We are not our own.
Every last one of us are marked by who or what control's (own's) us.
Either we have handed over control to God or the devil and his world government owns us.
You already have their number assigned to you. The question is ;
Will they hate and reject you because of God's mark on you.
How is it that so many so called Christians have adapted so well with this world and their life goes on normally in it's growing evil state ?
A true test is this scripture from Ezekiel.
God never changes
And the LORD said unto him, Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry for all the abominations that be done in the midst thereof.
And to the others he said in mine hearing, Go ye after him through the city, and smite: let not your eye spare, neither have ye pity:
Slay utterly old and young, both maids, and little children, and women: but come not near any man upon whom is the mark; and begin at my sanctuary. Then they began at the ancient men which were before the house.
And he said unto them, Defile the house, and fill the courts with the slain: go ye forth. And they went forth, and slew in the city.
And it came to pass, while they were slaying them, and I was left, that I fell upon my face, and cried, and said, Ah Lord GOD! wilt thou destroy all the residue of Israel in thy pouring out of thy fury upon Jerusalem?
Then said he unto me, The iniquity of the house of Israel and Judah is exceeding great, and the land is full of blood, and the city full of perverseness: for they say, The LORD hath forsaken the earth, and the LORD seeth not.
And as for me also, mine eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity, but I will recompense their way upon their head.
Ezekiel 9:4-5

I've questioned many times if the actual "church taught Mark" would be part of the deception during the great falling away of the apostate which now appears full-speed ahead. God's way are STILL not our ways...His ways are far beyond our reach. When the Lord "marks" He does it for His reasons alone. Example, if we study Cain & Abel -- Gen 4...It is written that the Lord did not have respect for Cain's offering of the fruit of the ground but regarded Abel's FIRST-lings (first love for Christ in NT) of his flock. "And the Lord set a mark upon Cain, lest any finding him should kill him." How many Christians are like Cain who because they attend church, "have (forgive me for using this word...'ACCEPTED' Jesus into their heart at one time (yet continually frustrate the grace of God) will, perhaps like Cain in the end may find what the true reality of God's mark consists of? My heart-of-hearts tells me that it's not a well-known, obvious, man-made bio-chip that will seperate the sheep from the goats. Could this man-made device be a deception too? Almost a mockery to think that the Lord would work according to our fleshly ways of thinking. Only something to pray and think about! Thank you...
ReplyDeleteEventually we will know what it is.
ReplyDeleteThe surprise will be for those who assumed they would be raptured out beforehand.
I think many will rationalize that the mark cannot be the mark because they are still here and God would not subject them to such a hard test.
Most people are not ready.
I've been working to come out from among them as much as I can.
Just down to a few basics now,no cell phone,no credit card.
How many Christian's are getting prepared,UNPLUGGED ?
Not long ago at five doves there was a Christian minister who was saying 'it's ok to receive the mark ,God will forgive you'.
More like him and the serpent will come out of the woodwork and say did God really say that ?
He didn't really mean what He said.
