‘’And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon hi horns ten crowns, and upon his head the name of blasphemy’’ Revelation 13:12
Here is the beast that has the dreaded mark. The mark we definitely don’t want! The most awful warning of all times is directed against it (Revelation 14:19,10). But before we learn what the mark is, we must discover who the beast is and it won’t be hard. In fact, the bible makes it so clear that I’ll simply list the characteristic of it and you’ll be able to tell me who it is! Are you ready?

1. A ‘’BEAST’’ in prophecy represents a Kingdom, a nation, a power. The prophetic book of Daniels tell us – ‘’thus
he said, the fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon the earth’’ Daniel 7:23.
2. This beast comes up out of the ‘’sea’’ When a beast arises from the sea, it always represents a power rising
in a highly populated area; amid peoples, multitudes, and nation, and tongues’’ Revelation 17:15. It would
have to conquer the exiting government.
3. The beast ha seven heads and ten horns. A head represents the headquarters of a government. The head of
a county is called ‘’county seat’’. A ‘’horn’’ represents a king, a ruler. ‘’And ten horns out of this kingdom are
ten kings that shall arise’’. Daniel 7:24. The beast is a power with a man at the head of it. You’ll find that the
bible explains itself.
4. The beast has ‘’the name of blasphemy’’ Revelation 13:1.

It’s not surprising that in a hearing of the south Carolina legislature, demands by state representative Anderson himself for a Sunday law to improve the state of society brought uproarious applause. Who can wonder that the United states president has revealed his willingness to support legislation which would help collapse the separation of church and state! The bible tells us that….’’and he spake as a dragon. And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him’’ Revelation 13:11-12. Now the big question is who’s the first beast? Be prepared to learn some shocking facts.

Is it any wonder that United States will ‘’spake as a dragon’’? Little wonder that ministries across the land, in an effort to abort national doom, move millions to political action. The feeling is that something must be done. Leaders of ‘’electronic church’’ launched a campaign to arouse 50 million Christians! There’s a tremendous drive on to unite forces for the common goods.
Pat Robertson, the preacher who founded the 700 club, and, who himself aspired to the very top of the political ladder, said, ‘’Unless Christians desire a nation and a world reordered to the humanistic/hedonistic model, it is absolutely vital that we take control of the U.S government away from the trilateral commission and the council on Foreign Regulation’’. He speaks of turning to God ‘’to galvanise Christians to political actions’’
U.S News & World Report declared, ‘’A political holy war without precedent is full swing in this country. The feeling is being spread that only if our nation comes back to God can we improve our sorry state of affairs. Leaders are saying that this can be accomplished if Christians unite ‘’Robert Grant, leader of Christian voice urged: if Christians unite, we can do anything. We can pass any law or any amendment. And that’ s exactly what we intend to do’’. On nation wide TV, he declared ‘’we can elect a president, we can change or make any law in the land. And if behooves us to do it. If we have to live under law, as well we should, we should live under moral and Godly law’’. This was not the opinion of just one man.
In a letter written to the leader of the religion roundtable, it was asked to him if it is time for someone to influence legislation to make Sunday a day of worship in our country? ‘’in reply the executive director, H. Edward Rowe, wrote, ‘Legislation and proclamations by presidents to urge it-YES’’ The dynamics makes us wonder little that nation-wide papers and media message plea to the masses that ‘’it is the responsibility of government to decree the establishment of the national observance of Sunday’’. And that, ‘’there will be no relief from mounting economic disaster until a national Sunday law is strictly enforced’’!

But the beast with the lamb like horn ‘’spake as a dragon'' . And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed; And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword and did live’’ Revelation 13:12;13,14.

Can you imagine the U.S doing a thing like that, How could it possibly happen? Read closely! The lamb like horn and the dragon voice represent change of personality. A real change! The speaking of this country as a ‘’dragon’’ denotes the use of force. This principle, as we shall see, was used by the Leopard like beast (the first beast) of Revelation 13, which enforced the religious observances by law! Such action by the U.S government would be directly contrary to its grand principles of religion freedom. The constitution provides that ‘’Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof’’

