"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." (Revelation 13:16)
The End Times are here, my friends. The signs are all around us - if you have eyes to see.
Remember the old days when people scoffed at the idea of a one-world currency or global surveillance? Conspiracy theory, they said. Too far-fetched.
Well, wake up and smell the apocalypse. It's all happening, right in front of our faces. The technology exists today to make John's vision in Revelation a terrifying reality.
The Beast's Mark
The book of Revelation speaks of a "mark of the beast" that will be required to buy or sell. No cash, no crypto - just a chip in your forehead or right hand that tracks your every transaction.
Sound familiar? We've already seen the rollout of Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) and social credit systems that give governments total control. The infrastructure is in place. All that's missing is the mass adoption.
And make no mistake - they want that adoption. The powers that be are waging a psychological war to convince the sheep that this Orwellian future is inevitable, natural, even GOOD for us.
The Tribulation Begins
But the faithful know better. We see the warning signs all around us - the wars, the famines, the plagues. The "birth pangs" of the Great Tribulation.
Just as the prophet Daniel foretold, a "king of fierce countenance" rises to power, making "war with the saints" and "wearing out the holy people." (Daniel 7:21, 25)
This is no longer speculation, my friends. This is reality. The End Times have begun.
The Remnant Stands
So what do we do? How do we respond to this unfolding prophecy?
We must be like the three Hebrew children, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, who refused to bow to the false god, even at the risk of being thrown into the fiery furnace. (Daniel 3)
We must be like the apostles, who faced torture and execution rather than deny the truth they had witnessed.
We must be willing to lose our lives to save our souls. For what good is it to gain the whole world, but forfeit our very selves? (Mark 8:36)
The time has come to choose. Will you be among the faithful remnant, or will you surrender to the Beast?
The choice is yours. But the prophecy marches on.
"The truth doesn't hide. It waits for those brave enough to look."
