Genesis 5:5
Altogether, Adam lived a total of 930 years, and then he died.

Lori M. from Waterloo, IA said:
Wow, can you imagine living 930 years? That is at least 10 lifetimes now. I know people had to live longer to populate the earth but just the idea of living that long is unimaginable to me. Then to think about how long eternity is helps me to know where I want to spend it.

Genesis 3:17
To Adam he said, "Because you listened to your wife and ate fruit from the tree about which I commanded you, 'You must not eat from it,'

"Cursed is the ground because of you;
through painful toil you will eat food from it
all the days of your life.

Just imagine what our lives would have been like if Adam and Eve had not disobeyed God. We would have lived in paradise never wanting for anything living in harmony with nature , not working to earn our food or going through labor pains in childbirth. Sin makes life so complicated . When you disobey God you are causing yourself misery and trouble. I would rather live in "paradise" and obey God so my life is less complicated and more joyful. No one can get into the garden anymore which is a shame because I bet it is too beautiful to imagine.

Lori what you say is correct but it didn't fool God. He knew before the creation of the world that these things would happen.God fixed it for us through Jesus.

Genesis 1:1
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
Lori M.
Lori M. from Waterloo, IA said:
I love this very first verse of the bible it is so full of hope and promise.God created everything and paid very close attention to every last detail. Everything He made was made with great care and planning.I don't understand how people can say that earth and space were created by accident, that things just fell together randomly and created all we see. If you look at just one thing like the human body it is a masterpiece of engineering and planning not a happy accident. God is the master, the greatest artist ever ,no one can ever compare to Him and no scientist on earth can make anything out of nothing.

You have said this so beautifully. I especially agree with you about God's attention to every detail. There is nothing happening by accident, but everything by God's divine plan and purpose.

Revelation 17:4
The woman was dressed in purple and scarlet, and was glittering with gold, precious stones and pearls. She held a golden cup in her hand, filled with abominable things and the filth of her adulteries.

Revelations is a very confusing book for me ,I have found a very helpful website that explains it very well , thepropheticyears.com. This is in part what it explained for this chapter of Revelations. I always thought that the one world power was a government now I think it is a religion. The woman has the name “Mystery Babylon”. Mystery Babylon is not the same as the physical place of Babylon in Iraq. Mystery Babylon is the mother of harlots and abominations of the earth. She is a seen as a harlot because she has a relationship with someone other than God. She is the mother of all abominations because she is playing the harlot with Satan who is the prime source of all evil on the earth. The clothing the woman wears and the wealth she displays reflects that she thinks that she is a queen instead of a whore. The priests of formal religions often wear similar colors today. Many of them also use golden cups for the practice of their religious rituals. In her hand is a cup that is full of abominations that comes from her fornication with Satan. Purple was the color of Roman imperialism and scarlet is the main color adopted by Roman Catholicism. The Vatican has been the chief entity that speaks for religion on the earth and that is not just a coincidence. The Vatican is the only religious state and it has embassies in most nations of the world and also has a non-voting seat at the UN as a consultant to this world body. In the end times, she will be the head of the harlot world religion when she and many other religions merge into a one-world religion with its headquarters being at the Vatican in Rome.

Revelation 15:8
And the temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God and from his power, and no one could enter the temple until the seven plagues of the seven angels were completed.
Lori M.
Lori M. from Waterloo, IA said:
The seven golden vials full of the wrath of God are given to the seven great angels by one of the four living Beasts that surround the throne of God.After this is done the temple is filled with smoke from the glory of God and no one is able to enter into the temple until the seven plagues are fulfilled. This is indicating that the judgment is firm and there will be no intercession before God to delay or intercede against these judgments. Since those on earth have rejected God’s mercy (Jesus) the only thing they have left to receive is God's wrath.There will be no more mercy only death.

Revelation 14:11
And the smoke of their torment will rise for ever and ever. There will be no rest day or night for those who worship the beast and its image, or for anyone who receives the mark of its name."
Lori M.
Lori M. from Waterloo, IA said:
Those that fear the Beast more than the God of heaven have a bleak future. The smoke of their torment goes up forever. Their destiny is the Lake of Fire! This is where all people will go who side with the Beast by taking his 666 mark of loyalty and becoming part of his kingdom. Those who by fear or loyalty seek to save their lives in the flesh by making the Beast their God will lose their soul. Do not take that mark,Jesus will help us.

Lloyd S. from Trenton, ON said:
I chose the same verse Lori, but mine would not post, so I'll just post it under yours. Those who choose the mark of the beast will have to suffer eternal torment because they chose to follow Satan rather than Christ who offered them eternal life in His presence. Lord, awaken those who will be tempted with the mark of the beast and give them the revelation of Your wrath if they choose the beast rather than Jesus. Amen

Revelation 13:16
It also forced all people, great and small, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hands or on their foreheads,
Lori M.
Lori M. from Waterloo, IA said:
Without a mark, a person will be unable to engage in routine commerce. Notice here, it does not say you cannot live. It says you cannot buy or sell. DO NOT TAKE THIS MARK; Jesus will help you. Anyone who accepts this mark during the Tribulation has already made his choice, and that choice will permanently disqualify its wearer from heaven. Remember when you get the mark you MUST swear allegiance to the Antichrist as god. It isn't merely economic, it is a worship system. Accepting the mark is tantamount to a rejection of Jesus. This is a permanent, irreversible rejection. Many currently worry that they will accept the mark accidentally, such as the case with national ID cards. This is not so. To accept the mark of the beast, one will knowingly agree to renounce God and to accept this mark. Without the mark, no one will be able to buy or sell and will fear they and/or their family will die. But to accept the mark means eternal death. "If anyone worships the beast and his image, and receives a mark on his forehead or upon his hand, he also will drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is mixed in full strength in the cup of His anger; and he will be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the lamb." (Rev. 14 v.10)

Lori ,very true and well written.

Lloyd S. from Trenton, ON said:
I agree with Don, Lori, you're smack on. The mark is a rejection of Christ and therefore irreversible, condemning that person to the fires of hell. If we remain faithful, God will provide a way of survival. Help us to keep focused on Jesus, Lord.

Bruno V. from Vallejo, CA said:
Excellent explaination Lori. I put your comment together with Rev 3:10 and John 17:5 where it explains we will be "kept" from the tribulation (not taken out), and since we will be still able to live as you stated, maybe it ties together with Rev 12:6. A little symbolic, but maybe this is us being kept safe when people are taking the Mark. (just a thought).....

Revelation 12:17
Then the dragon was enraged at the woman and went off to wage war against the rest of her offspring—those who keep God's commands and hold fast their testimony about Jesus.

Lori M. from Waterloo, IA said:
The devil will do anything to keep you from keeping God's commands. You must be ever alert and guarding your heart. Your greatest weapon against the devil is God's word ,use it well.

Lloyd S. from Trenton, ON said:
Amen to that, Lori. We are seeing the start of that now and I expect it will get worse. God bless.
