Everyone except

 

It was granted to him to make war with the saints and to overcome them. And authority was given him over every tribe, tongue, and nation. 8 All who dwell on the earth will worship him, whose names have not been written in the Book of Life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. - Revelation 13:7-8

 

Satan is taking full and total control over all the earth. He will rule over every tribe and tongue and nation and all who dwell on the earth will worship the devil.

 

Except...

 

Except for those whose names are written in the book of life.

 

Right now it can be hard to differentiate between us and the world. We pretty much can act like the world and they can act like us. It’s getting harder and harder though and is already impossible in some parts of the world. The differences are becoming more and more clear as evil grows.

 

But one day it will have to be a clear choice. One day it will be God or Satan. The world will be rushing headlong to serve him, and they all will. There will be no middle ground.

 

Those of us whose names are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life will not worship. Humanly speaking the result will be horrendous. They will be slaughtered for their faith and the world will rejoice.

 

But then it’s all going to change. While we enjoy all the glories of heaven they are going it face eternal suffering.

 

What a tragic day. That’s why we must be about sharing what we have in Christ so they can change the result today.
