Daily devotion with Dr. Cheryl Davis.

Learn more about the ministry of the Truth Project at www.projecttruthmatters.com. In this edition, the false prophets main plan of deception.
Here's Dr. Davis. This will be the gathering place to worship the antichrist. The false prophet does not give life, but he is granted power to give breath to the image that he should speak.
Some say it is ventriloquism, some say it's a hologram, some say it's a computer like Alexa. We don't really know, but the false prophet makes the image seem to be alive. The media will broadcast around the world the messages and this will be the focal point of every person's day. This image is the abomination of desolation that Jesus spoke about in Matthew 24 verses 15-18. This is the same abomination of desolation that Daniel spoke about as well. The image of the beast is a signal for those with eyes to see and ears to hear. He tells the disciples that when you see this you need to flee to the mountains.
Things are going to get worse than ever before hereafter. But notice the demands of the beast. It causes all small and great, rich and poor, free and slave to receive the mark on the right hand or on their foreheads that no one may buy or sell except one of those who has the mark or the name of the beast or the number of his name. If you remember in Revelation chapter 7 verse 3 I'm going to read that saying, Do not harm the earth, the sea and the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God on their foreheads. The Lord caused the mark to be put on the foreheads of the 144,000 Jewish evangelists. We see that also in Revelation chapter 14 verse 1.
But what God does Satan also imitates. It's his way of counterfeiting. It's a form of control to mark those who are loyal to the beast. Those without the mark will be deemed traitors and boycotted by the commercial system that the beast controls. Those without the mark will die from exposure or starvation or illness as a result of not being able to purchase what they need. We tend to think that only those without the mark will suffer, but really those with the mark will suffer as well.
We can see that in Revelation chapter 14 verses 9 through 11. When we get to that in the future we'll discuss it, but people really are going to face a choice. One, to reject the mark and suffer at the hands of the beast or to accept the mark and suffer at the hands of God. Really you have to decide which is worse in that case, to suffer the temporary wrath of the beast but receive the eternal favor of God or to receive the temporary favor of the beast and suffer the eternal wrath of God.
I don't know about you, but I'm all about getting the temporary suffering here on earth so that I can spend an eternity at peace and prosperity with God.
