In these wild times we are in, it is important for us to have a strong knowledge base in the Bible. Furthermore, it is important for us to learn these things for ourselves and not depend on the opinions and dogmas of others.
One tool I have found helpful is e-Sword – the Sword of the LORD with an electronic edge. This tool provides a way to compare translations of verses as well as easily look up words in concordances.
I first learned about this method of study by watching video commentators use it. I won’t cite the specific commentators here because I believe that it would be a distraction from the key point, which is to help you get the most out of your own study of the Bible. If you search YouTube for Bible commentaries, you are certain to eventually find some in which this tool or tools like it are used.
My suggestion is to compare translations closely and to also look up words, even if you think that you know already what they mean. (You may find some surprises!) It also helps to learn Hebrew and Greek at least well enough so that you can recognize verb conjugations and other basic grammatical forms. A very nice tool for learning languages is Duolingo.
What’s up?
I found this article very interesting…please read!
Do you remember the blockbuster hit film The Matrix that was released in 1999? You may not know this, but it has deep spiritual implications concerning the times we are living in and Bible prophecy.
It tells a story of how these “agents” are trying to turn us into machines. We are closer then ever before for this to become a reality when they cause us to receive an implantable microchip in our body during a time when physical money will be no more.
You may have seen on NBC news concerning the implantable RFID microchip that some people are getting put in their hand to make purchases, but did you know this microchip matches perfectly with prophecy in the Bible?
“He (the false prophet who deceives many by his miracles) causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name…
You also may have heard of the legendary number “666” that people have been speculating for possibly thousands of years on what it actually means. This article shares something I haven’t seen before, and I don’t think there could be any better explanation for what it means to calculate 666. This is no hoax. Very fascinating stuff!
…Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is 666″ (Revelation 13:16-18 NKJV).

GOD is sending out His end time warning:
“Then a third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, “If anyone worships the beast and his image, and receives his mark on his forehead or on his hand, he himself shall also drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out full strength into the cup of His indignation. He shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb. And the smoke of their torment ascends forever and ever; and they have no rest day or night, who worship the beast and his image, and whoever receives the mark of his name” (Revelation 14:9-11).
Seek Jesus while He may be found…God bless!
