I encourage you to read Daniel 7 and Revelation 13
and draw the parallels. Also few verses for your understanding.
Daniel 7:23-26
King James Version (KJV)
[SUP]
23 [/SUP]Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be diverse from all kingdoms, and shall
devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces.
[SUP]
24 [/SUP]And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings.
[SUP]
25 [/SUP]And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.
[SUP]
26 [/SUP]But the judgment shall sit, and they shall take away his dominion, to consume and to destroy it unto the end.
Revelation 13:16-18
King James Version (KJV)
[SUP]
16 [/SUP]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:
[SUP]
17 [/SUP]And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
[SUP]
18 [/SUP]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.
Revelation 14:8-12
King James Version (KJV)
[SUP]
8 [/SUP]And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.
[SUP]
9 [/SUP]
And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand,
[SUP]10 [/SUP]The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:
[SUP]
11 [/SUP]And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.
[SUP]
12 [/SUP]Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.
If it has to be such a great risk to take the mark and affecting all, it means it should be the epitome of all unrighteousness encompassing all , not just 1 or 2 instances(e.g Rome, Islam etc). What is it ?.
One verse that comes to mind is.
Matthew 24:29-31
King James Version (KJV)
[SUP]
29 [/SUP]Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the
sun 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:
[SUP]
30 [/SUP]And 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 in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
[SUP]
31 [/SUP]And he shall send 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.
Sun (e.g Rome which had Sun as it image)
Moon(E.g Islam which has moon as its image)
Stars ( Secret Societies [e.g Freemasonry the five pointed stars, all corrupt governments, organizations, religious institutions, which weary out the saints of the most high God).
Google (sun moon and stars relating to bible, and see how it relates to judgements of all things that oppose God)
Few thing I had captured a long time back below.
