One-Year Bible Notes and Daily Bible Reading
December 22
The antichrist will be the most powerful and evil ruler that the world has ever known. He will be responsible for great acts of cruelty, especially towards God’s people (Daniel 11:31-35; Mark 13:9-20). He will force some of them to leave their homes (Hebrews 11:37-38); he will murder many of them. They will suffer much. However, he can only hurt and kill their bodies; he will have no power over their spirits (Matthew 10:28). During their lives, God will help them (12:14-16). When they die, they will go to be with God in heaven. So, even in this terrible situation, God will be looking after his people.
God knows the people who truly belong to him (John 10:14). Even before he created the world, he chose them to be his children (Ephesians 1:4). He wrote their names in his book (Daniel 12:1). That book is a register of the names of all the people who will be citizens of the New Jerusalem (Hebrews 12:23).
God made that possible by the death of Christ, here called the Lamb. Like the lambs (young sheep) that people offered to God in the temple (God’s house), Christ died for the sins (evil deeds) of other people (John 1:29; Isaiah 53:4-7). He died so that God could forgive his people. As God’s people, they are now under God’s protection (Psalm 91). Their bodies will be in great danger, but their spirits are safe.
God is looking after his people, so his people must show endurance and faith. People sometimes translate endurance as patience but it means more than just to wait. Someone with endurance stands firm during his troubles, so that those troubles cannot disturb his relationship with God. Faith means that a person trusts God loyally during his troubles (Hebrews 10:35-39). That is how God’s people will live during their greatest troubles (Habakkuk 2:4).
and all who dwell on earth will worship it, everyone whose name has not been written before the foundation of the world in the book of life of the Lamb who was slain. If anyone has an ear, let him hear: If anyone is to be taken captive, to captivity he goes; if anyone is to be slain with the sword, with the sword must he be slain. Here is a call for the endurance and faith of the saints.

You Need to Know the Bible for Yourself
Everybody needs to know what the Bible really says: what it says about God, Jesus, the Holy Spirit, salvation and eternity, etc. Don’t depend on what a church or some famous preacher tells you. If you depend on Hollywood, the History Channel, or a magazine for the most important information you will ever need to know. You may end up lost forever not knowing what God has written down for you. He wants you to spend eternity with Him.
You need to know Jesus before you can be saved. The bible is all about who Jesus is and what He has done for you. He has a gift for you and it is completely free. But if you don’t know Him, you will not be in the Kingdom of God with Jesus who gave His very life for you.
“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter. “Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?’ “And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; DEPART FROM ME, YOU WHO PRACTICE LAWLESSNESS.’ ~ Matthew 7:21-23
There is an absurd amount of very bad information out in the world today about the Bible. You will only know the truth if you study the bible for yourself. And if you study the bible and ask The Holy Spirit to open your eyes to the truth He will and it will change your life forever.
