MARK OF THE BEAST

This portion is to expose what the Scriptures say the mark of the beast truly is. Many people over the years have used their own interpretation on prophecy to define what this infamous and mysterious mark is. Would Yehovah leave us in the dark on such a serious subject; or would He give us clues in His word. What does the Bible really say about this, and can we use our own thoughts and ideas to define what prophecy's symbols and meanings are. This will expose what the true mark of the beast is, using the Bible and history.

2 Peter 1:20-21 clearly says we cannot use our own perception to define Scripture, nor should we. Yehovah will define everything for us already in His word. All we must do is seek His truth and ask for knowledge to understand what He is trying to say within the Scriptures. Satan has tried to get man to use our thoughts for what the mark of the beast is.

Social Security Number: Many people thought this was the mark of the beast, but were incorrect!

The idea for barcodes dates back to 1948, when Norman "Joe" Woodland invented the first barcode. Incredibly, the first version used a variation of Morse code. The idea was reworked for many years trying to find a cost effective solution. By 1969, a committee was formed by the major grocery food chains and some of their suppliers to work on a universal barcode system that was cost effective. They got proposals from the leading technology companies of the time and accepted one from IBM in 1973. On June 26th, 1974, a ten pack of barcoded Wrigley's chewing gum was the first item scanned by a modern UPC scanner. As the 70s wore on, barcode equipment became more affordable and the barcode became widespread. By 1980, they were used in the majority of sales establishments.

Many people thought that was the mark of the beast, but they were incorrect!

The latest idea man has conceived is the implantable microchip. A human microchip implant is an identifying integrated circuit device or RFID transponder encased in silicate glass and implanted in the body of a human being. A subdermal implant typically contains a unique ID number that can be linked to information contained in an external database, such as personal identification, medical history, medications, allergies, and contact information. This is said to be placed underneath the skin, many assume the right hand or the forehead but truthfully it can be placed anywhere. The most common place will be the hand but either hand will do. I believe Satan will use these devices to financially control the population who don't obey the New World Order he is actively trying to set up. So is man's interpretation finally correct this time? Have we finally figured Satan out or does he have us right where he wants us? Satan is a highly intelligent spirit, who has existed for many years. To say we are one step ahead of this entity is foolishness. The only hope we truly have is listening to the word of Yehovah that tells us in prophecy exactly what will happen and not use our own thoughts or ideas.

Enough with using our own ideas and interpretations, lets look into the word of Yehovah and find out exactly what the mark of the beast is using the Scriptures as the defining factor.

It says in...

Revelation 13:16

“And he also causes all, both small and great, both rich and poor, both free and slave, to be marked upon the right hand, or upon in their foreheads”.

We must remember the Bible says the beast that comes from the earth, we now recognized as the United States of America is the one who causes all to worship the first beast (Roman Catholic Church) who seem to have a mortal head wound, but was healed and the whole world wondered after the beast. The United States is the one who enforces this mark of the beast to be placed on the right hand and upon the forehead. What is the Bible talking about when it says "right hand and the forehead " is this a physical mark or could it be spiritual? Let's find clues in the word of Yehovah, not use our own understanding.

Let’s take a look at what Scriptures say about a mark. The mark on the forehead isn’t necessarily a bad thing. For example, in the book of Ezekiel Yehovah (God) sends an angel to mark all of his people who are sorry for all the sin in Jerusalem. Which would mean these men who are sorry have decided to keep the Commandments of Yehovah (God). In result of their choosing to worship Him correctly, Yehovah has an angel with an ink horn to mark those who are repentant and obeying Yehovah (God). The ones who do not have a mark on their forehead are selected for death.

EZEKIEL 9:3-5 "then the glory of the Yehovah of Israel went up from the cherub on which it had been, to the threshold of the temple. And He called to the man clothed in linen at whose loins was the writing case. Yehovah said to him, Go through the midst of the city, even through the midst of Jerusalem, and put a mark on the foreheads of the men who sigh and groan over all the abominations which are being committed in its midst. But to the others He said in my hearing, "Go through the city after him and strike; do not let your eye have pity and do not spare."

