BIBLE READING: Revelation 13:11-18

11 And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.

12 And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.

13 And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,

14 And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.

15 And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.

16 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:

17 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.

18 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.

MESSAGE:

You might have heard or read about the mark of the beast before now, but do you really know what it is? The mark of the beast can take different forms: it can be a mark, a name, or the number of a name (Revelation 13:17). Whichever one it is, it is a representation of the beast, and whoever receives it on his or her forehead or right hand will be identified as a worshipper of the beast. Only such people will be allowed to buy, sell, or be a part of society after the rapture has taken place. Anyone who refuses to receive the mark of the beast will be hunted and killed.

In the days of Apostle John, there was no technology, so he could only describe everything that he saw in his vision with the things he had seen around him. A mark that is taken on someone’s forehead or right hand must have been imprinted by a machine, and the imprint must be something that cannot be cleaned or washed off. Since this mark is so important to people’s identity and life, it will not be a mark that can fade or be erased. This means that it will be deep in the skin.

My dear child, I want to urge you today to surrender your life to Jesus Christ if you are yet to do so. Please do not let His sacrifice on the cross of Calvary go to waste over your life. If you have surrendered your life to Him, obey His commandments and flee from sin.

ACTION POINT:
Surrender your life totally to Jesus and abstain from all forms of sin.

HYMN: 55 – Christian, Seek Not Yet Repose

1 Christian, Seek Not Yet Repose;
Hear Thy Guardian Angel Say,
“Thou Art In The Midst Of Foes:
Watch And Pray!”

2 Principalities And Powers,
Mustering Their Unseen Array,
Wait For Thy Unguarded Hours:
“Watch And Pray.”

3 Gird Thy Heavenly Armour On;
Wear It Every Night And Day
Ambush’d Lies The Evil One:
“Watch And Pray.”

4 Hear The Victors Who O’ercame;
Still They Mark Each Warrior’s Way;
All With One Sweet Voice Exclaim,
“Watch And Pray!”

5 Hear, Above AlI, Hear Thy Lord,
Him Thou Lovest To Obey;
Hide Within Thy Heart His Word:
“Watch And Pra!.”

6 Watch, As If On That Alone
Hung The Issue Of The Day;
Pray, That Help May Be Sent Down:
Watch And Pray.
