The Beast and His Mark

 

Ten Horned Beast Rising Out Of The Sea

 

And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.  --  Rev 13:1 (KJV)

 

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 seat, and great authority.  --  Rev 13:2 (KJV)

 

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.  --  Rev 13:3 (KJV)

 

And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?  --  Rev 13:4 (KJV)

 

And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.  --  Rev 13:5 (KJV)

 

And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.  --  Rev 13:6 (KJV)

 

And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.  --  Rev 13:7 (KJV)

 

And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.  --  Rev 13:8 (KJV)

 

If any man have an ear, let him hear.  --  Rev 13:9 (KJV)

 

He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.  --  Rev 13:10 (KJV)

 

The symbol of the Beast represents 3 things

2. The Antichrist's Future Kingdom

3.  The Spirit from the Abyss

 

The Person Antichrist

Two Horned Beast Rising Out Of The Earth

 

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.  --  Rev 13:11 (KJV)

 

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.  --  Rev 13:12 (KJV)

 

And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,  --  Rev 13:13 (KJV)

 

And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power 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, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.  --  Rev 13:14 (KJV)

 

Antichrist will either be assasinated

Or

Die the Death of a Shaman

 

The false Prophet will ressurrect him

The Mark of the Antichrist is a RELIGIOUS Mark

 

Where do we first read of a Mark upon a person?

Genesis 4:15

And the LORD said unto him, Therefore whosoever slayeth Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold. And the LORD set a mark upon Cain, lest any finding him should kill him. 

Mark of the covenant of God to protect the life of Cain

Noah had the bow in the sky

Abraham had the Mark of Circumcision

Israel had the Blood on the door

Mark on the faithful in the Book of Ezekiel

Ezekiel 9:4

 

And the LORD said unto him, Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry for all the abominations that be done in the midst thereof.

 

Catholic Bible actually reads to Mark a Cross on the Head

 

Revelation 7:1-4

And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree.

2 And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea,

3 Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads.

4 And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel. 

 

Revelation 9:1-6

And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit. 2 And he opened the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit. 3 And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power. 4 And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads. 5 And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion, when he striketh a man. 6 And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them.

KJV Revelation 14:1

And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father's name written in their foreheads.

KJV Revelation 3:10-12

Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.

11 Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.

12 Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name.


 

And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,  --  Rev 13:13 (KJV)

 

And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power 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, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.  --  Rev 13:14 (KJV)

 

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.  --  Rev 13:15 (KJV)

2 Thessalonians 2:8-12

 

 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: 9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, 10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: 12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

 

 

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:  --  Rev 13:16 (KJV)

 

Casuseth indicates that he enforces the policy of the first beast.

The intention of the great miracles is to entice people to willingly desire, accept, and receive the mark of the beast.

 

 

The word in Greek is charagma which means an

etch, stamp, or engraving

 

The early Greek usage of this word denotes the "bite of a snake"

 

Notice that the Mark is GIVEN instead of  merely forced upon and RECEIVED

 

di,dwmi didomi {did'-o-mee} Meaning:  1) to give one something, to his  advantage 2a1) to bestow a gift 2b) to grant, give to one asking

 

KJV Galatians 6:17

 

From henceforth let no man trouble me: for I bear in my body the marks of the Lord Jesus.

 

sti,gma stigma {stig'-mah}

Meaning:  1) a mark pricked in or branded upon the body. To ancient oriental usage, slaves and soldiers  bore the name or the stamp of their master or commander branded or pricked (cut) into their bodies to  indicate what master or general they belonged to, and there were even some devotee's who stamped  themselves in this way with the token of their gods

STIGMATA

 

 

 

The Mark of Antichrist could be a blood covenant

 

He acknowledges a STRANGE GOD

 

Daniel 11:39

Thus shall he do in the most strong holds with a strange god, whom he shall acknowledge and increase with glory: and he shall cause them to rule over many, and shall divide the land for gain.

