We know that whoever is born of God does not sin; but he who has been born of God keeps himself, and the wicked one does not touch him. We know that we are of God, and the whole world lies under the sway of the wicked one. And we know that the Son of God had come and has given us an understanding, that we may know Him who is true; and we are in Him who is true, in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life. Little children, keep yourselves from idols. – 1 John 5:18-21.
“If anyone worships the beast and his image, and receives his mark on his forehead or on his hand, he himself shall also drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out full strength into the cup of His indignation.

History: About a third of the population of otters died, during the oil spill in Prince William Sound, Alaska, on March 24, 1989. Many of them died from ingesting the oil. Earth Almanac, National Geographic, February 1991, Vol. 179, No. 2.
COMMENTARY
Has anyone else noticed that numerically speaking, the word “a third” is used throughout the entire Holy Bible? Also, Satan’s tail drew a third of the stars from heaven, when he was cast out! Does anyone know the number of, or approximately how many of those angels are considered to be “one-third”? This question is for the mathematical minds!
Jesus Christ said, “…do you think that I cannot now pray to My Father, and He will provide Me with more than twelve legions of angels?” (Matt. 26:53).
Legion – a Roman army division of six thousand men that sometimes included a cavalry unit; name given to the Gadarene demoniac, because of the large number of demons possessing him. (Luke 8:26, 30).
