Revelation 13
Authorized (King James) Version
{Paraphrased}
The Beheading of Christians
Comes Before the Mark of the Beast
13 And I stood upon the sand of the sea,
and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns,
and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.
2 And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard,
and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion:
and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.
3 And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death;
and his deadly wound was healed:
and all the world wondered after the beast.
4 And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast:
and they worshipped the beast, saying,
Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?
5 And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies;
and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.
6 And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God,
to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.
7 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.
8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him,
whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
9 If any man have an ear, let him hear.
10 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.
11 And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth;
and he had two horns like a lamb {religious authority},
and he spake as a dragon {an atheist or communist}.
12 And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him,
and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast,
whose deadly wound was healed.
13 And he doeth great wonders,
so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,
14 and deceiveth them that dwell on the earth
by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast;
saying to them that dwell on the earth,
that they should make an image to the beast,
which had the wound by a sword, and did live.
15 And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast,
that the image of the beast should both speak,
and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.
16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond,
to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
17 and that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark,
or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
18 Here is wisdom.
Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast:
for it is the number of a man;
and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.
Three Accounts Closed This Week
To me, three financial accounts closed that I had for years tells me that a financial crisis is already happening that's taking us to the mark of the beast. Rev. 13:17 tells us that the mark has to do with finances. Dan. 11:20, 21 says that this second beast that rises from the earth in Rev. 13:11, the False Prophet, the lamb with horns, has a financial office. An estate of taxes. The Lord told me that this is the Mahdi from Islam. The Islam Messiah. the false Jesus. See link below about the Mahdi called "The Coming Deception".
Thus, because there is financial trouble starting this year and the mark of the beast has to do with finances, I sense that this is the rise of the mark of the beast. As I thought about this and read Revelation 13, the Lord showed me that in verses 1 thru 10, the killing of Christians happens under the first beast and comes before the mark of the beast under the second beast in verses 11 thru 18. Christians have been getting killed for centuries by the red dragon of communism and atheism. Thus, this is the rise of the mark of the beast ...

Prophetic Intercession from the Holy Spirit About the Mahdi
You Will Win If You Die
I have prayed for the church across the globe. I will use my prophetic anointing now to ask God to give words a prayer for you overcome the fiery darts of the wicked in this hour of temptation called the rise of the Mahdi.
God says,
"I have prayed for the Mahdi not to hurt you because you are growing to their position with Me. He said, 'No!' and will persecute you 'til you are no more. But I have come to dismantle his products that make you sin until you sin no more. But I will not allow the evil one to make fools of you on your show if you will do this one thing in front of them, call Me your God. That is what the devil hates to hear. If you do, he will walk away and come no more".
"I have told you how to defeat the devil in the Mahdi. It is by proclaiming that I am Lord, and not him. He will kill you if you do, but this is what must happen for My Son to come and kill he and his team forever, that they be no more".
"You will win if you lay your lives down for this is the time of the rise of Mahdi, not the antichrist. The antichrist is dead. About to be resurrected for a time of turmoil in Me and My Son. We will destroy him when we come and resurrect you for life in the hereafter, and he will be no more, not you.
"Now pray this prayer before Me in your heart, mind, and soul, where My love is supposed to be,
"'God, deliver me from this hour. But not what I want, but what You will'.
"This is what My Son prayed in the hour of His death to make it to Me {Lk. 22:42}. So must you pray this short term to make it across the veil torn between two, you and Me, restored forever in heaven's light, called your Home in Me".
"Now say it, son, to come home to Me when I come in the feet of My Son. Honor Me now with your death in front of Me. Your blood will be splattered when he rises to power for one hour, but one moment throughout eternity".
"You belong here with Me and My Son. So, say it now and the devil will go until the hour of his rising to power for but a moment in time. Never to be anymore. Amen. Now pray it, sons and daughters, to make it home to Me".
"I love you more than this earth and sky and home. You are My home, My sons and daughters. Leave Me not for the Mahdi, or you will suffer eternal flame with him in His home, not Ours".
"Selah,
Your good in Me,
Yours truly,
In heaven forever in time throughout to eternity,
Your God Jesus,
Signs this with love,
The love of the Father and the Spirit that is in the Bride of Christ,
Your truly,
God's Son
To death for you to come back to Me in the years of light ahead,
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year,
From Us in heaven
By your side 'til eternity comes".
"You Can't Win ...
If you strike me down
I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine"
The devil will lose the fight with us when he kills us because God said that we will win when we die for Jesus. As Christ won when He died (Heb. 2:14, 15), it is the same for us. God isn't giving me any plans or words for you to win this fight with the devil and stay alive. Victory is in death for us both.
However, the Lord has told me that I will be one of the only ones left alive in 2027 after the coming war ... He has given me a plan to stay alive around Islam and the Mahdi. They will not kill us. But I will ask the Lord when to reveal it to you ...
So, remember that God said that you win when you die, and remember how Obi-Wan let the evil Vader kill him so that he could win the fight ... prefer to die rather than turn from Jesus and rise to a better life more powerful than the devil can possibly imagine (Heb. 11:35) ...
"I Hate This Life Without Jesus"
Hebrews 2:14-15
Authorized (King James) Version
{Paraphrased}
14 Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood,
{Jesus} also himself likewise took part of the same {the word became flesh - Jn. 1};
that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;
15 and deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.
Colossians 2:13-15
Authorized (King James) Version
13 And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh,
{God} hath {resurrected} together with {Jesus}, having forgiven you all {sins};
14 blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us {the Ten Commandments - Rom. 7}, which was contrary to us {and made us sin - {Rom. 7},
and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;
15 and having spoiled principalities and powers {of darkness - Eph. 6:12},
he made a shew of them {publicly on the cross},
triumphing over them in {the crucifixion}.
Revelation 12:7-12
Authorized (King James) Version
7 And there was war in heaven:
Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,
8 and prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.
9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan,
which deceiveth the whole world:
he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
10 And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven,
Now is come salvation, and strength,
and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ:
for the accuser of our brethren {the devil} is cast down,
which accused them before our God day and night.
11 And they overcame {the devil} by the blood of the Lamb {Jesus},
and by the word of their testimony
{you quote scripture to overcome & resist the devil - Mt. 4:1-11/ Jms. 4:7};
and they loved not their lives unto the death.
12 Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them.
Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you,
having great wrath,
because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.
John 16:33
Authorized (King James) Version
33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace.
In the world ye shall have tribulation:
but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.
Romans 16:20
Authorized (King James) Version
20 And the God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly.
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
Amen.
World without end. Amen.
