IS IT THE END TIMES?

TOMORROW IS 6 JUNE 2006

This morning I was reading a news paper on my way to work and this article triggered this thought of..

The town of Hell,Michigin, is counting on revelers to show up this Tuesday, June 6, 2006, to celebrate the devilish calendar convergence of 6-6-6. According to local news reports, Hell's mayor has loaded up his souvenir shop with 666 merchandise -- t-shirts, coffee mugs -- and stocked only 666 of each item.
There will be a costume competition and live music, and the town also promises to have the Gates of Hell operating over at the playground. While they're hoping for fun-loving crowds, they don't anticipate any more than the usual pecentage of devil worshippers and Satanists...
Hell has endured an eternity of puns and japes at its expense -- at least since 1841, when it was named. Tipster Art Spang recalls: "I proposed marriage to a lady friend -- she replied that it would be a cold day in Hell before she accepted. So,on January 9, 1967 we motored from Ann Arbor to Hell -- and it was cold!" [06/04/2006]

WHAT DOES THE BIBLE SAY?

The time will come when there will be no doubt about who and what the "666" symbol is all about. Why? Because the end-time account of the true church is about choices that every genuine Christian then living will have to make, and the consequences of those choices.

God's people can choose to obey Him and reject the mark of the beast, but then be persecuted by the beast and deceived humans (Revelation 13:7,10,15 and 17:6), or accept the mark of the beast and face the wrath of God that will come upon those who do so (Revelation 16:2). It will be a deliberate, knowing choice, and at that time there will be no doubt what it means.
