Freedom to decide our own future has been something treasured by man for quite a long time. Everybody loves freedom; freedom to worship according to one’s conscience, freedom of association, freedom to even chose our own leadership institutions, freedom to kill and so on.The list is endless. In economics, we are told, the wants of man are endless.First question; IS GOD ALMIGHTY IN FAVOUR OF THE KINDS OF FREEDOMS WE ARE SEEKING? WILL OR IS HE OK WITH THE FACT THAT MAN IS BECOMING MORE SATISFIED WITH THE ART OF CHOOSING HIS OWN LEADERSHIP INSTITUTIONS (INDEPENDENT OF HIM). THE RULE OR MARK OF THE WORLD TODAY IS BECOMING A THREAT TO THE SUPREME POSITION OF THE HEAVENLY FATHER.The quest for freedom from God’s authority started in heaven. Some entities felt God had “no right to claim supremacy over all souls/intelligent-beings” and thus rule them forever. The thoughts of change of government was slowly been nurtured in the minds of the FAMOUS ONES. The line of thought was simple and provocative; “The government of God must be overthrown or he should give way to others to exercise their leadership rights (if any)”. War broke out in heaven and we all know the story – devastating; one-third of the angelic folks believed the seemingly good news and fought for their so-called freedom. God simply will never share his inherent glory with his creation. So and creature with in-built desires to be free of his authority is doom.The fight against God’s ultimate authority did not end in heaven. In the biblical Garden of Eden, we learnt that the serpent directly, told Eve she had the right to be a god, deciding for herself what is wrong and what is right. In other words, God is mean and jealous of her personal development and wanted her to remain ignorance so as to continually dominate her. The idea sounded good (old lies repackaged). Having the ability to decide for ourselves rights from wrong?The same spirit was present at the tower of Babel. Man spoke with one voice. THE FAMOUS MAJORITY DECISION RULES…… For that reason, God had to take some drastic actions because he knew where it was heading. The Earth was created for man and his children. Nevertheless, man was not expected to rule the Earth independently of God. There are three basic ways to eliminated God from our lives. The Israelites did it on their journey out of Egypt and are doing it today again.Throughout the early story of Israel, God was the one setting their laws, picking their leaders and carrying out judgments. At some point in time the Israelites became tired of God involvement in their lives and shut him out completely. They wanted to be gods. They wanted to do things themselves. They wanted three pillars;• Ability to fix their own Kings (EXECUTIVE)• Ability to set their own laws (LEGISLATIVE)• Ability to judge themselves (JUDICIARY)Democracy (Greek, demos, “the people”; kratein, “to rule”), political system in which the people of a country rule through any form of government they choose to establish. In modern democracies, supreme authority is exercised for the most part by representatives elected by popular suffrage. The representatives may be supplanted by the electorate according to the legal procedures of recall and referendum, and they are, at least in principle, responsible to the electorate. In many democracies, both the executive head of government and the legislature are elected. In typical constitutional monarchies such as Great Britain and Norway, only the legislators are elected, and from their ranks a Cabinet and a prime minister are chosen.Rule by the people played an important part in the democracies of the pre-Christian era. The democracies of the city-states of classical Greece and of Rome during the early years of the Republic were unlike the democracies of today. They were direct democracies, in which all citizens could speak and vote in assemblies that resembled town meetings.By the middle of the 20th century, every independent country in the world, with only a few exceptions, had a government that, in form if not in practice, embodied some of the principles of democracy. Although the ideals of democracy have been widely professed, the practice and fulfillment have been different in many countries.THIS SPIRIT REVEALED ITSELF WHILST THE ISRAELITES WERE WAITING FOR MOSES TO COME DOWN FROM THE MOUNTAIN. Majority vote decided that they create their own God who will lead them out of the wilderness. That spirit which started the war in heaven is still fighting today. This time it is preparing man to face the Almighty just as it did with the angels of old. A grand repackaging is underway. The message must be package in such a way that it is beautiful and seemingly harmless in the eyes and minds of all.At the human level DEMOCRACY is the best form of government since no one person is perfect. Yet with God in the equation, DEMOCRACY, once deeply rooted in the hearts and minds of the people, is a threat. THEY WILL AT A POINT IN TIME DEMAND A CHANGE OF GOVERNMENT.I love the arrangement. Let now look at the code, the mark.It is hidden in the three pillars of DEMOCRACY.