Part VIII-A... the Mark of the Beast We're Coming on Down to the End of This Series on Prophecy... This Beast That Once Was, T Part VIII-a... The Mark of the Beast We’re coming on down to the end of this series on prophecy... This beast that once was, then was not; is now an eighth; and brings us to this study which is on (The Mark of that Beast). So I hope these studies are helping us understand God’s Word as we’re looking at Bible prophecy. It’s most important that we understand where we are. What says the Bible, the blessed Bible? This should my only question be. Prophecy is fulfilling, the end is nearing. What says the Word of God to me? That’s what we want to find out. That’s what we want to know. We’ve actually had two studies... or two series on prophecy... the first one we did was Five Have Fallen and the second part was about a beast that was, and is not, one is, and another has not yet come ; but when he does come , he must remain for only a little while. The beast that was, and now is not , is himself an eighth king, is of the seven, and goeth into perdition. Those are the two studies on the prophecy of the beast. This has been a very, very important study because this is an area that most people misunderstand. And neither do they understand what the scripture teaches about life in Jesus Christ. This study is about The Mark of the Beast... We want to find out what it is. That’s what we want to know. Well first of all, we need to be very, very clear in our thinking as to who the beast is. We need to establish that... Have a clear understanding of that. Also we want to be very clear in our thinking of what the image to the beast is. We need to also understand clearly what the mark is. How does a person receive this mark and what’s involved in that. Now the scripture is very, very clear on this subject. So it’s not something that we have to be in doubt about. It’s very clear about what the Mark of the Beast is. So let’s follow along as we take a look at this mark of the beast. I think you’ll find it to be a subject that will help you see clearly what the scripture teaches. Heavenly Father, as we study Your Word, as we look at this subject, as we pray for the Holy Spirit in a special way. We pray that He may be present. That He will give us the insight, the knowledge, and the understanding. That we may purpose in our hearts to stand on Your side and to follow You and to walk with You. To let You be our God and that we will say “We are Your people, You be our God.” We pray that we will walk and follow You by faith. We ask that You grant us that opportunity and that privilege is our pray; In Christ’s name, Amen. Well over the years, I just can’t count all the different things that I have heard people say that the mark of the beast was. I even remember when they said that somebody’s going to come around with a branding iron and is going to brand 666 on your forehead. And everybody’s going to receive the mark of the beast. And many people believed that that’s the way it was going to happen. And then as time went on, people said when they came out with social security numbers they said... “Don’t take one of those things. If you take a social security number, you’re going to get the mark of the beast... without question you’re going to have it.” 1 And then I can remember... I was just a kid at the time of the Second World War and they came out with rationing stamps. And they said... “Don’t take them. If you take those rationing stamps, you’re going to get the mark of the beast. That’s just for sure... you’ll get it.” But they didn’t. And then, just here in the last few years, they talked about the computer chip. Saying... “Oh, somebody’s going to come around and they’re going to put in your forehead a computer chip and that will be the mark of the beast.” So you hear all kinds of things about the mark of the beast, what it was and so forth. We need to understand what the mark of the beast is. It’s Very, very important that we understand where we stand. Well you see the scripture divides things into two’s. Not threes... it divides things into two’s. It talks about the saved and the lost; the sheep and the goats; the righteous and the unrighteous. When it comes to the mark of the beast, It’s divided into two’s... only two. The one’s that have the mark of the beast... and the ones that don’t. Let’s watch what the scripture says about it. These are the people that receive the mark of the beast. Contrasting those people you read in Revelation 15 and it says... Here are the people that don’t have the mark of the beast. So you have two classes... those that have the mark of the beast; those that do not have the mark of the beast. Therefore, for you and I, and I don’t care where you are in the world, anywhere in the world you have to make a decision, a decision as to whether you’re going to be on God’s side or whether you’re going to be on the beast’s side... Because there’s only two classes... that’s all there is. And so in this study we want to clearly identify, first who the beast is. Now the beast that’s referred to here is the beast mentioned in Revelation the 13 th Chapter. But we found out in our last study last study... the last presentation we found out that the best of Revelation 13 is also the one that’s pictured in Revelation 17. OK? Because he’s the one that was, is not, yet is, so let’s take a look at what the scripture says about this beast here in Revelation 13, and I have italicized different parts in these texts to help us identify who it is... 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. 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. And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed... and the entire world wondered after the beast. 2 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? 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 . And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven . 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. 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. If any man has an ear, let him hear. 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. 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. 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, who’s deadly wound was healed. And he doeth great wonders , so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, 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. 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. 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.

