Whew - lots to cover in Chapter 12 and 13. This is the entire history of the cosmic war of Good vs. Evil and the fall of Satan, as well as his rise to power on Earth. Chapter 13 covers his fate and how the mark of the beast (the number 666) is used to separate those who worship him from those who have a chance to be in Heaven.

God gives mankind so many 2nd chances that it boggles the mind. This mark is the last chance in a way, because anyone who chooses to take this mark are aligning themselves with the devil and will NOT be able to enter Heaven. Those who refuse to take the mark, if they live to tell about it, will still be able to choose Jesus Christ.

Be on the lookout for "signs of the times" and make sure to get right with God!
