9 Then another angel, a third, followed them, saying with a mighty voice, Whoever pays homage to the beast and his statue and permits the [beast's] stamp (mark, inscription) to be put on his forehead or on his hand,
10 He too shall [have to] drink of the wine of God's indignation and wrath, poured undiluted into the cup of His anger; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb.
11 And the smoke of their torment ascends forever and ever; and they have no respite (no pause, no intermission, no rest, no peace) day or night--these who pay homage to the beast and to his image and whoever receives the stamp of his name upon him.
The testimony of Jesus must be something to behold during these last days. All of the inhabitants of the earth are hearing the Truth and it is being preached with power and demonstration of the Holy Spirit. It has to be, for our Father to be so forceful as to offer no chance for redemption for those people who take the mark of the beast. The preaching has to be miraculous through the 144,000, and the numbers who could not be numbered, and the two witnesses. The Gospel will be incredibly plain and simple to understand. So plain and powerful that a person has no choice but to accept or deny Jesus as Lord. I believe that the preaching during this time will be greater then in any other time in earths history. Jesus said that the works that He did, so shall we, and even greater ones, John 14:12, and here is a time when I believe will be the greatest preaching of all time. The Holy Spirit will cause it to be powerful, plain, and clear!
In our next post we will study about Hell.
