Mark of the Beast Monday
The Revelation of Jesus Christ

Revelation 13

The book of Revelation is written by the apostle John while he was banished to the Island of Patmos for preaching the Gospel. Some may say that the book of Revelation is a scary book, a book of symbols, and beasts. But if you look a little closer at the book of Revelation, in fact, in the first verse of the book you will find that the book of Revelation is truly the revelation of Jesus Christ. Jesus is revealing Himself to us in the book. And if we want to get to know Jesus, we must pay attention to the places in the bible where He reveals Himself. In Genesis Jesus reveals Himself as creator, in the Gospels Jesus reveals Himself as savior, and in Revelation Jesus reveals Himself as judge.
In Revelation thirteen, Jesus is a fair judge, He lets us choose who we will serve. He reveals to John in chapter thirteen that the devil will try to force us to worship him through worldly systems and governments. But if we stay faithful to the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world, we will have nothing to fear. This world can be a very scary place and some of the people we daily encounter sure do act like a beast. But fear not, because we have a God who will protect us from any beast that will try to harm us. In Revelation thirteen a beast will try to put his mark on us. But those who are sealed by God cannot be marked by the beast. Are you sealed by God? Or will you receive the mark of the beast? The answer to that question can only be found by allowing God to reveal Himself to you and allow Him to put His seal on you. Over the next couple weeks lets talk about this Mark – Mark of the Beast Mondays. Read Revelation thirteen and see what God reveals to you.
