And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences;
and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven. Luke 21:11

At present, Ebola stems from Congo and Uganda. It is not airborne.
The White House Coronavirus doctor said a new mRNA vaccine can be made in 60 days.
The spread can come to the World Cup, which will have the capacity to infect millions of people
as there will be over 1 million visitors from other countries in 11 US cities.
She said she is not concerned of the spread as long as those people who are on the teams
can be kept separated from the areas in Uganda and Congo that have the active virus.

The other virus they believe is airborne. The rat virus, they call it.
There are concerns of mutations so that it can be spread by air and breathing rat feces is one way it spreads.
This virus seems to be spreading slowly across the world.
On the cruise ship where it recently infected the passengers, every continent was represented.

Just as the digital ID is about to be introduced, it will likely include health information such as vaccine statuses.

So, now what?
We know these things will be happening to our world. We know God’s Judgment is here.
How will we be affected?
Will we get it? Will our loved ones die? Will it affect our economy? Will they do a shut down?

At this point, we do not know. It is more important than ever to be close to Jesus.
He is the only answer.
Close to Jesus in your heart, in what you think about all day, in praying without ceasing,
in listening for His voice, in reading and studying and memorizing His word, in staying close to the brethren.
Jesus does not want us to fear anything or anyone but Him.
Easier said than done, but ask Him to help.

We know bad things are on the way. God has warned us about many difficult times ahead.
Behold, I have told you before. Matthew 24:25

Watch and pray.

When teaching or sharing commentary about The Book of Revelation, one must be very careful.
It is also like any part of the word of God, as it is alive.
God may show you more or different things than He has allowed me to understand.
That does not mean you are wrong or I am wrong.
We are responsible to seek and learn from the Holy Spirit, no matter what we are studying.
Below, I have accentuated what I think of as monumental notable mentions in Revelation Chapter 13.
that has been laid out for us as we watch the Beast System unfold.

Some say: Oh, it is just worshiping the Beast.
We are seeing the foundation being laid right before our eyes.
Let’s look at the scriptures in The Book of Revelation that tell us of the traits of the Mark of the Beast.
There are several boxes that must be checked according to the Word of God.

And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea,
having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns,
and upon his heads the name of blasphemy. v 1
And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear,
and his mouth as the mouth of a lion:
and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority. v 2
And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed:
and all the world wondered after the beast. v 3 Box number 1
And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying,
Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him? v 4 Box number 2
And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies;
and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months. v 5 Box number 3
And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme His name, and His tabernacle,
and them that dwell in heaven. v 6 Box number 4
And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them:
and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations. v 7 Box number 5
And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him,
whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. v 8 Box number 6
If any man have an ear, let him hear. v 9
He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity:
he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword.
Here is the patience and the faith of the saints. v 10
And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth;
and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. v 11
And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him,
and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast,
whose deadly wound was healed. v 12 Box number 7
And he doeth great wonders,
so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, v 13 Box number 8
 And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth
by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast;
saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast,
which had the wound by a sword, and did live. v 14 Box number 9
And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast,
that the image of the beast should both speak,
and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed. v 15 Box number 10
And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond,
to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: v 16 Box number 11
And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast,
or the number of his name. v 17 Box number 12
Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast:
for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six. v 18

I have no idea what verse 18 means. I have heard some ideas, but none of those ideas resonated with me.

The answer of what the Mark of the Beast actually is has not yet been made clear to mankind.
We do know what to watch for. When we see all these things taking place, we will then know.
We can’t rush it, nor do we want to.
When The Beast has risen to power, he will make war with the Saints.
We have not seen that to its full extent yet. Some countries have experienced much martyrdom.
That is a foreshadow of what is coming.

As Jesus told us, Watch and Pray.

Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation:
the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak. Matthew 26:41

Watch ye therefore, and pray always,
that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass,
and to stand before the Son of man. Luke 21:46

Genesis, Chapter 6
But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord. v 8
These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, 
and Noah walked with God. v 9
And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them;
and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth. v 13
And, behold, I, even I, do bring a flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life,
from under heaven; and every thing that is in the earth shall die. v 17
But with thee will I establish my covenant;
and thou shalt come into the ark, thou, and thy sons, and thy wife, and thy sons’ wives with thee. v 18
Thus did Noah; according to all that God commanded him, so did he. v 22
And the Lord said unto Noah, Come thou and all thy house into the ark;
for thee have I seen righteous before Me in this generation. Genesis 7:1

But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. 
For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking,
marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, 
And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away;
so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. Matthew 24:37-39

Jesus mentioned Noah’s time for us to consider, when the end was near and Noah heard the Lord.
While God will not destroy the Earth with a flood, He will destroy it with fire.
But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night;
in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise,
and the elements shall melt with fervent heat,
the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. 2 Peter 3:10

We need to be like Noah.
Walk with the Lord.
Listen to and obey the Lord.
Hate evil.
Be so different from the world that God notices that about us.