 

The Person Antichrist

 

He magnifies himself above every other god before him

 

Daniel 11:36

And the king shall do according to his will; and he shall exalt himself, and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak marvellous things against the God of gods, and shall prosper till the indignation be accomplished: for that that is determined shall be done.

 

He proclaims to be god and sit in the temple

 

2 Thessalonians 2:4

Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.

 

 

The power he uses is not his own

 

Daniel 8:24

And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power: and he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper, and practise, and shall destroy the mighty and the holy people.

 

 

 

He has a covenant with Satan

 

Revelation 13:2

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 seat, and great authority.

 

He commands Satan's power

 

2 Thessalonians 2:9

Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,

 

The 10 Kings are in covenant with him

 

Revelation 17:13

These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast.

 

He confirms his covenant with many

 

Daniel 9:27

And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week:

 

 

 

The False Prophet excersises covenant rights of power

 

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. 13 And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, 14 And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power 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, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.

 

People are accepting a blood covenant marking in the flesh.

Also taking his name as in a blood covenant or marriage

 

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: 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

 

People proclaim that they have cut the covenant with death

 

Isaiah 28:15

Because ye have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with hell are we at agreement; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come unto us: for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves:

 

 

18 And your covenant with death shall be disannulled, and your agreement with hell shall not stand; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, then ye shall be trodden down by it.

 

 

Antichrist is a copy cat and he will copy Jesus.  Jesus made a BLOOD COVENANT and Antichrist will do the same.

 

You will recall that I said that the Catholic Bible in Ezekiel actually reads to Mark a Cross on the Head

 

 

 

Constantine Came To Power In Rome A.D. 274

The Mystic Tau Heart Amulet.  The mystic Tau was called also the sign of life and was worn as a sacred amulet over the heart.  

The Mystic Tau Woven Into Priestly Robes.  The mystic Tau was called also the sign of life and was woven into the priestly garments and robes of the priests

The Sacred Headband Of Bacchus.  The mystic Tau was called also the sign of life and was often depicted in the sacred headband of Bacchus

 

The Egyptian Ra Traversing The Heavens.  In this portion of the Theban Book of the Dead we note that Ra traversed the heavens for millions of years within the Barque.  We see also the ankh in his life, the Egyptian symbol of eternal life.

 

 

 

 

 

          Tertullian informs us that within the mystery religious rites it was common for the initiates to be baptized and marked in the forehead with the tattoo or sign of the Tau or cross.[1]  This was properly called the mark of Mithra.[2] 

 

The Tau was considered to be the most sacred symbol, being a symbol of the sun god's victory over death.  Such rituals were practiced within the Mithraiac cult.  The initiates were called the soldiers of Mithra.  Within this ritual, it was Mithra himself who places the mark, the mystic Tau, upon their foreheads.[3] 

 

          During the days of Antiochus Epiphanes, due to extreme persecution, the Jews were marked in the forehead with the engraving of the ivy leaf to show their allegiance to Bacchus and their disowning of Yahweh.  The ivy leaf was merely a representation of the mystic Tau.

 

In other places the Tau (cross) was used as a sign of Thor's protection (hammer of Thor) or an emblem or monograms of Jupiter (Thor was called the god of thunder and was considered to be equivalent to the Roman god Jupiter) or Osiris.[4]  In all cases it was the sign of the sun god and represented eternal life, or him who had the power of eternal life, and the resurrection from the dead.

Ala Mahozine  -  the god of fortifications

 

There is no god of fortresses or forces known to the world however there is a goddess of forces or fortifications.

Cybele is called the goddess of forces or fortifications

Cybele is the Roman Goddess of Nature

 

Cybele is represented with a tower as a crown on her head why?

 

She was the first to erect fortified cities.  The first city in the world after the flood having towers and encompassing fortifications or walls was Babylon.    Ovid writes that Semiramius, the first queen of Babylon was the one who had the city of Babylon surrounded by a brick wall.  This woman, or goddess if you will, can be identified as Babylon The Great, Mother of Harlots.
