The World Will Soon Change | The Mark Of The Beast Is Coming

if you were to google the phrase new world order you would be met with different search results and a lot of them saying or suggesting that the new world order is a conspiracy theory now if you clicked on the wikipedia page and read the first line of their page about this it would say the new world order nwo is a conspiracy theory which hypothesizes a secretly emerging totalitarian world government the common theme in conspiracy theories about a new world order is that a secretive power elite with a globalist agenda is conspiring to eventually rule the world through an authoritarian one world government now it's not my position or agenda to discuss what is or isn't a conspiracy theory but rather i want to discuss what the bible says about where the state of the world is going what i want to share with you through scripture is not any conspiracy theory but rather biblical prophecy that should serve as both a warning and a guide to all of us as we navigate our lives now there is one school of thought among biblical scholars and academics that think that the world is heading into a direction where there will be a global leader who will introduce a one-world currency health organization and even military system all the ingredients to suggest a unified world government the bible does not use the terms one world currency or one world government however let's take a look at what the bible does say revelation 13 verse 15 to 18 the second beast was given power to give breath to the image of the first beast so that the image could speak and cause all who refused to worship the image to be killed it also forced all people great and small rich and poor free and slave to receive a mark on their right hands or on their foreheads so that they could not buy or sell unless they had the mark which is the name of the beast or the number of its name this calls for wisdom let the person who has insight calculate the number of the beast for it is the number of a man that number is 666 verse 15 tells us that all who refuse to worship the image of the beast will be killed let's think about some hypothetical scenarios to answer the question how will it be known that someone has refused to worship the image of the beast now this isn't in the bible but this is how i imagined the antichrist will opt to govern i believe that he will have people in communities in villages towns and cities and these people will monitor and report anyone who refuses to conform to the leadership of the antichrist the bible simply says the beast will cause all who refuse to worship the image to be killed now it could be known that someone refuses to worship because the antichrist will require some type of public demonstration or allegiance to him and refusal to do this will be the death penalty and you have to remember that at this point in time the devil thinks he has taken center stage he wants the attention he wants the praise he wants to be worshiped so anyone who dares to refuse will be punished severely now to enforce something like this this would probably mean that there is a law of some type of physical perhaps military level enforcement whatever the case may be the bible tells us that there will be a heavy price to pay for those that refuse to worship the beast [Music] furthermore the antichrist will force all people to receive a mark on their right hands or foreheads if they want to buy or sell think about what we're being told here whatever the mark is whether it's a small electronic chip or something else it has now replaced physical money and we are now in the realm of a one world monetary system a fully fledged cashless society now a lot of people underestimate how severe this regime is if you are left behind and if you take the mark of the beast you will have literally pledged your allegiance to the devil and people may think well i will refuse and just find somewhere to hide for the rest of my days but this won't be possible because you will literally be unable to pay your bills fill up the gas in your car or anything that requires a transaction you won't be able to do any of that without the mark of the beast and if you refuse it then you will have to pay with your life so what should we do with this knowledge biblical prophecy is for our benefit now how can we prepare for the end of days well i believe that we need to know two things the first is that there is only one savior and his name is jesus christ only he can save you from the difficult times to come only he can save you from the power of the enemy now the second thing we need to know is that although the antichrist is yet to be revealed the devil is already at work he's at work trying to lead us away from god but if we are to succeed against the devil we have to know the word of god we have to abide under the shadow of the almighty if we're to overcome him we are to pray without ceasing if we are to succeed in our lives as believers we must resist the devil and his temptations the book of james puts it this way resist the devil and he will flee from you if we are to abide under the shadow of the almighty god then the devil has no place in our lives and he is defeated the enemy has no power no hold over us as blood washed children of god in christ we are dead to the desires of our flesh and we are made alive in the spirit jesus tells us not to fear the world because he has overcome the world we have nothing to fear from any evil enemy as long as we have god his spirit and his word we are more than conquerors so live in victory and never in fear live in the freedom of god and never in bondage [Music] how bad will the antichrist be have you ever thought about that just how evil is this biblical figure that we're warned about throughout the bible to begin with we have to focus on revelation chapter 13. now i want to read a few verses and then we can dive into the meaning of these from the niv revelation 13 verse 1 begins by saying the dragon stood on the shore of the sea and i saw a beast coming out of the sea it had ten horns and seven heads with ten crowns on its horns and on each head a blasphemous name the dragon is the devil it's satan himself and we know this because in revelation 20 verse 2 the bible clearly says he seized the dragon that ancient serpent who is the devil or satan and bound him for a thousand years so back to revelation 13 the dragon stood on the shore of the sea and then a beast came out of the sea this beast is widely believed by many biblical scholars to be the antichrist and here's why as i read chapter 13 i want you to listen to the power and ability given to this beast i won't focus so much on the symbolism described in the chapter but i want us to focus on what the bible says this beast will do in the world verse 4 to 8 reads people worship the dragon because he had given authority to the beast and they also worshipped the beast and asked who is like the beast who can wage war against it the beast was given a mouth
