THE MARK OF THE BEAST

THE MARK OF THE BEAST 1

The mark of the beast is one of the most popular phrases or slogans used by Christians. It is by far more popular than its opposite slogan: The mark of Christ. Almost everybody has heard about it but very few people know what this number really means and how it affects our lives for whether we like it or not this mark of the beast affects every human being that lives on earth.

We shall now take a journey of exploration into the world of this wonderful phenomenon called THE MARK OF THE BEAST.

THE MARK OF THE BEAST 2

Rev 13:15-18

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.

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:

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.

18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

Many people are of the opinion that this mark is a physical mark that will be issued to people on their foreheads or on the palms of their hands. This mark is not a physical one. It is similar to: Gal 6:17

17 From henceforth let no man trouble me: for I bear in my body the marks of the Lord Jesus. Christians believe that they carry in their bodies the mark of Christ and they are right but who has ever seen this mark? What does the mark look like and what is the exact position this mark is located in their bodies? I doubt if anyone can answer these questions favorably.

When the mark of the beast is being issued it will be done in so secretive a manner that nobody by merely looking at another man can tell if he has the mark or not.

Spiritual matters are not analyzed the way physical things are. Many of the visions and prophecies in the scriptures are metaphoric in their dispositions. There are many things I see in the visions of my mind which troubles me. An example is this: I see two great stars approach, one from above and the other from beneath. They meet, danced and merged together as one and then disappeared. Then another star less glorious than the former two appeared and unto it was given power to wreck much havoc on the sons of men. This particular evil star cannot be revealed until the former two have disappeared.
