The Soon Coming Judgment Of God Upon America and How To Escape It 475
Are you a keeper of God's laws? The Ten Commandments represent the fundamental
basics of God's law. You can check them out in Exodus 20:3-17; you might be surprised of what
you find. When I say fundamental basics, I am referring to the fact that Jesus gave us an even
higher law. This higher law did not eliminate the Ten Commandments, it was in addition to
them. Jesus stated: “A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have
loved you, that ye also love one another.” (John 13:34) In Mark we read the reply that Jesus gave
a scribe who asks, which is the greatest of the commandments? Jesus replies: “The first of all the
commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord: And thou shalt love the Lord
thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength:
this is the first commandment. And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour
as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.” (Mark 12:29-31) The first half
of Jesus reply covers the first through the fourth commandments; the second half covers
commandments six through ten. It is also clear from Jesus' statement that the commandments
were not done away with.
Since the mark of the beast is a literal mark, it is possible that some Christians will have
this mark forced on them against their will. This is much different than receiving the mark
willingly and will not condemn a person because to be condemned you must also worship the
beast. Revelation 14:9-10 states: “If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his
mark in his forehead, or in his hand, The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which
is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire
and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:” If a person
has the mark forced upon them, they must not use it to their advantage. They must not use it to
buy and sell. They should pray for God to supernaturally remove it and if the Holy Spirit directs
them to remove it, they should remove it as the Holy Spirit directs.
The Power of Information
Statistics show that most murder victims are killed by someone they know. Almost all
murder victims are killed by someone they know or someone they came in contact with. Today
many thousands of people are falling victim to criminals they’ve never known or never come in
contact with; the crime is called identity theft. Criminals are able to engage in this criminal
activity by gaining access to an individual’s personal private information. But contrary to
popular belief, the victim is often preyed upon by someone they knew or trusted. A recent survey
showed that in cases where the victim became aware of the identity of the perpetrator, 67% were
someone they knew or trusted.

Most often the intention of a criminal engaging in identity theft
is unjust enrichment by means of gaining access to someone else’s credit. But identity thieves
can also impersonate their victims, even committing crimes under the identity of the victim.

This revolting crime can even involve the theft of biological material from a victim whereby it is
placed at a crime scene to frame the victim.
On the other hand, it is very difficult for someone to cause you harm if they don’t know
you; if they have never come in contact with you; if they don’t know where you live and if they
know nothing about you. Ultimately, in today’s society we are extremely vulnerable to anyone
who has access to our personal information and who chooses to use it against us. Carelessly
