Are You Concerned About Today's Date?
Lots of people are scared today because they think this day belongs to the devil. Some think something terrible is going to happen today because the date is 6/6/06. In the Bible in Revelation 13 is where the number 666 is spoken of. This passage below is from the revelation God gave to John the apostle about the future and the end of the world as we know it.
Rev 13:11 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.
Rev 13:12 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.
Rev 13:13 And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,
Rev 13:14 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.
Rev 13:15 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.
Rev 13:16 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:
Rev 13:17 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.
Rev 13:18 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.
If you're worried about this stuff and how it all fits together and how it will affect you remember this one fact: if you don't know Jesus it doesn't matter. One way of looking at it is that Satan has already kidnapped the entire human race through Adam & Eve's fall. But Jesus came as the ransom to buy us back. But there is one little caveat: The only ones who get to be redeemed are those who choose Jesus to be their ransom. If they don't choose Jesus, they stay in the grips of Satan for eternity. If you don't have this issue settled, I'd be way more concerned about that than today being 6/6/06.
I'm not trying to scare the hell out of you but maybe scare you out of hell. If God's goodness has not caused you to come to Him, if what Jesus did for you has not caused you to love Him, if you don't know that Jesus gave His life so your sins could be all washed away then maybe telling the truth about your future without Jesus will help you see that hell is not a place where you should consider taking up residence. Billy Joel said he'd "rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints, 'cause sinners have much more fun". I've never met a person who could laugh when their own flesh was on fire.
Rev 20:10 And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night forever and ever
Rev 20:15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
Rev 21:5 And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.
Rev 21:6 And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.
Rev 21:7 He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.
Rev 21:8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
Accept Jesus, pray to Him, ask Him to be your Lord. He'll be your friend and give you eternal life.
Love ya, Hope to see you there(in heaven) when we die.
