Modern Day Mark of The Beast.
The āEnd Timesā and āEschatologyā, meaning ālast days teachingsā by modern era Christians, has the view of the “Mark of the beast” is anticipated by believers as a clue for them to opt out of buying and selling using that Mark becauseĀ “no man can buy or sell, save those that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. That those that do will be eternally damned for doing so. So when “God fearing” adherence see the āMark of the Beast being implemented, they are to withdraw from ābuying and sellingā at that time, because using “the Mark of the Beast” is the demarcation line between damnation and salvation. That whoever receives “the Mark” and the subsequent provisions for doing so, shall be cut off from the grace, the covering and the protection from the Almighty God, our Heavenly Father, as insulting Him, and a blasphemy worthy of eternal damnation for taking the “Mark” of submission to live and abide by the various mandates by doing so.
It is because to take the Mark is to put their trust and dependency on another source for sustenance for all things, in competition with the promises given to us by God as described in scripture. For it was God who has said āI will never leave you or forsake you”. And “Do not fear him who can kill you, but fear Him whom after you die, can incarcerate your soul in Hell. So that when their threats make you feel exposed and naked, that you are being tested to see who provides for you.
Even as our carnal progenitor Adam, who bit into the lie when Satan made them feel naked, exposed and uncovered. Adam had bought into a similar lie, because the liar offers contending features with the gospel of contending coverages. That is why God knew Adam talked to another because of foreign coverings. This is obviously a lesson on the invisible realm.
Our Heavenly Father has NOT left us exposed for us to become fearful, self protective to be intimidated by their embellished presentations that make you buy their products and services. For we are those who cloth ourselves in the things “that God has said”. It is His Word as our only necessary “go to” for protection. And if you do this, it will be evident because the threat to not be able to buy or sell will have no real sway (persuasion) or power over you except maybe a temporary inconvenience for those who still need to be tested on Gods assorted promises, because “God has given us everything that pertains to life and godliness through the knowledge of Him who has called us to glory by virtue”. Yes, by “virtue”as something you cannot touch. Of you knowing when to ignore their scary images, and when and what to say to the obstacles put before you. This is your litmus test to know whether you are really in the faith or not, of being “in the world”, or being “In Christ”, Gods New Creation. Or if you use the tools such as are common to people led by fear.
Fear was the motivating factor that caused Adam to fall, and the need for us to be raised back up, by applying the gift of God in Christ, our resurrection from the dead we have learned to put on. And that death was not a physical one.
Fear is an emotion and a motivator to draw you away from the Father into self protection mode that puts you outside of Gods coverings and provisions (WORD) to be left on to your own demise being “poor,blind, and naked” because you do not know these things.
So lets look at the clues to āThe Mark of the Beastā in scripture that cautions us like “If anyone has an ear, let them hear. 10 Those that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: those that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saintsā.
And to be “lead into captivity” can be as simple as giving into terms conditions that are wavers of responsibility, placing that back on to the subscribers and NOT the providers of various services and coverage’s (like how Adam started with the fig leaf.) It is that terms and conditions are attached to most things. And the subscriber serves the provider, and providers compete with the promises of God in scripture. For it is God that saves us and NOT the gods of this age that keep people sick and blind to the things of God in Christ.
To need āfaith and patienceā, is primarily because of the presentations through modern mediums who twist and contort truth to have people subscribe (which means to put yourself under the care of a government, a corporation, agency or other non-human entities, for things already given to us that are free as outlined in scripture. This would require more than just “faith and patienceā but also resistance by way of a pre-meditative resolve to stand your ground and NOT by stock piling provisions and weapons for war because that is you trying to save yourself. For “those who seek to save their lives will loose it, and those who loose their lives for My sake will gain eternal life” were the words from Christ.
The life of the world is Satans arena that he stole though Adam and Eve so that “those who operate in the flesh, these are NOT the children of God”,Ā that we were cautioned not to participate in also saying āthose who lead with a sword shall be killed with a sword. This is “the faith and patience of the saints.
Saints means āholyā and āholyā means invisible. And the invisible realm is our domain. Even as we read from Hebrews 11 that āNow faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. 2 For by it the elders obtained a good report. 3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear. 5 By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God. 6 But without faith it is impossible to please God: for those that come to God must believe that He is, and that He rewards those that diligently seek Him.
Here is the prophesy of the Mark from The Book of the Revelation of Jesus Christ, of another coming one who is according to Satan. “16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in 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.
It is with this view of taking a physical Mark, that has believers believe they can go about life as usual, buying and selling until its time to take the Mark. But the truth be known. The Mark of the beast was for THAT generation as we read from scripture here “. Then after a thousand year period, Satan would be released one last time to deceive, is what we are to keep watch for but scripture does NOT go into detail of how the final rebellion and departure of the faith is carried out. (2 Peter 3.10)
Lets take a closer look at this concept and the scriptures used to promote those fallacies so as not to be duped because Satan is the father of lies and the master of distorting scripture and using it out of context. For you see it is from “The Book of The āRevelation of Jesus Christā where people get these concepts. However, that book opens up with this clue saying; ā1 The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto Him, to shew unto His servants things which must shortly come to pass (meaning NOT some 2000 years later); and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John: 2 Who bare record of the word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all things that he saw. 3 Blessed are those who readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand.
