Revelation chap. 13-14

People will be divided by worship, either wild beast worship or the worship of the Creator of heaven and earth.

Re chap. 13, wild beast worship

The raged Satan who was hurled down from heaven and failed again to subvert the new covenant, now goes off to wage war with the remaining sons of the kingdom.

Satan will use the political power for this war.
All nations' political power will be consolidated into one for the political beast worship.

In order to make this situation, Satan will instigate the great war among the nations, as foretold by the fiery colored galloping horse in Re chap 6.
Because of that great war, one of the major Satan's political system was damaged to death.

This has not happened yet, unlike the WTS' false prophecy of the WWI.
The WWI can't be interpreted the death stroke for the world power in our age.
The US and Britain were a victor nations, and though Granary and Japan were defeated nations, they still functioned well.
The world power in our age which was the victor of the war didn't get the death stroke by the WWI.

Re 12:17
17 And the dragon grew wrathful at the woman, and went off to wage war with the remaining ones of her seed, who observe the commandments of God and have the work of bearing witness to Jesus.

Re 13:1-4
1 And it stood still upon the sand of the sea.
And I saw a wild beast ascending out of the sea, with ten horns and seven heads, and upon its horns ten diadems, but upon its heads blasphemous names. 2 Now the wild beast that I saw was like a leopard, but its feet were as those of a bear, and its mouth was as a lion's mouth. And the dragon gave to [the beast] its power and its throne and great authority.

3 And I saw one of its heads as though slaughtered to death, but its death-stroke got healed, and all the earth followed the wild beast with admiration. 4 And they worshiped the dragon because it gave the authority to the wild beast, and they worshiped the wild beast with the words: "Who is like the wild beast, and who can do battle with it?"

Satan and the wild beast will be worshiped by all the nations.
Almost all people in all the nations admit that their life depend on the human political system.
They want to go along with it, submitting themselves to it for peaceful life.

Here is where the endurance of the sons of the kingdom.
Three and half years tribulation will begin after a great war due to the promotion of the wild beast worship.

Re 13:5-10
5 And a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies was given it, and authority to act forty-two months (1260 days, 3.5 years) was given it. 6 And it opened its mouth in blasphemies against God, to blaspheme his name and his residence, even those residing in heaven. 7 And there was granted it to wage war with the holy ones and conquer them, and authority was given it over every tribe and people and tongue and nation. 8 And all those who dwell on the earth will worship it; the name of not one of them stands written in the scroll of life of the Lamb who was slaughtered, from the founding of the world.
9 If anyone has an ear, let him hear. 10 If anyone [is meant] for captivity, he goes away into captivity. If anyone will kill with the sword, he must be killed with the sword. Here is where it means the endurance and faith of the holy ones.

A lamb like false prophet which is another wild beast ascending from the earth will make the image of the first wild beast, whose death-stroke got healed and perform great signs and promote wild beast worship.
It brings about a totalitarian global controlled and monitored world due to the developed technology.

Eventually, people in the world will be classified into two groups in their trust, those who trust in human political arrangement, or those who trust in YHWH, the Creator of the heaven and earth.

Re 13:11-18
11 And I saw another wild beast ascending out of the earth, and it had two horns like a lamb, but it began speaking as a dragon. 12 And it exercises all the authority of the first wild beast in its sight. And it makes the earth and those who dwell in it worship the first wild beast, whose death-stroke got healed. 13 And it performs great signs, so that it should even make fire come down out of heaven to the earth in the sight of mankind.

14 And it misleads those who dwell on the earth, because of the signs that were granted it to perform in the sight of the wild beast, while it tells those who dwell on the earth to make an image to the wild beast that had the sword-stroke and yet revived. 15 And there was granted it to give breath to the image of the wild beast, so that the image of the wild beast should both speak and cause to be killed all those who would not in any way worship the image of the wild beast.

16 And it puts under compulsion all persons, the small and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the free and the slaves, that they should give these a mark in their right hand or upon their forehead, 17 and that nobody might be able to buy or sell except a person having the mark, the name of the wild beast or the number of its name. 18 Here is where wisdom comes in: Let the one that has intelligence calculate the number of the wild beast, for it is a man's number; and its number is six hundred and sixty-six (666).

The globalists who control the world with money have created systems named the name taken from Revelation's account.

They say that the super computer which can store the every communication in the world in US military is called the wild beast. Check it out Echelon.

The identification number 666 are implemented in the bar-code used internationally for the commercial products already.

666 is said man's number, why?
I'm wondering if there is such an intelligent person who can calculate the number 666.
It is the number of the wild beast's name also.
And the name of the wild beast is blasphemous for God, so the number 666 must be blasphemous also.

What could be the blasphemous name by which attracts people to worship itself?
We will see in time.

Re chap. 14, Worship of YHWH the Creator of heaven and earth

In contrast with the people who worship the wild beast having the name of it on their foreheads, the 144,000, who have been bought from the earth have Christ's name and the name of his Father written on their foreheads.

It tells us that clear distinction will be made among people dwelling on the earth with regard to worship.
One who worship the wild beast, the other who worship YHWH.

Worship will become a vital issue among people dwelling on the earth.

People will be forced to demonstrate what they worship, immense human institution or YHWH.

During the time of the wild beast worship imposed upon all people dwelling on the earth, the good news of the kingdom will become outstanding as if the final calling to the meek ones on the earth.

