3 Characteristucs of the Religion in thr Last Days
Revelation 17

1. Babylon is a RELIGIOUS system, worldview and spirit... a ONE-WORLD religion that unites the world
- Not all religions are the same that leads you to one God
- The only way to God is through Jesus

2. Babylon refers to a society that excludes GOD and elevates MAN
- Every false religion traces back to Genesis 11:1-9 through the Tower of Babel

3. The last days religion will be a MIXTURE of all religions with a NEW AGE-ism that appeals to man's PRIDE and intellect
- There will be a spiritual adultery
- The new religion will blend all religions
- The bible is the one word and we serve a living God and Savior
- Challenge people to read the word of Jesus, reading it from cover to cover

I've finally settled into my new place. There is no cleaning that needs to be done. No heavy lifting, no unpacking, no setting up furniture, and no bloody shelf lining! Year end is over. There is a little break from the stresses of CMA. I can finally relax and enjoy my new place (and my new Poang).

Winter is over and it's time to change up some unhealthy habits. No more fast food, no more drinking. It's also time to clear my mind and start fresh. I've been trying so hard to make certain things happen and sometimes you have to just stop and let it run its own course. You can't always have your way or force something when it just isn't working. I am sick of feeling down about myself when I have nothing to feel down about. I need to have a healthy, positive attitude and it starts now.

The next event is the rapture of the church.

Today's climate: people want to hear what they want to hear.

Jesus was full of truth and full of grace.

- If anyone tries to harm them, fire will come out of their mouths
- When they are finished prophesing, the beast will devour them
- For 3.5 days, people will gaze on their bodies and refuse to bury them
- Inhabitants of earth will gloat and celebrate because they have tormented those on earth

- people will believe he is the answer to all of life's problems
- one of the heads seemed to have a fatal wound but the fatal wound has been healed
- but satan does NOT have the power to raise the dead. this will be a DECEPTION. only GOD HAS THE POWER TO RAISE THE DEAD

6. The false prophet
- dragon mocks the Father
- beast mocks Jesus
- the false prophet mocks the Holy Spirit

7. The Angels
- The Angels were covered with eyes
- Like a lion, ox, man and flying eagle = Jesus

- The 24 elders laid their crowns before Jesus's throne
- There was a scroll with a seal on it. They looked at who could break the seal. There's no one who could open the scroll. The lion is able to open the scroll. John saw a lamb looking as if it had been slain (Jesus still bears the wounds) but is not dead!
- The Church fell down before the lamb
- The day of the Lord is coming for his Church
- Angels are guarding you and protecting you
