the end is near(er)

 

1. Matthew and Revelation in the Bible match up.

• Nobody saw God coming in a flesh body. God does the unexpected. This is an example of how God can surprise us. This matchup may be a warning that we may not see Satan coming either.
• God used Matthew and John to write these matching texts, unaware that they matched up. God may use all of us throughout eternity to do amazing interrelated things in the ever growing government of his kingdom.
  

God has been directing Satan to collect information from the beginning on how to deceive and control people . Satan deceived Adam and Eve, and has been collecting information that will be used to have the best success with getting people to worship Satan and receive his mark. This process is still active, but now Satan has to work with larger numbers of people.

 Matthew 1:17 So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; and from David until the carrying away into Babylon are fourteen generations; and from the carrying away into Babylon unto Christ are fourteen generations.

Revelation 1:20 The mystery of the seven stars which thou sawest in my right hand, and the seven golden candlesticks. The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches: and the seven candlesticks which thou sawest are the seven churches.
