SIX REASONS WHY WE RECEIVE THE BEASTLY MARK

James Honigman · Apr 18, 2020

How could we possibly mistake Satan for Jesus Christ? Allow me to present 6 good reasons why we will be deceived when the devil shows up in Jerusalem pretending to be our beloved Lord Jesus. Please understand, DECEPTION is the first tribulation we will have to endure, and those who are deceived will receive the devil's beastly mark. The 2nd, and final tribulation,is the wrath of God; poured out upon all those who received that mark.

And He said unto them, 'I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven." Luke 10:18

Satan, the great deceiver, falling from heaven (after being kicked out by Michael) doing his best to emulate our Beloved, Who will be coming in the clouds of heaven with great power and glory. There will be no mistaking our Lord when He arrives in radiant glory and magnificent splendor. Sadly, there will be billions, yes billions, who will be deceived by Satan into thinking he was Jesus Christ; bowing their knee to him. How is that possible?

That's the reason for this post; it will be very difficult to resist him, and we must. Some might be thinking, "Come on, God won't really be angry with me, will He? I just made a little mistake!" No, you made a huge mistake when you broke God's 1st Commandment and worshiped the beast, but don't take my word for it. If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive the mark in his forehead or in his hand, the same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God. . . .If we received the mark in our forehead we have believed upon Satan, and if in our hand, we have worked for him!

We could try to justify it to our Heavenly Father that we just made a poor error in judgement, but my advice is to recognize Satan as the devil when he stands in Jerusalem as Jesus Christ. So, why will that be so difficult? First of all, we need to realize he is not human. Satan will never be born of woman, he is a supernatural being. He will be the first ALIEN this world has ever seen.

Wait a minute, I watched "Alien", who would worship an ugly being like that? No one, but Satan is not ugly, and that is his second weapon. Read Ezekiel 28 and you will see that God created Satan in the full pattern, which is to say he will look like a glorious angel, perfect in beauty. Lucifer is the son of the morning, he sealest up the sum, he is the finished pattern. The world will not be able to find a throne big enough to put him on.

Thirdly, he is not a dummy. As it is written, Behold, thou art wiser than Daniel. The world will not outsmart him, he will outsmart the world, for he is full of wisdom. He will not be stomping his feet and threatening people: He shall come in peaceably, and obtain the kingdom by flatteries. So, we have a brilliant, smooth talking beauty. Will you be deceived?

Fourth, we know from Revelation 13 that he will cure the deadly wound the world has received, and he will be preforming miracles like bringing fire down from heaven. That will get our attention. Fifth, and don't discount this, Satan does not arrive here by himself,

And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. Revelation 12:9

The nasty fallen angels will be directing all traffic to Jerusalem to go worship Satan. Those are five excellent reasons why so many good Christians will be deceived. Most Christians, even those who go to Church every Sunday, have never heard those things. They will receive his mark, in ignorance perhaps, but they will receive it. But I said six reasons, right? Good Christians, like you, who now know the truth, thanks to our beloved Lord, Jesus Christ, don't have to worry about reason #6.

Reason #6 is for the atheists, those who could care less about our Heavenly Father or our Lord Jesus Christ. Reason #6 is for those would never think about picking up a Bible to find out what their Creator had to say to them. They prefer to enjoy the temporary satisfaction of unrighteousness to live their lives out. Beloved good Christian children, you may not even need to read reason #6, but just in case there are any atheists reading this, here is reason #6.

And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness. 11 Thessalonians 2:10

God is going to make them believe a lie? I'm sure glad that's not us!

One overriding reason that the Lords faithful Christian people will not take the Mark of the Beast, is;
We Christians will not be a part of the One World Govt, we will live in our own nation, in all of the holy land. Isaiah 62:1-5, Ezekiel 34:11-16, Romans 9:24-26
Proved by how their leader comes to us and negotiates a 7 year treaty of peace. Soon after he sees how the Lord saves His people by wiping out the Gog/Magog army.

