Elections Have Consequences, So Do Wars 

(11-12-23)

Matthew 5:10 ¹⁰ Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

True Persecution occurs when two Irreconcilable 

“Value Systems” Collide!  Charles R. Swindoll

Genesis 16:10–12 ¹⁰ The angel added, “I will increase your descendants so much that they will be too numerous to count.” ¹¹ “You shall name him Ishmael… ¹² He will be a wild donkey of a man; his hand will be against everyone and everyone’s hand against him, and he will live in hostility toward all his brothers.” 

THE FUTURE:

Amos 1:6–7 ⁶ This is what the Lord says: “For three sins of Gaza, even for four, I will not relent. Because she took captive whole communities and sold them to (Jordan), ⁷ I will send fire on the walls of Gaza that will consume her fortresses.

Zephaniah 2:4–7 ⁴ Gaza will be abandoned and… left in ruins… ⁵ Woe to you who live by the sea… the word of the Lord is against you… land of the Philistines. He says, “I will destroy you, and none will be left.”… ⁷ That land will belong to the remnant of the people of Judah…

Matthew 24:37 ³⁷ As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man.

Genesis 6:11–13 ¹¹ Now the earth was corrupt in God’s sight and was full of violence… (Hebrew: “Hamas”) ¹³ So God said to Noah, “I am going to put an end to all people, for the earth is filled with violence (“Hamas”) because of them. 

Koran Chapter 9:5 “When the sacred months are over, slay the pagans wherever you find them. Capture, besiege, and ambush them. If they repent, perform prayers and pay the religious tax, set them free. 

Allah is All-forgiving and All-merciful.”

THE TRIBULATION:

Revelation 13:16–17 (ESV) ¹⁶ Also it causes all… to be marked on the right hand or the forehead, ¹⁷ so that no one can buy or sell unless he has the mark, that is, the name of the beast or the number of its name.

- “marked” = (two words) “a symbol” of “a person who does anything

to or for another.”  

- “hand” = originally meant the whole arm.  

Zechariah 11:17 (KJV) ¹⁷ Woe to the idol shepherd that leaveth the flock! The sword shall be upon his arm, and upon his right eye: His arm shall be clean dried up, And his right eye shall be utterly darkened.

IDENTITY PRACTICE:

 Islamic Shahadatan – a declaration of allegiance to Allah and Muhammad worn by millions on their Forehead or right Arm.

Rev. 13:18 ¹⁸ This calls for wisdom. Let the person who has insight calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man. That number is 666.

Rev. 13:15 ¹⁵ …and cause all who refused to worship the image to be killed.

The FOUR HORSEMEN of the APOCALYPSE: 

(Revelation 6)

    - WHITE – Counterfeit Conqueror (w/Bow, but No Arrows) Anti-Christ.

    - RED – Given Power to “Take Peace” from Earth and “Make people 

                 Kill each other”.

    - BLACK – Create Famine

    - GREEN (Pale) – Given Power over ¼ of Earth to Kill by… Sword, 

                Famine, “Pestilence” (Condemned to a Violent Death)
