YOUR ENEMY IS A BEAST And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations. (Revelation 13:7 KJV) He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints. (Revelation 13:10 KJV) The news gets grimmer. You have not only one enemy but many. Satans fellow fallen angels, often called demons, hate you too. Whats more, Satan has deceived certain human agents and persuaded them also to follow his terrible agenda. Sometimes Satans human agents manage to achieve high government or military power, and they use that power to attack and hurt the believers. The Bible calls satanic governmental or military power a beast coming out of the sea. The beast was given power to make war against the saints and to conquer them. And he was given authority over every tribe, people, language and nation. . . . This calls for patient endurance and faithfulness on the part of the saints (Revelation 13:7,10). Believers have suffered terrible persecutions from the beastly governments that were supposed to protect them. Even today, in these enlightened times, Christians are being harassed, arrested, imprisoned, beaten, and even killed by the beast. Be alert, and dont be surprised. But know this: the beast cannot touch your eternal salvation, and the blood of Christian martyrs only makes our Savior look more wonderful to those who remain.