Note; how some Christians must remain in the holy Land after the leader, now exposed as the Anti-Christ, breaks that treaty and conquers Beulah. Revelation 12:17

Agree with most of your post but not here. The wound is only upon part of the world, one mountain which is an area of land where countries/kingdoms exist and the text says the wound came from a sword which is symbolism for war. It is the after affects of war that are healed which would be from peace and rebuilding projects etc that help the area to bounce back similar to how Germany and Japan rebuilt after the war.

I worry about the world going to war with China over the virus and possible lawsuit for damages since China tried to do a coverup when they first knew the virus existed. They won't pay so this could lead to a war on China and China would be one of the 7 heads/mountains of the global beast empire that will come after such a great war was fought.

Hi James,

Where are you reading in Revelation that the world will worship Satan, thinking he is Jesus?

JulieB67 · Apr 21, 2020

Newbie here, but just want to say great post.

One of the meanings of "anti" in the Greek is "instead of" or "in place of". He will be here instead of Christ at that time (Christ returing at the 7th trump) This goes back to the great apostasy that Paul talks about because many will believe on him. This is also why both Christ and Paul give out strict warnings to not be deceived about the timing of Christ's return.

In Revelation 13 it states he has two horns like a lamb but spoke with the voice of a dragon. Meaning he looks like a lamb but really is the dragon.

Paul also described Satan disguised as an angel of light. He will be everyone's Messiah at that point.

This is how he is able to deceive the entire world. He would not be able to do so otherwise. And as James said, it's God that sends the delusion because people would rather believe a lie than accept the love of the truth.

I agree with most of this but not so sure the two lamb's horns mean he looks like a lamb since those are just horns. We aren't told his body is a lamb. Also, the Greek word there actually means horns of a lambkin, a young lamb so he actually has two little horns in the symbology and that should make one think of the little horn in Daniel.

Hi EWQ and thanks for your comments. If you are watching end time prophecy as we obviously do, this coronavirus is certainly interesting. It's fascinating the way the world has turned, and I can't think of any end of days prophecies where "pestilence and disease" are not mentioned. Quite a time we are living in.

Hi Douggg. Much of the book of Revelation is about the choice we make to choose Satan's mark or getting the seal of God in our foreheads to escape it. I think chapter 13 describes it best. Thanks for your interest.

Thanks so much Kate. Everything will be deception when Satan arrives on earth, so remember to wait on the Lord. He who endures unto the end, the same shall be saved. I think that's in Matthew 24. Don't worry, you're going to be fine. Blessings, James.

James, I trying to figure out why you would think Satan will be presenting himself as being Jesus?

The seal of God, the mark, discussion aside.

Hi Julie, you have the prefix right. But what about the term "Christ"? Actually "the" Christ.

Mark 15:32 32 Let Christ the King of Israel descend now from the cross, that we may see and believe. And they that were crucified with him reviled him.

John 12:13 13 Took branches of palm trees, and went forth to meet him, and cried, Hosanna: Blessed is the King of Israel that cometh in the name of the Lord.

John 5:43 43 I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive.

So what is that telling you about the coming Antichrist ? Instead of and against - the rightful King of Israel Jesus.

It should be telling you that the person will be anointed the King of Israel, coming in his own name, and be the King of Israel for awhile before revealing himself as the man of sin.

Douggg, your'e not one of those Scripture Lawyers, are you? Assuming you are on the up & up, Isaiah 14 shows us how Satan wanted to sit in the seat of God, 11 Thessalonians 2 probably explains it best when our Beloved returns to destroy Satan with the brightness of His coming, but the deception is chronicled in Matthew 24, Mark 13 and Luke 21. Hope that helps.

James, those are not reasons to think that Satan will be presenting himself as Jesus.

If Satan were to be presenting himself as Jesus - why would the beast being blaspheming against God, his name, his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven?

Revelation 13.6 And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.

If Satan were to be presenting himself as Jesus, why would the beast be making war with (against) the saints (which are them who believe in Jesus) ?