Re 14:6-7
6 And I saw another angel flying in midheaven, and he had everlasting good news to declare as glad tidings to those who dwell on the earth, and to every nation and tribe and tongue and people, 7 saying in a loud voice: "FEAR God and give him glory, because the hour of the judgment by him has arrived, and so worship the One who made the heaven and the earth and sea and fountains of waters."

It would be done by all remaining sons of the kingdom around the world.
Their witnessing would become more intensified toward the end as foretold by 7 trumpets blast.
They will be brought before kings and governors for the witnessing.
In this manner the good news of the kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations. The sons of the kingdom will be on the news as a theatrical spectacle to the world for their rejection of wild beast worship. They will carry out an unmistakable witnessing about Christ's coming to judge Satan's world. It is like a public warning trumpets sound.

WTS's door-to-door work around the world is nothing more than their recruitment campaign and has nothing to do with the witness of the Kingdom of God on the verge of Christ's return.

The seven trumpets blast

1st trumpet	there occurred a hail and fire mingled with blood, and it was hurled to the earth; and a third of the earth was burned up, and a third of the trees was burned up, and all the green vegetation was burned up. (Re 8:7)
2nd trumpet	something like a great mountain burning with fire was hurled into the sea. And a third of the sea became blood; 9 and a third of the creatures that are in the sea which have souls died, and a third of the boats were wrecked. (Re 8:8)
3rd trumpet	a great star burning as a lamp fell from heaven, and it fell upon a third of the rivers and upon the fountains of waters. 11 And the name of the star is called Wormwood. And a third of the waters turned into wormwood, and many of the men died from the waters, because these had been made bitter. (Re 8:10-11)
4th trumpet	a third of the sun was smitten and a third of the moon and a third of the stars, in order that a third of them might be darkened and the day might not have illumination for a third of it, and the night likewise. (Re 8: 12)
5th trumpet	The 1st Woe hurt the men five months. (Re 9:10)
6th trumpet	The 2nd Woe killed a third of the men, and the rest of the men did not repent (Re 9:18, 20), and also killed 7,000 persons by a great earthquake when the two witnesses were resurrected, and the rest became frightened and gave glory to God. (Re 11:13)
7th trumpet	The 3rd Woe killed those ruining the earth. (Re 11:18)

As the worship of the wild beast is progressing, the Babylon the Great will be removed.
At that time, all the sons of the Kingdom will have already left her, a state-registered religious organization, and will be bearing great witness.

Re 14:8
8 And another, a second angel, followed, saying: "She has fallen! Babylon the Great has fallen, she who made all the nations drink of the wine of the anger of her fornication!"

The destruction of the Babylon the Great is not the start of the great tribulation, but it will occur during the great tribulation. The great tribulation will begin with a great war which triggers great famine and plague as shown in Re chap. 6. And it is the raged Satan who was hurled down from heaven that is responsible for these disasters.

The witnessing work which the sons of the kingdom carry out is the battle with the raged Satan who was hurled down from the heaven.

Mt 24:23-14
13 But he that has endured to the end is the one that will be saved. 14 And this good news of the kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations; and then the end will come.

Re 14:9-13
9 And another angel, a third, followed them, saying in a loud voice: "If anyone worships the wild beast and its image, and receives a mark on his forehead or upon his hand, 10 he will also drink of the wine of the anger of God that is poured out undiluted into the cup of his wrath, and he shall be tormented with fire and sulphur in the sight of the holy angels and in the sight of the Lamb. 11 And the smoke of their torment ascends forever and ever, and day and night they have no rest, those who worship the wild beast and its image, and whoever receives the mark of its name. 12 Here is where it means endurance for the holy ones, those who observe the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus."

13 And I heard a voice out of heaven say: "Write: Happy are the dead who die in union with [the] Lord from this time onward. Yes, says the spirit, let them rest from their labors, for the things they did go right with them."

All of us are encouraged to be faithful until death.
Then our future life will be secured by the fist resurrection.

Re 2:10
10 Do not be afraid of the things you are about to suffer. Look! The Devil will keep on throwing some of YOU into prison that YOU may be fully put to the test, and that YOU may have tribulation ten days. Prove yourself faithful even to death, and I will give you the crown of life.

the hour to reap

Jesus Christ will reap the sons of the kingdom.
Another angel will reap the clusters of the vine of the earth.

Re 14:14-20
14 And I saw, and, look! a white cloud, and upon the cloud someone seated like a son of man, with a golden crown on his head and a sharp sickle in his hand.

15 And another angel emerged from the temple [sanctuary], crying with a loud voice to the one seated on the cloud: "Put your sickle in and reap, because the hour has come to reap, for the harvest of the earth is thoroughly ripe." 16 And the one seated on the cloud thrust in his sickle on the earth, and the earth was reaped.

17 And still another angel emerged from the temple [sanctuary] that is in heaven, he, too, having a sharp sickle.

18 And still another angel emerged from the altar and he had authority over the fire. And he called out with a loud voice to the one that had the sharp sickle, saying: "Put your sharp sickle in and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth, because its grapes have become ripe." 19 And the angel thrust his sickle into the earth and gathered the vine of the earth, and he hurled it into the great winepress of the anger of God. 20 And the winepress was trodden outside the city, and blood came out of the winepress as high up as the bridles of the horses, for a distance of a thousand six hundred furlongs (About 296km, 185mi).
