READ: REVELATION: God's Word is most clear about what is involved with the "mark of the beast" and when it will be administered. There will be other HIGHLY DRAMATIC events that WILL occur at the same time. This beast WILL have power over the entire world. The false prophet WILL use supernatural signs to deceive the masses.
UNDERSTAND. You cannot have the "mark" without the man known as the beast and all his trappings. EVEN MORE, the mark is not something one can take without knowing it. This can be seen by looking at what happens to those who take it. READ REVELATION 14. (vs.9-10) also.
So, what is this mark?
As with any Bible prophecy, we must allow the Bible to interpret itself. Notice what is stated right after Revelations 14:9-10. Verse 12 begins to make clear what actions are tied to the "mark": "Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus".
Those who do not take the mark keep the commandments of God. Conversely, the beast will lead people to disobey God. WHEN the beast appears on Earth, there will be one command of GOD most tied to his mark: the fourth commandment to "remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. (Ex.20:8).
So, the Sabbath is a sign. "And it shall be for a sign unto you UPON YOUR HAND, and for A MEMORIAL BETWEEN YOUR EYES..." (REV.13:9).
REMEMBER that the mark of the beast will be in the right ARM and FOREHEAD. (SIMILARLY).
CAN YOU FIGURE OUT THE DIFFERENCE?
UNDERSTAND the point here. GOD does not physically mark those who obey the fourth commandment. The mark of the beast will not physical either. Rather, this language symbolically shows actions the (right arm) and decisions made in the mind (the forehead).
Looking at history helps make clear what will happen when the events of Revelation 13 finally come to pass.
" Now understand this most basic point". The mark is plainly identified as one pertaining to the beast. It is the "mark of the beast". Other of my books have carefully identified the beast as the Roman Empire, with much proof. This is also the Holy Roman Empire through its eight revivals, or resurrections. Therefore, the mark of the beast is the mark of the eighth and last head of the (Holy) Roman Empire.
Keep in mind that the Bible uses the term "beast" to symbolize civil governments, while a church or religious system is often represented as a "woman'"-(Rev.12:13-17). The Bible does not speak of the "mark" of the woman", but rather of the "mark of the beast" that the woman rides.
Is this clear?
While the beast has much greater power than she has, Like any horse, camel, or elephant has greater power than its rider, the rider- in this case the "woman"-steers the animal to do its bidding.
SO, the beast WILL be a Civil leader and the false prophet a false church leader.
One final reason: This great false church steers, guides and directs-"causes"-others to receive the mark. SHE does NOT directly administer it herself, but rather causes all in the empire to accept-"receive"- the mark. She is the same woman that caused the martyrdom of saints throughout the ages. The mark is received in the right hand and the forehead- and it is a kind of brand of the
(Holy) Roman Empire, not of the church. This mark will be brought-caused-upon the entire world"! Throughout history, there have been only six resurrections of this Holy Roman Empire. There still a seventh to come before the eighth that will include the beast and false prophet.
So, what is happening in each state and other countries is frightful and disturbing, however, I suggest all of us/me to, to keep in the WORD, study, research, before fear grips you and causes you to do something that you wish you hadn't.
I don't rightly know where it is in the Bible right now, BUT, "JESUS SAYS," MY PEOPLE WILL DIE FOR LACK OF KNOWLEDGE".
BE WISE, PRAY FOR WISDOM, UNDERSTANDING, FAITH, and FOLLOW YOUR CONSCIENCE, and learn what the SABBATH IS SINCE JESUS GAVE HIMSELF FOR US. AMEN.
