Revelation 13:11-18
11 Then I saw another beast that rose out of the earth; it had two horns like a lamb, and it spoke like a dragon. 12 It exercises all the authority of the first beast on its behalf, and it makes the earth and its inhabitants worship the first beast, whose fatal wound[a] had been healed. 13 It performs great signs, even making fire come down from heaven to earth in the sight of all, 14 and by the signs that it is allowed to perform on behalf of the beast it deceives the inhabitants of earth, telling them to make an image for the beast that had been wounded by the sword[b] and yet lived,
15 and it was allowed to give breath[c] to the image of the beast so that the image of the beast could even speak and cause those who would not worship the image of the beast to be killed. 16 Also, it causes all, both small and great, both rich and poor, both free and slave, to be given a brand on the right hand or the forehead, 17 so that no one can buy or sell who does not have the brand, that is, the name of the beast or the number for its name. 18 This calls for wisdom: let anyone with understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number for a person. Its number is six hundred sixty-six.[d]
Open Heaven For Teens – 11th August 2025 MESSAGE
You might have heard or read about the Ymark of the beast before now, but do you really know what it is? The mark of the beast can take different forms: it can be a mark, a name, or the number of a name (Revelation 13:17). Whichever one it is, it is a representation of the beast, and whoever receives it on his or her forehead or right hand will be identified as a worshipper of the beast. Only such people will be allowed to buy, sell, or be a part of society after the rapture has taken place. Anyone who refuses to receive the mark of the beast will be hunted and killed.
In the days of Apostle John, there was no technology, so he could only describe everything that he saw in his vision with the things he had seen around him. A mark that is taken on someone’s forehead or right hand must have been imprinted by a machine, and the imprint must be something that cannot be cleaned or washed off. Since this mark is so important to people’s identity and life, it will not be a mark that can fade or be erased. This means that it will be deep in the skin.
My dear child, I want to urge you today to surrender your life to Jesus Christ if you are yet to do so. Please do not let His sacrifice on the cross of Calvary go to waste over your life. If you have surrendered your life to Him, obey His commandments and flee from sin.
KEY POINT
Surrender your life totally to Jesus and abstain from all forms of sin.

CHRISTIAN, SEEK NOT YET REPOSE
1. Christian, Seek Not Yet Repose;
Hear Thy Guardian Angel Say,
“Thou Art In The Midst Of Foes:
Watch And Pray!”

Mustering Their Unseen Array,
Wait For Thy Unguarded Hours:
“Watch And Pray.”
3. Gird Thy Heavenly Armour On;
Wear It Every Night And Day
Ambush’d Lies The Evil One:
“Watch And Pray.”
4. Hear The Victors Who O’ercame;
Still They Mark Each Warrior’s Way;
All With One Sweet Voice Exclaim,
“Watch And Pray!”
5. Hear, Above All, Hear Thy Lord,
Him Thou Lovest To Obey;
Hide Within Thy Heart His Word:
“Watch And Pra!.”
6. Watch, As If On That Alone
Hung The Issue Of The Day;
Pray, That Help May Be Sent Down:
Watch And Pray.