‘’Speak as a Dragon’’ – United States, Do you hear it stirring? Have you noticed attitude becoming more intolerant and angry lately? Angry at crime, at politics, religion and social corruption? In view of the horrifying trends of the time, it understandable why the nation is to ‘’speak’’ that way. In one year, Americans spent $4 billion on pornography, divorce affects tens of million of homes, wrecking lives, mass murders, neglects of the ages, abuse of women and even babies, men possessed are taking the lives of men, women and children, millions of Americans hooked on drugs and their chemicals, peer at the world through differing degree of ‘’goony eyes’’ and further appall society with their resultant behavior and crimes. Prostitutes, homosexuals and drugs addicts share aids and aids related complex. Crimes doubles every ten years, the economy is broke, it has gotten so far in debt that many wonder what will happen next.
Many retired couples have either lost their food stamps and medic cards, or have had to divorce and live out of wedlock to keep them. Political and religious corruption have caused even the constitution to come under attack! People are angry, the nation is angry. The shifting of values and anger of the times (in speedy fulfillment of prophecy) are echoed in words blurted out by a Jesuit priest, ‘’I just don’t understand the reverence which everybody here seems to pay to the American constitution’’ I want to hear some Americans get up and shout give us justice, give us decency. And to….with American constitution.

It all started on a stark, rocky island. Into the horizon stretched the vast expanse of the of the murky deep. One lone figure rest on a barren ledge of sheer rock. His name, JOHN the Revelator. He’s rapt in vision. What he sees I fantastic, Strange beast, Clashing armies, Nation rising.
Its no surprise that the greatest nation on earth should be mentioned in prophesy. What John sees protends events shaping up in the united states that definitely will affect you. Read closely now as the scene unfolds.

‘’And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon’’ Revelation 13:11. A ‘’BEAST’’ in prophecy represents a ‘’KINGDOM’’ Daniel 7:23.
When a beast comes up out of the sea, ‘’it is represented in prophesy as rising amid ‘’many peoples and multitude’’ (a highly populated area) Revelation 17:15. To come out of the earth is just the opposite. So here we have a nation that is springing up out of a wilderness area. Instead of overthrowing other powers to establish itself, this nation would rise in territory previously un-occupied. It would be a country that’s discovered not conquered. Differing from the often blood-soaked nations of Europe, it would spring up quietly, peacefully, ‘’like a lamb’’.

Can you guess what nation of the new world arose into power, gicing promise of strength and greatness, that would fit this description? Sure! USA. It sprang up like a plant from the ground. A prominent author of the past century speaks of ‘’the mystery of her coming forth from vacancy’’ and adds, ‘’like a silent seed we grew into an empire. (white, E.G ‘’COSMIC CONFLICT’’ (Washington: review & herald pub. Assoc. 1982) page 388.

@ChinenyeN, Woooorrrrdddd

@Michelin89

The blame game is what we ingerited from our first father. Let me refresh your memory a bit, remember when God confronted Adam regarding the apple, intead of adam taking responsibility, he blamed the woman that God gave him, in order words, he was blaming God for the woman, Gen 2, 11-13 11: And he said, who told thee that thou wast naked? Has thou eaten of the tree, whereof i commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat? 12: And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and i did eat 13: And the Lord God said unto the woman, what is this that thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguilled me, and i did eat.

yes its our responsibility to control the outcome but my dear our level of susceptability differs, that why we must continue to ask God for strenght.

If there are any words that have been abused today, the words are ''Witches and Wizards''.

To some, wicthes posses magical powers for mischiefs, to others, anything that flies ia a witch, even when it had no inclination towards committing develish acts.

What about the woman who doesn't fly poisonous tongue huh. What about the man who is a serial murderer, although he has no magical powers huh If possessing magical powers is what makes a witch, then, the inventor and manufacturers of electricity, aeroplane, motor vehicles and all scientist are witches and wizards.

There are witches, so also an expert of a profession or work is a witch of some sort, think about it undecided

Crime › Ondo Panel To Probe Dead Woman's Missing Parts. by desthan(op): 12:17pm On Mar 07, 2009
Worried by the reports of some missing parts of the body of a 53years old dead woman, Deaconess Ebun Gbiri at the mortuary in Ondo state specialist hospital, the state government has inaugurated a seven man panel of enquiry to probe the incident.

The panel has two weeks to complete the assignment, and recommend sanction to forestall future occurrences to the state government. Late Deaconess Gbiri had taken ill and th family rushed her to the ondo state specialist hospital in akure for proper medical check up only for her to die while on admission.

After her death, her corpse was deposited at the mortuary only for the family to discovered some parts of her body were missing when they came back to claim the corpse.

Controversies trailed the reports despite the explanation given by the state hospital board that RATS INVADED THE MORGUE AND ATE UP THE MISSING PARTS OF THE DECEASED. But the families of the deceased were not convinced and they threatened court action against the authorities of the hospitals.

Responding to the public out cry, the state government said the enquiry became imperative following the hard stance of the family of the deceased. The commissioner of health during the inauguration said government had pleaded with the family of the deceased but they were not convnced with the explanation given by the hospital.


If it were you, what would be your re-action?
