RECEIVING THE MARK OF THE BEAST

RECEIVING THE MARK OF THE BEAST 4

We will now put scriptures together and come out with the answer to this question and mystery of the mark of the beast.

Rev 16:13-14

13 And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet.

14 For they are the spirits of devils, woring miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.

RECEIVING THE MARK OF THE BEAST 5

The spirit of the antichrist is already at work and very many people have unknowingly aligned themselves with him to promote satanic agenda against GOD and man.

7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. [2 Thessalonians 2:7]

The average man on earth mind does not incline towards GOD but rather tilts towards the mundane. One of the most important thing that affects the generality of men is money. Many men love to have money to a fault and it is therefore not a coincidence when the scripture stated:

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. Revelation 13:17

RECEIVING THE MARK OF THE BEAST 6

Had the condition or rather the penalty for refusal to accept this mark been hinged on any other facet of human endeavor it would have been easy to refuse accepting this mark. Let us say the scripture says: And any one who refused to accept the mark will not be allowed to receive an education, important as education is many people can still afford to do without having one.

But now let us be realistic, how does one survive for seven years without participating in an economic venture? How can a parent sit down and watch his family starve without doing something to provide them with food to eat? That period is the worst period of suffering and persecutions a man will ever experience on earth.

RECEIVING THE MARK OF THE BEAST 7

The Jews had been promised a Messiah. Prior to his coming will be an Elijah. Both the messiah and the Elijah came but they were not aware that Jesus was that messiah and John the Baptist was the Elijah that they so desperately wanted to see, so they killed them both.

Matt 17:13

13 Then the disciples understood that he spake unto them of John the Baptist.

One of the hallmark of the Antichrist manifestation is the area of finance. With this weapon satan knows that he can control the minds and emotions of many mortals. From the physical point of view there is a very thin divide between the wealth that comes from GOD and the riches from Mammon. It takes spiritual discipline and very high level of maturity to distinguish between them.