(THE MARK OF MAN’S QUEST FOR FREEDOM).1. EXECUTIVE (INDEPENDENT OF GOD-ONE SHORT OF 7)2. LEGISLATIVE (INDEPENDENT OF GOD-ONE SHORT OF 7)3. JUDICIARY (INDEPENDENT OF GOD-ONE SHORT OF 7)These three are almost on equal footing. However, since they are man made institutions meant to replace God’s total authority, they are all one short of the number of spiritual completeness (seven).So, each represents a SIX. Read revelation; the number is that of man, OF MAN’S MAKING. Many think is it a computer chip or something like that. The problem with the workings of God is that man is always looking for something too spectacular. The same spectacular act was expected of Christ’s first coming. Some even think that some great guy is going to rise someday and stamp our faces with the mark 666. That is simply impossible. By that time there will be too many believers of democracy that no single person will be strong enough to carry out such an act. He will simply be isolated by his own people or the international community of “civilized nations”. So those waiting for such a person will be disappointed. The only way that such an event can occur is for such a person or entity to defeat democracy and it supporters. One thing is for sure my friends, in the very near future almost every nation will be forced directly or indirectly to become democratic. Globalization and it tentacles will do the invisible job together with some physical partners in enforcing this mark. We are all receiving and endorsing this mark currently. We are all endorsing our government (independently of God), thus freeing ourselves totally from God’s rule. IN OTHER WORDS, WE ARE TELLING HIM (WE DO NOT NEED YOU) WE CAN JUDGE OURSELVE, FIX OUR OWN LAWS, PICK OUR OWN LEADERS. The bible never made it clear what the mark is, yet it said “This is wisdom….”Believers of Democracy, inherently, do not believe that a single individual or entity is all-knowing, all-powerful enough to head civilization (universal/earthly). In fact a large portion of humanity does not believe in the existence of a God. However, that portion believes in the principles of democracy and will be ready to defend it anytime even if it comes to point of fighting for our “human right” against the Almighty. If we do not agree with a particular government we will simply change it. So, even GOD is subject to change if he wants to rule us. He must be accepted by majority decision. GOD must subject himself to man. What will happen if God decides one day that man no longer has this right? Would we (civilized-nations) accept it lightly? MAN LOVES TO BE FREE. We may rebel, since he will not likely share his glory with anyone. In other words, God will be a dictator in the eyes of a democratic world. With advances in science and magic there is practically nothing that God will do that our scientists will marvel at. They will simply say it can be done with time. So, miracles alone will not convince us that he/she is Almighty. SEE WHERE THE THREAT IS. THAT REBILLIOUS SPIRIT IS WHAT GOD HAS BEEN FIGHTING AGAINST SINCE CREATION BEGUN.THE role of the USA:I personally love this country, however, something deep is happening right now that I saw coming. The rising of the USA was like that of a lamb, but she speaks like a dragon.Before the USA, MOST IF NOT ALL WORLD SYSTEMS WERE NOT TRADITIONALLY REPSECTORS OF HUMAN RIGHTS (OR DEMOCRATIC).The USA prides herself as the PROTECTOR of human rights, freedom and justice. On the surface protecting man freedom may seem a moral act. The question is; what if God says that all authorities on earth must now be subject to his rule? The world is likely to resists any such maneuvers by the Almighty. The reason is, there are many freedom fighters. If the U.S.A can’t do it, the E.U, ASIA or even AFRICA will rise to the occasion. One thing will unite the world against GOD. “We must defend our freedom”. Since the First World War this mark has been enforced year by year around the world. Currently half of the world accepts the position that man can take care of his own business. We are our own masters. We will decide who is fit to rule us, what is right or wrong, what kinds of judgment is morally right. Those not singing the democratic song are finding themselves isolated internationally. They can’t buy or sell freely (both rich and poor). Though, the purest form of this mark is still not in the hearts of all countries, THE DECLARATION OF GEORGE BUSH AFTER Sept 11, points to the fact that the USA is ready to fulfill prophecy by enforcing this mark across the globe in its purest form. The E.U is another able enforcer of this mark. Even AFRICA is rising to the occasion. Terrorism is the first threat that must go. Just the way the DEMOCRACY may be a threat to God’s position in our lives, terrorism is a treat to the place of freedom in man’s life.Many feel the USA will not succeed in Iraq. “I can assure them; the USA will succeed indirectly or directly”. Democracy will be enforced in Iraq. Those rejecting it will find themselves isolated at home and globally. In other words the common man on the streets will be affected. Buying and selling will be difficult for him (rich of poor, small or great, man or woman). This is just the beginning of the end. The coming war against the forces of heaven will pit MAN against GOD. That will be the devil’s last attempt at creating a kingdom for himself, independent of God. Probably, only Israel will be ready to accept the rule of God directly since the Jews are still waiting for their Messiah. The world will be united in resisting any foreign force from taking our mark away.Ask North Korea, Zimbabwe and other so-called non-democratic regimes. The message is clear. Democracy is here to stay. It can be enforced by the powers that be. George bush simplified the concept by saying; EITHER YOU ARE WITH US OR AGAINST US. PEOPLE ALL OVER THE WORLD ARE BEEN TOLD TO RECEIVE THIS SEEMINGLY HARMLESS MARK OR BE ISOLATED.EXECUTIVE (6), LEGISLATIVE (6), JUDICIARY (6). Three man made institutions, all one short of 7. PERFECT GOVERNANCE, FREE OF GOD’S INFLUENCE.Note: the time is coming when the mark will be enforced in its fullest. There will be no time to think whether you will accept it or not. Most people today have failed to see that we are all receiving the mark of the beast. The very reason for the war in heaven is reviving itself again.Those waiting for some super-human to appear on the scene will be disappointed. No one person can dominate a democratic world. Even the president of the U.S.A cannot. With CHINA, RUSSIA and INDIA rising, such a thing is becoming faint. In these three countries the three pillars are present. The only problem is that it is probably in the hands of a section of the populace.The Writer{a lonely voice in a civilized world}“Knowledge about God is the greatest treasure in life”.Reply With Quote

