what is the mark of the beast (according to scripture) ... what is the number of his (beasts) nameRevelation 13:18 is to identify of the name of the beast-king.
Revelation 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.
The image of Daniel 2 represents the 4 beasts of Daniel 7. They are one and the same.Here is the monumental eschatology understanding problem:
Conditioned by generations, upon generations, of talk about the Antichrist....
As soon as anyone says "the Antichrist", it brings up thoughts in most people's minds of thinking of the person in a universal sense.
But not understanding that the person is in that phase of being the Antichrist only for the time of being the King of Israel, thought-to-be messiah by the Jews.
So that there ends up being all sorts of theories, such as the pope/papacy being the Antichrist, or the Mahdi being the Antichrist, etc.
And I saw something like a sea of glass mingled with fire, and those who have the victory over the beast, over his image and over his mark and over the number of his name, standing on the sea of glass, having harps of God.

Rev 15:2And I saw something like a sea of glass mingled with fire, and those who have the victory over the beast, over his image and over his mark and over the number of his name, standing on the sea of glass, having harps of God. (Rev 15:2)
4And I heard the number of those who were sealed. One hundred and forty-four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel weresealed:
5of the tribe of Judah twelve thousand were sealed;
of the tribe of Reuben twelve thousand were [a]sealed;
of the tribe of Gad twelve thousand were sealed;
6of the tribe of Asher twelve thousand were sealed;
of the tribe of Naphtali twelve thousand were sealed;
of the tribe of Manasseh twelve thousand were sealed;
7of the tribe of Simeon twelve thousand were sealed;
of the tribe of Levi twelve thousand were sealed;
of the tribe of Issachar twelve thousand were sealed;
8of the tribe of Zebulun twelve thousand were sealed;
of the tribe of Joseph twelve thousand were sealed;
of the tribe of Benjamin twelve thousand were sealed. (Rev 7)
Sealed:
c. in order to mark a person or thing; hence, to set a mark upon by the impress of a seal, to stamp:
Under each head of a tribe there are 12,000 sealed on their foreheads.
The number of the name of Judah is 12,000. That is the number of his name.
All of those who are marked or sealed under the name of the beast are the number of his name.
The ones sealed on their foreheads is speaking of knowing the true God. It would be impressed on their mind. They wouldn’t have the seal of worshipping a false god.Rev 15:2
And I saw what looked like a sea of glass glowing with fire and, standing beside the sea, those who had been victorious over the beast and its image and over the number of its name. They held harps given them by God
Yeah .... victorious over the beast and his image ....
Doesn't described what the mark of the beast and the number of his name is. What are these?
How are they marked and sealed under the name of the beast?
Sorry ... but you are still not explaining what these are (unless I missed it)The ones sealed on their foreheads is speaking of knowing the true God. It would be impressed on their mind. They wouldn’t have the seal of worshipping a false god.

From post 23I posted what I think is the number of his name (post #23)
666 would represent the number of persons who are aligned with the beast.
Bible says the number of his name is 666 ... not 12,000The number of the name of Judah is 12,000. That is the number of his name.
In order to buy,sell,or trade in these times one would need the mark of the beast on his forehead or hand.Sorry ... but you are still not explaining what these are (unless I missed it)

And another angel, a third, followed them, saying with a loud voice, “If anyone worships the beast and its image and receives a mark on his forehead or on his hand,
Hi eleos,what is the mark of the beast (according to scripture) ... what is the number of his (beasts) name
If that's what Jesus meant, that the Jews were going to accept a Messiah-king, then you're right. That's reasonable. But you have to admit that Jesus also warned his disciples not to follow false Messiahs that *already existed in his time.* Were they kings? No, they were pretenders.Randy, none of the false christs, following Jesus's first coming, have ever been anointed the King of Israel. The Jews, from their standpoint, are still looking for the arrival of their King of Israel messiah. They will mistake the prince who shall come following the Gog/Magog event as being their long awaited messiah.
That person will be anointed the King of Israel thought-to-be messiah, by the Jews - making him the Antichrist.
We know that the beast is “king of the north” (the Assyrian).Hi eleos,
The mark of the beast is also connected to his name.
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.
The number of the the beast's name is 666.
There has been speculation of what the mark is, and what the beast's name is. I don't know either. It may be that question will not be solvable until the person becomes the beast-king.
Then everything you are putting forth is speculation ... so you think God warns us about these things and don't reveal what they are? That makes absolutely no sense.Hi eleos,

I said that I don't know what the mark of the person's name, nor what he name is. It is a fact that there have been a lot of speculation in regards to those two issues.Then everything you are putting forth is speculation ... so you think God warns us about these things and don't reveal what they are? That makes absolutely no sense.
I don't think anyone disagrees with that as being what the verse says.In order to buy,sell,or trade in these times one would need the mark of the beast on his forehead or hand.
That false christ / Antichrist already revealed himself to be the Man of Lawlessness in AD 66, which ended with his murder in the temple shortly thereafter. This is ancient history, which does not need a rebuilt temple to fulfill Christ's, Paul's, and John's prediction of an Antichrist.When the Antichrist reveals himself to be the man of lawlessness, it will end his time in his Antichrist phase.
That the Jews are still looking for their King of Israel, messiah is proof that no-one ever fulfilled that role in their eyes. What the Jews think and believe is essential to understanding the end time events involving the Antichrist.
The Harlot of Revelation is charged with killing the prophets and Apostles.I don't think anyone disagrees with that as being what the verse says.
The mark was the required Tyrian shekel coin minted in Jerusalem by permission of Rome. The high priesthood required that this Tyrian shekel be the only coin accepted in the temple for buying or selling any items for worship in the temple. This coin with its fobidden, abominable images and inscriptions gave homage to Rome's demi-god Herakles, and lauded the power of Rome (the current phase of the Sea Beast). People coming to the temple for worship from any nation had to pay a fee to the money-changers to trade their foreign currency for this abominable coin with its images which God had forbidden long ago back in Deuteronomy 7:25-26.Doesn't described what the mark of the beast and the number of his name is.

The person who becomes the Antichrist and then later the beast-king will be cast alive into the lake of fire at Jesus's Second Coming in Revelation 19:20. Time of the end, not 2000 years ago.That false christ / Antichrist already revealed himself to be the Man of Lawlessness in AD 66, which ended with his murder in the temple shortly thereafter. This is ancient history, which does not need a rebuilt temple to fulfill Christ's, Paul's, and John's prediction of an Antichrist.
God's plans are not contingent on what the Jews either think or thought. What difference does it make to eschatology if anyone calling themselves a Jew today thinks that their Messiah hasn't arrived yet? God will judge each man on a case-by-case basis as to their rejection of Jesus the Messiah. God's plans already progressed according to the first-century timing which Christ predicted for those events - including the revelation of the Antichrist and his restrainer. Paul's instruction to the Thessalonians reminded them that the Antichrist / Man of Lawlessness and his restrainer were already in existence in their own time.
The Antichrist individual was one which the Pharisees of Christ's days encountered when that Man of Lawlessness "came in his own name", promoting himself as the King of Israel in the Jerusalem temple over all other Zealot leader contenders for the Messiah role. This was 3-1/2 years before that temple was torn down to the last stone in AD 70.
