MARK OF THE BEAST?

In the Old Testament what you think is like a mark in your forehead, which is pretty straightforward symbolism, and what you do is like a mark on your right hand, which is more obvious symbolism, since the vast majority are right handed.

Since the book of Revelation is full of symbolism from the Old Testament, the mark of the beast is extremely likely to be the act of worshipping the beast, which is the mark on the forehead, and physically bowing down to worship the beast or the image of the beast, will be the mark on the right hand.

No one will be allowed to buy or sell unless they bow and worship the image of the beast set up in all places of commerce, and/or all money will be digital, and to get the ID card that lets you buy or sell won’t be issued until you bow down to that image of the beast when you apply for the card, and those who won’t bow down to the beast or his image will be executed.

I have posted elsewhere on this site, that the New Testament was not written in Greek, but Aramaic, the native language of the Disciples. I won't belabor the point now, but suffice it to say that the Aramaic into English reads as such:

The New Testament was written in a form of Koine Greek,[1][2] which was the common language of the Eastern Mediterranean[3][4][5][6] from the conquests of Alexander the Great (335–323 BC) until the evolution of Byzantine Greek(c. 600).

The New Testament gospels and epistles were only part of a Hellenist Jewish culture in the Roman Empire, where Alexandria had a larger Jewish population than Jerusalem, and Greek was spoken by more Jews than Hebrew.[7] Other Hellenistic Jewish writings include those of Jason of Cyrene, Josephus, Philo, Demetrius the chronographer, Eupolemus, Pseudo-Eupolemus, Artapanus of Alexandria, Cleodemus Malchus, Aristeas, Pseudo-Hecataeus, Thallus, and Justus of Tiberias, Pseudo-Philo, many Old Testament Pseudepigrapha and the Septuagint translation of the Hebrew Bible itself.

Revelation 14:6-11 is a good picture of events, verses 6 shows the gospel is ready and verse 7 shows the two witnesses taking their stand,that will bring the plagues of Revelation 16, they have power over the (Fountains Of Waters) to turn them to blood

The two witnesses testify for the first half of the tribulation, and no human is able to kill them - only after the antichrist is assassinated by being shot in the head and comes back to life possessed by Satan (after Satan is cast down to the earth, and has great fury, knowing his time is short) are they killed by the power of Satan, and the great tribulation begins.

Unless it's something different, right?

I mean, what happens when we warn everyone about the coming "temporary RFID tattoo", and then the world ceasar announces that he needs everyone to show their support by receiving this small but permanent dye mark, nothing more than that!

"I guess it's OK, it's not RFID!"

I doubt they will inject any RFID chips in the forehead, which lets that out as the MOB in my opinion.

Much love!

i do believe that he used to be an angel until he was fallen that's why he is a fallen angel

oh i see no wonder you don't believe he is a fallen angel

i remembered that i know but forgotten it is somewhere in the bible that he is an angel but know what's more you know more than i do you have lived more than i do so maybe you are right but i am not convinced ;)

If someone says Satan is not an angel he is lying or even speaking through the father of the lie.

It is written in 2 Corinthians 11:v.14 - 14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.

verses 13-15
13 For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.

14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.

15 Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers (MINISTERS OF DEVIL) also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.

In fact Satan is a former Cherub, a former ruler of the Garden of Eden - Ezekiel 28:v.13-15.
And Revelation 12:v.9 in crystal clear says: 9 And the great (red) Dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

Again: If someone says Satan is not an angel he is lying or even speaking through the father of the lie.

But now, from now on, the Dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, will be bound and cast into the bottomless pit, that he should deceive the nations no more by a period of thousand years.

Show me.

Much love!
Scripture is very clear, the world will be "Deceived" Into Taking The Mark And Image Worship

"He Deceived Them" Its That Simple


Revelation 19:20KJV
20 And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.

The causal relationship isn't given here.

People received the mark of the beast, and they worshiped it's image. These people are deceived by the miracles that will be worked. Does that mean they receive the mark thinking it is something other what it will be?

For myself I like to pay attention to what is said, and what is not said.

And in fact, the Revelation tells us angels will be flying in the sky announcing the truth.

Much love!

The antichrist is shot in the head, will it be a 22/38/45 caliber bullet?

It's what I do.

Do you recognize the reality of what I said? There is no presentation of a causal relationship. So we can assume one, but that's what we are doing, assuming. And, in fact, clear warning will be given.

Have you noticed in the Revelation how people are cursing God, angry at God, it's not like they don't know He's there, that He's the One sending these judgments.

Are you so certain this mark won't be given as an act of defiance against God? Presented as actually MORE than some new form of credit card?

Yes, he deceived them. But what is not said is that he deceived them into taking the mark, as if it were something else.

Much love!

The initial argument was the mark isnt forced under the pain of death as you claimed, it will be received willfully through deception

Quote Mark's, Post # 41

I don't think there will be any mistaking the mark of the beast. It will be given in conjunction with image worship upon pain of death

Jesus Is The Lord

Yeah . . . I was looking at that too! Turns out, I'm guilty myself of the very same thing.

So, consider me corrected, "on pain of death" isn't in the text. I have to remember that! Worshiping the image is required upon pain of death, but the same is not said for the mark.

I think that comes from how I imagine this to transpire. That people will be brought to the image of the beast to worship it, and those who do are marked and released, and those who don't are killed. But that's just how I picture this, and may not reflect the reality.

And the reality is, it doesn't say the mark is upon pain of death, only the image worship.

This is why discussion is so good!

Much love!

He dies by a head wound - perhaps he cuts himself shaving.

How has every political or social leader who died from a head wound died?

Kennedy, Lincoln, Martin Luther King, etc.

They know it’s take the mark or get their head cut off - well, I have heard the guillotine death is painless - nevertheless it is take the mark or die.

Rev 20:4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.

Besides per an earlier post, the mark IS worshipping the beast and bowing down to him or his image.

What's that ? How can both you "Curtis" and "Truth" use the Word of GOD - the Word is GOD - to discuss in ridiculous manner
with false interpretations of Scriptures as above showed? Why to discuss things like that by the Word of GOD? You should love GOD with all your heart, no?

What is written in the Word of GOD? Revelation 13:v.3
3 And I saw one of his (7) heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the WORLD wondered after the Beast. -> Beast of sea , a religious and satanic MONSTER with 7 heads, and 10 horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the NAME of blasphemy.

How the one of his 7 heads was mortally wounded? The Word of GOD answers for us: (why to invent?)

Revelation 13:v.13-14
He (the MAN Beast of the earth like lamb who has two horns - a false lamb, a false messiah, an esoteric, and kabbalistic, and spiritist messiah from the tribe of Dan) doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven (spiritist) on the earth in the sight of men,
14 And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth
(earth here is Israel, not the Planet) by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the Beast (in the sight of the Beast of sea); saying to them that dwell on the earth (dwell in Israel), that they should make an image to the Beast (to the Beast of sea to whom he had given his POWER, and his THRONE, AND GREAT AUTHORITY) which had the wound by a Sword, and did live.

Therefore, how could you suggest and write here in this Christian site that a wound by "a 22/38/45 caliber bullet" as said "Truth???", as it happened with "Kennedy, Lincoln, Martin Luther King, etc." as said Curtis?

JESUS said:
36 But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of Judgment.
37 For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.

Be careful or get ready

How the AC dies is actually irrelevant to the point made that he will die and be raised to life, possessed by Satan, kills the two witnesses, and the great tribulation and the mark starts.

Gun or sword, he is killed by a wound to the head.
