Scripture:
Revelation 13:1-4 (ESV)
Revelation 13:1-4 (ESV)
And I saw a beast rising out of the sea, with ten horns and
seven heads, with ten diadems on its horns and blasphemous names on its heads.
And the beast that I saw was like a leopard; its feet were like a bear's, and
its mouth was like a lion's mouth. And to it the dragon gave his power and his
throne and great authority. One of its heads seemed to have a mortal wound, but
its mortal wound was healed, and the whole earth marveled as they followed the
beast. And they worshiped the dragon, for he had given his authority to the
beast, and they worshiped the beast, saying, “Who is like the beast, and who
can fight against it?”
Devotional:
This is Satan’s domain.
For now, he has control over the earth.
When the end comes the antichrist will rise. People will be fooled and will follow
him. Today Satan has done a marvelous job
in fooling people. We have the illusion
that God doesn’t exist, or that there are many ways into heaven. The antichrist will come and for whatever
reason people will refuse to see the truth.
We like to bury our heads in the sand and pretend everything is
good.
Here is a wake up call for us all. The truth is God is real. Heaven and hell are real. When this life is over we will go to one or
the other. Oh, and Jesus is the only way
to heaven. How many people do you know
who are falling for Satan’s lies? How
many people are lulled into the belief that God is not real or that good works
is enough. Satan’s reign here on earth
is limited. The antichrist’s power is insignificant
compared to Christ’s. Jesus already
won. Satan just doesn’t want you to know
it.
Each of us needs to do our own part to show the world the
truth. God is real, and so is life after
death. We have a choice to make. We have to make that choice while we still
live. If we wait until after death it
will be too late. I hope and pray you
choose wisely. Finally, we all need to
work together to show others the truth so that they may choose wisely as well.
