I Wish We'd All Been Ready!

14....he deceived the inhabitants of the earth. He ordered them to set up an image in honor of the beast who was wounded by the sword and yet lived. 15He was given power to give breath to the image of the first beast, so that it could speak and cause all who refused to worship the image to be killed. 16He also forced everyone, small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on his right hand or on his forehead,

17so that no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of his name.

18This calls for wisdom. If anyone has insight, let him calculate the number of the beast, for it is man's number. His number is 666.  (Revelation 13: 14-18)


I was raised Baptist, and if there is one thing that the Baptists teach, it's about the Rapture and the Second Coming (two seperate events)!  I know about the Rapture! and about the tribulation period!

Back in the 60s, when I first started learning about the the tribulation period, the technology wasn't there to "pull it off".  Heck!  Personal computers didn't even exist until 1974/5!!!  MS DOS wasn't available until 1981!  I think it was 1985 or 86 when I got my first PC. (before there were hard drives!!!  You had to store everything on those FLOPPY floppy disks! 

Oh my, how in the world how changed...  It would have been impossible to find anyone that didn't have the mark of the beast back then!  ...true, they would be noticed if they tried to buy or sell something, but how could they be tracked down???? 

(Just so you know... if you have a grocery card...like a Kroger Card, you are already being "watched"... They are tracking all your food purchases now!   A few months ago they let me know that some of the food I had purchased a few months before that, was being recalled!  It printed out on my receipt as I was checking out!)  

Yes, today is another story all together!  Can you believe that personal GPS systems are less than 10 years old!?!   They are in every new car and every cell phone in the world!  Soon, not only will they be in our dogs, but, it will only make good sense to embed them under our skin!  Because, after all, if a child is lost, think how easy it would be to find them with a GPS chip!!!  Tracking will NOT be a problem!

Combine that with the cameras that are EVERYWHERE now and you can be found!  I was just telling some friends Saturday that I had not realized that there are now cameras on EVERY pole on the interstate around Atlanta!  They use to be just at major intersections...not so anymore, they are literally 3 or 4 in every mile!! 

Then, last night they had the following on the news. 


Sure, it all makes perfect sense, and seems like such a great idea ....  but one day very soon, the people not taking the mark will be the ones being tracked down.


PEOPLE GET READY!  JESUS IS COMING!!!

Ten Commandments

  • 1. You shall have no other gods before me.
  • 2. You shall not make for yourself any carved image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; you shall not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate me, but showing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments.
  • 3. You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord will not hold him guiltless who takes His name in vain.
  • 4. Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord your God. In it you shall do no work: you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your manservant, nor your maidservant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates. For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it.
  • 5. Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long upon the land which the Lord your God is giving you.
  • 6. You shall not murder.
  • 7. You shall not commit adultery.
  • 8. You shall not steal.
  • 9. You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.
  • 10. You shall not covet your neighbor’s house; you shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbor’s.”
