The Mark of the Beast 666
Thessalonians 2:1 Now we request you, brethren, with regard to
the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and our gathering
together to Him. Verse 3-4 Let no one in any way deceive you,
for it will not come unless the apostasy come first, and the
man of lawlessness (Satan) is revealed, the son of
destruction, who opposes and exalts himself above every
so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat
in the temple of God, displaying himself as being God.
Many Christians have been deceived as to the coming of Satan
upon this world. They believe that the Church will be secretly
raptured out therefore not effecting them. This lie that Satan
has cleverly deceived the world with only makes his task
easier. He is going to set up his one world religion and
government in such a way that people will accept his mark in
order to survive with the daily necessities.
Satan's main goal has been to be God. He will come at a time
when the world is in such devastation that many will welcome
him, believing him to be the answer to their problems. He and
his evil angels have been confined to the spiritual realm but,
the time is coming when he will be released on this earth in
the physical form of a man just as Jesus was a God-man. He
will deceive the world with miracles and set up his kingdom.
And I saw another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had
two horns like a lamb (Satan), and he spoke as a dragon. And
he exercises all authority of the first beast in his presence.
And he makes the earth those who dwell in it to worship the
first beast, (Rome) whose wound was healed. And he performs
great signs, so that he even makes fire come down out of
heaven to the earth in the presence of men. In 2 Corinthians
1:14-15 And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an
angel of light. Therefore it is not surprising if his servants
also disguise themselves as servants of righteousness; whose
end shall be according to their deeds. Remember he wants to be
God and will try to duplicate everything He does. He tries to
convince people that he is God with all his deceptions. His
apparition will be destroyed in the lake of fire. Satan is the
angel Lucifer who transformed himself into a serpent in the
garden of Eden.
He will enter this world during the 5th trumpet. And the fifth
angel sounded, and I saw a star from heaven which had fallen
to the earth; and the key of the bottomless pit, like the
smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were
darkened by the smoke of the pit. Revelation 9:1-2 Verse 3 And
out of the smoke came forth locusts (evil angels of Satan)
upon the earth; and power was given them, as the scorpions of
the earth have power, and they were told that they should not
hurt the grass of the earth, nor any green thing, not any
tree, but only the men who do not have the seal of God (the
unsaved) on their foreheads. Verses 10-11 And they have tails
like scorpions and stings; and in their tails is their power
to hurt men for five months. They have an angel king over
them, the angel of the abyss; his name in Hebrew is Abaddon,
and in the Greek he has the name Apollyon. (This name means
destroyer) This king, the star is nothing less than Lucifer
with all his evil demons.
Jesus marks His servants the 144,000. And I looked, and
behold, the Lamb (Jesus) was standing on Mount Zion, and with
Him one hundred and forty-four thousand, having His name and
the name of His Father written on their foreheads. Revelation
14:1
Satan offers his counterfeit by marking those following him.
We are all aware of the evil that the number 666 represents.
Revelation 13:15-18 And there was given to him to give breath
to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast might
even speak and causes as many as do not worship the image of
the beast to be killed. And he causes all, the small and the
great, and the rich and the poor, and the free men and the
slaves, to be given a mark on their right hand, or on their
forehead, and he provides that no one should be able to buy or
sell except the one who has the mark, either the name of the
beast or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him who
has understanding calculate the number is six hundred and
sixty-six.
It our opinion that the coming mark of the beast will be a
visible mark on the forehead or hand, a tattoo perhaps. Exodus
13:9 "And it serve as a sign to you on your hand, and as
a reminder on your forehead, that the law of the Lord may be
in your mouth; for with a powerful hand the Lord brought you
out of Egypt." It is possible that the Hebrews were
tattooed while they were in slavery. It was the custom of that
day. Those that were delivered out of Egypt that were 20 years
old and older died off because of rebellion before they
entered the promise land. The generation that entered the
promise land were unmarked. The final generation that are
entering heaven will be unmarked for they will not take the
mark of the beast. Remember how Hitler marked the Jews.
A tattoo is easily implemented on masses of people. Computer
cards can be lost or stolen and therefore would not serve the
purpose. Tracking devices are not even conceivable because
there won't be enough electricity to run much of anything by
the time of the 5th trumpet when Satan appears on the scene.
Study as to what is happening during the trumpets for yourself
and you will see what I mean. Revelation chapters 8 and 9. The
mark of the beast will be the same all over the world. No one
will be forced to take the mark. He will extend his own hand
in order to receive food and other necessities. Those
following God will have to live by faith. But God will take
care of His own. He will send hamburgers from heaven for His
children if necessary.
So why does God allow all this to happen? In 2 Thessalonians
2:10-12 ..and with all the deception of wickedness for those
who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth
so as to be saved. And for this reason God will send upon them
a deluding influence so that they might believe what is false,
in order that they all may be judged who did not believe the
truth, but took pleasure in wickedness. Because people do not
love the truth, they have not learned to have faith in God to
take care of them. Too many have depended on others to teach
them rather than allowing God's Holy Spirit to lead them to
truth. It is easier to believe a lie. We should each study for
ourselves. We will have no one to blame but ourselves. There
are Bible's in most homes that lay there except when one is in
church.
Satan and his angels will appear to come out of the clouds
just like Jesus and he will be seen in many places claiming to
be God, but Jesus will be seen by ALL and He never touches the
earth. Satan will set up his government on the earth and cause
all to worship him and to receive his mark in order to buy or
sell.
In Revelation 17:8 The beast (Satan) that you saw was and is
not (visible), and is about to come up out of the abyss and to
go to destruction (lake of fire). And those who dwell on the
earth will wonder, whose name has not been written in the book
of life from the foundation of the world, when they see the
beast, that he was and is not (visible) and will come. God's
people whose names are written in the book of life will not
wonder or be surprised because they already know who he is.
They have studied and have prepared and have an understanding
of the prophecies. They will be prepared by the Holy Spirit
because they do love the truth and are looking and watching
for the return of our Lord.
SATAN IS THE ANTICHRIST. The new world order is on its way and
soon you will have to make a decision to follow God or the
evil one, Satan. You will either live by your faith in God or
receive the mark of the beast for eternal damnation. You alone
will extend your hand to the beast in order to live, but only
for a short duration.
Many will die for their faith in God during the 5th trumpet
for it is a time of martyrdom. But they are blessed because
they will not receive the second death but, eternal life.
The Lord is giving you the experience NOW to walk by faith.
Will He find your faith when He comes or will you have fallen
for Satan's lie until it is too late.
May God bless you and our prayer is that you will study and
learn the truth that God will reveal to you.