You have a hard time convincing me that the US rose as a Lamb because the country started in war and then we had the continent's bloodiest Civil War barely 100 years later. We did not rise in peace by any means.

Uh huh. This all works if you ignore the other half portion of Scripture that doesn't agree with it. I can take most major countries of the world and make them the system of the antichrist if I pick and choose verses. It's funny how us Americans are considered arrogant yet there are people around the world who assert we somehow have enough power to rule the world including China, Russia, NK, Iran, Pakistan, India, etc. Sorry, but I don't buy this nonsense because Scripture says otherwise.

YOU DO NOT HAVE TO. ONE POINT IS CLEAR. THE USA WAS NEVER MENTIONED IN THIS ARTICLE AS ARROGANT. FURTHERMORE, FOR THE FORSEEABLE FUTURE THERE IS NOT GOING TO BE ANOTHER POWER LIKE HER. THESE ARE NOT THE DAYS OF ROME, GREECE ETC WHERE ONE COME AND GO.THE USA WILL GROW STRONGER AND STRONGER. FORGET BOUT CHINA, RUSSIA ETC. IN FACT I LOVE RUSSIA. I READ A LOT ABOUT THIS COUNTRY. SHE IS JUST GOD'S CHECK ON THE USA'S POWER. THE USA WILL RMAIN AS LONG AS POSSIBLE FOR ISRAEL'S PROTECTION. DEMOCRACY IS WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT. THE WORLD AT THE COMING OF CHRIST WILL BE A DEMOCRATIC ONE. IT DOES NOT MATTER WHO WILL BE IN CHARGE THEN. THAT'S IS THE MARK OF THE BEAST.

Who is the founder of russia, do you know? God said Jacob I loved and Essau I have hated... My roots are from Russia, but the I am here in th US because the Csars persecuted my family. I am sorry but I agree there are many flaws in this THEORY.. Gods Word is simple, plain and explicite in its explanaiton for the end of days, you have Ezekial, Jeremiah, Zechariah Joel, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts and Revelation to tell you ...you have to know the nature of God and his WHOLE plan to really understand ...YOU need the WHOLE WORD to get it,

The mark of the beast is not 666.The mark of the beast has to do with worship, and it has to do with breaking God's law.666 is just an identifying characteristic of the beast (the number of his name) not the mark of the beast, but the number of his name.God bless!!

We know this Kendall this thread was started by a muslim from his point of veiw
Sorry, but I am not a muslim. I believe firmly in Jesus Christ That he is my Lord and Personal Saviour. The mark of the beast is DEMOCRAZY AND THE NUMBER OF HIS NAME IS 666 = EXECUTIVE (6), LEGISLATIVE (6), JUDICIARY (6). Three man made institutions, all one short of 7. PERFECT GOVERNANCE, FREE OF GOD’S INFLUENCE.

COOL, YOU DO NOT HAVE TO AGREE WITH ME. EVEN JESUS HIMSELF FACED PEOPLE WHO NEVER REALLY BELIEVED HIM. HIS OWN DISCIPLES DOUBTED HIM ALL ALONG. THE BIBLE SAID SPECIFICALLY THAT THIS IS WISDOM; MEANING THE TRIUTH IS SHROUDED IN SIMPLE MYSTERY. ONLY TIME WILL TELL IF WHAT I AM TELLING THIS COMMUNITY IS WRONG OR RIGHT. WATCH OUT. THE WORLD WILL BE DEMOCRATIC FROM ALL FOUR CORNERS BEFORE THE COMING OF CHRIST. THOSE OF YOU WAITING FOR SOME SUPERMAN TO APPEAR ON THE SCENE WILL CONTINUE TO WAIT AND BE TAKEN BY SURPRISE. I PRAY YOU SEE SOME ...... IN THIS PIECE

When does 3=6? I'm afraid that doesn't hold where I am from. You're simply assigning numbers arbitrarily and making it up as you go.
EACH OF THE THREE PILLARS OF DEMOCRACY REPRESENTS A 6 (MAN'S CREATION; FREE FROM GOD'S RULE, SO ONE SHORT OF 7).
