THE MARK OF THE BEAST
— Revelation 13:17
Notice how every country uses money with their leaders on it?
The Bible says that the devil offered the kingdoms (plural) to Jesus if he worshipped him. Jesus refused and didn’t debate the fact it’s the devil’s to give. He just said to serve God and ONLY God.
It also says satan is the god of the air — which means he lives in spirit, able to possess who he wants. That’s how he lives forever.
And it says there are many anti-christs because there are many rulers. All are the devil incarnate.
The devil’s kingdom is government. Who else runs this world with the power to kill anyone, anywhere, any time? Only government.
Pontius Pilate was a governor and he ordered the crucifixion of Jesus Christ.
