Here is the Mark. First, how did he cause them to accept the Mark? By Deception! The people of the earth not only think Christ has returned but think they are taking part in His Kingdom!
Notice, it says in, not on your forehead. What is in your forehead? Your brain. We are talking about a spiritual Mark in your forehead, meaning you have bought into the deception of the false messiah believing Satan is Christ. The Mark in your right hand symbolizes your work. So not only do you believe that Satan is Jesus Christ but you are doing his work as well. The people of the earth will be over-joyed and jumping at the opportunity to take part in the perceived Christ’s Government.
Think for a moment. A visible Mark of any kind much less “666” on someone’s head or hand certainly would not fool anyone, especially a Christian. Please now turn with me to,
Revelation 7:3
3 “Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads.“
In the first two verses the angels are holding back the four winds which signify the end. The seven angels with the seven trumpets cannot start to blow them until God’s servants are Sealed. Where are they Sealed? In there foreheads. Meaning they believe God’s Word absolute therefore they cannot be deceived. The Seal is not some physical Mark. If you are not Sealed with God’s Word you will not only be deceived by Satan but you will be helping his Governmental Beast along. Those that are Sealed will not have a “777” tattooed on their forehead just as those that are deceived will not have a “666” on their forehead. God’s Word is not fantasy, it is real life folks. Let’s look at a second witness.
Revelation 14:1
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.”
These are the Saints from Revelation 7 that went through the Tribulation. This time it is stated that it is written. Where? In their forehead. In their brains. If you are looking for a physical Mark you will be deceived. The people of the earth who whore after the false messiah will not have a physical Mark, that would fool no one. The Mark is the thoughts in your brain, what you believe and the actions you take, a spiritual Mark. Returning now to,
Revelation 13:17
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.”
Why would you not be able to buy or sell? If you do not accept Satan the Dragon’s spiritual Mark, you are not accepting him as Christ. Therefore you cannot take part in Satan’s Governmental System. You cannot walk into a store and say bless the Lord that sits in Jerusalem and walk out with food, that would be bowing a knee to Satan and acknowledging him as Christ. Instead you will be an outcast, the people of the earth might even try to harm you. To them, you are disrespecting the perceived Jesus Christ who has shown you miracles right before your very eyes and you still will not believe…
Why? You have been taught the false messiah comes first, therefore you will not be deceived! You have taken the time to read God’s Letter to you with understanding. This is serious business my friends, the whole world will be shouting you down. Can you make that stand for Christ?
Revelation 13:18
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.”
That is Satan’s number. He is the sixth seal, sixth trumpet and sixth vial.
The Mark of the Beast is a spiritual Mark. It is the entire world buying into the fallacy that Satan is Jesus Christ who has brought His Kingdom to reign on earth. It is utter deception!
In Revelation 6:14-15 we read the people of the earth including the kings and great men wish for the mountains to fall on them. At this point, the True Jesus Christ has just made his appearance, which means we are instantly changed into our spiritual bodies. The people wish for this because they finally realize they have been deceived by Satan. Unfortunately, for them it is one day too late…
“My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge”, Hosea 4:6.
