Hook and Loop (Velcro) fastener

Hook and Loop (Velcro) fastener

Velcro is made of tiny hooks on the rough surface and tiny loops on the smooth surface. That is how they attach to each other and can be used to fasten two things.

Deceptive teachings from false prophets and teachers lure even the very elect into carnal lusts. When Babylon of worldliness stands tall and strong and false teachers preach and offer things that seem to satisfy the lusts of the flesh and eyes and the pride of life, the carnal mind gets attracted to it and then attached to it. If money is the hook, the love of money is the loop that gets hooked to it! Such hooks will increase in the world these end times. Let us beware and make sure our minds and hearts are free of loops!

Do not love the world or the things in the world.

If anyone loves the world, 

the love of the Father is not in him.

For all that is in the world- -the lust of the flesh,
the lust of the eyes,
and the pride of life-
-is not of the Father but is of the world.
And the world is passing away, and the lust of it;
but he who does the will of God abides forever.
1 John 2:15-17

We need to beware of Babylon which is the worldly system. It is the lure the dragon, that is Satan uses to ensnare even the saints into his net! The evil antichrist will emerge as an innocent man over Babylon and cause the world to worship him.

Satan, Babylon and the antichrist stand diametrically opposite to GOD, the Kingdom of GOD and JESUS CHRIST. This is the war that takes place in the spiritual realm. The object of the war is to win as many souls of men and women as possible.

The Kingdom of GOD leads to Heaven. The kingdom of darkness, working through Babylon will lead to hell.

Then I stood on the sand of the sea.

And I saw a beast rising up out of the sea,

having seven heads and ten horns, and on his horns ten crowns,

and on his heads a blasphemous name.

Now the beast which I saw was like a leopard, his feet were like the feet of a bear,

and his mouth like the mouth of a lion.

The dragon gave him his power, his throne, and great authority.

And I saw one of his heads as if it had been mortally wounded,

and his deadly wound was healed.

And all the world marveled and followed the beast.

So they worshiped the dragon who gave authority to the beast;

and they worshiped the beast, saying, "Who is like the beast?

Who is able to make war with him?"

And he was given a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies,

and he was given authority to continue for forty-two months.

Then he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God,

to blaspheme His name, His tabernacle, and those who dwell in heaven.

It was granted to him to make war with the saints and to overcome them.

And authority was given him over every tribe, tongue, and nation.

All who dwell on the earth will worship him,

whose names have not been written in the Book of Life of the Lamb

slain from the foundation of the world.

If anyone has an ear, let him hear.

He who leads into captivity shall go into captivity;

he who kills with the sword must be killed with the sword.

Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.

Then I saw another beast coming up out of the earth,

and he had two horns like a lamb and spoke like a dragon.

And he exercises all the authority of the first beast in his presence,

and causes the earth and those who dwell in it to worship the first beast,

whose deadly wound was healed.

He performs great signs, so that he even makes fire come down from heaven

on the earth in the sight of men.

And he deceives those who dwell on the earth

by those signs which he was granted to do in the sight of the beast,

telling those who dwell on the earth to make an image to the beast

who was wounded by the sword and lived.

He was granted power to give breath to the image of the beast,

that the image of the beast should both speak and cause as many

as would not worship the image of the beast to be killed.

He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave,

to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads,

and that no one may buy or sell

except one who has the mark or the name of the beast,

or the number of his name.

Here is wisdom.

Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast,

for it is the number of a man:

His number is 666.
