I talked about how using current situations to solve world problems, much like vaccination, and some of you have reached out to me about vaccination, so I welcome those inquiries.
If you would like to contact me at Cheryl Davis at www.projecttruthmatters.com, I'm willing to help you to get through this issue. But the concept of solving a global problem is the platform for urgency in which I think the Antichrist will use in the last days. By limiting travel and commerce related to solving the global problem as the concept, we already see that at play in our society, some today. But really, it's not about vaccination. I don't want to make this subject about vaccination, but really you can substitute anything for vaccination. You can say, using a cashless society. Actually, I went to a gas station last week to get a drink and the cashier refused to cash my $10 bill for a $2 drink.
I asked for the exact change or a credit card. So really, we can put certain things in society to direct behavior. And what I'm trying to say is that the Antichrist will use this concept in the last days to change the behavior of society to become more dependent on the government. But when we get into chapter 14, chapter 14 is a contrast to chapter 13. Chapter 13 mainly was about the beast and the false prophet, where chapter 14 verses 1 through 5 talk about the lamb and the 144,000. So let's just read the first five verses of Revelation chapter 14.
Like I said before, there's a contrast between chapter 13 and chapter 14. If you look at chapter 13, we have Satan's lamb, who is the false prophet. But in chapter 14, we have God's lamb, who is Jesus Christ. In chapter 13, the beast and the false prophet spew a false religion. But in chapter 14, we see a true religion. In chapter 13, we see idolatry everywhere. But in chapter 14, we're going to see worship everywhere. In chapter 13, we see the mark of the beast. And in chapter 14, we see God's mark, which is the mark on the foreheads of the 144,000.
In chapter 13, we know the number of man is 666, where in chapter 14, the number of those that are redeemed from the earth are 144,000. You've been listening to Truth Matters with Dr. Cheryl Davis.
