Mark of The Beast: Part I
Eventually everyone will be required to have the chip, or you will not be able to function. Yahweh does not prohibit you from being marked. It is to DENY CHRIST that is the sin. The mark means nothing if you do not deny Christ when you are challenged on that issue. Just as this Beast prints our money and taxes us, it also lays the foundation for trying to make people deny Christ. The mark is like the money – it will be necessary to have it to function; but other than that, Christ must be confirmed as the Redeemer.
Revelation 13:16-18 “And he requires everyone—small and great, rich and poor, free and slave—to be given a mark on his right hand or on his forehead, so that no one can buy or sell unless he has the mark: the beast’s name or the number of his name. Here is wisdom: The one who has understanding must calculate the number of the beast, because it is the number of a man. His number is 666.”
“And he requires everyone” is the KEY. Everyone on this planet that’s living in a vessel will have those marks. “so that no one can buy or sell unless he has the mark” The beast does it this way so that the MARK is necessary to survive on the physical plane.
Revelation 14:8-10 A second angel followed, saying: “It has fallen, Babylon the Great has fallen, who made all nations drink the wine of her sexual immorality, which brings wrath.” And a third angel followed them and spoke with a loud voice: “If anyone worships the beast and his image and receives a mark on his forehead or on his hand, he will also drink the wine of God’s wrath, which is mixed full strength in the cup of His anger. He will be tormented with fire and sulfur in the sight of the holy angels and in the sight of the Lamb,
“If anyone worships the beast and his image and receives a mark on his forehead or on his hand, he will drink the wine of God’s wrath,” It’s NOT if you have the mark – it’s if you have the mark AND worship the beast and his image. All will have the mark, just as we all use the money the Beast prints; but you do not deny Christ because you must accept the Beast printed money to survive. Keep your senses and your priorities straight.
Revelation 14:10-12 “…he will also drink the wine of God’s wrath, which is mixed full strength in the cup of His anger. He will be tormented with fire and sulfur in the sight of the holy angels and in the sight of the Lamb, and the smoke of their torment will go up forever and ever. There is no rest day or night for those who worship the beast and his image, or anyone who receives the mark of his name. Here is the endurance of the saints, who keep the commandments of God and the faith in Jesus.”
“There is no rest day or night for those who worship the beast and his image, or anyone who receives the mark of his name” “or “anyone” refers to those who are not worshipers of the Beast that receive the mark. “no rest day or night” means that the Beast is trying to convert (FORCE) anyone to turn against Christ; but it does not mean EVERYONE bearing the Mark will succumb to that torture by the Beast. “Here is the endurance of the saints, who keep the commandments of God and the faith in Jesus.” It does NOT SAY “those that refuse the mark” it says, “who keep the commandments of God and the faith in Jesus.” You can bear the mark for economic reasons and still remain faithful. That’s what “the endurance” of having the mark refers to.
Revelation 16:2 “The first went and poured out his bowl on the earth, and severely painful sores broke out on the people who had the mark of the beast and who worshiped his image.”
This refers to those that were NOT in the first Rapture. Because they missed out on the first Rapture. Those people must prove their faith by suffering – enduring – the torment metted out by Yahweh along with those that worship the Beast. It is a FINAL TEST this side of Armageddon. IF they ENDURE, they will be in the 2nd Rapture.
i’m sorry but what you have presented here is not not Biblical truth. First let me start by saying that this is a topic the the devil DOES NOT want any of us to understand and must less not get it, that is why there is so much confusion over what this thing really is. however the bible is clear and interprets itself and anyone can understand it…so please pray that the Holy Sprit will guide you into all truth before going any further (John 16:13)
secondly…Before you can identify what the Mark of the Beast is..you must first identify who the beast is. of which the Bible tell you what to look for…
Revelation 13:1-8, 16-18 provides 11 identifying characteristics. They are listed below:
A. Rises from sea (verse 1).
B. Composite of the four beasts of Daniel chapter 7 (verse 2).
C. Dragon gives it power and authority (verse 2).
D. Receives a deadly wound (verse 3).
E. Deadly wound healed (verse 3).
F. Strong political power (verses 3, 7).
G. Strong religious power (verses 3, 8).
H. Guilty of blasphemy (verses 1, 5, 6).
I. Wars with and overcomes the saints (verse 7).
J. Rules for 42 months (verse 5).
K. Has mysterious number–666 (verse 18).

Kez, why don’t we both say a prayer goes something like this, “Dear Yahweh, I want to worship You in spirit and Truth. You know my heart, do I depend on my own wisdom or man’s interpretation or do I really desire Your Spirit of Truth? I pray in the name of Your Loving Son, Christ Jesus, Amen”
