The Real Mark of The BeastAlmost everyone whether christain or not has heard of this "Mark of the Beast" in book of Revelation(rev.20:4)but what is this Mark?? That is the question everyone wants to know.The first I ever heard of this Mark was as a kid somtime in the 1960's and the most common belief at the time was that it was a number that would be tattooed on your right hand or your forehead.With time this changed, by the 1980's the most common conception was that it would be a bar code tattoo.Then came tecnology advances and people began to belive theMark would be some kind of ID card.Now most people think it is a computer chip embeded in the right hand or forehead.At this rate the next concenses will be that the Mark is your cloned self with a number on its hand or forehead so you can reconize it from the real you (just kidding), but you can see my point.So what is this Mark of the Beast and why will it be in your right hand or forehead.First, lets take the word "MARK" - meaning: to brand, stamp, (str.#5480) to put this in simple english terms, you brand somthing to show ownership, or you claim ownership of a thing or idea by placing a MARK on it that represents an extension of self. For example, "X" could symbolize your name, the same as your signature, which you own, so too can an idea or thought can be branded into your memory,another words, MARKED into your mind (made your thought/memory). Now let me see where's our mind or brain located? Oh yeah, IN OUR FOREHEADS.Our MIND IS IN OUR FOREHEAD.Therefore if you are FIRMLY MARKED in your mind, (beleive with your heart) what ever you believe, is MARKED /stamped on your mind or in your forehead. This same train of thought goes also for the work you do with your hands. Wether you make pottery or dig a ditch you own (put a mark) your work. This is why you can choose to sell or trade the work you have done, for profit wether it be money or some other form of gain. In claiming the work done with your hands, however, you also claim the resulting rewards or consequences of that work. For example you can do work for good or for evil, and each will have different reward, but you own the final consequences of that work.So to summerize what I'm saying here; if you Follow Gods Laws, and if you know God in your heart and mind (forehead), know his love for you, know he sacrificed his Son, "Christ", for you and do good works with YOU HANDS, you have the "Mark of God" upon you.If you do not know God, or follow his laws, if you do not believe in his love and sacrifices and do evil works, you are in danger of having the "Mark of beast " upon you.So what does the bible say to about this:Revelation 14:1 also speaks of those who have the Father's name and the Name of the Messiah written on their Foreheads. "And I looked, and there before me was the lamb, standing on Mount Zion, and with him 144,000 who had his name and his father's name WRITTEN ON THEIR FOREHEADS." God has given His Mark, representing His Laws and His Sacred Calendar, to be a sign on our Hands and Foreheads. Those who have set themselves apart, sanctified unto the Lord, will have the Name of YHVH and the name of Yeshua ON THEIR FOREHEADS Revelation 22:4 says that God's servants will have His NAME ON THEIR FOREHEADSRevelation 7:3 Do not harm the land or the sea or the trees until we put a seal on the Foreheads of the servants of our God."Revelation 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. Hebrews 8:10: "I will put my laws in their minds, and write them on their hearts."Now that we have established this, the obvious question is, Who is the Beast? Most people are familiar with,Revelation 13:16: "He forced everyone, small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on his hand or on his forehead..." Could this be a coincidence? No.If God's mark is his name and his laws, then the mark of the beast must be a counterfeit of what God has given. Just as God's Mark represents His Name, and his nature so will the Mark of the beast represent his name and his nature. Revelation 14:8 & 11"Fallen, fallen is Babylon the Great, which made all the nations drink the maddening wine of her adulteries... There is no rest day or night for those who worship the beast and his image, or for anyone who receives the mark of his name." (Satan the Beast) The scriptures tell us that the beast, will oppose God's people in the last days, but God said that His `Seal'(mark) represented the laws and his name. It is the counterfeit of these which we must reject .So who is the conterfeiter?Satan, is called by many names in the bible (the serpant,Lucifer,morning star,devil) depending on what side of his nature is being represented,but the one constant is that he is opposed/against God , because he was filled with pride and envy,he wants to be God. Satan is the great conterfeiter, Satan's mark is a counterfeit of what God's mark is.To review God Mark, represents His Laws. Therefore Satan's mark represents his laws. . So to believe his (Satans) lies and spead his word (do his work)is the mark of Satan who is the beast, Thus is the Mark of the Beast. The number 666 (some translations have it 616) is a subject in its self, has almost nothing to do with the Mark!!!.The 666 has to do with the events and the times when Satan is on earth and losed (not chained) as he is now. The number is not the Mark. It is only losely associated with the "MARK" in that if you believe Satan lies that he is christ,returned in your thoughts(brain /Forehead) and do his bidding (work) (with your hands) then you have the "MARK OF THE BEAST"kriss
