The Seal of God and the Mark of the Beast: Part 2

The war between God and Satan is about worship, loyalty, and control. In Daniel 7, we read about the little horn power. That same power is shown as a wild animal in Revelation 13. 2 Thessalonians 2:3 names this same religious power “the Man of Evil” (ERV). So, the little-horn power, the wild animal, and the Man of Evil are names for the same religious power. This power tries to take control of the church away from God. This power commands people to be loyal to its rules. It also replaces God’s rules and worships Him with its own rules and forces people to accept false ideas about God. God is different. He is love. God doesn’t force anyone to worship Him. We worship God because we love Him, and He loves us. Only one thing will keep us from getting the sea animal’s mark in the end times. A love for Jesus. This study will explore the sea animal’s mark.

How do we move past knowing about grace to experiencing it personally? How can a new life in Christ unite us as a church?

Imagine if every believer put on the full armour of God! What would that look like individually and as a church?

We are in the middle of a battle between good and evil. Paul reminds us to seek strength and protection in the Lord.
