Pamphlet #1094
"Will You worship the Dragon?"
In
Revelations Chapter 13 we read concerning the dragon, Satan,
that
"all
that dwell upon the earth shall worship him,
whose
names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb
slain
from the foundation of the world (Rev. 13:8)."
Then
we were told in the very next verse
that
"If
any man have an ear, let him hear (Rev. 13:9)".
So
the obvious question must be asked?
Do
you have ears to hear?
This
is an important question
because
the very nature of the question itself
lets
us know by implication
that
there are those who don't have them, right?
Therefore,
there are two types of people
who
will read the rest of the 13th chapter of Revelation.
Those who have "ears to hear" and those who do not.
Those
who do not cannot "see" or "hear" past the flesh level
and
cannot understand
that
the tribulation of the false-christ
is
a battle for their soul, not their flesh.
When
they read "kill with the sword"
they
think about their flesh,
despite
the fact that we are told in Rev. 1:16
that
the "sword" is the Word of God.
When
they read of "famine"
they
think about their bellies,
despite
the fact that Amos 8:11 tells us
that
the famine of the end times is for the hearing
of the Word of God.
In
fact they love to hear preachers tell them
how
they are going to "fly away" in the clouds to save what?
Their souls?
NO!
They say you must be saved to be "raptured".
What then?
To save their flesh!
Does
the Rapture Theory have anything to do
with
other than saving their little old flesh hides?
Think about it!
Did Paul tell us in Eph. 6 to put on the gospel armour to fly away or to take a stand?
Even
our Christian soldiers when they go off to war
ask
God to protect them on the front lines.
They
don't ask Him to fly them away
so
they can watch the battle from a remote place of safety.
Is the Bible a book about saving your flesh or your soul?
Should
we be worried beyond that which
is
the instinct of natural preservation about our bodies,
which
are going to wither and die ANYWAY!
Here's what Jesus Christ has to say concerning the matter:
