I saw your prediction, or estimation of the time called "1335 days " and how it may fall within the years 2008 to 2017. Another aspect to guide us is the speed of knowledge and its dispersement. I saw somewhere that by 2020, knowledge will be doubling every 70 months ! Read Genesis 10 and 11, this fullfillment of the speed of knowledge is what God feared about mankind. It must be stopped before it reaches a point God mentions in Genesis.

Also, the Mark is nothing like what has been taught in any Church. The Mark has actual physical manifestations. Christains are waking up to this fact. Sorcerers understand the Mark better than Christans. Sorcerers are using it to bring about the fullfillment of Revelation 13. Unity of all religions using sorcery. This aspect of the Mark can mimic anything Christain, except it is flawed. It can't overtake a true believer. It is trying to create an atmosphere of hopelessness amoung those who are fighting its chemical properties.

Historical events, like Nazi Germany, can act as a type of "shaddow" for how an ideology can "move" the masses towards destructive means. Fortunately, the world defeated Hitler, but what is done in the "last days" will center on Revelation 13.

Reread 2 Thessalonians chapter 2 and look at what he is saying. Jesus spoke of his body as a temple too, and not a earthly temple. Paul's letters refer to the temple as our bodies, too. The antichrist is a spirit as John tells us in his short letters, this spirit will enter the temple, our bodies, and it will think they have control over all power in the world. The problem for this spirit world is that it can't overtake a person who continues to meditate on and practice Biblical Christianity.

A house divided against itself falls ! We aren't talking about possesion, but rather, a type of temptation as never seen before on earth. A time of great testing for believers. Like Jacob's wrestling with the angel.

This idea is not new. In Babylon, the symbol of a spoon inside a cup stands for "pharmacy". The Babylonians believed they could heal people using chemicals. In one meusem, you can see this symbol with a large snake wrapped around the cup. They worshipped the "devine serpent". Two snakes can be seen as symbols wrapped around a staff and is used as an icon in the medical field. The Babylonians and other ancient cultures believed in the worship of the devine snake. Occultist know about this idea, Christains can buy the book by Alexander Hislop on "Babylon--proven to be the worship of Nimrod". The "devine serpent" is mentioned first in the Garden of Eden.

Right inside Revelation is the greek word for "pharmacy" associated with these concepts of chemicals related to healing. "Revelation" identifies this idea of "pharmacy" being used in conjunction with "influencing world behavior". Recall the phrase, "wound was healed" and how the whole world looked on her healed wound in wonderment ?

Healing with chemicals is the incorporation of the spirit world and its willing human population.
Think, Satan and company are spirits and will accomplish the prophecy of Revelation 13 by influencing the majority of the world's population. It is done using sorcery. Sorcery is found time and again as a problem in the book of Acts and Revelation.

"Mystery Babylon" is called a mystery due to its "stealth-like" nature and even John was confuse when we saw things in his "Revelation vision". Thankfully, in Revelation the angel with John, clarified all the confusion he saw. The mystery began with Nimrod and grew as a power inside Babylon. Their "mystery god" was associated with the color black and was called STUR. The number of STUR's name equals the number 666.

Next, the working of this idea of "pharmacy" is also found in 2 Thessalonians 2 and in another scripture where we find God speaking of sending a delusion with worldwide influence. Nothing will stop the progression of the coming events. The world is speeding towards the fullfillment of Revelation 13. All spiritual powers associated with the symbology of lion, bear, and cheetah are unifying for world domination. Recall, the kings must become drunk with wine (a chemical) and become wealthly from this wine that comes from "mystery city" that sits on 7 hills.

This requires time. Unfortunately, it will also lead to the last persecution. Be prepared, follow the words of Jesus, don't worry about worldly wealth or your life, God cares for the birds and knows the number of hairs on your head.
