Does The Anti Christ Walk Among Us?

Revelation 13

1. And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.

2. And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.

3. And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.

4. And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?

5. And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.

6. And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.

7. And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.

8. And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.

9. If any man have an ear, let him hear.

10. He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.

11. And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.

12. And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.

13. And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,

14. And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.

15. And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.

16. And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:

17. And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

18. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

Human Cloning Is Right Around The Corner

While a handful of countries have been successful so far in prohibiting efforts to clone human embryos, fertility specialist Panayiotis Zavos says he has cloned 14 embryos and has implanted 11 of them into the wombs of 4 different women……..having no success yet in producing a cloned human being.

It is certainly a sign of our times and some say a definite red flag that we are living in “the last days”. Whether you choose to think we are in the End Times is your decision but it is difficult to argue that we might just be messing with things God never intended. I’m not going to pretend that I know the mind of God and his detailed plans for all of us but the idea of cloning humans certainly raises a lot of questions far beyond simple moralistic values.

Just as troubling is the fact that while some of us struggle with the whole concept, there doesn’t seem to be a shortage of people interested in human cloning.

Despite a lower profile over the past five years, scores of couples are said to have approached Dr Zavos hoping that he will help them to overcome their infertility by using the same cloning technique that was used to create Dolly the sheep in 1996.

He said: ‘I get enquiries every day. To date we have had over 100 enquiries and every enquiry is serious. The criteria is that they have to consider human reproductive cloning as the only option available to them after they have exhausted everything else.’

It is simple to quickly see the abuses that can come from human cloning, particularly for selfish and financial reasons but when the discussion changes to a spiritual nature, some have questioned whether a cloned human would actually be a human being, a spiritual human being possessing a soul. Would it?

Of course we can find “good” things that cloning can do for us but any good pales in comparison to the evil that will flourish. Hitler attempted to create the perfect society through extermination of certain races. Successful cloning can go much farther than that.