7 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.

8 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.

Hi Doug,

Because that's what Satan does. He will have the entire world twisted and believing he is the true Savior. He will have no problem either since it's God that sends the strong delusion.

As James stated, In Isaiah 14 and 2nd Thes he sits on the throne proclaiming to be the most high.

Christ's words in Matthew 24: -This is smack right in the middle of the tribulation and people are believing Christ is here when Satan and Co are putting on their show,

Matthew 24:23 "Then if any man shall say unto you, 'Lo, here is Christ,' or 'there,' believe it not."
Matthew 24:24 "For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect."
Matthew 24:25 "Behold, I have told you before."
Matthew 24:26 "Wherefore if they shall say unto you, 'Behold, He is in the desert;' go not forth: 'Behold, He is in the secret chambers;' believe it not."
Matthew 24:27 "For as the lightning cometh our to the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be."

Why would Christ give out strict warnings if people didn't believe Christ was here at that time? He just stated people will be saying he is here but we are told not to believe it.

I Thessalonians 5:5 "Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness."

We are supposed to be children of the light.

And Paul states in 2nd Cor
II Corinthians 11:14 "And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light."

Translated back to the Greek -Metaschematizo, meaning to transfigure or disguise.

Satan is disguised as an angel of light.

So you see, Satan will pretend he is an angel of light. And the whole world will wonder after him.

The fact that he is claiming to be God when he is in fact Satan is the ultimate blasphemy.

Julie, in Isaiah 14, it is Satan's desire to elevate his throne above the stars, and sit on God's throne.

In 2Thessalonians2:4, the person goes into the temple and sits, claiming to have achieved God-hood. But that person is a man not Satan. Satan enters the person, whether in spirit or literally is not known, to carry out the act - feeding his (Satan's) obsession to be worshiped like God sit on God's throne.

But the person in 2Thessalonaians2:4 is a man. In Ezekiel 28:1-10, God has that man killed for the act. God strongly says in those verses the person is but a man and not God.

Ezekiel 28:6 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thou hast set thine heart as the heart of God;

7 Behold, therefore I will bring strangers upon thee, the terrible of the nations: and they shall draw their swords against the beauty of thy wisdom, and they shall defile thy brightness.

8 They shall bring thee down to the pit, and thou shalt die the deaths of them that are slain in the midst of the seas.

9 Wilt thou yet say before him that slayeth thee, I am God? but thou shalt be a man, and no God, in the hand of him that slayeth thee.

Where are you reading the whole word will wonder after Satan? What the text in Revelation 13 says is the world will wonder after the beast.

Revelation 13:3 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.

Julie, the beast is not Satan. Satan empowers the beast, but the beast is not Satan, but some man.

When Jesus returns, in Revelation 19:20, the beast and the false prophet will be cast alive into the lake of fire.

Differently, in Revelation 20:1-3, Satan will be bound in chains and cast into a different place for 1000 years, the bottomless pit.

Satan is not going to be presenting himself to be Jesus.

Yes, and Isaiah 14 also states he will also sit on the mount of congregation.

Isaiah 14:13 "For thou hast said in thine heart, `I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north

You're admitting it's Satan we're talking about in Isaiah 14 and we agree that Satan is placed into the pit but are totally omitting these verses which line up to Revelation,

Isaiah 14:15 "Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit."

And since you admit it's Satan that's being talked about in Isaiah, then you would admit that angels are called men at times in the bible,

Isaiah 14:16 "They that see thee shall shall narrowly look upon the, and consider thee, saying. "Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms;"

He is called a man in this very verse.

If you don't believe this, what is you're interpretation of Isaiah 14:16? And why is Satan sitting on the mount of congregation?

Julie, part of the verses in Isaiah 14 are about Satan. Isaiah 14:13-14.

Isaiah 14:15 is a transition verse to the end times person, the revealed man of sin, who Satan enters to carry out the act in 2Thessalonians2:4.

