In this commentary, I will discuss what the Mark of the Beast is, and how it will effect everyday life, and how a person cannot accidentally receive it.
What is the mark of the Beast?
The mark of the Beast is a futurist event that will take place in the last seventh years of human civilization before the return of Jesus the Christ and the start of His millennial rein on the Earth.
The mark of the beast will be some kind of tattoo or microchip that every human will have to receive on their forehead of right hand. My thought is it could be a barcode. I lean more to a visual mark, than a hidden chip, because it will be easier to spot decenters, if a person doesn’t have a visible tattoo, they will be turned in to the authorities.
When the mark of the beast is instituted, the civilized world will be ruled by a one government, one religious, and system. The head of this utopia government will be the anti-Christ.
During this time period, there will also be a one world economic system. The mark of the beast will be ever citizen passport for purchasing power, Idea for medical treatment system, personal information.
All the civilized institution and their service will only be obtained with the mark.
The latest buzz in the news feed in the last month or so, has been, doing away with money. Because the popular belief is that the passing of currency between people can spread the virus.
There has been talk of installing a one world government, so that people from all over the world will be under one system to defeat the Corona Virus.
The technology is all in place for this event to the place. No time in history has mankind had the ability to tack the knowledge of a person’s, purchases, financial history, medical records, social interaction, and location?
Now these future events were prophecies by John the Apostle, who was shown these event through a vision, given to him by the risen Jesus, while John was banished to a remote island, for preach about Jesus. John wrote down these visions in obedience to Jesus’ instructing him to do so.
We know this written record as the book of Revelation.
Here is the biblical reference that support what we have just covered.
Revelation 13:16-17 American Standard Version (ASV)
16 And he causeth all, the small and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the free and the bond, that there be given them a mark on their right hand, or upon their forehead; 17 and that no man should be able to buy or to sell, save he that hath the mark, even the name of the beast or the number of his name.
Now to discuss the Elephant in the room.
I was talking to a friend of mine at church, and he thought that the mark of the beast could be a microchip that will be inserted in the body. He watches a lot of conspiracy theory shows, and loose Goosy biblical shows. Which could do more harm than good if you aren’t a bible student and know how to rightly divide the word of God.
Knowing I am a 9 military veteran, who trained as a combat engineer, than trained as a anti-armor missile crewman with the mechanize infantry, then was train as a combat medic, serving with a nuclear tactical unit, to then spend my last 2 year give medical support to the 1 green bray, and the 23rd ranger battalion.
So he hearing information that during the Iraq war soldier had tracking chips implanted in them, he asked me, did I think they unwillingly receive the mark of the Beast?
Here is my biblically base sound answer.
The damning of one’s soul before God, is not caused by the technology, form of government, or economic system. The damnation comes from making an alliance, and worshipping the Anti-Christ as God of the universe, rejecting the one true God.
This will be the one unescapable decision every citizen will have to make, if not they will be put to death.
Revelation chapter 13, explains that the anti-Christ will be recognized not by appearance, but by the blasphemy that will flow from his mouth against the true God, and by the persecution he will wage against the Christians. As we stated be for, he will demand to be worship in the place of the one true God. Any decent will be met with death.
Here is the Biblical Support.
13 1 and [a]he stood upon the sand of the sea.
And I saw a beast coming up out of the sea, having ten horns and seven heads, and on his horns ten diadems, and upon his heads names of blasphemy. 2 And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his throne, and great authority. 3 And I saw one of his heads as though it had been [b]smitten unto death; and his death-stroke was healed: and the whole earth wondered after the beast; 4 and they [c]worshipped the dragon, because he gave his authority unto the beast; and they [d]worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? and who is able to war with him? 5 and there was given to him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and there was given to him authority [e]to continue forty and two months. 6 And he opened his mouth for blasphemies against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, even them that [f]dwell in the heaven. 7 [g]And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and there was given to him authority over every tribe and people and tongue and nation. 8 And all that dwell on the earth shall [h]worship him, every one whose name hath not been [i]written from the foundation of the world in the book of life of the Lamb that hath been slain. 9 If any man hath an ear, let him hear. 10 [j]If any man [k]is for captivity, into captivity he goeth: if any man shall kill with the sword, with the sword must he be killed. Here is the [l]patience and the faith of the saints.
Here is the biblical reference that support what we have just covered.
11 And I saw another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like unto a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. 12 And he exerciseth all the authority of the first beast in his sight. And he maketh the earth and them that dwell therein to [m]worship the first beast, whose death-stroke was healed. 13 And he doeth great signs, that he should even make fire to come down out of heaven upon the earth in the sight of men. 14 And he deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by reason of the signs which it was given him to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast who hath the stroke of the sword and lived. 15 And it was given unto him to give breath to it, even to the image of the beast, [n]that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as should not [o]worship the image of the beast should be killed. 16 And he causeth all, the small and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the free and the bond, that there be given them a mark on their right hand, or upon their forehead; 17 and that no man should be able to buy or to sell, save he that hath the mark, even the name of the beast or the number of his name. 18 Here is wisdom. He that hath understanding, let him count the number of the beast; for it is the number of a man: and his number is [p]Six hundred and sixty and six.
What will happen to those who receive the mark? According to the book of Revelations, They will suffer all the pain and destruction that will be cause by the plaques God will poor out on the whole world. When Jesus comes back to Earth, he will destroy the civilization, and its armies, that have made allegiants with the Anti-Christ.
Here is the biblical reference that support what we have just covered.
Revelation 14:9-12
9 And another angel, a third, followed them, saying with a great voice, If any man [d]worshippeth the beast and his image, and receiveth a mark on his forehead, or upon his hand, 10 he also shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is [e]prepared unmixed in the cup of his anger; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: 11 and the smoke of their torment goeth up [f]for ever and ever; and they have no rest day and night, they that [g]worship the beast and his image, and whoso receiveth the mark of his name. 12 Here is the [h]patience of the saints, they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.
Conclusion.
Thou no man Know the day or Hour, when this curtain will go up on this show, But by staying in the scriptures, and keeping our eyes and ears open, we can tell when the bringing of the show is drawling near, when we see the seats in the theater are filling up.
