Near The Finish Line: The PEACE behind the Dept. of Peace (HR 808) NO JESUS ALLOWED!!

Then I saw a beast coming up out of the sea...
And the beast which I saw was like a leopard, and his feet were like those of a bear, and his mouth like the mouth of a lion.
And the dragon gave him his power and his throne and great Authority. Rev 13:1-18

...that is, the one whose coming is in accord with the activity of Satan, with all power and signs and false wonders, and with all the deception of wickedness for those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth so as to be saved. For this reason God will send upon them a deluding influence so that they will believe what is false, in order that they all may be judged who did not believe the truth, but took pleasure in wickedness. 2Thes 2:9-12

When the Beast, (the antichrist) comes, he will not be so easily identified as in the image above. I believe he will be a human being and a peacemaker. He will have answers to all the worlds problems and will captivate the entire world. Rev 13:7-8

What Are the Signs?

Mat 24:3-34
(3) As He (Jesus) was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately, saying, "Tell us, when will these things happen, and what will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?"
(4) And Jesus answered and said to them, "See to it that no one misleads you.
(5) "For many will come in My name, saying, 'I am the Christ,' and will mislead many.
(6) "You will be hearing of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not frightened, for those things must take place, but that is not yet the end.
(7) "For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and in various places there will be famines and earthquakes.
(8) "But all these things are merely the beginning of birth pangs.
(9) "Then they will deliver you to tribulation, and will kill you, and you will be hated by all nations because of My name.
(10) "At that time many will fall away and will betray one another and hate one another.
(11) "Many false prophets will arise and will mislead many.
(12) "Because lawlessness is increased, most people's love will grow cold.
(13) "But the one who endures to the end, he will be saved.
(14) "This gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all the nations, and then the end will come.
(15) "Therefore when you see the ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION which was spoken of through Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place (let the reader understand),
(16) then those who are in Judea must flee to the mountains.
(17) "Whoever is on the housetop must not go down to get the things out that are in his house.
(18) "Whoever is in the field must not turn back to get his cloak.
(19) "But woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days!
(20) "But pray that your flight will not be in the winter, or on a Sabbath.
(21) "For then there will be a great tribulation, such as has not occurred since the beginning of the world until now, nor ever will.
(22) "Unless those days had been cut short, no life would have been saved; but for the sake of the elect those days will be cut short.
(23) "Then if anyone says to you, 'Behold, here is the Christ,' or 'There He is,' do not believe him.
(24) "For false Christs and false prophets will arise and will show great signs and wonders, so as to mislead, if possible, even the elect.
(25) "Behold, I have told you in advance.
(26) "So if they say to you, 'Behold, He is in the wilderness,' do not go out, or, 'Behold, He is in the inner rooms,' do not believe them.
(27) "For just as the lightning comes from the east and flashes even to the west, so will the coming of the Son of Man be.
(28) "Wherever the corpse is, there the vultures will gather.
(29) "But immediately after the tribulation of those days THE SUN WILL BE DARKENED, AND THE MOON WILL NOT GIVE ITS LIGHT, AND THE STARS WILL FALL from the sky, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.
(30) "And then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the SON OF MAN COMING ON THE CLOUDS OF THE SKY with power and great glory.
(31) "And He will send forth His angels with A GREAT TRUMPET and THEY WILL GATHER TOGETHER His elect from the four winds, from one end of the sky to the other.
(32) "Now learn the parable from the fig tree: when its branch has already become tender and puts forth its leaves, you know that summer is near;
(33) so, you too, when you see all these things, recognize that He is near, right at the door.
(34) "Truly I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things take place.

What Must I Do?

We are not good enough to enter Heaven based on our good deeds. If we were, the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ would not have been necessary.

Romans 3:23-24
(23) ...for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,
(24) being justified as a gift by His grace through the redemption which is in Christ Jesus;

Salvation is a Gift from God. He asks that you believe that Jesus is the Son of God and that He came to take away the sins of the world, including yours. You must then confess your sins to him and be honestly sorry for them, meaning you endeavor to stop living a sinful life.

John 3:3
(3) Jesus answered and said to him, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God."

Not a physical rebirth, rather a spiritual birth with Jesus as your Lord. Once you confess your sins to God and accept Jesus Christ as your Savior, you are a new spiritual creature.

2Cor 5:17
(17) Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come.

John 14:2-6
(2) "In My Father's house are many dwelling places; if it were not so, I would have told you; for I go to prepare a place for you.
(3) "If I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself, that where I am, there you may be also.
(4) "And you know the way where I am going."
(5) Thomas *said to Him, "Lord, we do not know where You are going, how do we know the way?"
(6) Jesus *said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me.

There is only one way to get to the God of the Bible. Not through some imperfect human being or some religious group or organization, but only through the Jesus Christ of the Bible.

John 3:16-21
(16) "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.
(17) "For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him.
(18) "He who believes in Him is not judged; he who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
(19) "This is the judgment, that the Light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the Light, for their deeds were evil.
(20) "For everyone who does evil hates the Light, and does not come to the Light for fear that his deeds will be exposed.
(21) "But he who practices the truth comes to the Light, so that his deeds may be manifested as having been wrought in God."

Titus 2:11-14
(11) For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all men,
(12) instructing us to deny ungodliness and worldly desires and to live sensibly, righteously and godly in the present age,
(13) looking for the blessed hope and the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Christ Jesus,
(14) who gave Himself for us to redeem us from every lawless deed, and to purify for Himself a people for His own possession, zealous for good deeds.

Eph 2:1-9
(1) And you were dead in your trespasses and sins,
(2) in which you formerly walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, of the spirit that is now working in the sons of disobedience.
(3) Among them we too all formerly lived in the lusts of our flesh, indulging the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest.
(4) But God, being rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us,
(5) even when we were dead in our transgressions, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved),
(6) and raised us up with Him, and seated us with Him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,
(7) so that in the ages to come He might show the surpassing riches of His grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.
(8) For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God;
(9) not as a result of works, so that no one may boast.