  • Il Papa E I Papi
    IL PAPA E I PAPI Secondo il cattolicesimo, tutta la questione inerente il papa va ricollegata alle seguenti frasi (altre risultano molto indirette e secondarie): 1. Mat 16.16-19: v “Tu es Christus, filius Dei vivi” (Tu sei il Cristo, il figliolo del Dio vivente = Dio venuto da Dio, Dio fatto carne-Figlio) v “beatus es Simon bar Yona, quia caro et sanguis non revelavit tibi, sed Pater meus, qui in celi est; et ego dico tibi, quia tu es Petrus, ET SUPER HANC PETRAM AEDIFICABO ECCLESIAM MEAM” (tu sei Beato Simone figlio di Yona, perché non la carne e il sangue t’hanno rivelato questo, ma il Padre mio ch’è nei cieli; ed Io altresì ti dico: tu sei Pietro, e su questa pietra io edificherò la mia chiesa) v Et tibi dabo claves regni caelorum; et quodcumque ligaveris super terram erit ligatum et in caelis, et quodcumque solveris super terram erit solutum et in caelis” (e ti darò le chiavi del regno dei cieli; e tutto ciò che avrai legato sulla terra sarà legato anche nei cieli, e tutto ciò che avrai sciolto in terra sarà sciolto anche nei cieli) 2. Giov 21.15-17: v “pasce agnos meos” (pasci i miei agnelli) v “pasce oves meas” (pasci le mie pecore) v “pasce oves meas” (pasci le mie pecore) E’ soprattutto da questi passaggi BiBlici che il cattolicesimo deduce l’autorità del “pontefice” e afferma quanto segue: “è stato da Cristo Signore promesso e conferito immediatamente e direttamente al beato apostolo Pietro non solo un primato di onore, ma un vero e proprio “primato di giurisdizione”: egli è stato da Cristo stabilito: v “principe” di tutti gli apostoli v “capo visibile” di tutta la chiesa militante L’enciclica prosegue ancora affermando: “chi nega questo sia anatema”!

  • VICARIUS FILII DEI 666, the Number of the Beast
    VICARIUS FILII DEI 666, The Number of the Beast Rev 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: Rev 13:17 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. Rev 13:18 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. Note that according to verse 17, there are three different characteristics that distinguish the beast: his mark (of authority) his name the number of his name (666). It might be argued by some that 666 must be applied to one man's name, and that this will then help identify him as the antichrist. I would offer the following verse to show that 666 need not apply solely to a man's name: Rev 19:16 And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS. The same Greek word translated as name (onoma: G3686) that appears in Revelation 13:17­18 is also used in chapter 19:16, so clearly the word can also apply to a title, and not just one man's name. Now, we are told that it takes a certain understanding and wisdom to discern just how this number is actually applied. Based on the fact that 666 can apply to a title, below are several words and phrases that have been put forth over the centuries as probable solutions to the enigma of 666.

(Deutéronome 13/1-3). Comme ces versets le prouvent, L'Eternel peut permettre à des démons d'émettre des prophéties qui peuvent se réaliser pour mettre à l'épreuve ses serviteurs. "[...] Dieu, en effet, n’a pas envoyé son Fils dans le monde pour qu’il juge le monde, mais pour que le monde soit sauvé par lui.

  • Halloween: Not for Followers of Christ ● Halloween Or All Hallow’S Eve
    Halloween: Not For Followers of Christ ● Halloween or All Hallow’s eve. ( lookup Hallowed in Funk and Wagnalls dictionary) ● Eleventh Edition of the Encyclopedia Britannica: “HALLOWE’EN, or All Hallows Eve, ​ ​ the name given to the 31st of October as the vigil of Hallowmas or All Saints’ Day. Though now known as little else but the eve of the Christian festival, Hallowe’en and its formerly attendant ceremonies long antedate Christianity. The two chief characteristics of ancient Hallowe’en were the lighting of bonfires and the belief that of all nights in the year this is the one during wich ghosts and witches are most likely to wander abroad. Now on or about the first of November the Druids held their great autumn festival and lighted fires in honour of the sun god in thanksgiving for the harvest. Further, it was a Druidic belief that on the eve of this festival, Saman [Samhain, or Satan the devil], lord of death, called together the wicked souls that within the past twelve months had been condemned to inhabit the bodies of animals. “Thus it is clear that the main celebrations of Hallowe’en were purely Druidical, and this is further proved by the fact that in parts of Ireland the 31st of October was, and even still is, known as Oidhche Shamhna, “Vigil of Saman.” On the Druidic ceremonies were grafted some of the characteristics of the Roman festival in honour of Pomona held about the first of November, in which nuts and apples, as representing the winter store of fruits, played an important part.

