Summary: Who is the Beast and what to look for.
Feading the Beast,If any man have an ear, let him hear. Rev 13:1-9 Is the world, feeding the beast, makeing him stronger? What or who is the beast, is he here or is he to come? Are we giveing the right answers to the wrong questions? Lets look at revelations 13: 1-9, And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea... The book of revelations refer to the beast as an enemy of God and anything that is rightious. The Jews today are worried that their government is feeding the beast, by giveing concessions to Syria, returning land that they took from their enemys by war.Egypt, Syria,ect ,are all takeing bites out of Isreal. But a little closer home, are we feeding the beast. Lust, greed, falst doctrine, false preaching, teaching, decieveing one another, while the beast gets stronger from our inconsistancies? Chewing up our churches and christians from within, getting stronger from the flesh and blood of the elect of God. You say, it cant happen here, not in America, we chose our own destiny. Yes, its happening here. Look around at the schools, no prayer, one woman, had the power to remove prayer from our schools,where was thye church while this was going on, the ten commandments are not allowed to be posted in our court houses, homosexuals are allowed to meet in our schools but if you protest, then you are the evil one, not allowing free speach. Christians are the 2nd most hated people in the world, the Jews are the 1st. Look at Revelations 13:9-10, this is very important, look at what Jesus said in Verse 9, If any man have an ear, let him hear. Why was this put here? Jesus was trying to tell us to pay attention. Verse 10, He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity.....Here is the patience and the faith of the saints. We hafe to help one another, guide one another, support one another, we need each other, we are a family, not just in the church building, but outside. remember the Lords prayer, yea thou I walk throu the valley of the shaddow of death, I will fear no evil...? Do you actually know what the valley of the shaddow of death is, its when you walk out of you house, when you leave the church building, when you take your dog for a walk, its the world outside your own frount door.Thats where the valley is and thats the valley where the beast is waiting, and hungry.Rape, murder, prostitution, pornography, homosexuality, alcoholism, drug addication, lies, its all there in the valley and the beast is waiting for you and your children and frends. The world knows the beast and its feeding him ,makeing him stronger, the Jews are trying to fight him but to no avail.Im not a theologian, many might say, that the beast in Revelations has to rise out of the sea, their right, the sea in these verses is a metiphore, look at it this way, the beast is in hideing, untill he gains strength, right now hes growing up and feeding on any thing that he can get his hands on. Some are waiting on the antichrist to arrive, but church, hes allready here, the Bible tells us so, its the spirit of the antichrist and the spirit of the beast that we should have allready started to fight.You say, thats for the ones that arnt raptured, but church, think about the ones that arnt saved, maby your own children, your kneighbours and frends. we dont know when Christ is comming after us, think about the others.Take a quick look at verses 7 and 8 and think on these things.Hear what the spirit sayeth unto the Church, hear, hear and understand, time is short, we cant afford the luxuary of makeing mistakes with our or someones elses soul. The beast is hungry. remember at the begining I asked a few questions, are we, giveing the right answers to the wrong questions, are we confuseing people with doctrine thats not scripture? Think, are we feeding the Beast? ars.
