Overcoming the World

The second beast in Revelation 13:11, "coming up out of the earth" is a spiritual seed of Cain. The spiritual seed of Cain are tillers of the ground. This speaks of earthly-mindedness.
This earthly-mindedness has produced one of the most evil beasts the world will ever know.

Here is what GOD’s Word says in a prophecy by Isaiah concerning things which will take place soon in the world:

See, The Lord is going to lay waste the earth
and devastate it; He will ruin its face
and scatter its inhabitants —it will be the same
for priest as for people, for master as for servant,
for mistress as for maid, for seller as for buyer,
for borrower as for lender, for debtor as for creditor.
The earth will be completely laid waste
and totally plundered.
The Lord has spoken this Word.

The earth dries up and withers,
the world languishes and withers,
the exalted of the earth languish.
The earth is defiled by its people;
they have disobeyed the laws,
violated the statutes
and broken the everlasting covenant.
Therefore a curse consumes the earth;
its people must bear their guilt.
Therefore earth's inhabitants are burned up,
and very few are left.
The new wine dries up and the vine withers;
all the merrymakers groan.
The gaiety of the tambourines is stilled,
the noise of the revelers has stopped,
the joyful harp is silent.


No longer do they drink wine with a song;
the beer is bitter to its drinkers.
The ruined city lies desolate;
the entrance to every house is barred.
In the streets they cry out for wine;
all joy turns to gloom,
all gaiety is banished from the earth.
The city is left in ruins,
its gate is battered to pieces.
So will it be on the earth
and among the nations,
as when an olive tree is beaten,
or as when gleanings are left after the grape harvest.
Isa 24:1-13 NIV



Terror and pit and snare await you,
O people of the earth.
Whoever flees at the sound of terror
will fall into a pit;
whoever climbs out of the pit
will be caught in a snare.

The floodgates of the heavens are opened,
the foundations of the earth shake.
The earth is broken up,
the earth is split asunder,
the earth is thoroughly shaken.
The earth reels like a drunkard,
it sways like a hut in the wind;
so heavy upon it is the guilt of its rebellion
that it falls — never to rise again.
(vv. 17-20 NIV)


In that day The Lord will punish
the powers in the heavens above
and the kings on the earth below.
They will be herded together
like prisoners bound in a dungeon;
they will be shut up in prison
and be punished after many days.
The moon will be abashed, the sun ashamed;
for The Lord Almighty will reign
on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem,
and before its elders, gloriously.
(vv. 21-23 NIV)


The people who truly in their lifetime served GOD faithfully
On earth, shall be welcomed into His eternal dwellings, and they shall behold His Face and His Name shall be written on their foreheads (Rev. 22:4).
But, all those who take the mark of the beast on their forehead or on their right hand will not and cannot receive The Name Of The LORD on their foreheads and neither will they be sealed with the mark of Christ.

The Name Of The LORD and "the mark of Christ" are only for those who are born of GOD.

…whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith
1 John 5:4 KJV
