The Terrible Day of the Lord-The Mark of the Beast-4

What will God do? What will Satan do? Both God and Satan have marked or sealed their followers. God is not confused about who are His sheep. But, taking the mark of the beast has a very serious bearing on eternal life.

Reelationv 19:11  And I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse, and He who sat on it is called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and wages war. 

19:12  His eyes are a flame of fire, and on His head are many diadems; and He has a name written on Him which no one knows except Himself. 

19:13  He is clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of God. 

19:14  And the armies which are in heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and clean, were following Him on white horses. 

19:15  From His mouth comes a sharp sword, so that with it He may strike down the nations, and He will rule them with a rod of iron; and He treads the wine press of the fierce wrath of God, the Almighty. 

19:16  And on His robe and on His thigh He has a name written, "KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS." 

Is this the Jesus you know? Is this the Jesus that you have devoted your life to serving and obeying? Too many think of Jesus as a baby in a manger in December, or in Mary’s arms. Others think of Him as on a cross or in a tomb. But, how many think of Him in these terrifying terms?

19:17  Then I saw an angel standing in the sun, and he cried out with a loud voice, saying to all the birds which fly in midheaven, "Come, assemble for the great supper of God, 19:18  so that you may eat the flesh of kings and the flesh of commanders and the flesh of mighty men and the flesh of horses and of those who sit on them and the flesh of all men, both free men and slaves, and small and great." 

This is a very terrifying and gruesome passage. Perhaps millions or billions of birds descending on this scene of death and carnage to pick at the dead flesh of all of those who followed Satan into battle against the King of Kings. From the loftiest leaders to the lowest slaves, they were deceived.

19:19  And I saw the beast and the kings of the earth and their armies assembled to make war against Him who sat on the horse and against His army. 

19:20  And the beast was seized, and with him the false prophet who performed the signs in his presence, by which he deceived those who had received the mark of the beast and those who worshiped his image; these two were thrown alive into the lake of fire which burns with brimstone. 

19:21  And the rest were killed with the sword which came from the mouth of Him who sat on the horse, and all the birds were filled with their flesh.

The beast and the false prophet were thrown into the lake of fire. The billions of others who were slain will now be brought before the great white throne for judgment. They all have the mark of the beast. They were all deceived. They all worshiped his image. They will all be thrown into the lake of fire with the beast and false prophet.

They have no place to hide and no one else to blame. They are neither innocent or ignorant. They are condemned.
