Rev 13
2 beasts one follow by another. It caused the whole world to follow. The difference between right and wrong was blurred. Everyone was has to be marked with the number of man, simple a means to survive.
Who can stand - really one one. Who will stand in righteousness - hardly. All will fall, unless v8 all whose names have not been written in the Lamb’s book of life, the Lamb who was slain from the creation of the world.
Unless God intervene, else the world will be lost. The material things we gain will pass away. The world was subjected to such a temptations that gaining more materials wealth become a way of surviving in this world.
Nothing against prosperity, but why gain the world when you lose your soul.
In perspective, see the eternal. Rev show how the world will end.
Yet in my carnal nature, like the psalmist who wrote 73, I saw the rich and powerful, they are proud, in good health.. my heart envy. I have at times failed to see the blessings I have in the Lord. My eyes are blinded by the world. Who can stand in the presence of the beasts, whose wealth and riches and power and status, who can resist.
Lord, let my heart be content. I have you, you have given me everything I need and have command me that all that was given, multiply them and subdue them. Let me be rooted in this fact. You have already given me what I need. Now play and obey the rules - multiply them and not crave for the forbidden fruit and want more that is pleasing to the eyes and a desire to gain more.
Le me then soar, let then my heart be content in you for in you I have eternity. For out of you, I return to dust.