So did Yehovah send an angel to put a physical mark on those men and women? Of course not, this is a spiritual mark. Everyone in the world will be marked, either with the mark of the beast or the seal of Yehovah. So the seal of Yehovah in your forehead (Revelation 7:3) is a sign of those who follow the truth of Yehovah and His Commandments. The mark of the beast would be those who follow the commandments and teachings of the beast or Satan’s system. Both of these marks are not a tattoo or microchip. Although the government powers will most likely us microchips for control, it doesn’t involve worship. Worship comes from the mind mentally believing their faith.

So what could this mark of the beast be? Would Yehovah (God) leave this detail unknown to us with such a harsh punishment for it (Revelation 14:11) or would He give us clues in His word since He is a just God? The only document we now know we can trust, unlike the words of man. Remember the Hebrew’s are where the Scriptures come from so we must start there.

Let's find out what is the sign or mark of Yehovah

Ezekiel 20:12 "I gave them my Sabbaths, to be a sign between me and them that they might know that I am Yehovah that sanctifies them."

Deuteronomy 6:8 "You shall bind them as a sign on your hand and they shall be as frontals on your forehead.” (Speaking of his Law, even the 4th)

Deuteronomy 11:18 ‘Therefore shall you lay up these my words (10 commandments) in your heart and in your soul; and you shall bind them for a sign upon your hand, and they shall be for frontlets between your eyes.” (What’s behind your eyes, you’re mind. Aka Forehead)

Revelation 7:2-3 “And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea, saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads.” (Sealed with the Law of YHVH (God)

Exodus 31:16-17 "The Israelites are to observe the Sabbath, celebrating for the generations to come as a everlasting covenant. It will be a sign between Me and the children of Israel forever, for in six days YHVH made the heavens, earth and on the seventh day, He rested and was refreshed.

Commandment number four

“Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. You shall labor six days, and do all your work; but the seventh day is a Sabbath day to Yehovah your God. You shall not do any work in it, you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your livestock, nor your stranger who is within your gates. For in six days Yehovah made the heavens and earth and seas; and all that in them is, and rested on the seventh day; therefore Yehovah blessed the Sabbath day, and made it holy.”

The 4th Commandment is like a seal. It gives the name, the title of that person and the territory they control. It is the stamp of authority for Yehovah.

Yehovah = Name. Creator = Title. Heavens, Earth and seas = Territory! So by keeping the 4th Commandment we are acknowledging Yehovah (God) as the ruler or the highest King of this world. That day is set apart and holy.

The Sabbath Commandment is in the middle of Yehovah’s (God) 10 Commandents; it is the longest commandment of them all. It’s the only one that has the terms “blessed and holy” in it. It starts by saying "remember" so why think we can forget it now? I’m pretty sure He knew that in the end Satan would try and deceive people by changing the day He commanded to be worshipped. So He began it by saying “Remember the Sabbath”. Think about it, would Yehovah (God) say don’t worry about the 10 Commandments; it’s ok to steal if you want. It’s ok to kill someone, I don’t mind. After Yeshua's death if you want to emotionally destroy your wife by commiting adultery, it's fine with me. Lying isn’t a big deal either. Of course not, a holy and loving God would expect loving people to be doing these already. So the fourth Commandment is how loving people show they love their God.

What's the mark of the beast then?

"Sunday is our mark of authority the church is above the Bible, and this transference of Sabbath observance is proof of that fact"

Catholic Record of London, Ontario Sept 1, 1923.

“The authority of the Church could therefore not be bound to the authority of the Scriptures, because the Church has changed the Sabbath into Sunday, not by command of Christ, but by its own authority”.

Cannon and Tradition page 263

“By virtue of her divine mission changed the day from Saturday to Sunday”.

