The Book of Revelation, Chapter 13:11-18
The False Prophet
In contrast to the first beast of chapter 13, the image of the lamb displays an appearance of meekness and gentleness and also connects him to the Lamb of God. Therefore this man is religious in nature, identified as the "False Prophet.” His job is that of a prophet, to proclaim that the Antichrist should be worshipped. He is able to do signs and wonders by the power of Satan in order to convince men to worship the Antichrist.
Today’s Sermon
The “Begats” of Matthew One
Like reading the phone book-Great cast, weak plot
Christmas is all about grace; Christ came to save sinners, not give prizes to the self-righteous. That’s why it’s the most wonderful time of the year.
TODAY’S WORSHIP
Joy to the World p. 125
Scripture Reading
And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.