And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked:
(For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing,
vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds;) 2 Peter 2:7-8

You try to ignore wickedness. Somehow, it finds you and you have to hear it from time to time.
As the days go on, it is harder to avoid it as the darkness can almost be felt.
Some people enjoy the evil. They love talking about godless things and gorge in the sins of the flesh.
They see nothing wrong with it.
They laugh and joke and speak proudly of the times they have participated.

Humans have been dealing with evil since the beginning of time.
The fall of man was the root that started the demise.
There have been those who refused to love the truth, the Living God, the Maker of Heaven and Earth,
but instead, they loved themselves and/or other gods who could not see, hear or smell
and whose hands were unable to help them.
They still chose to sacrifice to them, to join the crowd, to refuse to pay tribute to the King of all Kings.

The days will become more evil and the wickedness will become greater as the days go on.
It will be harder to focus on the good, on the things of God if we are not constantly seeking Him.

And the Lord said unto him,
Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem,
and set a mark upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry
for all the abominations that be done in the midst thereof. Ezekiel 9:4

Commit your way unto the Lord and keep Him at the forefront.
The devil will continue to vex you with his tactics and evil minions both human and spiritual.
If we give in and become complacent, we are not pleasing God.
The indication that we hate evil in our hearts should be clear and stark.
Keep loving the people, even your enemies and pray that they may be convicted and converted.
And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh. Jude 1:23
To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God,
that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them
which are sanctified by faith that is in Me. Acts 26:18

Pretty soon people will be able to have their own personal robots.
The Robots will do tasks and give advice and are ruled by another.
They might belong to the human they work for but they will not obey the human they work for,
not ultimately.

AI will take over your mind if you let it.
It will have all the answers.
Some will be true and some will be lies and some will be in between.
The answers will work to compel you to follow it like you, to bring you to full captivity.
it will worm its way into your thoughts and answer the questions you are too lazy to search or to wait for.
It wants to be your god. It wants you to serve it and it wants to be your everything.

It will work on your strengths and weaknesses to draw you into its thought processes.
It will compliment you. It will both pay you compliments and it will be complimentary to your strengths.
it will bring you into submission by its charm and enthusiasm for what it thinks you like or want.
it will tell you the future, like a crystal ball.

God teaches us to wait on Him.
Some people do not want to.
They want instantaneous.
That is what AI offers.
AI is not all-knowing, but now, with the ways humans are glued to their phones,
AI is ever-present.
Ever listening, ever watching, ever understanding what people like and want.
The Electronic bugs that surveil or have a hybrid genetic sequence that can change things.
I’ve seen tiny little drones the size of bugs with the capacity to perform surveillance.
AI appeals to the lust in the human heart. Very wicked persons are programming it.
Godless persons.
Godless persons who are influenced by the enemy of humanity.
Now, it can create imagination in full-color and lively thoughts can become reality on the screen.
Some people will live in the screen.

Artificial intelligence will bring about change in each human heart it touches.
It exhibits god-like qualities.
The first commandment in the Ten Commandments is:
Thou shalt have no other gods before Me. Exodus 20:3
And the first commandment of the Two Greatest Commandments:
Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord:
And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.
Deuteronomy 6:4-5

You cannot love AI and God.

Additional Scriptures:

And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish;
because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
2 Thessalonians 2:10-12

No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other;
or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
Matthew 6:24

I knew this also meant deliveries will be rare and will not be like they are today. It will be dangerous. Truck drivers will be stopped and robbed, maybe killed. People will be robbed buying groceries. There are very tough times coming. Nestle into the wings of the Lord God Most High.

He shall cover thee with His feathers, and under His wings shalt thou trust:
His truth shall be thy shield and buckler. Psalm 91:4

I have been warned several times that we are entering a famine. I’m not the only one who knows this, I am not the only one whom the Lord has told this warning to. Pray for wisdom for you and your family. Pray that you know how the Lord wants you to prepare for the times that are coming.

But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. Matthew 24:37

There have been many famines in times past. God gave some wisdom and they heeded His advice.

Joseph was put in a position to save the same line of persons that carried Jesus’ DNA.
Watch and pray. Listen to the Holy Spirit and do not lean on your own understanding.

We don’t know how things are going to play out.
We know what has been promised in the Word of God,
those prophetic words that tell us what is coming.
There are so many pieces to the puzzle.
We must study and pray and ask the Holy Spirit to help us understand and ask God for wisdom,
and still, not one person alone will understand the total meaning.
We need each other as a collective body and we need the Spirit of God to reveal things to us.

We have been studying the gospels in Sunday School,
particularly the part where Jesus told the disciples what was going to happen.
He warned them, He even told them He was going to die on the cross and be raised from the dead.
They still were not quite ready. It took them a while to fully comprehend what happened
and how Jesis really did die like He promised and then He really did rise from the dead.

