If I be snared by the enemy
Let me be snared doing what is right in God’s sight

in the face of evil
How can you look at yourself in the mirror, or your wife and kids in the eyes and do nothing in the face of evil?
like a flood
brother against brother
And the brother shall deliver up the brother to death, and the father the child: and the children shall rise up against their parents, and cause them to be put to death
Matthew 10:21
Will the private statements we make on the phone, facebook, email, texts, etc be used against us to pit our own family and friends against us?
Nations get the leaders they deserve
The choice is between Jeraboam or Rehaboam, which boam (bum) do you want?
how can they hear without a preacher?
Some pastors are afraid if they preach about the return of Messiah that they may loose some of their flocks…
If they had been preaching the entirety of scripture in the first place, then their flocks would have been made up of people anticipating Messiah’s return…
If you don’t protect the sheep from the wolves, you are going to loose them anyway…
warn or indoctrinate?
Does distopian fiction such as George Orwell’s 1984 and Animal Farm and Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World and Suzane Collins Hunger Games serve to warn us about a totalitarian future, or does it romanticize it, implant concepts of inevitability in our minds, and serve as a roadmap to those who believe we would actually be better off in such a society?
knowledge of wickedness
Many will be in a frenzy as the knowledge of wickedness increases
Now as for you, Daniel, roll up your scroll and seal your words until the time of the end. Many will rush around, while knowledge increases. Daniel 12:4
sealed
Those who will worship the Beast and/or the Image of the Beast will be sealed unto him by being “marked” with his symbol, name, and/or number.
Rev 13:15-18
And he [false prophet] 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.
[the mark or seal is an equalizer] And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to recieve a mark in their right hand or in their foreheads
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.
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.
Rev 14:9-11
And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand,
The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:
And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.
Rev 15:2
And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name, stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God.
Rev 16:2
And the first went, and poured out his vial upon the earth; and there fell a noisome and grievous sore upon the men which had the mark of the beast, and upon them which worshipped his image.
Rev 20:4
And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
