Volume 1.1

(From radio broadcast of Bro. Julius Adewumi)

(…Continued from part 1…)

Rev.13:13: “And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, and deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.”

Now the wound was by the sword and it was at the second world war that the European countries were divided into two: east and west Europe, east and west Germany. But they were healed at the end of the world. Now it said this second beast is making the world to worship the beast that was healed. And how is this taking place? For instance, the American continent is the champion for democracy. Let’s begin reading verse 14: “And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast.” The miracles are technological miracles. Look at the internet right now, the miracle of the radio waves, the miracle of the fire coming down from heaven: nuclear weapons started from this North America. Those are the things that deceiveth the world. And when Apostle John was writing this, he couldn’t picture it like we can see it today. He called it “deceiving the world”. They are deceiving the world by making the governments of the world bow down to democracy, and thinking democracy is the way to go. Look at all the third world countries. They say democracy is the way to go because it looks like it works in Europe and it works in America. So they’re making those countries make an image unto the beast. Wanting to be like them: that is what image means. When he asked them to make an image unto the beast it’s more or less saying make your government look like this government, and everybody is making their government look like the parliamentary government of England or democratic government of America. They are making images to the beast. I’m not saying democracy is bad or wrong but just what has been prophesied. You may say well that seems to be the only thing that works, yes, but that is what had been prophesied.

The kingdom of God is going to come which does not follow this pattern of governmental systems, whether democracy, dictatorship or communism. All of those European ideas that every country is made to follow will fail. When God takes over, it’s God ruling upon the earth.

This particular Ch.13 is telling us what governments will be doing at the end of the world. European countries are represented in the first beast. The American countries are represented in the second beast with two horns: USA and Canada. And they are spearheading all of the technological advancements that look like magic to people like Apostle John of 100 AD.

To Apostle John and his generation, all these technologies are miracles. Look at the Internet, telephone, and cell phone right now. You can call from anywhere. Look at the satellite; the space travels. They are all like miracles. And the advancement was mostly from the North American continent and European countries. Now let’s see what more things the bible says they’ll be doing.

Verse 15 says: “And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.”

Now we know that this was written to look like a single person whose image would be talking. But that is actually the development of television. Because just think of apostle John looking at the television screen 2000 years ago. He wouldn’t know what to call it. It would look like the image of somebody but how can they make him to talk—it’s talking, we’re hearing him. So that’s exactly what we’re describing here. So it was this beast, this country, this government of northern America that will develop this system of image talking which is the television system. It started right in Northern America. It said he will make that image to talk, and is making people to worship the image. Their technology, economy and their governmental policies seem to work, and the rest of the world wants to follow – they worship.

Many times we look at these bible verses and think of it as if it is a religious worship where people are bowing down to a statue. It does not have to be a religious worship. God, in the book of Revelation, is actually giving us a prophecy and is telling us that all these things will be like this at the end of the world. God works in simplicity. When the Lord Jesus Christ came to the world, the Jews and the Rabbi’s were expecting the Messiah to come from somewhere in Bethlehem. And they were refusing to accept this man from Galilee because they could not understand the scriptures. The scriptures did not say he had to be raised in Bethlehem—it says he had to come out of Bethlehem. He was born in Bethlehem but that was when he was a baby. He lived and was raised in Nazareth, in Galilee. They couldn’t see it. If somebody told them that this man was born in Bethlehem, they still would not accept it as enough fulfillment of the prophecy. They have their pre-conceived imaginations; perhaps they expected him to be born and raised and have his ministry in Bethlehem. They are not thinking the way God is thinking.

Similarly, we read prophecy and put our own interpretation on it how we expect it to happen and if it does not happen that way we missed it. Many people think that this worship of the beast will be in a form of an idol and everybody will be bowing down to that image, whereas the whole world is already worshipping right now in the democracy, which all governments are trying to copy, to look like the democratic government of the European countries or American countries.

When it says the image will talk, television is already talking—people are tuning in and that is going to continue until the end of the world. This is what has been prophesied. These simple things that have been taking place in our generation, is what is prophesied in the book of Rev. 13. And more will still come because he went further and said anyone that will not worship should be killed. What do you think about that? People always think it means a physical person will be killed. Well, governments can be killed too, when dictators are overthrown.

