We can surmise from the foregoing that the kings who are misled will wage war against God believing they are carrying out a righteous work! But because of listening to the demonic source of these "frog"-like expressions, they are misled, and incur God's wrath; having the "mark" of the "wild beast" in themselves, and compelling their subjects to receive this "mark" also. Would it not be the time, when even so-called 'christians' have implemented such unGodly 'changes' in their lives, together with all that are already misled, for them to receive the mark of 666?

THE INSPIRED EXPRESSIONS.
The three unclean inspired expressions come from the mouth of the "dragon", the mouth of the "wild beast" and the mouth of the "false prophet". The source of their inspiration is the "dragon", who is satan to his demons, and who inspires those that yield to their evil influences. The work of the "false prophet" within Christendom has been to stop up the way to the Kingdom of God by deception, so that people are persuaded to take the next step, worshipping the "wild beast" of worldly government in place of the incoming government of God. The last of these "lying signs" is through those who are for "a change", deviating from the "Way" of God's Kingdom by removing the heavenly army of faithful anointed brothers (the "constant feature" of Holy Spirit within sons of God) and standing in authority themselves in their holy place on earth.

Although the foregoing prophesied events through these "frogs" are taking place, they are not expressions and/or authorities from God. Therefore they are "wild", and the people implicated in them are "animalistic", beast-like from the standpoint of God. (Jude V.17-19). Those who are for "a change" away from the known teachings of Christ and his "Way" for life, to the way of "darkness" of the composite "wild beast", listen to many unclean inspired expressions before they actually make "a change". The following quotation is just one of the many plantings of unclean expressions: 'Even when governments engage in practices that are contrary to a Christian's beliefs, he still benefits from these services.' (The Watchtower. October 15th 1972. Pg 640).

Resulting questions addressed to worldly slave messengers of two masters: Could a Job Centre official professing to be a Christian send, or allow others to send, people to fill a job vacancy existing in a company or government department manufacturing weapons of warfare? Or could one professing to be a Christian deliberately deliver mail to and from sectarian leaders or others with spiritual uncleanness? Could one professing to be a Christian support communications of the "wild beast", or work for them on their properties, offices, houses, etc? But while there are numerous unGodly authorities of this world, it should be borne in mind that they are not the "superior authorities placed in their relative positions by God". The "superior authorities" are God's laws for our good, described by the apostle Paul in Romans 13:1-4. (See Eph 6:12). The key words of Jesus' reply were to "Pay back, therefore, Caesar's things to Caesar, but God's things to God." (Matt 22:21). No Christians can benefit from 'practices that are contrary to a Christian's beliefs' as was stated. True Christians pay taxes on account of their consciences as to public servants of God serving this very purpose. (Rom 13:5-7).

EMPLOYMENT.
In the scripture of Matthew 6:24, the "two masters" referred to are God and Riches, not God and employers; and was the directive Jesus Christ gave concerning this period and system of things. In order to serve God and not despise Him, a Christian's secular employment should be for his basic needs and those of his dependants, and should be of good fidelity. Therefore, the time one spends in secular employment should only be for necessary things (Titus 3:14), in order to give wholesouled fruitful service to God. One's secular employment should be of a nature as to allow one to give good fidelity primarily to God, and should not advocate dishonesty or other spiritual uncleanness in others. Although it may be difficult to find appropriate employment, the main objective in one's own work is to live wholesouled to God; according to public conscience as well as one's own.

UNEMPLOYMENT.
Payments are paid to unemployed persons from a central fund of tax and insurance revenues, monies they as contributors have, as a legal right, paid to them for their basic needs while unemployed. It is an arrangement commensurate with the "superior authorities" of God. (Rom 13:1). "But the earth came to the woman's help, and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed up the river that the dragon disgorged from its mouth." (Rev 12:16). This "river" was meant to flood out remaining ones of the "seed" of God and terminate their lives through deprivation, but welfare benefits legally paid to everyone swallowed up satan's distressing "river" over us.

SECULAR WORK.
The definition of the word 'secular' is: '...concerned with the affairs of this world; not sacred.' (Oxford Dictionary). Only the Lord's anointed brothers have the right to refrain from secular work. (1 Cor 9:4-14. 1 Peter 2:9).
