History Repeats Itself

Recognizing the signs of the perilous times to come in the ‘Last Days’ as it is written in 2nd Timothy 3:1, 13, This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse deceiving and being deceived.

The Inspired Word

The prophets of the Bible were inspired to write as it is written in 2nd Timothy 13:16, All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness.

Knowing the Signs of the Times

The Christian is to recognize their time in history as it is written in Matthew 21:36, Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.

Sound Doctrine

The believer is told to follow sound doctrine in all matters as it is written in 2nd John 1:10, If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed. For he that biddeth him God speed is a partaker of his evil.

In Annette K Mazzone’s book, Lily Among Thorns, a story of faith opposing the Mark of the Beast, the author writes about a character who finds herself in a world at the rise of the “ Global Beast System” enveloping the world with the lies of the Antichrist. Here is how to recognize the antichrist system as it is written in 1st John 4:3, And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist wherefore ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.

History Repeats Itself

The character Lily often finds herself trying to reconcile the burdensome memories of the past conflicting with the “Perilous Times” of the present. History inevitably manages to repeat itself, and the character Lily concludes as it is written in Ecclesiastes 1:9, The thing that hath been, as it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done and there is no new thing under the sun.

In the book Lily Among Thorns; A breathtaking tale of the “Last Days” before the second coming of the Lord Jesus Christ. The story doesn’t veer far from what is occurring in reality.

Mark of the Beast

In conclusion, one such as the character Lily, remains faithful to her belief in the doctrine of Christ under the constant threat via invasive technology, which eventually will all lead to what the Bible refers to as the ‘Mark of the Beast! If you’re interested in reading this one-of-a-kind take on the days leading up to the Lord Jesus’s second coming, grab a copy of Annette’s Lily Among Thorns.

Take Heed Not to be Caught Unawares

Scripture tells us to not be caught up in the world and to be caught unawares as it is written in Luke 21:34, And take heed to yourselves, lest anytime your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares.

Compared to Other Times in History

The Bible also teaches as compared to the tribulations of the past. The ‘End of Days’ in world history is unparalleled in its treachery as it is written in Matthew 24:21, for then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.

Seek the Wisdom of Scripture

The character Lily in the book titled, Lily Among Thorns, is certain in mind of the validity of the Bible Prophecy, and imminent coming of the Kingdom of God. Which being the case nothing can be more urgent living in the “Last Days’ than to seek out the Godly wisdom of the Scriptures as it is written in Proverbs 8:17, I love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall find me.