There also will be persecution at the end of the world as the next verse reveals. “He causeth all both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or on their foreheads. And that no man might buy or sell, save he that has the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.”

Now this part is going to come to the individual. All the things I’ve described has to do with governments of the world. Countries against countries, Now the part of it that will get to the individual is when they begin to mark individual people, and that is already being designed right now in the western world. You cannot buy anything unless you have a credit card. And what’s credit card? It’s just a card that has numbers. You can buy things for credit, and then pay at the end of the month or later. Now the whole world is almost following that same pattern. And what they are now saying is that if everybody has to carry a card, it is not safe. All you need in a card is the number. So they’re now thinking to imprint the number on somebody’s hand—like a tattoo or on somebody’s forehead. This is being planned right now. Instead of carrying a passport in your pocket, which may be lost, they’ll just tattoo the passport number on your forehead or the palm of the hand. This is being planned underground right now as we speak. They have the technology, they have the means of doing it right now, and they are trying to sell it to the government so that the government will begin to tattoo people like animals. If you have no number, you will not be able to get into the country or travel out if you do not have that tattoo. Or the bank wouldn’t be able to take your money. Electronic-Money will go from bank to bank without any currency anymore. That is being planned, and at the end of the world, it’s only going to be the numbering systems. Everyone would have a number written somewhere on their hand or their forehead. God had seen it coming 2000 years before, and has told us about it. They’re already working on this from the news we’re hearing. Some companies have devised this equipment that they can use to imprint numbers on people. They’re already using it to put numbers on animals; on cows, cattle, and goats. So that farmers can know their cows without putting a tag on their neck. It’s just imprinted in the skin for marketing purposes. But right now they are trying to use the same equipment to tattoo human beings and they are talking about it.

The government has not bought into it yet, but the companies that wanted to sell it to the government to use as an identification system are already trying to sell it to the government. This is going on underground. God has seen that they will use it at the end of the world.

But the bible has a word for every believer that anyone that receives the number on his body is going to be lost and will have his place in the lake of fire. You will see this in Revelation chapter 14. This second beast is the one that makes this happen. This second beast, which I pointed to as the North American countries, the lamb that spoke like dragon through his technological advancements, is making all of these things happen and making the whole world to buy it. When they started the Internet, the whole world is on the Internet. When they started the cell phone, the whole world is now buying cell phone.

The same way, they are going to begin to tattoo human beings. That is when they are going too far! Because we are not to be numbered, nor to put numbers upon the skin for anything. God who created mankind said it should not be done. He told the Israelites they should not perform census without proper sin-offering. Census that governments do, God said before they begin to do any census, they must make a sacrifice. When David in the book of Kings made a census and counted all the people of Israel, there was a plague in the land. (2Sam.24). God said no, don’t count them. Let them multiply and fill the earth. The plan of God is not the plan of mankind. Man is trying to control population, but God created the population and he is controlling it himself. So he does not want people to be tampering with that. But when they tamper, it is the devil trying to kill human beings. That is the plan of the devil from the beginning. The bible said the devil was a murderer, a liar from the beginning, and a father of lies. From the beginning he has been a murderer.

In Genesis chapter one, verse 28, “God blessed them and God said unto them be fruitful and multiply. And replenish the earth and subdue it.” A lot of people said that was only then; there was just two of them and now they have to stop multiplying. No! God never withdrew his word. But human beings are trying to control population, they’re trying to say do not have more than one boy and one girl; two children. All of those western, European countries are doing that. They want to have only one boy and one girl and no more. But God said, “be fruitful and multiply”. Don’t let anyone deceive you. The devil has his hands in all of those policies that are going on in the world. Population control: the devil has his hand in it. They are killing their babies in abortion all over European countries and America. Through abortion they are killing their babies. They are killing their babies before they are born for free sex just to keep themselves doing whatever they want to do, not fearing God. But the payday is coming. This beast is spearheading all of these things in the world.

He causeth them to have that mark in their right hand or in their forehead.

It says, “here is wisdom: let him that has understanding count the number of the beast for it is the number of a man; and his number is six hundred threescore and six.”

This number has baffled people for centuries. What does that mean. Six, six, six; what could that mean? And in this generation people have said it symbolizes the computerization. Whatever it means, it will be the numbering system of mankind, where technology will use number to tag people. On the computer, they use number to recognize every person. As long as the number is still put in a paper it’s okay, but when they begin to brand it upon human beings, that is when God says it is enough they have gone too far. The bible is saying anyone that receives that mark will receive the wrath of God. (Rev.14:9-11). And at the end of the world, that is when the persecution of the believers will come.

