L. #10. REVELATION'S MARK of the BEAST.

     SORRY, IT IS N O T  a micro-chip nor a tattoo!

     The first mention of a "Mark" is right near the beginning of God's Word! Most know the story of Cain and Able, who was the older twin, were asked to provide a sacrifice, as an act of worship. They were told what kind of sacrifice and just how to offer it. They were both to bring a lamb and offer it as a burnt sacrifice upon an alter.
    Well Able, the younger brother, did as God wanted, but Cain, being the farmer, decided to bring to bring that which he had grown and produced himself.
    Abel must have tried to explain to him that God word was very specific, requiring a lamb and not produce. Cain seemingly did not want to heat this, and becoming very angry took up a stone and killed him.
     The Bible tells us in Genesis 4th chapter, that Cain was then curses and that God placed a "Mark" on him. We are NOT told what kind of mark he received, but it was a "sign" to others 'Lest any finding him should kill him, VS15. ."  In VS12, shows that Cain will no longer be able to grow anything  for his food.
    This story will show YOU, dear reader, that any worship one gives unto God, must be as HE shown us in His Word, or it and us are rejected agree?   Look at this verse.... and YOU judge!
       Matthew 23:35 . "That upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar
This story about Cain and Able.story is ALL about Worship, and worship in the manner God has set before us, would YOU dear reader, agree with this assessment? "
    The Book of Revelation tells us that at the time of the end, there will be another mark given to ALL those who choose to obey the Commandments of men, rather than those of God's! It speaks that those who obey God' s laws, will be persecuted by those people who obey the laws of men, because they remain loyal to God! At first they will be urged to accept this mark of the Beast system, the M.O.B. and latter if refused will be faced with the MOB. of those who have the Mark of the Beast, and are loyal to the man made Commandment!
   So exactly what is this MARK?   Let's see what the Word tells all, OK?

1. Where else in the Bible is The Beast of Revelation 13 mentioned? Is he called by another name?
    Daniel 7:3. "And four great beasts came up from the sea, diverse one from another. "
    Daniel 7:8. "I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things."

Note: I(n Revelation, there is a Beast, coming up from the sea, having ten horns, world-wide influence, and led by a man. In Daniel 7, there are four beasts coming from the sea. The 4th Beast has 10 horns and devours the whole earth. From among his horns comes a little horn [a earthly power] with eyes of a man. The Beast is Revelation and the Little Horn of Daniel have the same description so far!

2. What other qualities do The Beast and The Little Horn share?
    Daniel 7:25. "And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time."
Note:The Beast and the Little Horn are one of the same system, as both are guilty of Blasphemy, as noted in Lesson 9.(*) Both rule the same 42 months- (*), both wears out [persecutes God's saints] they share the qualities!

                         BIBLICAL MEANING OF "A TIME".
    A time equals a year. A times equals two years, and the dividing of time equals half a year. See Daniel 4:16,23,32,: 7:25, based on Ezekiel 4:16 and Numbers 14:34 one day  = one year. Therefore, a time, times, and half time means 3.5 years, or 1260 day/years. as the Bible's months are 12 x 30 days being one year of 3260 days.

3. Where do we see The Little Horn enforcing a mark?
    Daniel 7:25. "And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time."
    Revelation 13:15-16. "And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.  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:"

NOTE: What is this IMAGE?   IT'S the man-made Commandments, the FIRST DAY WORSHIP, that most Christains, although "UN LEARNED" follow this systems laws. This is THEIR IMAGE, THEIR MARK if you will. Rememeber God' s Word said "Think to change times and laws? Well if you look at any Covert's Catechism of Catholic Doctrine, you'll find that God's 2 law [Exodus 20-1-17} has been removed, the 4th [their 3rd] has been greatly reduced, as has ll 10] and as all know about the 10 Laws, they SPLIT the 10th into two parts!

    In Rev. Peter Gelermann C.SS.R. "The Convert's Catechism of Catholic Doctrine, P.50 we read:
"Question: 'Which day is the Sabbath?' "
"Answer: ' Saturday is the Sabbath day.' "
"Question: ' We do we observe Sunday instead of the Saturday?' "
"Answer: ' We observe Sunday instead of Saturday because the Catholic Church transferred the solemnity from Saturday to Sunday. ' "

NOTE: This system, this Little horn claims that she has the power to change the sabbath from The Sabbath day to Sunday, the first day of the week! Yet for man/men to assume the role and power of God is Blasphemy against GOD! 
  John 10:33.. "The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God. "

NOTE: (J.B.) How can it be more plain, that Sunday worship is of man only. thus PAGAN SUN worship holdover?  Yet is this not what Satan is so very good at, deceiving mankind, to move away from the Christ Jesus his enemy?  SELAH...{.chew in this for a while and think!}  ARE YOU. . . .beginning to see, that near the end, there shall be but two camps of people? (1) Those that obey GOD and (2) the rest that obey men? 
QUESTION "Who is able to save YOU for the eternity? God or men? All must choose, even those who have not made their choice, have chosen to obey men and thus Satan!