Meaning that the readers of that age were the recipients of that book, because Ā those terms “things which must shortly come to pass Ā and “the time is at hand”.
Meaning, the whole book of “The Revelation of Jesus Christ”, had its fulfillment in their day. That the people of that time would physically be able to see these events unfold, and take the mark or reject it. Even as Christ Himself spoke to the disciples about the destruction and end times of that Jerusalem sayingĀ 24 And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple. 2 And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down. And “”there are those standing here today who will not taste death until they see the Son of God coming in great power and glory.
It was The Christ who coined the term “at hand” saying “repent for The Kingdom of God is at hand”, as being something other then the Jerusalem that the people of that day were trying to defend. Even as with some of Christs last words were “ My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence. Ā Because His city is “Heavenly Jerusalem come down of God from Heaven”, as being another phrase from the “Book of the Revelationā. And NOT of that Jewish era Jerusalem of which Christ said ānot one stone shall be standing one upon anotherā, who also cried and said āoh Jerusalem how I wouldāve gathered you as a Mother Hen gathers Her chicks but you were not willing. And “if you only knew the things that make up your peace! But now this destruction is upon youā.
So with these and from The Book of the Revelation not to seal the prophecies of that book for the time is at hand. And if we go to the end of the Book of the Revelation we find a similar phrase that says “6 And he said unto me, These sayings are faithful and true: and the Lord God of the holy prophets sent his angel to shew unto his servants the things which must shortly (within their attension span) come to pass. 7 Behold, I come quickly: blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book. Ā 10 And he saith unto me, Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book: for the time is at hand. Read full chapter.
So no where, and we mean NO WHERE is there ANY INDICATION that “The Book of the Revelation of Jesus Christ” and other related prophecies were meant for any other generation except the ones who were alive at the time of its writing. It is a historic book with with this exception of this itty bitty verse at the end of The Revelation that says;
1. And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years.Ā 7 And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison,āto deceive the nations one more time.
Now then, letās put together what happens after the thousand years as our topic for our day now that weāve unraveled deceptive interpretations of āend times prophecies, that were meant for that generation back then. It was for this reason that Peter stated in his second epistle that “7 But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men. 8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. 9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. 10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. 11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness, 12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat? 13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness. 14 Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless. 15 And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you; 16 As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction. 17 Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness. 18 But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen. Read full chapter
Peter did not refer to a second coming as is the focus today. For in fact there is NOT ONE SCRIPTURE THAT TALKS OF A SECOND COMING! No, not one! Peter pointed us to this event to focus on āthe heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned upā.
And then he went on to say because of this āYe therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness.
So what do you think the āerror of the wicked, might be??? Well obviously anything else presented to you as being next in your āescatologyā, meaning, study of end times. Most of if not all that you are looking forward to happen? Has happened. Now we are in the final deception of believing that something else has to happen. And Christiandom as a whole is set outside of the bridal Chamber waiting for it to still happen? But Christs cousin John, at Christs baptism said āi see the Bride with the Bridegroom, therefor my joy (and purpose) is fulfilled. They must increase but i must decreased. And with his beheading? He has nothing left to say. And as said of John The Baptist that āamong those born among women, there is none greater than he. However those who are least in the (New Covenant) Kingdom are greater than he.ā Proving to us that yes, āThe Kingdom of God is at handā as being emphatically different and infinately greater than āall the law and the prophets were till John. Now the New Covenant Kingdom is being preached and all are enteringā. As being the replacement of the old.
