The beast is what most of the children of Israel aways wanted.
1 Samuel 8:7
And the LORD told him: “Listen to all that the people are saying to you; it is not you they have rejected, but
they have rejected me as their king.
After rejecting Christ as king of Israel they were punished for nearly 2000 years Then the nations wanted them to have their own land and they made for themselves a king and made for him a symbol of a star.Today they worship their government and his kingdom and his star just as it is written .
Amos 5
You have lifted up the shrine of
your king,
the pedestal of your idols,
the star of your god[
b]—
which you made for yourselves.
27 Therefore I will send you into exile beyond Damascus,”
says the Lord, whose name is God Almighty.
Now according to Amos 5 ,this takes place on the day of the Lord.That is when Christ comes and Christ spoke of them being cast out of the kingdom when Abraham,Issac and Jacob inherit the land promised to them.Now this king they have made for themselves is what they lift up which means to worship.
Now not all Israelis worship the beast they have chosen after rejecting God.A few of them choose Christ to follow but they will soon be imprisoned and murdered for testifying of Jesus in Israel.
These Israelis mentioned here in revelation 20:6 do not worship the beast or it's image,nor do they receive its mark.
revelation 20:6
Blessed and holy
is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years
These Israelis in revelation 20:6 are God's chosen people Israel,having been redeemed from.the earth.They shall be a kingdom.of priests and a holy nation as God had promised Jacobs descendents.
Exodus 19
5 Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people: for all the earth is mine:
6 And ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests, and an holy nation. These are the words which thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel.
These Israels who do not worship the Israeli goverment in Amos 5,nor recieve his mark and are murdered for their testimony of Jesus.They are resurected and shall reign in the Lord's land as it is written .
Isaiah 14:2
Nations will take them and bring them to their own place. And Israel will take possession of the nations and make them male and female servants in the LORD’s land. They will make captives of their captors and rule over their oppressors.
And although there is much information given in scripture as to the location of the beast and things it has already done in recent past ,the main thing is to remember ,Jesus is never wrong.
Jerusalem is responsible for all the righteous blood shed upon earth.Nothing or no one can change that fact.All those saints that are persecuted in revelation 20:4 die because of Jerusalem.Home of the Israeli government.See below.
Mathew 23
34 Wherefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: and some of them ye shall kill and crucify; and some of them shall ye scourge in your synagogues, and persecute them from city to city:
35 That upon you may come
all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar.
36 Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come upon this generation.
37 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!
38 Behold, your house is left unto you desolate.
39 For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.
If your interested,tomorrow I can show you where the Jews come into the pleasant land,defeated three kings as it did in 1967 and will attempt to change laws as the Israeli government was doing before the war started.I expect they will resume changing laws after the war is over.