Cardinal Gibbons, The Catholic Mirror (9/23/1893)

I have repeatedly offered $1000 to any one who can furnish any proof from the Bible that Sunday is the day we are bound to keep...The Bible says, “Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy,” but the Catholic Church says, “No, keep the first day of the week,” and the whole world bows in obedience.

Catholic Priest T. Enright, CSSR, lecture at Hartford, KS, Feb 18, 1884

Of course the Catholic Church claims that the change was her act. And the act is a MARK of her ecclesiastical power and authority in religious matters.

Letter from C.F. Thomas, Chancellor of Cardinal Gibbons on October 28, 1895

Not the Creator of the Universe in Genesis 2:1-3, but the Catholic Church “can claim the honor of having granted man a pause to his work every seven days.”

S.C. Mosna, Storia della Domenica (1969): 366-367

I know this may seem like something very minor or insignificant. We cannot expect to worship Yehovah in our way and think it is good enough. He is the Creator and He made the standards and requirements that are to be kept, and not changed. He is The Most High. We are the ones who obey Him, not the other way around. There is not one Scripture or prophecy that says the Sabbath was to be changed. It was at creation, during the Old Testament, Yeshua kept it, disciples kept it and we will continue to in the new heavens and new earth (Isaiah 66:23). The Scriptures say we will worship before Yehovah every Sabbath. So why would it be changed for such a short period of time without any answer as to why in Scripture; only changed by man not Yehovah. Deception is the worst thing because you find out you believe in a lie.

So the mark of the beast is not a barcode, tattoo or even a microchip but a symbolic sign of your allegiance. This is why the Scriptures say in the book of Isaiah, Satan wanted to be worshipped like the Most High. A microchip would give Satan power over us, however he is the prince of this world and has power over us already. Satan uses money to enslave us. Money alone is not valuable in itself. Currency is made out of cotton and linen. Both of these materials are not valuable as gold and silver is. But we use money as if it is. This is why the world is drowning in debt and inflation is at record highs. It cost the same amount to make a $100 bill as it does to make a $1 bill. Money is needed in our time to survive but it should not be our total focus. The mark of the beast has nothing to do with control, but worship. The Sabbath is Yehovah's day His people should come together and praise Him. The Catholic Church admits they changed the Sabbath Commandment from Saturday Yehovah established, to the pagan Sunday of the sun worshippers.

Yehovah will seal the Commandments and the Sabbath in the foreheads of His servants in the endtimes

This is a good time to say, those people who kept the first day of the week (Sunday) as their day of worship will not be judged as those in the last days who do.

Acts 17:30

"Therefore having overlooked the times of ignorance, Yehovah is now declaring to men that all people everywhere should repent.

The mark of the beast (Change of days of Sabbath) will not become the mark until the second beast from the earth (U.S.A) causes all to worship the first beast (Catholic Church) by law. As of now, there is no law demanding worship yet.

Revelation 13:12

"It exercised all the authority of the first beast on its behalf, and made the earth and its inhabitants worship the first beast, whose fatal wound had been healed.

The Bible gives us clues that, this is how the last days will come about.

In the book of Daniel, the prophet Daniel is required by a law of the king of Persia to break the first Commandment; and pray to the king for 30 days. Daniel would not obey man's law rather than Yehovah's. So he was persecuted and was thrown into a lion's den to be killed, but Yehovah saved Daniel for his obedience to His Commandments.

Also, in the book of Daniel there were three Hebrews who would not break the second Commandment and bow down to a graven image and worship it. So rather than obey the king's law and break Yehovah's Commandments, the three Hebrews decided they would rather be persecuted. But Yehovah saved the men from the flames and death.

These stories are in the book of Daniel because this is the book that is the key to unlocking the book of Revelation. The symbols of Revelation are given to us in the book of Daniel. Also that there will be a law made by a king, that king is the leader of the end time beast which is in control of another beast, one from the earth. This beast has a strong and powerful capability to bring about worship to the whole world. Causing all to worship this first beast; which in their own words is Sunday worship.
