Mark of the beast

[Sabertooth]

Another question..if we are to calculate his number...we are taking letters with numerical value and calculating his number?

That is just it. We don't know, ...yet.

We DO know that his name and the "number of" his name will be two distinct versions of the mark, so numerically analyzing people's names is irrelevant.

I think they have some significance.
Why are we shunned from looking at numbers? Everyone says its evil.

1. There is Biblical numerology, which is a study on how numbers are used in the Bible.
2. There is occultic numerology, where people use some numeric scheme to tell fortunes (or pretend to).

People won't know most likely, if they already did take it/accept it/ or after they do.
It likely will be considered 'normal' life - needed for convenience, security, or some such.

That's what scares me lol.

God is spirit. His words are spirit. The bible is a spiritual book, full of God's words. The mark of the beast is a spiritual mark.

Ecc 3:18 I said in mine heart concerning the estate of the sons of men, that God might manifest them, and that they might see that they themselves are beasts.
Ecc 3:19 For that which befalleth the sons of men befalleth beasts; even one thing befalleth them: as the one dieth, so dieth the other; yea, they have all one breath; so that a man hath no preeminence above a beast: for all is vanity.

That's what scares me lol.

Jesus is a perfect Shepherd , not just a good one.

When sheep hear the Shepherd voice, they are at peace, even if wolves are around..... (and definitely wolves are everywhere) ....

How do we know that we already haven't taken the mark? Is it really going to be that easy to spot?

I think somewhere it is written, if a believer refuses the mark, they are executed. So , it will be plainly seen, yes.

Eze 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.
Eze 9:5 And to the others he said in mine hearing, Go ye after him through the city, and smite: let not your eye spare, neither have ye pity:
Eze 9:6 Slay utterly old and young, both maids, and little children, and women: but come not near any man upon whom is the mark; and begin at my sanctuary. Then they began at the ancient men which were before the house.

The mark of the beast is a spiritual mark.

If that were the case, there would be no purpose in it taking two or three forms.

Sorry, but I don't follow?

 

[yeshuaslavejeff]

I just hope that the mark is not here and we have been so blind we took it. I think it's going to be very tempting and pleasing to the eye, like the fruit in the garden.

Good to see this. Most people have already agreed to take the mark. They will accept it, and die. (spiritually). The true believers will not accept it, and will be executed.

The government agencies require copies in triplicate, don't they ? 'three forms'

 

[yeshuaslavejeff]

Even the wisdom of Solomon in Proverbs often contradicts the wisdom of Jesus.

No.
There is no Scripture inspired by Yahweh that is contradictory to any Scripture. It is all perfect harmony with God's Plan and Purpose and Christ Jesus.

Those are all exact copies of each other.

I read it, and found it extremely wanting. First of all, you don't get to take one verse and try and guess what it means, which is exactly what is happening on that post. You do not have the authority to interpret the scriptures. Only Christ has that authority.

Rev 5:1 And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals.
Rev 5:2 And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof?
Rev 5:3 And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon.
Rev 5:4 And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon.
Rev 5:5 And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.

Thanks for reading it, anyway.

Do you still gather other Christians and Jews around to stone an adulterer to death?

Jesus never said that law is done away with. Nor does sacrifice of animals.

So why did we stop doing those things? If those teachings are still in perfect harmony with Christ's teachings

This thread was moved from Christian Philosophy & Ethics to Eschatology which fits the topic better.

Oh, you have this as well.

Rev 9:3 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.
Rev 9:4 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.

So, is the seal of God a physical mark too?

How do we know that we already haven't taken the mark? Is it really going to be that easy to spot? I mean satan already knows we talk about the chip....why would he try that if we all are thinking...no don't get the chip. Don't you think he would fool us some over kind of way that looks eye pleasing?
For instance...these cell phones. They are good and bad. I do like that I can text and talk to family anytime we want too..and I like having support groups and forums. Basically I do almost everything with my phone...pay bills, see the world news, communicate, you can even scan your phone to buy stuff at the store.
But then I think, we we get the mark...which he causes all to do...people that are in jail...do they get the mark too? Are they gonna have to take a mark if they want to buy any vending machine food.(extra stuff) Lol I'm going out on a limb here. What about elderly in the nursing home? Do they automatically take the chip if they are confused?
Or does family step in and say no?

I have no clue what the mark is...I don't want the mark and everyone is thinking chip...could it be what you do with your "right hand" and what you believe?

The beast image...one will breath life into whatever it is...people seriously think it's a statue? Lol you dont think what you see on tv and your phone isn't a image that comes to life? We all love our internet dont we?

I just hope that the mark is not here and we have been so blind we took it. I think it's going to be very tempting and pleasing to the eye, like the fruit in the garden.

Ugh...the wanderings of my mind.

The mark of the beast is not an actual mark. It's an allegiance to the Anti-Christ that it represents. It makes no Biblical sense that having a mark put on you or in you could forfeit your eternal life.

I have no clue what the mark is

It was something that happened in Ancient Times.
