"Here is the endurance and the faith of the saints." (Revelation 13:10) yes, Saints are going to be on the earth during the second half of the tribulation and Satan is pulling out all the stops to make war with the Saints. He calls the beast out of the sea, the antichrist. Displaying the nature of Satan to devour mankind.Then he calls the false prophet, a beast out of the earth who performs wonders with the antichrist to win over the inhabitants of the earth. He even places a image of the anti-Christ in the temple the abomination of desolation. He displays Satan’s nature of deception. There is a demand to worship the beast, and to take the mark of the beast. Follow the beast or you will die. This is the negative side of this chapter. Hallelujah there is the endurance of the Saints. They are filled with their faith in Jesus Christ. There are 144,000 witnesses who are following the Lamb where ever he goes. And there are two witnesses for 3 1/2 years that will encourage the Saints to overcome and follow this lamb. We all are put to a choice in our life to overcome and follow the lamb. Every saint before they die Needs to make the choice to overcome. Saints on the earth and last days before the rapture can Choose to overcome and follow the lamb. And there are those saints who will be on earth during the last 3 1/2 years the encouragement to them is to endure, overcome the deception of that age, and follow the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen that God gives us choices throughout our life, before we die, before the rapture, and before the His second coming. Whatever situation we find ourselves in May we overcome that age and follow him. "These are they who follow the Lamb wherever He may go. These were purchased from among men as firstfruits to God and to the Lamb." (Revelation 14:4)
