I wrote this quickly so it is a little fragmented, but I think it shows the main point.
A proper study would show it much more clearly.
I've been a Christian in my heart as long as I can remember. I actually became familiar with JESUS back in the 70s. The reason that I say that I was saved in the last age is Ephesians 1:4.
Eph 1:4 According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:
Eph 1:5 Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,
And how do I know I'm one of GOD'S elect?
Notice Ephesians 1:4. It says we are predestined from the FOUNDATION of the world.
Now, who is going to worship the devil?
Rev 17:8 The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.
Notice that Rev 17:8 says 'and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were NOT written in the book of life FROM the foundation of the world'.
Here is the definition of 'wonder' from the Greek dictionary:
G2296
θαυμάζω
thaumazō
thou-mad'-zo
From G2295; to wonder; by implication to admire: - admire, have in admiration, marvel, wonder.
Notice it says 'admire' or 'have in admiration'. That would be the same as worship.
Now, I'm going to skip a little bit, but this should be a more detailed study. You can get the overall point though from what I'm writing here.
If you study this in detail you can put it all together, but notice in the next verse below who the locust army can hurt.
Rev 9:4 And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads.
It says that they can only hurt 'those that have NOT the Seal Of GOD in their foreheads'.
Who has the Seal Of GOD in their foreheads?
Well, it is those that are predestined, but more study would be required to tie all of it together. For now, I'm just going to show how to tell the main point.
What is the Seal Of GOD?
Rev 5:1 And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals.
Rev 5:2 And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof?
Rev 5:3 And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon.
Rev 5:4 And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon.
Rev 5:5 And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.
The Seal Of GOD is the Seven Seals.
And what is the most important thing that the Seven Seals tell us?
They tell us that satan comes first at the 6th trump and that CHRIST returns at the 7th Trump.
So, if we know that 'anti' in the Greek means 'instead of', then we will also know that when satan gets here as anti CHRIST, that it actually means that satan is coming first, 'instead of' CHRIST. If satan is coming 'instead of' CHRIST, that means he is pretending to be CHRIST.
Now, since we have those Seals in our foreheads (brain). We will know that the first supernatural being that comes claiming to be CHRIST is actually satan, therefore we will not worship him. But everyone else that dwells on the earth will worship him.
Since we will not worship satan, then that means we have the Seal Of GOD in our foreheads and those are the ones written in the book of life from the FOUNDATION of the world. Those that are written in the book of life from the foundation of the world are GOD'S 7000 that HE has reserved to HIMSELF and have never bowed to satan.
They are GOD'S Very Elect.
Conclusion:
If you know that satan comes first and pretends to be CHRIST and you know that you would not worship satan, then that means you are one of GOD'S Very Elect.
In Ephesians 1:4, as well as other places, it shows that GOD'S Elect are predestined.
But what is their destiny?
It's right here:
Mar 13:9 But take heed to yourselves: for they shall deliver you up to councils; and in the synagogues ye shall be beaten: and ye shall be brought before rulers and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them.
Mar 13:10 And the gospel must first be published among all nations.
Mar 13:11 But when they shall lead you, and deliver you up, take no thought beforehand what ye shall speak, neither do ye premeditate: but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour, that speak ye: for it is not ye that speak, but the Holy Ghost.
Our destiny is to be delivered up for a testimony where The HOLY SPIRIT Speaks through us!
All who hear it will hear it in their own language, just as it is described in Acts.
Even the gainsayers will be convinced.
This delivering up of GOD'S Very Elect where people hear the Truth is a big part of what brings down The One World System.
Why? Because when people hear the very elect speak, they will realize that they are worshiping satan and drop out of the One World System.
A proper study would show it much more clearly.
