Therefore, an official agent of the State and/or government(s) of this world, of its polity, its order and policies, is one employed within its process and is called a bureaucrat or civil servant. Bureaucrats carry out man's will, through their governments. They include officials of warfare, industrial economists, foreign affairs, agriculture, food and labour distribution, communications etc. However, they are not the superior authorities of God. (Rom 13:1-8). True servants of God who have come out of this world (1 John 2:15-17), of its will, serve Him by supporting the principles of the Will of God and His incoming Government. It is not without effect that it is written: "It is Jehovah your God you must worship, and it is to Him alone you must render sacred service." (Matt 4:10). Jesus also said: "No one can slave for two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will stick to the one and despise the other. You cannot slave for God and for Riches." (Matt 6:24). This means, that by refusing to support governments of this world you will be without worldly material riches. Those who help to prolong the kingdoms of this world (their riches) are their friends and are enemies of God. (James 4:4). But to sons of God it is written: "My son, fear Jehovah and the king. With those who are for a change (away from their allegiance to God and Jesus the king), do not intermeddle. For their disaster will arise so suddenly, that who is aware of the extinction of those who are for a change?" (Prov 24:21,22).

SOME IDENTITIES OF THEIR CHANGES.
As an example of its meaning, does a slave messenger of the written Word of God need "a change"? And if such a change occurs, how would it manifest itself? An example of how such a change would manifest itself is if one were to serve as a slave messenger of a government, of the systems of the people this world, through (say) the distribution of unGodly literature, letters, and other communications. The promotion of such things is in opposition to the incoming government of God (the remaining members of which are in the final stages of their spiritual development). Further, it is one thing for an unGodly person to deliver unGodly literature of the world to other unGodly persons, but it is "a change" when one with a knowledge of God (and the uncleanness of this world) is doing the very same thing; especially so with those having knowledge of the meaning of the "wild beast" today and its admiration. Another example of those who are for "a change" are those working in other government departments, such as social security offices, etc, etc.

Promotion of the "image" of the "wild beast" and its authority is mainly through economic stability brought about by its slaves, among whom are those that have made "a change" away from being true servants of God. Worship of the "image" of the wild beast (in likeness to the beast-like kingdoms of past ages) demonstrates the wild unrestrained will of people with the "mark" today. Such rulerships are opposed to the requirements of the Will of God who created man to function according to His creating. Consequently, we have living proof of hard times, famines, wars, suicides, and a mass of dead people as a result of God not answering them. (Prov 1:27-33). For example: The extermination of over 6,000,000 natural born Jews during World War II would not have taken place if God was "caring for them". (Heb 8:7-9). But: "Everyone that denies the Son (Jesus Christ) does not have the Father either. He that confesses the Son has the Father also." (1 John 2:23. 2 John V.7).

THE "FALSE PROPHET". (Rev 16:13.14. 19:20).
Out of the mouth of the "false prophet", the "dragon" satan, and political members of the "wild beast", are uttered expressions inspired by demons for the purpose of gathering "the kings of the entire inhabited earth, to gather them together to the war of the great day of God the Almighty." It also says that while still alive, the "wild beast" and the "false prophet" are to be hurled into the fiery lake that burns with sulphur. This means everlasting destruction. But we know that at present they still exist. Unclean demonic expressions that look "like frogs" have the following meaning: It is said that polluted water is made clean and drinkable after harmful organisms are removed. Although the frog is unclean as food, their presence in water is often perceived as an indication of relative purity. With this in mind, we can understand why these demonic expressions look like "frogs". These "frog"-like expressions and their motivating work among mankind may appear to be of a virtuous nature on the surface, but are really from an unclean demonic source and intent.
