DON’T EVER CHOOSE ANYTHING SHORT OF GOD’S PERFECT PLAN // Revelation 13:11-17

REVELATION IS NOT A SCARY BOOK…IF YOU ARE A BELIEVER…CHRIST REVEALS TO US WHO HE IS…IN ALL OF HIS GLORY…HE REVEALS TO US HOW IT ALL ENDS…AND WE WIN! IT WAS GIVEN TO THE CHURCH TO BE AN ENCOURAGEMENT GOD’S NUMBER IS 7, AND HE IS PERFECT… SINCE MAN FALLS SHORT OF PERFECTION, HIS NUMBER IS SIX… DON’T EVER CHOOSE ANYTHING SHORT OF GOD’S PERFECT PLAN…WHATEVER THE EARTHLY COST MAY BE! SATAN’S MOUTHPIECE IS ALWAYS DECEPTIVE Revelation 13:11-14 ESV Then I saw another beast rising out of the earth. It had two horns like a lamb and it spoke like a dragon. [12] It exercises all the authority of the first beast in its presence, and makes the earth and its inhabitants worship the first beast, whose mortal wound was healed. [13] It performs great signs, even making fire come down from heaven to earth in front of people, [14] and by the signs that it is allowed to work in the presence of the beast it deceives those who dwell on earth, telling them to make an image for the beast that was wounded by the sword and yet lived. SATAN’S MOUTHPIECE ALWAYS LEADS THOSE WHO FOLLOW INTO DESTRUCTION Revelation 13:15-17 ESV And it was allowed to give breath to the image of the beast, so that the image of the beast might even speak and might cause those who would not worship the image of the beast to be slain. [16] Also it causes all, both small and great, both rich and poor, both free and slave, to be marked on the right hand or the forehead, [17] so that no one can buy or sell unless he has the mark, that is, the name of the beast or the number of its name. WISDOM IS SEEING LIFE FROM GOD’S PERSPECTIVE AND WAITING PATIENTLY FOR HIS PERFECT PLAN TO UNFOLD…WHATEVER THE EARTHLY COST MAY BE! Revelation 13:18 ESV This calls for wisdom: let the one who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man, and his number is 666. GOD’S NUMBER IS 7, AND HE IS PERFECT… SINCE MAN FALLS SHORT OF PERFECTION, HIS NUMBER IS SIX… DON’T EVER CHOOSE ANYTHING SHORT OF GOD’S PERFECT PLAN…WHATEVER THE EARTHLY COST MAY BE!