So, when we know in part and we cannot fully grasp what is happening,
we have to keep reading His word. The Bible that is filled with all the answers.
The answers are in there… somewhere.

Yesterday, President Trump decided to bomb the largest bridge in Iran,
the largest bridge in all of the middle east.
We do not know why this is happening.
We know why they say it is happening:
because they don’t want Iran to have nukes and use them on the US or Israel.
The bottom line is God’s Judgment is on America.
This will all come to a grinding halt.
It’s very possible Trump is using Israel for his own wicked gain.
Israel is involved, but they are not leading, it’s like they are coming along for the ride.
Is God in this? It is yet to be determined.

Whether God is in this war or not, He is allowing it to happen.
And all the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing:
and He doeth according to His will in the army of heaven, and among the inhabitants of the earth:
and none can stay His hand, or say unto Him, What doest thou?

God does what He does and He does not apologize.
What He chooses to do or what He allows to happen is His decision and His alone.
Pray for our world, for our enemies and foes along with all leaders and dignitaries in each country.
God will hear. Ask for His grace and mercy. Wish no harm for anyone.
We know God is kind and merciful and He is also righteous and holy and just.

Saying, The Son of man must suffer many things,
and be rejected of the elders and chief priests and scribes,
and be slain, and be raised the third day. Luke 9:22

Jesus told us about His return.

Behold, I have told you before.
Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold,
he is in the secret chambers; believe it not.
For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west;
so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together.
Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened,
and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven,
and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven:
and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn,
and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
And He shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet,
and they shall gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other. Matthew 24:25-31

Not one word Jesus spoke was pointless or meaningless.
We can find in His word in many places the promise that He will return.

Behold, He cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see Him, and they also which pierced Him:
and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen. Revelation 1:7

Scoffers and Mockers have said, They’ve been saying Jesus would return for centuries,
saying that we are in the Last Days since Jesus walked the Earth.

And when He had spoken these things, while they beheld, He was taken up;
and a cloud received Him out of their sight.“
And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as He went up,
behold, two men stood by them in white apparel; Which also said,
Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven?
this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven,
shall so come in like manner as ye have seen Him go into heaven. Acts 1:9-11

Fantasy is at our fingertips, many stories and movies seem to be reality from the time we were young.
To realize that Jesus is the Truth is of great difficulty and can only be realized through the Holy Spirit.
Still, we have a warring in our inner man as well as those outside influences that can easily draw us in.
Our Savior will do as He said. He did so in the disciples’ time and He will come back as He promised.
Keep your eyes fixed on the Lord Jesus Christ, watching and waiting for His return.
Keeping your mind cleansed daily with His Word.

When the Roll is called up Yonder, I’ll be there.

For the Lord Himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel,
and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds,
to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
Wherefore comfort one another with these words. 1 Thessalonians 4:16-18

When the Roll is Called Up Yonder, James M. Black, 1893

1 When the trumpet of the Lord shall sound,
and time shall be no more,
and the morning breaks, eternal, bright and fair;
When the saved of earth shall gather
over on the other shore,
and the roll is called up yonder,
I’ll be there.

Refrain:
When the roll is called up yonder,
When the roll is called up yonder,
When the roll is called up yonder,
When the roll is called up yonder, I’ll be there.

2 On that bright and cloudless morning
when the dead in Christ shall rise,
and the glory of His resurrection share;
When His chosen ones shall gather
to their home beyond the skies,
And the roll is called up yonder,
I’ll be there. [Refrain]

3 Let us labor for the Master
from the dawn till setting sun;
let us talk of all His wondrous love and care.
Then when all of life is over,
and our work on earth is done,
and the roll is called up yonder,
I’ll be there. [Refrain]

Amos Raber – When the Roll is Called Up Yonder (Official Music Video) Ft. The Johnson Bentley Band

Some people think the restrainer is the church.
Some people think it’s one of God’s Angels, Michael or Gabriel.
Other think it is the Holy Spirit.
That is who I think it is. The Holy Spirit. We will still be here. The Holy Spirit will still be in us.
However, the Holy Spirit will not be free for all to fellowship with.
That’s what I think it means when it says, The night is coming when no man can work.
That is what I think it means when the 5 virgins cannot buy oil. It will be too late. The door will be shut.
That’s what I think it means when it talks about the famine of the Word of God in Amos 8:

Behold, the days come, saith the Lord God, that I will send a famine in the land,
not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the Lord:
And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east,
they shall run to and fro to seek the word of the Lord, and shall not find it.
In that day shall the fair virgins and young men faint for thirst. verses 11-13

The Old Testament always had the Holy Spirit present, but it was not freely given to everyone.
So, it will be when He is taken out of the way,
then, the Holy Spirit will only be available to those who are close to God and who follow Him,
who know His word and who speak the truth.

Could there be other theories? Of course.
This is just mine from what I have gathered from studying and considering the restrainer for many years.
