The trace in Scripture that leads to the worship of the ‘image’ of the beast:
HCSB (Revelation 13:14-15) 14 … telling those who live on the earth to make an image of the beast who had the sword wound yet lived. 15 ….so that the image of the beast could both speak and cause whoever would not worship the image of the beast to be killed.

If only I do not suffer from it!
Many people in the world are apathetic about the problems around them and are far too busy with their work, sport, obligations and pleasures.
They are therefore poorly informed in what time we live, a time foretold in Scripture.
Reading and studying the Scripture is vital for Christians in this time period.
Jesus encouraged his disciples to continue to believe in His word, the truth. God’s word (as well as Jesus word) is written down in the under inspiration written Bible:
NKJV (John 8: 31, 32) 31 Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, “If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. 32 And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”
Jesus thinks it is wise to actually do His words:
NKJV (Matthew 7: 24-27) 24 “Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock: 25 and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock. 26 But everyone who hears these sayings of Mine, and does not do them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand: 27 and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it fell. And great was its fall.”
In this series of articles we want to give a clear insight concerning the idolatry by God’s people and what ultimately involves the worship of the ‘image’ (Rev. 13: 14-15).
A number of subjects are partly described in previous articles, but with new insights about the false prophet in the end times. It contains amazing news!
But it remains good to carefully examine whether the described things are really so.
Everyone is invited to place a ‘comment’ with the intention to give your opinion or to make the articles more complete.
The theme of this writing is; idolatry in the first Christian communities