And again. The disciples were told after the crusifiction of Christ, after they saw Him āin another form, they were then told to go to Jerusalem until you have heard from Me. For Him to āappear in their midst in another formā. For them to then go downstairs and hear everyone in their own language and tongue speaking of the glories of God, all moved by the Holy Spirit. So that now tge 12 disiples āhaving heardā from Christ, were to depart from that expired Jerusalem. To āgo ye therefor to the four corners of the earth teaching and preaching to whom? The gentiles! Yes, the time of the Gentiles, meaning āall nationsā had come to never, and we mean NEVER!! Go back to the old way of doing things. That ā the law was added to make sin exceedingly sinfulā. And āthe law was added till faith comesā, meaning thee object of our faith, with the new law and the new law giver. To mean Christ, the Son of God, expiring the Old to institute and innitiate the New from tat moment on, to never go back. And the proof? Only the scriptures. As christ in His final words to His disciples before the cross where He said. And we quote āI go to the Father, and you see Me again no moreā, meaning in a physical body. As Paul the Apostle told us ā we once knew Christ according to the flesh, but henceforth, know ye Him that way NO MORE. To then have Him appear to Saul to become Paul on the road to Damascus as āthe bright light from Heavenā. And the qualification to be a disciple was having had to see Him. And Paul did see Him as the bright light we call an epiphany, because He is not a physicality so much but a whole New reality of āthe law of the Spirit of Christ that sets us free from the law of the fleshā thst always keeps you in aant. But for us.??? We are overflowing and exsuding with āthe laws of tge spirit of life in Christ Jesus tharpt sets us free from the law of sin and deathā that was meant only to exploit your lowere nature, to kill it and all its carnal expectations. To make room for āthe new and living way to the Father. To come as if we too were Christ, āin His name and in His authority because āfor even the Heavenly Angels behold tge face of the Heavenly Father in the faces if these little onesā. And if you canāt get this. Go back and read again and pray because until you can truely accept that āThe Kingdom of Gid is at handā as first spoken by Christ, who told the Jewish leaders who were giving Him over to slaughter. Where they asked Him if He was king. He answered them and said ā you have correctly called Me King, however, MY KINGDOM IS NOT FROM HERE! Thereby disenfranchising Himself from them. For Christ to in turn destroy those wicked stewards as being the keepers of the old, holding on to the daed and expired old way of doing things that NEVER produced righteousness, for it was said ā there is none righteous, no NOT ONEā. So to placate them as many do today, is for thise who do to be part and parcel of the crimes against God and Humanity to where again in our day we say āFILL UP TGE MEASURE OF YOUR FATHERS GUILT, And we say to you ā come out from among them My people, lest you (continue to) partake of their sin and recieve of their judgement. It is here that we clump together anyone who has rejected the Savior who already did His saving act, to go back to the old, then to rebrand and repurpose old and expired scriptures, to use them to define another coming one called a second coming, of a phrase NOT FOUND ONCE IN SCRIPTURE. What do you suppose your judgment will be for rejecting the Saviors one and only act of saving being the cross. For them to lay there hopes on a second coming Jesus, who can only by reviving old expired scripture.
So as Peter said ā
So with the thousand year interlude that ends with all the earth and its works burning up, we can understand that this should be our starting point for our last days as being burned by fire. That, yes satan will be released one last time to deceive. That he and his minions have had a long time to re-think how they could do things different because of their last failure and the big difference is this. Instead of a hardcore, live or die by pushing “the Mark (currency) of the beast”. To instead give a soft sell of having people give away their God given sovereignty one “terms and conditions” at a time, distributed throughout a variety of safety, health and wealth and purchasing instruments that they own, that you submit (put yourself under). So that it is “the wars and rumors of wars” as a previous clue for the Mark, just becomes a distraction while they take from you all your God given sovereignty. But because you have never retrieved it, you never knew you had it to loose. But know this, that if there were many who caved into the mark to eat who were condemned. It is those who have caved in for all the worlds deliciousness given at such a seemingly simple cost of giving them all your personal information, when our God is a jealous God….
Down below we will list other verses from the New Testament that convey the same truth.
So then, if you want to shape your view from scripture, you cannot use the portions that have happened like a play book. At best, you can learn from them, but be certain that those expired scriptures are not meant to breath new life into and represent them again. Any and every concept from the Old was emphatically expired, fulfilled and shelved with the coming of Christ. And even of the supposed āend timesā prophecies from the gospels, Jesus Christ stated Himself from Matthew 24 and the end of that kingdom and the end of the Jews saying
24 And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple. 2 And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down. 3 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, 3Ā And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the āworldā?
This word āworldā comes from the Greek concordance #165 aion, and means āAGEā, not world. So āwhat shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of this age (aion)ā, and we repeat, NOT WORLD! Meaning that this whole discourse is meant for them back then as also affirmed from verseĀ
Meaning that the whole Matthew discourse on the end of the world was for the end of an aeon, an era and not the end of the world as so many modern Christians have bought into as a lie. To take used and expired scripture is to li. It is to manipulateā¦
Here is the rest of that āend timesā chapter in the book of Matthew.
4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. 5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. 6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. 7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. 8 All these are the beginning of sorrows. 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. 10 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. 11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. 12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. 13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. 14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come. 15, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:) 16 Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains: 17 Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house: 18 Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes. 19 And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days! 20 But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day: 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. 22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened. 23 Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not. 24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. 25 Behold, I have told you before. 26 Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not. 27 For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. 28 For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together. 29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: 30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. 31 And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other. 32 Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh: 33 So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors. 34
How anyone can take this chapter to copy and paste it for another generation to another time to another event of another coming is Ā unbelievable. But so goes the bulk of Christianity today.
However we can learn attributes like “whose coming is according to Satan with all lying signs and wonders if possible to deceive the Elect” so as not to be duped by a repeat of circumstances.
So lets disect what happened and project only into what we do know is that Satan would be released one more time. But that we cannot use scripture as it is rendered to do so. For even Christ had said “i tell you the truth that there are some standing here who shall not taste death until they have seen all these things have happened. Meaning that almost none of the New Testament scriptures were left open for a later fulfillment. And certainly, none of the Old Testament writings were left over for future fulfilments because Christ claimed
to have expired “all the law and the prophets, to meaning all other writings previously to His coming. The only way you can re-apply either Covenant verses is to take them out f contexts. The only thing we can do is to use the few verses that were left outside of the canonical, historical .
