The Mark of the Antichrist in Study

By -
Make no mistake. Time will soon come when people will one day accept the mark of the Antichrist and without it no man will be able to buy or sell. The penalties will be stiff, really stiff. Verses associated with the mark of the Beast and what it really is as to really help understanding of what it really is and to remove any misconceptions:

  • Revelation 13:16-18-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: 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. 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.
  • Revelation 14:9-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,
  • Revelation 14:11-And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the MARK of his name.
  • Revelation 15:2-And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his MARK, and over the number of his name, stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God. Rev 15:2
  • Revelation 16:2-And the first went, and poured out his vial upon the earth; and there fell a noisome and grievous sore upon the men which had the MARK of the beast, and upon them which worshipped his image. Rev. 16:2
  • Revelation 19:20-And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the MARK of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone. Rev. 19:20
  • Revelation 20:4-And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his MARK upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.

At first it seems to be merely an economic issue but it isn't- it's all about worship. Here's the truth- unless a person first agrees to renounce any faith he has on God and worships the Antichrist as "God" in the Tribulation Period, he/she will not by any means be awarded the 666 mark- he/she is an outlaw that will not be able to enjoy the benefits of the New World Order. Common sense- why would the New World Order issue the mark of the Antichrist to anybody who refuses to worship the Antichrist? A model similar to it would be like the imperial cults were the head of the state was also worshiped as a god. In ancient Rome, emperor worship became the way of life and unless one agreed to worship the emperor, he/she was an outlaw already.

Now what can be major signs are in there for the mark of the Beast as a coming reality? Here they are:
  • Revived Roman Empire- Make no mistake, the Roman Empire is coming to a revival. Daniel was clear with the statue in Daniel 2 to the fourth beast in Daniel 7 that a new Roman empire is coming. It was spoken quite vaguely but Christians today get to witness the rise of the modern day Roman Empire in the form of the European Union which claims to have the "common Christian heritage" linking the Catholics and Orthodox with the real fundamental Christians and other parodies of Christianity in the process.
  • An ID system that will soon destroy people's privacy. Well today's ID system is not yet the mark of the Antichrist but it's certainly paving way.
  • Today, Communism's influence is returning. Dead? Not at all. Communism today is nothing more than like the rider of the white horse of the four horsemen, coming in peace but by peace it will destroy many (Daniel 8:25). An example is how the promise of peace and stability was used by Vladimir Lenin, Mao Zedong, Pol Pot and Fidel Castro led a revolution in the name of "peace". Many joined them in hopes of peace but they never got it. It's all about a bow without arrows- Communist leaders don't have weapons, their followers fight for them.
  • Microchips are used in today's technology. It's not sinful to have microchips but sooner and later, it will be during the Tribulation period for the reason of the 666 mark. You can have all the microchips today but NEVER the mark of the Antichrist. An interesting point is should a microchip burst under the skin, it will cause grievous sore in that area.
  • The control of the food and resources committee by the governments. The Unholy See didn't want those secrets to come out but since it did, it has helped fulfill Matthew 24:14 to greater heights that even a minority of Christians is still a HUGE number that can't be left underestimated. Soon enough, people will do anything for food even if they have to worship the Antichrist. A good example of food and resource control being done today is storing a lot of supply until they rot or purposely destroying them to create a crisis that didn't previously exist as a means to make people submit to a godless government. The governments of today have forgotten who created the government... GOD!
  • Italy right now is gaining its power in the European Union. Italy happens to be the fourth beast.
  • In the European Union, there is an empty seat numbered 666 and it's for ROME. Will the next Prime Minister of Italy be the last?
  • Don't forget- Ash Wednesday is preparing and grooming people to receive the mark. Not only on Ash Wednesday but also various rituals in Catholicism are conditioning people to receive a mark on either the right hand or on the forehead. Not surprisingly, Catholic Communist head of states proposed a budget onAsh Wednesday 2009for a national budget on biochips.
  • Plus, people are getting groomed to receive the Antichrist with signs and lying wonders in 2 Thessalonians 2:9.

On the other hand, must be aware of the fact that credit cards or any chipped card today or the ID system is NOT the mark of the Beast (although it will be usable in the future). As of right now, nobody can accidentally take it. Reading back to the verses on the mark of the Antichrist, they are always associated with worship. As said, Christians will not be present during the Tribulation period after a series of grueling events they will have to suffer before the Blessed Hope.

Even so, come Lord Jesus Christ!
