WASHINGTON, Penn., April 13, 2021 /Christian Newswire/ -- The following is submitted by Dan Corner of Evangelical Outreach:
A third angel followed them and said in a loud voice: "If anyone worships the beast and his image and receives his mark on the forehead or on the hand, he, too, will drink of the wine of God's fury, which has been poured full strength into the cup of his wrath. He will be TORMENTED WITH BURNING SULFUR IN THE PRESENCE OF THE HOLY ANGELS AND OF THE LAMB. AND THE SMOKE OF THEIR TORMENT RISES FOR EVER AND EVER. THERE IS NO REST DAY OR NIGHT for those who worship the beast and his image, or for anyone who receives the mark of his name." This calls for PATIENT ENDURANCE on the part of THE SAINTS who OBEY GOD'S COMMANDMENTS AND REMAIN FAITHFUL TO JESUS. (Rev 14:9-12)
Observations Disproving Four Major False Teachings:
- The "saints" will still be here when the mark of the beast arrives, DISPROVING the Pre Trib Rapture myth. In fact, the mark of the beast is not far off from April 2021. Scripture teaches a POST Trib Rapture (Mk. 13:24-27) and we WILL face the antichrist (2 Thess. 1-3).
- This lake of fire warning to not take the mark of the beast was given even to the "SAINTS." That reality DISPROVES Eternal Security (also known as "Once Saved Always Saved"). NOTE: "saints" are not false converts, but real Christians. It was the true followers of Jesus who were given that lake of fire warning over THAT ONE SIN, which can NEVER BE FORGIVEN. Warnings to the saints of them possibly going to the lake of fire are critical, but are all withheld in many congregations due to the heresy of Eternal Security, which claims that is impossible for a truly saved person to ever lose his salvation.
- This passage, like scores of others, also DISPROVES Universal Salvation, that is, the notion that everyone is going to be saved because Jesus died for everyone. The truth is: the majority of the people will go to the lake of fire in the end (Mt. 7:13,14) and one must be righteously different in order to enter Paradise (Mt. 5:8; Heb. 12:14; Rev. 21:27).
- Rev. 14:9-12 also DISPROVES Annihilation of the Wicked Dead because ALL the people who do receive the mark of the beast will go to the lake of fire to be "TORMENTED WITH BURNING SULFUR" for ever and ever. See also Rev. 20:10; 21:8.
The word "angel" means MESSENGER and could refer to Christians worldwide, who are warning people not to receive the mark of the beast needed to "buy or sell" (Rev. 14:9-12).
Also, the Greek word translated "worship," as some will give to the beast and his image, is PROSKUNEO. That Greek word means: kiss like a dog licking his master's hand; to fawn or crouch to; prostrate oneself in homage (do reverence to, adore).
The "WORSHIP" connected with the Mark of the Beast can be very SUBTLE as shown by the meaning of the actual word itself. It does NOT necessarily mean swearing to follow a false god or making a public declaration or pledge of allegiance, as the deceitful movies might have shown. To take the microneedle "smart patch" vaccine, which places a mark on the body at the same time, that is needed to "buy or sell," is to take the Mark of the Beast.
