Patience and Faith of the Saints

Revelation 13:10

“If any man has an ear, let him hear.
 “If anyone has an ear, let him hear. He who leads into captivity shall go into captivity; he who kills with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.” Revelation 13:9-10

The one leading the global population into captivity is the beast with power over physiology to give people what to feel, do, say, and think. This beast replaces the conscience and spirit while oppressing the presence of the Holy Spirit, to hold captive any opposition to it. This beast, and everyone who serves it, will go into captivity, which is the captivity of the burning lake of fire.

The beast is killing with the “sword”, which is the sword that enters into the private chambers of physiology, and into thoughts and feelings. “It is the sword that slays, the sword that slays the great men, that enters their private chambers.” Ezekiel 21:14 Click here for a post on Ezekiel 21. This is the blasphemous beast that sits within the temple of God, our body “who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.” 2 Thessalonians 2:4 Click here for a post on the “son of perdition”.

The first beast [Revelation 13:2] and second beast [Revelation 13:11-12], also known as the false prophet, will be destroyed by our Lord Jesus Christ, as quoted, “And I saw the beast, the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against Him who sat on the horse and against His army. Then the beast was captured, and with him the false prophet who worked signs in his presence, by which he deceived those who received the mark of the beast and those who worshiped his image. These two were cast alive into the lake of fire burning with brimstone. And the rest were killed with the sword which proceeded from the mouth of Him who sat on the horse. And all the birds were filled with their flesh.” Revelation 19:19-21

Those who serve the beast will be killed by the sword even as they cut off the followers of Jesus Christ to persecute and kill them. Prophetically stated, those who serve the beast “…were killed with the sword which proceeded from the mouth of Him who sat on the horse. And all the birds were filled with their flesh.” Revelation 19:19-21

The patience of we who live for God through Jesus Christ, in the presence of the Holy Spirit, is knowing that judgment and defeat come to the government and culture of the beast. As our Lord Jesus says, “Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake. Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.” Matthew 5:11-12 With Paul we can say, “For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which will be revealed in us. For the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons of God.” Romans 8:18-19

“….to you who do not hold to her teaching and have not learned Satan’s so-called deep secrets,“
‘I will not impose any other burden on you, except to hold on to what you have until I come.’”
“I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your crown.”
Revelation 2:24-25, 3:11