Those who have known this truth, when they cannot buy or sell, if they are still around on the earth they are to resist it. If they cannot buy or sell unless they get the mark, there will be suffering. But those that endure unto the end shall be saved. The word of God has said it. Those who know the word of God will resist the temptation, they’ll resist the devil; they will resist the mark of the beast.

Many preachers have predicted that there will be a time when the currencies of the world will be canceled. It may not take place in your country where you are listening to me. It may not be as effective in your country but it may be taking effect in the European countries where the population is. It may be taking effect in the American countries. There may be some of the countries of the world that would be so remote that they would not be affected by these things. But God is talking on the worldwide scope. Some may escape these things that will take place. Just by the fact that they are very remote in their villages. They wouldn’t know what we are talking about. But the world war that is going to be the result of all these troubles or the result of all the devil’s activities in the world, when that world war will take place and the nuclear war that will destroy masses will take place, whether you are in your village, the radiation will cover all villages too.

Whether or not you know what is going on in the world politics, when they begin to bomb the whole world, you are not safe either. The only safe place is in the Lord Jesus Christ. There is going to be world war and a nuclear war. They have enough nuclear bombs to destroy everything on this planet earth. God said he will bring all nations against Jerusalem to battle. When that takes place and nuclear bomb is used, you, that is in your remote village, are not safe either. The radiation will cover the whole world. It will be like a plague to cover all the earth.

Apostle Peter mentioned it, that this world has been reserved unto fire against the Day of Judgment and perdition of the ungodly. (2Pet.3: 7). He said the heavens shall melt. The fire he was talking about, and the melting, is actually nuclear blast. Even the sky will melt; all the clouds will seem as if they’re on fire. That is what a nuclear radiation would do. All the waters and water vapor in the sky will begin to burn, and that is what destroys masses. But God said he will stop it before everything is destroyed. God said if the days were not shortened no flesh would be saved. But because of the elect: there will still be the Elect of God on earth. God said he will stop it. Nuclear bomb that is destroying all things will suddenly stop and be non-effective anymore. This is the only hope human beings have on earth, that Christ will stop the radiation before it destroys everything on earth.

This is why I said the only salvation is in Jesus. The only way of escape is in Jesus. So come to Jesus today. Repent and accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior. Let him come into your heart and fill you with the Holy Spirit. Only Jesus can save.

We believe that many Christians shall disappear in rapture before all these things take place to meet the Lord Jesus Christ in the sky. Prepare to be one of them. By prayer, by fasting, by living holy, looking unto Jesus. He said pray that you may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come upon the world, and to stand before the Son of Man. Not just to escape, because some people that died before the time have escaped these things we are describing. But if they died in their sin, they perished and would not stand before the Son of Man.

The Lord Jesus Christ said you should “pray that you may be accounted worthy to escape all these evil things that shall come upon the world, and to stand before the Son of Man”. If you escape by dying, make sure that you are dying in Christ so that you can stand before God and live again on this planet. But if you come to Jesus today, you can be one of them that meet Jesus in the sky before all these things take place.

Ask Jesus to come into your heart. Repent from your sins because it’s the sin of the world that is going to make all these things happen: countries hating countries, man hating man, neighbors hating neighbors, and all these confrontations. Civil war in every country!

Come to Jesus today and let him fill your heart with his love. The kingdom of God is coming to take over the earth where righteousness alone will reign supreme. And only the saints of God will reign. You also can be a Saint. He’s inviting you right now. “Come unto me all ye that labor and are heavy laden; and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart and you shall find rest unto your soul. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” Jesus Christ is calling you. Come to him and let him fill your heart with the Holy Ghost so that you may have a hope of eternal life. Won’t you come today?

I pray that the Lord will touch you and draw you closer to himself. Amen!

God bless you.

I want to thank those that have been sending offering to this ministry. Your investment and mine send the literature to believers and send the word on radio. That is one sure way we can send our money ahead of us to heaven. The Lord said: "Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also." (Mat. 6: 19-21). "For we brought nothing into this world and it is certain we can carry nothing out." (1Tim. 6: 7).
