| went into the big boat. Then the flood came and | | | | can answer this for me? In the scripture it says, |
| drowned everyone on earth. 28 When Lot lived, | | | | (KJV) Revelation 13:7 And it was given unto him |
| people were also eating and drinking. They were | | | | to make war with the saints, and to overcome |
| buying, selling, planting, and building. 29 But on the | | | | them: and power was given him over all kindreds, |

| down from the sky and killed everyone. 30 The | | | | the earth shall worship him, whose names are not |

| one in a field should go back to the house for | | | | captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with |
| anything. 32 Remember what happened to Lot's | | | | the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is |
| wife. 33 People who try to save their lives will | | | | the patience and the faith of the saints.Who are |
| lose them, and those who lose their lives will save | | | | the 'Saints' that the 'Beast' has been given power |
| them. 34 On that night two people will be sleeping | | | | to "Overcome' and to 'Make war' with? If the |
| in the same bed, but only one will be taken. The | | | | church was already 'Ruptured' or removed - prior |
| other will be left. 35 36 Two women will be | | | | to the beginning of the Great Tribulation - then |
| together grinding wheat, but only one will be | | | | there wouldn't be any saints here, would there |
| taken. The other will be left. 37 Then Jesus' | | | | be?You've heard of 'The Mark Of The Beast, |

| Even if you have to suffer for doing good things, | | | | Matthew 10:22 "And you will be hated by all for |
