"I saw a beast coming out of the sea. He had ten horns and seven heads, with ten crowns on his
horns, and on each head a blasphemous name.
The beast I saw resembled a leopard, but had feet
like those of a bear and a mouth like that of a lion.
The dragon gave the beast his power and his throne and great authority. One of the heads of the beast seemed to have had a fatal wound, but the
fatal wound had been healed. The whole world
was astonished and followed the beast...
...I saw another beast, coming out of the earth. He had two horns like a lamb, but he spoke like a dragon. He exercised all the authority of the
first beast on his behalf, and made the earth and
its inhabitants worship the first beast, whose fatal wound had been healed. And he performed great
and miraculous signs, even causing fire to come
down from heaven to earth in full view of men...
...no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the
number of his name. This calls for wisdom.
If anyone has insight, let him calculate the number of the beast, for it is man’s number. His number is 666...
- Revelation 13:1-3; 11-13; 17-18 |

Chapter thirteen introduces the beast from the sea (anti-christ) and the beast from the earth
(false prophet). The false prophet will cause the whole world to worship the anti-christ and
receive the mark on their right hand or forehead in order to buy and sell on the earth.

| I initially examined Christianity in order to write a book making a mockery of it… After extensive research, however, I discovered that Christianity is not a religion of men and women working their way to God through "good works." Nor is it obedience to a pattern of religious ritual. Rather, it is a relationship with a living God through His Son Jesus Christ. To my amazement, I was confronted with a person, not a religion. Here was a person who made staggering claims about Himself, along with profound claims on my life. Jesus was so different from what I had expected. Other religious leaders put their teachings out in front. Jesus put Himself out in front. Others would ask, "How are you responding to my teachings?" Jesus asked, "How are you related to Me?"

Humnos (Gr) - Hymn (Eng) - humnos is Greek word that is not translated, but is
instead simply transliterated into the English language as "hymn."
Humnos refers to a song sung in the praise of gods, heroes and conquerors.
Paul boldly used this heathen word twice (Eph.5:19; Col.3:16) to refer to the Lord Jesus being the God, the Hero and the ultimate Conqueror. But, other early church fathers did not follow his lead
because the word humnos was too closely associated with the pagan
praise of their gods, heroes and warriors. |

Do my desires cause division and dissension among people who otherwise would cooperate?
Is my attitude a source of contention at work? at church? at home? among friends?
I will trust God and do what is right in a spirit of unity and allow the Lord room to bless and prosper.

"A greedy man stirs up dissension, but he who trusts in the Lord will prosper."
