The fact is, he is the very opposite. He is much more shrewd
and cunning in his persuasions than he was when he deceived Eve
and led her to partake of the fruit that God forbade her not to eat
lest she die. She did it simply because Satan, through the medium
of a serpent, convinced her saying, "ye shall not surely
die" (Gen. 3:4). That's the persuasive power of this wily foe.
The worst assumption that anybody can ever make is to believe
that Satan is some ignorant and stupid person!
Today Satan has modernized and updated his deceptions to
adapt to the new order of things. And he is refining his strategies
and adjusting his game plan in preparation for his final
onslaught on the inhabitants of planet earth in the not-too-distant
future.
Just about every end time prophecy student would agree with
methat the mark of the beast will be the central issue in last
days that everyman, woman and child living on the earth today should be
concerned about. Unfortunately, there are a lot of misconception surrounding
this end-time issue that is potentially detrimental to one’s eternal salvation.
Have you ever thought what you would do to effectively
deceive the people in the last days and lead them to take the mark of the
beast if you were the Devil? While you give some thought about that
I amgoing to tell you what I would do.
First to begin with, I would have to keep my last-day plan a
top secret. Therefore, I would employ different methods to make
the Bible less significant in the eyes of the people. I would
popularize as much as possible the idea that most of the
things that are in the Bible are just fables concocted by the
different writers to create a 'feel good' effect in their congregations.
Furthermore, I would take control of the universities and
introduce a humanist philosophy and make it a compulsory discipline so
as to increase the likelihood that anybody who becomes a university student will eventually reject the Bible.
I would take control of the media and propagate the idea that
the evolution theory is more credible and consistent with the
truth about human origin than the Genesis account of creation. I would
also point to some contradictions to justify why people must not believe
anything it says. I would even get former Christians to provide
testimonials in favour of evolution in order to further destroy the
credibility ofthe Bible.
And for those who profess to believe the Bible I would make
them devote more of their time to secular studies and very little
time for the word. In other words, I would destroy the Bible
without
burning it. I would
have to do that in order to ensure that my end-time strategy is not detected.
Secondly, I would crank up my propaganda machinery and spread myriads of falsehoods about end time prophecy, and sell all kind of fanciful theories about what I will do to
"force" people to
take mark of the beast.
I would make people believe the wrong things about events surrounding the issue of the mark of the beast and lead them
into a false sense of security so that when this event breaks upon
the
world they are not prepared for it. I would even give the impression that I am an ignorant, asinine fool who is too
mired in evil and dog-heartedness to think out a well coordinated and
effective deception plan.
And finally, I would use the media as my main propaganda tool
both for the purpose of propagating my philosophy and to discredit those
who are preaching the truth about the mark of the beast. In this way
I will cause the public to believe that those who are upholding the truths of
the Bible are a set of deceivers and antichrists. Where possible I would cause some of them to be persecuted
and/or unjustly thrown into jail.
You may have other strategies in mind but one thing is
certain, SATAN DOES NOT INTEND FOR THE WORLD TO KNOW ABOUT HIS
END-TIME GAME PLAN.
Contrary to the false and misleading theories out there,
Satan will not put a knife at your throat or a gun to your head and
force you to take the mark of the beast. Believe it or not, this
argument that the mark of the beast will be "enforced" and
how we must 'say no to that mark' could be one of the most subtle deceptions
of all time!
I can see the puzzled look on your face as you read this. You disagree with me completely. Stay with me a little longer. It
has been correctly taught by almost every Bible commentator I
heard on
the subject that the mark of the beast is Satan's counterfeit
to God's seal; that the seal of God and the mark of the beast
operate on the same principle. Isn't that right?
If that's the case, then what is being suggested is that
these two elements are counterparts to each other! But while we make
this observation we are not consistent in the way we apply it.
If you have a Bible nearby take it and read Revelation 3:12.
It clearly teaches that the name of the Father will be written
on His faithful people who are overcomers. From a comparison with
Revelation 7:4 and 14:1 you will see that the name of the
Father and the seal of God are one and the same.
Thus the name of the Father is written in the foreheads of
Gods people as a reward for their faithfulness. In other words, something would have to be done or accomplished in the lives
of the saints of God before they can receive His seal. If this
principle is also true of the mark of the beast, then why do we teach
that it will be enforced? Get the point?
Furthermore, in Revelation 13 we are clearly taught how the
people will receive the mark of the beast. In the 13th and 14th
verses we are told that, far from being forced, the inhabitants of the earth
will actually be deceived by the lamb-horned beast that came up out of the earth
into taking the mark of the beast and worship his image. Therefore, the
pledging of allegiance to the beast will be the action of a deceived people
destitute of the truth.
Contrary to popular opinion, the mark of the beast will be
issued by means of an apparently harmless but the cunningly evil
scheme administered by one of the most trusted organization in the
world.
Its for this reason why the vast majority are going to fall
for the idea of taking a mark of their foreheads and right hand. Your only
hope of escaping Satan’s evil scheme in the last days is to arm
yourself with the knowledge of the sure word of prophecy.