5. Why do Protestants observe Sunday in place of the Saturday the 7th Day Sabbath of the Bible?
    Revelation 13:3. "And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast." [emphasis mine].
Note: All the world wonders, read ---follows after the Catholic Church in observing Sunday. Even the Atheistic Communists take Sunday of, thus a day of rest. By the way the Greek word for Sabbath Sabtismo actually means rest, as it does in the Hebrew!
    It is for this very reason they claim they are in the right, because All Christians follow their law, thus paying tribute to the Romish Church!   The Catechism continues....

     From the Convert's Catechism of Catholic Doctrine, p.50.

"Q: 'Have you any other way of proving that the Church has the power to institute festivals of precept?
"A; 'Had she not such power, she could not have done that in which all modern religionists agree with her-- she could not have substituted the observance of Sunday the first day of the week, for the observance of Saturday the seventh day; for which there is no Scripture authority.

Note (J.B.) I personally thank them for their open honesty, but to me it shows an arrogance that is matched only by Satan himself!  How say YOU?

6. What should we do when man's laws conflict with God' s laws?
     Acts 5:29. "Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men.?
    WHY?
    Mark 7:7. "Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. "
Note: Even under force, we must obey GOD.  Please know, that Christ has the power over death, it is HE who will resurrect the just and latter the unjust! But one who seeks to save their life, by obeying men, shall be "Blotted Out" [as if never even existed] by being cast into the Lake of Fire at the 2nd Resurrection!  see.....

Mark 8:35. "For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel's, the same shall save it."

HOWEVER PROTESTANT MINISTERS ADMIT THE BIBLE DON'T SUPPORT SUNDAY WORSHIPS.

BAPTISTS: [not 7th Day Baptists] "..the Sabbath...was not Sunday  There is no Scriptural evidence for the change of the Sabbath institution from the seventh to the first day if the week " Dr. E. T. Hiscox author of the "Baptist Manual".

AMERICAN CONGREGATIONALIST: "The current notion that Christ and His apostles substituted the first day for the seventh day is absolutely without any authority in the New Testament."  Dr. Lyman Abbot.

METHODIST; "It is true there is no positive command for infant baptism. Nor is there any for keeping the first day of the week,. Many believe that Christ changed the Sabbath. But from His own words we see that He came for no such purpose. Those who believe that Jesus changed the Sabbath base it only on a supposition." Amos Binney

PRESBYTERIAN: There is... no hint in the New Testament about abstaining from work on Sunday. Canon Eyton.

THE WATCHMAN BAPTIST: " The Scriptures nowhere call the first day of the week the Sabbath. 

7. Is the Mark of the Beast a literal mark or a branding?
    Deuteronomy 6:6-8. "And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart: And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.  And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes."

Frontlets--- Hewbrew- Towphaphah-- to-faw-faw. to bind; a filler for the forehead, your frontal lobe of one brain. in other "Knowledge".
Note: Revelation 13 says that mark of the Beast would be in the right hand or in the forehead. The right hand is symbolic of actions or deeds in support of {Ecclesiastes 9:10, Isaiah 59:6]. The forehead represents the thoughts, the minds, the heart, or the desires one a person. The Bible says God' s Words will be in the hearts.... From the heart, there will be a sing [of work for and or in support of] via actions and as frontlets between the eyes [your minds]. Between the eyes is one mind/forehead, where our minds are [Exodus 13:16 and Deuteronomy 11:18]

8. What does the Papacy claim as "Their Mark of Authority"?
    Revelation 13:15. "And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed."

Note: We MUST know and accept, that from about A.D.100, Roman pagan governors, used force in attempt to have all Christians and Jews, at that time forwards, to worship the Caesars! When in 331 A.D, as Constantine gave the Roman Church Bishop his seat of power and office, this continued but with a twist of "Worship as I say,or die!" Please KNOW their doctrine holds that the Papacy is and has the ultimate say of what is heresy, and who is a heretic, and that they claim to hold the power to kill all heretics! {To prevent the spread of this disease?}
    Therefor,  also in the latter days, the ISSUE IS WORSHIP,  forced worship on pain of prison or death. Note at what they say:

     "Sunday [worship] is OUR MARK of authority... The Church is above the Bible, and this transference of Sabbath observance is proof of that fact." THE CATHOLIC RECORD, LONDON ONTARIO CANADA. SEPTEMBER 1, 1923.

"Perhaps the boldest thing... the Church ever did, happened in the first [actually officially in 3rd] century. The Holy day, the Sabbath, was changed from Saturday to Sunday. "The Day of the Lord" was chosen, not from any directions noted in the Scriptures, but from the church's sense of its own power.              {OUR MARK OF AUTHORITY]... People who think that he Scriptures should be the sole authority, should logically become Seventh day Adventist, and keep Saturday holy." 
Sentinel, Saint Catherine Catholic Church, Algonac, Michigan, May 21, 1995.

(j.b.) I'll say it again, I give them my thanks for their honesty!

9. Does the Beast, or the Papacy, receive help to enforce his Mark?
     Revelation 13:1. " And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon."
      Revelation 13:12. "And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed."

