Guess My Ear Listening can bring a mark |
 Guess
which animal uses these ears? |
Guess who's ear this is.
|
What do you think, who has this ear? |
 Did
you guess right? |
| Did you get this one right?Cricket |
 How about this one?
This vulture bird has no feathers over his ears. He needs it that way
for his head goes into stinky rotten meat for his meals and he would be
so hard to clean if God had made feathers on his head. God is so wise in
all His creations. |
 Do you recognize
this hairy ear? |
 Here
is the ear's owner. |
 God
says anyone who has an ear needs to listen. (Rev. 3:6) |
| What I am going to tell you is so very important. Pay close attention for it is a secret hidden in the Bible by symbols. I will make this very short and simple. If you want to know more about this secret, there are more texts to look up at the end of this lesson and in future lessons under the Bible study titled Revelation. This covers each chapter of that amazing book of stories about the end of time. |
The beast forced all the people to have a mark placed
on their right hand or on their foreheads. Revelation 13:16
SONG:
The Bible tells us of the Dragon, Satan and his helpers that will be so mean to anyone who keeps the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus. (Rev. 12:17) Hopefully you will not be one of Satan's helpers. Make up your mind today. God's way is so much better. There is peace and love instead of fighting, hate and fear. |
Just before Jesus comes, there will be a real mess in
this world. Already crime is so awful, you hate to watch the news.
Angels keep record of it all. At God's appointed time, He will take away
the protection He has been giving. Right now God the Holy Spirit
is leaving little by little because He is rejected and many people do
not listen anymore. If you have ears, listen to what Jesus says. Rev.
3:6
Angels are keeping the worst troubles away till you have had a chance to make up your mind to be on God's side or Satan's side. When you make the choice to always copy Jesus no matter what happens, you are "sealed". There is nothing that will change your mind. You are determined to always love and obey Jesus. This means you will keep the 10 commandments and all else Jesus asks. |
 Here
is an interesting goat with 4 horns. The dragon in prophecy had 10 and
one grew up out of them and pushed out 3 other horns. The growing horn
talked.
The talking horn. The horn of Daniel 7 teaches that on the head of the dragon will be some horn powers that are strange. One in the middle grows up and throws out 3 other horns.
|
|
Then this horn says horrible things against God. He even plans to take
away God's day of rest and change the time and the law to be his way.
This is talking about a power that will be trying to change the day
every one should go to church on. These animals are symbols to help you
think and think. |
 In
lesson 7 we looked at this dragon and also at the buffalo or bison. The
buffalo represents a country that makes everyone do what the talking
horn wants. 
He wants to force everyone to worship on Sunday instead of the 7th day
God requires in the Bible. God's people will study to see what God
wants. They will ask for help and obey all God requires. |
|
They may start this but God will not allow these nations to complete this until everyone has made up their minds whose team they will be on. (God's or Satan's) There are only two sides. Everyone will choose.
|
 In
Revelation 13:11 the Bison makes everyone have a mark on their foreheads
or hands. If they do not , they can not buy anything. That means they
cannot buy food or electricity or telephone service or anything.
Those who do what Satan wants about the day of rest even when they know which Day God wants us to worship on, will at that time get Satan's mark. It is not clear yet what the mark looks like. The Bible says the name of the beast adds up to the number 666. This is in the hand and forehead showing force against ones will. |
 Wow!
God gave us clues to figure out who is forcing the world to keep Sunday.
The big test comes to each person living on planet earth. Will they obey
God and keep His day of rest? The fourth commandment says God made the
heaven and the earth and He asks us to show our loyalty to Him by
keeping His 7th day holy. Which side will you join? God's or the beasts? |
 If
God asks you to keep the 7th day Holy, will He help you to have things
to eat?
When Satan makes it so no one can buy food, clothes, housing, electricity, telephone service and garbage service, what will happen to you if you obey GOD? Can God send Manna again for us like He did the Israelites in the wilderness? Exodus 16
|
 Did
God provide ravens to feed Elijah? He had bravely delivered the stern
message to king Ahab then the Lord told him to hide at the Brook
Cherith. God fed him and gave him water there. I Kings 17:3 God can feed
and give water to you if you obey. Why worry about not being able to buy
or sell?
"And there was none like unto Ahab, which did sell himself to work wickedness in the sight of the LORD, whom Jezebel his wife stirred up. I Kings 21:22
|
 Did
God keep the three Hebrew youth safe when they obeyed God instead of
bowing to the idol the king Nebuchadnezzar made? This king was a world
leader. How did they dare to disobey him and keep the commandment of God
to worship no God but Him? God kept them from burning up in the fiery
furnace. The soldiers that threw them in died instantly from the
heat. |
 Did
God set Peter free from prison the night before the religious leaders
planned to kill him? Acts 12 |
 Did
God take care of Daniel when he refused to pray to the king?
He prayed three times a day to God in heaven and was thrown into the lions den. Did God protect him there? Daniel 6 |
 Sometimes
God allows his people to die but many people decide to be Christians
because of their faithfulness. They were willing to even die for Jesus.
Think of Stephen who was killed by religious leaders. He gave his
testimony and Saul watched and listened. Later he became a missionary
and won thousands upon thousands for the kingdom of heaven. Acts 6
|
 God can make
water flow from the rocks for any of His thirsty people to drink. |
 "And
the Lord will create upon every dwelling place of mount Zion, and upon
her assemblies, a cloud and smoke by day, and the shining of flaming
fire by night; for upon all the glory shall be a defense." Is 4:5
God will be present in the pillar of cloud again as they had it in the wilderness. Those who did not believe Moses, thought it was an omen of death. But it was the Lord Himself. Remember how one side was dark for the Egyptians but the other side was a light in the camp for the Israelites preparing to cross the Red Sea? (Exodus 13:21) God promises to again do this for us in the last days. You do not need electricity to keep you warm in winter. God can do it. He can help you see. Trust Him for everything. |
Rainbow
Pillar
In Revelation 10:1 Jesus is shown again clothed
with a cloud. This time He had the rainbow about Him. One time I saw a pillar of cloud all lit up with a rainbow. It was really beautiful. The colors were vertical. |
| The special secret code of 666 is found in a name on
the crown cap that is placed on a religious leader. His title is on the
crown. It is written in Latin. It says: "Vicarius filii dei".
This religious leader will try to cause the whole world to keep Sunday holy. This is not God's plan and the Bible shows in Revelation he will not succeed. Revelation 13:14. The number of the man is 666. In Roman Numerals you can add up his title. V=5 I=1 C= 100 I=1 u=5 Vicarius=112 Filii=53 Dei D=500 e=0 i=1
The wining side to be on is God's. Obey His 10 commandments for that is your test of whose side you are on. |