  • Vicarius Fillii Dei
    VICARIUS FILLII DEI by Campbell M Gold (2008) CMG Archives http://campbellmgold.com --()-- Vicar of the Son of God (Vicarius Filii Dei) and the Number of the Beast - 666 Is the Pope the antichrist? Many have asked this question, and many have linked the Pope with the beast/antichrist of the Book of Revelation. I n support of this hypothesis, it is suggested that the ‘number’ of the beast or antichrist, as revealed by John as 666, equates to the Pope ’s title of, ‘Vicarius Filii Dei ’ (Vicar of the Son of God). This claim was strongly presented by the Seventh-day Adventist, Uriah Smith, in his book, The United States in the Light of Prophecy : The pope wears upon his pontifical crown in jeweled letters, this title: "Vicarius Filii Dei," "Viceregent of the Son of God;" the numerical value of which title is just six hundred and sixty- six The most plausible supposition we have ever seen on this point is that here we find the number in question. It is the number of the beast, the papacy; it is the number of his name, for he adopts it as his distinctive title; it is the number of a man, for he who bears it is the "man of sin." (The United States in the Light of Prophecy, Uriah Smith, Battle Creek, Michigan: Seventh- day Adventist Publishing Association (1884), 4th edition, p.224) Papal Tiara It is suggested that the papal tiara has inscribed upon it the designation, ‘Vicarius Filii Dei ’ (Vicar of the Son of God). A protestant woman visiting Rome, in or around 1832, said that she ‘witnessed’ Pope Gregory XVI wearing a crown with the words on it Moreover, the papal tiara was routinely worn, and seen, before and after a Pontifical Mass at the Vatican, as noted in the following Catholic Encyclopaedia entry extract: Pontifical Mass The solemn pontifical Mass celebrated by the pope in St.

  • 13. Calculating and Identifying the Mark of the Beast
    CALCULATING AND IDENTIFYING THE MARK OF THE BEAST - 6 6 6 By George Lujack Satan’s 666-numerical signature is represented in various manifestations. This article will present some examples in which Satan’s 666-signature is already present in this world, and how to calculate and identify his number. REVELATION 13:18: Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is 666. Scripture instructs those with wisdom to CALCULATE the number of the beast. The Antichrist and the beast will rule from Rome. These are all the Roman numbers: MDCLXVI. Add up (calculate) all the different Roman numerals and the total = 1,666. Exclude the Roman numeral M = 1,000 and the total equals 666. D (500) + C (100) + L (50) + X (10) + V (5) + I (1) = 666 REVELATION 13:1: Then I stood on the sand of the sea. And I saw a beast rising up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and on his horns ten crowns, and on his heads a blasphemous name. What is this “blasphemous name” on the “heads” of the beast? It is the crown worn upon the heads of the Catholic popes throughout the ages that bears a blasphemous inscription with a Roman numerical equivalent that equals 666. Vicarius Filii Dei (Latin: Vicar or representative of the Son of God) is inscribed on the Catholic pope’s crown and is the blasphemous name spoken of in Revelation 13:1. The Catholic pope is not Messiah’s (Christ’s) vicar or representative on Earth.

  • Justinian's Metamorphosis from Chief of Staffs to Th
    International Journal of Humanities and Social Science Vol. 7, No. 1; January 2017 538 A.D. and the Transition from Pagan Roman Empire to Holy Roman Empire: Justinian’s Metamorphosis from Chief of Staffs to Theologian*1 Keum Young Ahn; Gerard Damsteegt; Edwin de Kock; Sook Young Kim; Jhung Haeng Kwon; Myun Ju Lee; Nicolas Miller; Dae Geuk Nam; Trevor O’ Reggio; William H. Shea; Alberto R. Treiyer; Koot van Wyk Emeritii, or Retired, or Active Professors and Researchers Abstract The year 538 A.D. became the turning point in the history of the Roman Empire since so many aspects on political, administrative and economical levels were already switched off that when Justinian declared himself to be a theologian from this year and no longer a soldier, he crossed the barrier of his mandate between what is purely civil obligation and what is religious obligation, similarly to Constantine before, and entered in competition with the papal function and this role is evidence of Justinian’s ongoing caesaro-papism. The quest for unification of the empire by unification of the church, the fever for church-building projects with his wife Theodora, the persecution of enemies of the church and heretics, his disdain with the Sabbath although his second name was Sabbatini, his support for suppressing any eschatological fever in line with the church fathers and Oecumenius and yet trying to build the ‘Kingdom of God’ on earth, all this indicate the problem 538 was for the Roman Empire and the Catholic Church. Archaeological and historical original sources of Justinian and contemporaries of popes, biographer of Justinian and a commentator on Revelation (Oecumenius) are very revealing of these times and the shift or transition of what belonged to the Roman Empire handed over since 538 A.D.

While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)”. If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure you of complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark it is an indication that the film inspector noticed either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, or duplicate copy. Unless we meant to delete copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed, you will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. If copyrighted materials were deleted you will find a target note listing the pages in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photo­ graphed the photographer has followed a definite method in "sectioning” the material. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again—beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete.
