Well, all I do about the Beast is that it will come up out the waters from Hell, and walk on land to rule and it will be over trade and religion. Everyone will
have to receive the mark (The Mark of The Beast) in order to receive food neccessities. Then, i read somewhere in the Revelation that after the Beast reigns, it will
be killed. There is alot in that part that i did not get, but i'll ask God for understand.
: : Is the image of the beast the Antichrist or the Devil? I'll read the Bible later today.
: : : : :if i was to try and find out about the mysticism i have experienced, many people in my
: : : : : church would not understand where i am coming from, so i now feel more than less, that this is a personal,
: : : : : spiritual journey with God.
: : : : What is the mysticism that you have experienced? Might be necessary for you to first off determine the difference between "religion" and "spirituality"; then recognize what Lenny Bruce said about it all: "More people are leaving churches and coming back to God". Speaking of an element of mysticism: how many of you out there have one of the nine gifts given to the believer i.e. WISDOM. If so, dear seeker, tell me, please, Who or what is the IMAGE to the beast? ( If you know this one kids, it might even keep you from having your name taken from the book of life...but again, scripture did say " ALL but the elect will be decieved. bet 99.9999% don`t have a clue.)Forgive me Cory, but I have decided to go beyond the ego/persona on this one. Where I go , you can`t follow!
: When Satan(devil) is kicked out of the etheric realm, he incarcerates himself in a human enity here on earth; that is the anti-christ( He will be able to direct trade , stop wars et cetera, because the system will have political AND religious power) ...Watch this renee: watch the European Community...in a very short time the Eurodollar will be the currency of exchange, and the dollar will fall into irrelevancy...then a MAJOR religious leader will be taken from the United States...anyway , the point is: antichrist,beast,devil, are ALL segments of the whole...my question is : Do you know what the image to the beast is? ...sounds to me you are in the dark as to the Beast himself...Sorry, but scripture merely alludes to these characters identities...That is why references of wisdom are sprinkled throughout the N>T> We are within months of a major meltdown...Not trying to frighten you; just prepare you. Get quiet. Go within. The answer lies within you. Beware of man`s brownboots on the soul of the spirit..."I am for religion,against religions". Victor Hugo. The problem with discussing these themes is one always comes across as sounding fanatical. Oh, well...No matter how deep the trances of man are e.g. cultural,consensus,etal...who can deny the plagues that we are now experiencing? You thought5 the seven dead last year in New York were something from that virus transmitted from misquitos...watch! Other things about to transpire: North Korea will launch a nuclear device upon South Korea...Stock market will finally collapse...12 year cycle of sun`s solar immissions will dramaticly interrupt communication grids worldwide; major terroristic attacks will happen inside borders of United States...I expect half of these things , maybe all, to occur in the next 6 to 18 months. Find your center, dear renee...that part of you that is at peace with God. It can lead you. Not man.Now, that I sounded totally wacko, I`ll end. ( that is why I liked that scene in "The Usual Suspects"...when Kevin Spacey`s character mentioned how he admired this malevolent character`s smarts: The Devil got everybody to believe he does`t exist. Amazing multi-dimentional world we live in, huh?)
