December 1, 2013 – Revelations 13 – 14

What if the beast are not people (like Nero or Hitler) but ideas.  I was reading about the first beast and one of his heads being mortally wounded but healing.  It made me think of the idea of Communism.  The world was brought into a very dark place because of the idea of Communism and its rise, but many think that it died with the USSR and the Berlin Wall.  The beast had seven heads, and we still have China, North Korea, Cuba, etc.  Russia is becoming a power again.  Communist/Socialist ideologies are engulfing the West and the US is growing more Socialist every day.  “Fascinated, the world followed the beast”.  Doesn’t it seem the world is wanting to see how much “good” government can do for us.  All of our problems can be solved by the government.  We don’t need to think, act, do anything on our own, the government will provide.  It is a lazy world that is fascinated with someone else taking care of me, but our world is growing lazier.

Think of the idea of only those marked with a sign being able to do business.  Bring that to the present and any business that doesn’t want to give insurance covering abortions is punished out of business.  Won’t adopt to gay couples, won’t higher lesbians, won’t give artificial contraception, then you can do business, the government won’t let you.