In Ezekiel 28:1-10 God has the end times person killed for that act. And the person's soul goes in the pit, another name for place of the dead.

In Isaiah 14:15 is that person finding himself in hell. Isaiah 14:16-20 is about that person, not Satan.

Isaiah 14:16

Click to expand...

"They that see thee shall shall narrowly look upon the, and consider thee, saying. "Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms;"

He is called a man in this very verse.

If you don't believe this, what is you're interpretation of Isaiah 14:16? And why is Satan sitting on the mount of congregation?

In Isaiah 14:13 Satan is not sitting on the mount of the congregation. It is his desire, in his heart. The mount of the congregation is talking about in heaven, all of the angels, the congregation before God's throne. That's what Satan wants, but he is never going to get it.

In Isaiah 14:16, it is talking about the end times person, a man, who will have been so powerful and successful in his life up to that point - which it ends up because of his claim of being God, he finds his soul in hell.

In Isaiah 14:18,"everyone in his house", all the kings of the nations - it is talking about the big fancy tombs of leaders when they die. That's what is meant by "house" in that verse.

In Isaiah 14:20, the end times person is not going to get that same honor, like the other famous leaders. His soul gets kicked out of the grave - a way of saying he will be brought back to life. Before his body is buried in a big fancy tomb.

___________________________________________________________

Here is what is going to happen. The person will become leader of the EU, the little horn. Then following Gog/Magog, as the prince who shall come, he will head into the middle-east with his EU army on the premise of being the peace keeper in the wake of all the destruction.

The Jews will think he is the messiah. The person will be anointed the King of Israel, by the false prophet. Making him what is biblically the Antichrist. Israel and the world will think it has entered the messianic age - and will be saying peace and safety.

That will go on for about three years. When out of the blue, the person, stops the daily sacrifice, goes into the temple, sits, claiming to have achieved God-hood. Satan will have entered him to carry out the act.

God is angered by the person's claim to be God. And Ezekiel 28:1-10 has him killed. And the person finds his soul in hell, mocked by others there, Isaiah 14:16-17.

God, in disdain for the person, because for one thing he is a Jew of all people, descended from David. doesn't let his soul remain hell. And returns his soul to his body, i.e. brings the person back to life.

That the person is a Jew is indicated in Isaiah 14:20, as the person is likened to an abominable branch. Jesus in Jeremiah 23:5 is called the righteous branch - descended from David. The person earns God's disdain, because in effect in the deal the person makes with Satan, destroys his land (Israel) and slays his people (the Jews).

20 Thou shalt not be joined with them in burial, because thou hast destroyed thy land, and slain thy people: the seed of evildoers shall never be renowned.

So his body never gets buried (and have a big fancy tomb like the other powerful kings in the past).

When he is killed, there will be a globally televised funeral for him. And in front of all the cameras, he will sit up in the casket - come back to life, as the whole world sees it happen. Dumbfounded.

It will appear to the world, that his claim of having achieved God-hood is true, and that he has over-come death. So in Revelation 13, they worship him, for the next 42 months. When he then meets his end, cast alive into the lake of fire.

Doug,
You just can't make an assumption like that when it's not written like that.

Going back to verse 12, we see that it's Lucifer that did weaken the nations,

Isaiah 14:12 "How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!"

We see right there who it is that weakens the nations.

Isaiah 14:13 "For thou hast said in thine heart, `I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north"

The mount of congregation is a mountain

Isaiah 14:14 "I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the MOST HIGH."
Isaiah 14:15 "Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit."

Notice the word "thou"? Meaning we are still talking Satan here. How does this verse transition into some human man?

Isaiah 14:16 "They that see thee shall shall narrowly look upon the, and consider thee, saying. "Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms;"

Again, with the word "thee", we are still talking Satan. The subject hasn't changed.

We are made in the image of God and the angels. Why would God need to use a man when Satan himself can play the part? (and will)

And most importantly why does Satan need to disguise himself as an angel of light? Who is he disguising himself for?
