The world echoing the prophetic warnings are expressed in the suspenseful romantic novel Lily Among Thorns. and seen through the unadulterated eyes of the character Lily, a young Christian woman, whose purity of faith is but a biblical reflection of her belief in the Bible. She lives in a future America where the governance is tracking its citizens and sanctioning those who believe in the God of the Bible.

This story Lily Among Thorns shows what can happen in a society when corruption can quickly turn into tyranny. And culminates into the all encompassing  “Mark of the Beast.”

Revelation 13:16-17, And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, 17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Revelation 13:16-17

In Lily Among Thorns, the apostate government force its citizens to use a new Universal ID system to identify the populace.

This is one of the blatant signs of the “Last Days” with which Lily resides.  

A direct assault against the Bible believing Christian is crystal clear “As It Is Written” right out from the pages of the Book of Revelation, illustrating spiritual truths and cautionary warnings to reject the “Mark of the Beast.” And stay true to the HOPE in Jesus Christ.

The hidden dangers of the enemy that “Old Serpent” threaten the faithful individual by quenching their freedom in Christ Jesus and prevent the believer from the their eternal destination in GLORY! Psalms 105:3, Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek the LORD!

The “Beast Cabal” in Lily Among Thorns declares the “Mark of the Beast” system is for “Peace and Safety.” But for those brave Faithful Souls such as Lily & Caleb, Lily’s “One True Love.” Refuse the “Mark,” and become outcasts in a society that has turned against the goodly statutes of the Bible, as it is written in 1st Thessalonians 5:3, For when they say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. 

Revelation a Powerful Testament

The Book of Revelation is the powerful Testament of Jesus Christ as it is written in Revelation 1:1, The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he signified it by his angel unto his servant John. 

The narrative in the Book of Revelation is the pinnacle of a world in the final throes of history in rebellion against its goodly Creator. Isaiah 3o:1, Woe to the rebellious children, saith the LORD, that take counsel, but not of me; and that cover with a covering, but not of my spirit, that they may add sin to sin. 

The Hopeful character Lily, a devoted believer in the Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ was born into this most arduous time in history; And as the Author Annette K Mazzone. I cordially invite you Dear Readers to explore the possibilities of how Lily remains Hopeful in such a time of adversity. 

Within the literary prose of Lily Among Thorns a community of the faithful called to virtue and perseverance in a time of Great Tribulation 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. 

The saints; amongst is the loving couple Lily & Caleb; the faithful must persevere with unwavering faith amongst a world living under the deceptions of the Antichrist. 2nd Timothy 3:13, But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived.

The World Beast System persecutes the Faithful but Lily and the fellow  believers remain true during these odious times. But the Book of Revelation remains a beacon of Hope and the soon coming appearance of the Lord Jesus Christ in the clouds. Psalms 31:23, O love the LORD, all ye his saints: for the LORD perserveth the faithful. and plentifully rewardeth the proud doer.

The world for Lily faces unprecedented challenges, and the Hopeful message of the Book of Revelation remain as relevant as ever.

Persecution on the Rise

Matthew 24: 9, Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted and  shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name’s sake. —Matthew 24:9

In the story Lily Among Thorns hostility toward the Bible Believing Christian is on the rise with each passing day and in a modern world there potentially is no where to hide.

Lily is a Faithful Christian, who is taken from a loving home in the middle of the night and thrown into a prison camp referred to by the  traitorous government a “National Training Rehabilitation Center.” Matthew 25:21, His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things. I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.

Under the guise to help people all must “conform” to the apostate conditioning. The faithful Lily is forced to work under harsh and  hazardous circumstances to the endangerment of her virtue.

In Lily Among Thorns, the Christians will be persecuted such as the loving couple Lily & Caleb; the media is controlled by the immoral Beast government and paints a rosy picture of life’s misfortunes.

The truth becomes questionable at the now state approved Antichrist false churches, where Lily eventually encounters a false teacher in the pulpit of whom “began heaving out political propaganda,” which is a stark contrast to the spiritual truths Lily is accustomed to and expected from her church. 2nd Peter 2:1, But there were false prophets also among the people. even as there shall be false teachers among you who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.

When God is pushed out of churches, it becomes a major warning signal to Lily.

Lily Among Thorns highlights the comradery between the brothers and sisters in Christ Jesus; Christians forced from all that they have known and loved. The Faithful must now look to one another for courage and support, and they become a tight-knit company of believers in the service of sharing their Hope in the Lord. 1st Peter 1:21, Who by him do believe in God, that raised him up from the dead, and gave him glory; that your faith and hope might be in God.

Revelation 5:9, And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof:  for thou was slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people,  and nation. —Revelation 5:9
