URGENT Message Alert!!! If You Attend a Christian Church, As I Do, You MUST Read This!!!

For the past 2 years, I’ve pretty much done nothing but study the End-Times information of the Bible. Through this study, I discovered something that is quite telling, that involves all of us Christians.

Let me say that this article is not intended to dis anyone’s church. Our churches have made us the spiritual people that we are today. We owe a great deal to the teachings and guidance that we have received from our church.

So, what’s the urgent warning? Let me start by first teaching the concept, so that you understand it, before I apply this to our churches.

Briefly, to get you caught up…The end-times starts with a Tribulation Period that will be the last 7 years upon the earth. A new world leader will take the stage, and WE will know him as the Antichrist. (Are you with me so far?)

The Antichrist will team up with the False Prophet and create:

     A One World Government

     A One World Religion

(OK…sit down for this part…)

The false prophet will introduce “The Mark of the Beast.” Here’s the scripture:

Revelation 13:16–18 (KJV)

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.

Verse 7 is the revealing urgent notice that you should know about. Not only for yourself, but regarding your CHURCH as well…which you probably have never considered.

The Antichrist will first be seen as a GREAT Leader, and bring peace to the world. From the outside, he will be adored by many because of all of the good he appears to be doing. Beginning when he arrives being the soonest, and 3.5 years in at the latest, he will introduce and mandate this mark of the beast which will be the only way that people and organizations are able to buy or sell ANYTHING.

In Revelation 13:16–17, the mark of the beast is described as a requirement to “buy or sell.” This implies full participation in the world’s economic and commercial systems will be restricted unless one aligns with the beast’s authority. Now consider what this means for churches.

1. Churches That Depend on the World’s Economy

Most modern churches today are deeply tied into the world’s financial systems:

• They own property, pay utilities, and often hold mortgages.
• They rely on banking systems, tax-exempt status, donation platforms, and financial institutions.
• They often run charitable programs that are integrated with or dependent on government aid or compliance.

If a church refuses the mark of the beast, they will not be allowed to access banking, utilities, and transactions, that church will be shut out economically—unable to:

• Pay bills
• Receive electronic donations
• Keep its doors open
• Own buildings, churches or temples
• Have access to “Rainy Day” funds that they have set aside

2. The Choice: Compromise or Persecution

At that point, a church has a choice:

• Stand faithful to Jesus Christ, refuse the mark, and suffer economic collapse, persecution, and possibly martyrdom.
• Or compromise, take the mark to continue operating, and in doing so, align with the beast.

Sadly, many churches will rationalize taking the mark by claiming:

“We need to stay open so we can keep preaching the gospel.”
“God understands our hearts—we’re just going along outwardly.”

But God is clear:

“If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark… the same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God…” – Revelation 14:9–10 (KJV)

What is the wrath He is speaking of?

The 7 Bowls (Vials) of God’s Wrath – Revelation 16 (KJV):

First Bowl – Grievous sores

Revelation 16:2 – Poured on those who had the mark of the beast and worshiped his image.

Second Bowl – Sea turns to blood

Revelation 16:3 – Every living thing in the sea died.

Third Bowl – Rivers and fountains become blood

Revelation 16:4 – God’s judgment for the blood of saints and prophets.

Fourth Bowl – Scorching sun

Revelation 16:8-9 – People were scorched with fire and still did not repent.

Fifth Bowl – Darkness and pain

Revelation 16:10-11 – Poured on the seat of the beast; his kingdom became full of darkness.

Sixth Bowl – Euphrates River dries up

Revelation 16:12 – Makes way for the kings of the east; demonic spirits gather armies for Armageddon.

Seventh Bowl – Earth-shattering judgment

Revelation 16:17–21 – A voice says “It is done”; massive earthquake, cities fall, islands vanish, and 100-pound hailstones fall from heaven.

3. A Coming False Global Religion

Revelation 13 and 17 also warn of a false religious system—the “harlot”—that rides the beast. This religious system will appear godly but be united with the beast for political and financial power.

This suggests many churches will join a one-world religion under the guise of peace, unity, and survival—and they’ll take the mark to remain relevant and financially functional.

This scripture screams caution to me:

Matthew 24:24 (KJV)

“For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.”

So, how do you think that satan and his angles are going to deceive “the very elect”?

A strategy that pops into my mind would be that he seduces the leaders of churches to follow him, and keep this a secret until just the right time. Then, as their way to fulfill the “deal with the devil” that they have made, these leaders will use their power to persuade their church members to take the mark, and follow the Antichrist.

Something very telling to me has been thinking about why a church would hoard lots of money for the “end times.” Use some common sense here. The only way that this church would be able to access that money would be to take the mark of the beast. If they do not take the mark, all of that money goes to the beast for him to utilize as power and strength. Why would a church, Knowing that this is coming up VERY SOON, give this financial power away to the antichrist? Something’s not right here.

“Ye cannot serve God and mammon.” – Matthew 6:24 (KJV)

I know that most church leaders are very aware of this 7-year Tribulation Period, the Mark of the Beast, and the limitations to buy or sell unless they have this mark. But have you ever wondered, why aren’t they teaching these concepts to their members? Why don’t they preach this until we know every single detail…why are they silent? Perhaps a theory could be that they do not want you that informed of these details so that they can deceive you into joining this one-word church, and take the mark of the beast. Possible? I think so!

God has just warned us that False Prophets will deceive even the very elect. Is He talking about your church? Here’s a simple solution to all of this.

Right now…TODAY…commit to yourself and family that you will not be taking the mark of the beast. That decision needs to be made immediately. Secondly, remember…We follow Jesus Christ! We don’t worship a church leader; we worship the Savior. If you think that your leader is called by God, this same solution applies. Anytime your church leader tells you something that feels a bit “off,” take his message to God and let Him confirm if it is true or not. This is the failsafe method.

My Concern! In my church, from a very small age, we have been taught to follow the leader of the church…NO MATTER WHAT HE SAYS! It’s his word over our own personal revelation with God. Failure to follow this leader is sinful, and a breach of faith. Can you see how easily we have been set up for deception?

So, the solution? Follow God over any man or woman, even if you feel that they are called of God. If you receive a personal revelation from God that goes against what you leader says to do…FOLLOW GOD! Not doing so is betraying your faith in HIM.

So, if the worst-case scenario happens, and your leader has a special meeting discussing the direction of the church to join this one world religion, and taking the mark, God has already told you through the scriptures NOT to do this. You can then know that this person is a false prophet that we have been warned about in the scriptures.

Since there will be NO church in Heaven, as we will only worship Jesus Christ, we need to start, if we haven’t already, being loyal FIRST to Jesus Christ, and then the church. Where is your loyalty? You might think that they are the same, but they are not. And in the very near future, we will see those who have chosen to have loyalty to their church, over being ultimately loyal to Jesus Christ. I pray that you will not be deceived.

I hope that you heed this warning. I promise that you will thank me later…I have a feeling that this will be face to face, in heaven. =)
