Then I saw another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spoke as a dragon. He exercises all the authority of the first beast in his presence. And he makes the earth and those who live on it worship the first beast, whose fatal wound was healed. He performs great signs, so that he even makes fire come down out of the sky to the earth in the presence of people. And he deceives those who live on the earth because of the signs which it was given him to perform in the presence of the beast, telling those who live on the earth to make an image to the beast who *had the wound of the sword and has come to life. And it was given to him to give breath to the image of the beast, so that the image of the beast would even speak and cause all who do not worship the image of the beast to be killed. And he causes all, the small and the great, the rich and the poor, and the free and the slaves, to be given a mark on their right hands or on their foreheads, and he decrees that no one will be able to buy or to sell, except the one who has the mark, either the name of the beast or the number of his name.

These are their PLANS, but the imminent completion of them relies on one thing. It relies on God ignoring our current pleas to restore our nation and its freedoms. Do you believe He's ignoring us?

You're absolutely right. But there will come a time when men's hearts depart far from God like in the days of Noah. God hears his children but he also gives mankind over to their hearts. We are eternally secure when we believe by faith, but just as Jesus was persecuted, his followers will be too.
I hope that this is just a wakeup call for us.

I believe it is just a wake up call and i believe we are winning because God is winning and He did not ignore us.
