith in the righteousness of God who believe the gospel of the water and the Spirit. It is obvious that those who do not walk by this faith shall capitulate before the antichrist to receive the mark of the beast 666 or bow before the Anti-christ, the abomination of desolation- his image.
This man who shall receive authority from the dragon will blastpheme God and His angels in Heaven, and His saints. He will fight against the saints and overcome them. The plan of God according to Rev.13:8,"All who dwell on the earth will worship him, whose names have not been written in the Book of Life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world." This word of truth is telling us that only those who walk by the faith of the good news of the water and the Spirit shall be able to resist the anti-christ unto death. Remeber Rev.12:11 " And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death." Here we understand that the life (Blood) of Jesus was for the remission of sins that are past Rom.3:25. It is those who believe the gospel of the water and the Spirit can receive the remission of sins from their heart to walk in the faith that reisists the anti-christ to death because of the indwelling Holy Spirit. Therefore, Rev.13:8 is telling us that because of the extreme tirrany of the Anti-christ, those who have not received the remission of sins will not resist him, and will serve him.
Another beast coming out of the earth is the false prophet of the anti-christ who magnify the Anti-christ and perform many signs and wonders in his presence. He will threaten and kill those who do not obey him (Rev.13:11).This false prophet is the servsnt of the first beast- the Anti-christ. This false prophet will also receive authority from the Dragon and lead him to do miracles in his presence and to act like the Anti-christ and foster the people to worship the Anti-christ; the first beast that came out of the water.
We have been saved through grace that came by Jesus Christ our Lord who took our sins in His baptism by the laying on of the hands of John the Baptist and made us free from condemnation. He gave His blood ( life) for the remission of sins that are past. Since that day at Cavary when our Lord finished the work of redemption the whole world has continued in sinning to this day due to weakness of man. Everyone must come for the remission of their sins through believing that Jesus is the Son of God who came by water ( His Baptism) and Blod ( His life). The Lord expect all men to repent from unbelieve not the offering of prayers of repentance which does not give remission of sins. It is no use running to the cross of Jesus to confess one`s sins which have already been forgiven by Jesus by washing them away in His baptism because He took them from John the Baptist by the laying on of hands. By going to the cross for forgiveness one is asking amis and does not receive remission but the sins are still intact in the heart ( human spirit). We need to know that the forgiveness of sins and reimssion are two differnt things. No human being can receive eternal live without the remission of sins from the heart, and without remission there is no born again experience and no knowledge of the son of God. The scripture says "And this life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent."
Having been with the New life Mission now for many years have come to appreciate the sincererity of this Ministry to seek to get the whole world to know the difference between the forgiveness of sins and the remission of sins. I believe this is the passion of the New Life Mission and I am identified with like passion, and so should you.
