Revelation 13:16 &
17 King James Bible
"And he causeth all, both small and great,
rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark
IN their right hand, or IN their foreheads:
And that no man might buy or sell, save he
that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or
the number of his name."
Did you catch the word "IN" in the above
verse?! That is today's modern technology
of being able to plant a chip under the skin!
The hour is now very late in these End Times,
and for the very first time in all of human
history people are being "chipped" in their hands.
The naive public is going to be conditioned
to this to get them used to the idea.
Obviously right now this is totally optional, but
shortly after the soon upcoming Rapture happens
this "chipping" will become mandatory, and no one
will be able to buy or sell without the "mark"!
There are many very sleepy pastors out
there who need to wake up, pastors who even reject
the very idea that we are living late in the End
Times! They have their heads in the sand,
and prefer to please people rather than please
God. They want to ignore and reject those
parts of the Bible that they do not like.
After all, people must leave church happy and
people should not be told of bad tidings that are
soon to come to pass! And lots of happy
people are needed in the church to keep that
building fund going! Scripture tells us in
Matt. 24:37-39 that the days of the coming of the
Son of Man (NOW) are JUST LIKE the days of Noah.
Noah had the true message of God, but he
was totally rejected except by 7 of his family
members. The same thing is happening today!
If the pastors of today were living in
Noah's time they would have nothing but contempt
for Noah!

P.S. Matthew 24:39 states (New
American Standard Bible), "AND THEY DID NOT
UNDERSTAND UNTIL THE FLOOD CAME AND TOOK THEM
ALL AWAY; so shall the coming of the Son of Man
(Rapture) be."
P.P.S. Here are more reasons
scripturally why so many pastors today are so
sleepy about the truth of these End Times in
which we are living. First, in the
parable of the ten virgins (Matthew 25:1-12),
while the Bridegroom (Jesus) was delaying His
coming, not just the foolish got drowsy and
began to sleep, but also the PRUDENT got drowsy
and began to sleep! That is why so many
"believing" churches today totally reject end
time Bible prophecy! Now for another
reason. Isaiah 30:9 speaks of a
"rebellious people who refuse to listen to the
instruction of the Lord". Many, many
pastors today pick and choose what they will
accept from the Bible, and they likewise pick
and choose what they will reject from the Bible.
Of this "rebellious people", Isaiah goes
on in verse 30:10, "Who say to the seers, 'You
must not see visions'; and to the prophets, 'You
must not prophecy to us what is right, SPEAK TO
US PLEASANT WORDS, PROPHESY ILLUSIONS.' "
People in churches today want PLEASANT WORDS
from the pulpit so they can feel good as they
leave church and go to Sunday lunch. Have
any of you heard of the term "seeker sensitive
churches"? These are churches that tell
people what the people WANT to hear rather than
what the people SHOULD hear. 2 Timothy
4:3 states, "For the time will come when they
will not endure sound doctrine, but wanting to
have their ears tickled, they will accumulate
for themselves TEACHERS IN ACCORDANCE TO THEIR
OWN DESIRES......" Let's face it, for so
many lukewarm Christians to hear a message from
the pulpit that the Rapture is very near, and
then the most terrifying 7 years in all of human
history will follow, well, that is totally
unacceptable! Instead they just want to
be told good tidings from the pulpit, keep that
building fund well stocked with money, and they
want to build bigger and more beautiful church
buildings! The truth of God's Word is of
far lesser importance! Did not Jesus get
"run out of town", did not people "entreat Him
to leave their region", and was He not "hated
without a cause" as Scripture tells us?
The true teaching of the gospel is not going to
be popular from many, many church pulpits today!

Final word. The "parable of the
fig tree" is in both the New and Old
Testaments in the Bible. The "fig
tree" is Israel----- Hosea 9:10.
The generation that sees the fig tree
(Israel) put forth leaves will see all end
time events fulfilled, and that includes
the Rapture, the 7 year Tribulation
Period, and finally the Second Coming of
Israel's long rejected Messiah, Who is
Christ. In 1948 Israel returned as
a free, independent people for the first
time since 721 BC when Assyria came down
from the north and took the northern ten
tribes captive. Now, let's get a
handle on that from the perspective of
time. Do we not consider the
American Civil War to be a very long time
ago? Well, it was only a little
more than 150 years ago! Now,
Israel returned in 1948 after an absence
of 2669 years of not being a free,
independent people! Did you catch
that? 2669 years is a very, very,
very, very long time ago! Why do so
many people not comprehend the ennormity
of this? Very simple. For
most of the people alive today, during
their entire lives Israel has been present
over there in the Middle East. They
have known nothing different, and so they
take Israel's presence for granted.
Yet compared to the vast expanse of
history, we are living in a very tiny time
period that is THE most amazing and unique
time period in all of human history!
Yet so few recognize this, and it
often just boils down to spiritual
blindness and a rejection of what is
really in the Bible!