NOTE: This new Beast, comes out of the earth. If the sea [as in a sea of faces] represents a populated region Revelation 17:15. "And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues."--- then the earth represents an unpopulated region. He also has a lamb like, or Christian like features,. He arises just after the deadly wound for the first beast is inflicted in 1798 {see V.10] . What powerful nation arose after 1798, from a thinly populated nation, and that had Christian principles from its start? Yes, the U.S.of A.. But this beast changes from being as a lamb, to speaking like the dragon. He eventually causes, or forces by Federal Law, the earth to worship the first Beast, "Sunday Worship Laws,". This will force many, to keep from prison or death, to give up the principles of Religious Freedom and support the Papacy in forcing their religious laws, upon all and force Sunday Worship, the worship of the Sun god!
(j.b.) Satan gives not one whit, about which day YOU and   I worship God as long as it's not on GOD' s Holy Day the Seventh day Sabbath!

   (j.b.)  WHY?  
Well, ANYONE can claim to worship ANYTHING, on ANY DAY but note this matter of the 4th Commandment!
     Exodus 20:11. "For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day, and hallowed it."

BY human worship on the SEVENTH DAY, GOD' s HOLY SABBATH, we actually acknowledge that GOD is the Creator, thus worship is relegated to GOD only! Worship ANY OTHER DAY, and whom do YOU worship. . . . .? {Men have in past made and called gods  many things.} Who but Satan, AND his human allies, does man worship on any day other than the ONE GOD selected?  THINK ------SELAH!

10. What does the 2nd Beast (USA) do to help the 1st Beast?
    Revelation 13:15-16. "And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.  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:"
Note: The 2nd Beast causes the earth to worship by saying they should make an image  to the first beast [Papacy]. The image in Daniel was a likeness of the king they were forced, under a penalty of being burned alive in a fiery furnace, in violation of God's law. Likewise, this forced worship of the Beast's image will also violate God's laws regrading the 7th day Sabbath's worship.    THIS SHALL BE THE M.OB. THE MARK OF THE BEST!

11. How will the 2nd Beast help enforce the this Mark?
     Revelation 13:15. "And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed."
     Revelation 13:16. "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:"

NOTE: A,nation, any nation speaks to the people by the Laws it enacts ts and enforces agree? Thus  a nation causes by enforcing those laws. The Bible speaks saying "he causes all to receive a mark. What does the Universal-Catholic Church claim as its MARK?  [Sunday worship]   (j.b.)That's what Revelation 13 to 18 is ALL about, WORSHIP either GOD's way or the ways of man!

Office of Cardinal Gibbons, through Chancellor C.F. Thomas, Nov 11. 1895.  "Of course the 
Catholic Church claims the change was her act... and the mark of her ecclesiastical power and authority in religious matters."

12. Does anyone or anybody have this mark. . .NOW?
      Revelation 13:17. "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."
NOTE: NO! This Sunday?Sabbath issue will divide the whole of earth peoples into two camps.: Those who follow and keep the Commandments of God, and whop keep the law of man!
      John 14:15. "If ye love me, keep my commandments." [(j.b.) these are the words of Christ!]
No, none will have the mark of the beast until it is ENFORCED by law or economic sanctions. The Bible is plain, one MUST have this Mark of the Beast to be able to buy or sell anything!
   Therefore each must choose: God's True Sabbath, or Satan's counterfeit one on Sunday? For the latter is man's substitute for the Sabbath, which they call the  Biblically  wrong,  the Lord's  Day

Here are just a few verses that have the Lord's day within them, and it never touches any day but the Seventh day Sabbath! Gen2:4. Exo 20:10. 31:15,17,35:2; Lev, 23:3 Deut 5:14,10:4,18:16. Jos 4:14
Matthew 12:8  "For the Son of man is Lord even of the Sabbath day."
Revelation 1:10  "I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet,"  (j.b) many teach this was Sunday the first day of the week but what does it actually say? In the Lord's Day, now read Matt above again, and know this IS the Bible's Sabbath the 7th day day Friday sunset to Saturday' s sunset! How can man think he can change that which is written in stone, by GOD Himself? What size of an ego does this require?

13. What are the consequences of choosing this Mark? Or what's the cost?
    Revelation 14:9-10. "And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:"

Note: Ones who have chosen to accept the mark, to be able to buy and sell, will have chosen to live without God. Thus, as HE is the very source of all life, they shall be cast into the Lake of Fire's one time use, and be turned to ashes.....Revelation 20:14-15. "And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire."
Malachi 4:3. "And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I shall do this, saith the LORD of hosts."

Note: OUR SUNDAY VISITOR, CATHOLIC WEEKLY FEB. 5. 1950. "THE Protestant mind doesn't realize that in ...observing Sunday... they are accepting the authority of the Pope." 

14. What will God's saints do in this situation?
      Revelation 14:12. "Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus."

There shall be a small group, who will trust in Christ, to feed to water to protect them and remain loyal in the last days even unto death because....  Luke 9:24  "For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it."

So dear reader, where do YOU place your trust, in our Creator GOD, who has the might and the will to save you, or trust man, who can't even save self?
