There are two significant "marks" upon people in the last days. The first, and most important, is the Mark of the Lord - placed invisibly upon the foreheads of the bondservants of the King. The second is the mark of the beast, taken by people who are deceived and follow the beast.

In anticipation of His return, Jesus takes time to share about our part to play before He returns. In this message, we read Matt 25 where Jesus highlights important action and heart posture.

A new teaching emerged in the 19th century, saying that the Holy Spirit doesn't move in power any longer and the church would get raptured away to heaven before Jesus returns. The words of Daniel, Jesus, Paul and others share a different reality. The reality that we are called to be over-comers and light-bringers through the end of the age, as we eagerly await His return.

God has a clock where He helps us remember and celebrate what He has done in the past and prophetically declares what He will do and some timing of when He will do things in the future. Ahead of us in the very near future is the fulfillment of the last part of events at the culmination of the age - the Return of Jesus.

After the creation of the Universe, the Earth and all that is in it, visible or invisible, God has worked within, and for, mankind. His actions to help, deliver, provide and love His people throughout written history are profound, from the beginning to the incarnation of Jesus, followed by His resurrection and then His moving into us by the Holy Spirit.

The supernatural God who created all things and now lives within us, has invited His followers to live like He lived, continuing the kind of works and supernatural activity like He did. But we must believe and have our minds set on the Spirit in order to "walk in the same manner as Jesus walked".

The invisible God is the creator of all of the universe and everything within it. He is infinite yet made of love, holy and just. He is the God of the supernatural who lives inside of us and does the supernatural through us.

Paul continues his helpful instruction to people including family dynamics. He then shifts to identifying how every believer needs to be prepared spiritually by donning God's armor - protecting our spirit man from the enemy and also attacking the spiritual enemies with the gospel and the word of God.
