The Danger of 666 (2 of 3)
Series: The Second Coming

Revelation 13:11-14:3
It was testimony night in the church.
A lady got up and said, ''We are living in a wicked land where sin is on every hand. I have had a terrible fight with the old devil all week.''
Where upon her husband, who was sitting glumly by her side said, ''It's not all my fault either; she's tough to get along with.''
I. The devil is up for a terrible fight.
We know I John 5:18 tells us that the ''evil one cannot touch us''… but that doesn't stop Satan from trying.
Rev. 12:10-12 tells us
10 Then I heard a loud voice in heaven say: ''Now have come the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Christ. For the accuser of our brothers, who accuses them before our God day and night, has been hurled down.
11 They overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony; they did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death.
12 Therefore rejoice, you heavens and you who dwell in them! But woe to the earth and the sea, because the devil has gone down to you! He is filled with fury, because he knows that his time is short.''
The story told here in Revelation, is that when Jesus established His kingdom (the church) Satan was thrown down. Now we overcome the devil by power of the blood and the word of our testimony. And Satan is filled with fury because he knows his time is short.
AND SO Revelation tells us Satan has a plan and Chapter 13 tells us what that plan is:
Satan will work thru two forces (symbolized here as two beasts).
The 1st beast comes up out of the sea: all the power of secular government.
The 2nd beast comes up out of earth and mimics Christianity (lamb) but speaks with the voice of the dragon.
Chapter 13 ends with the ominous threat that this 2nd beast will have the power to ''brand'' everyone with his mark the name of the beast and the number of his name.
