End Times
The Right Perspective
1 After these things I looked, and there was a door standing open in heaven! And the first voice I had heard speaking to me like a trumpet said: “Come up here so that I can show you what must happen after these things.” 2 Immediately I was in the Spirit, and a throne was standing in heaven with someone seated on it! 3 And the one seated on it was like jasper and carnelian in appearance, and a rainbow looking like it was made of emerald encircled the throne. Revelation 4:1 – 3

The Truth of the Matter
This calls for wisdom: Let the one who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, because it is the number of a person. Its number is 666. Revelation 13:18
If you, or someone you know, is concerned about possibly taking the mark of the beast, please read on…
