To Understand The “Mark”, One Must First understand The Trumpet Judgements.

It is said that until one understands all of Revelations events, one cannot understand one event alone. Why? The short of it is that all of the events must dove tail together to form a comprehensive story of how a God of love will divide a world of eight billion individuals of religious diversity into just two groups, those who will worship Jesus and those who refuse.

In this post I will share prophetic events taken from Revelations prophecies in their chronological order so one can better understand world events that lead into the time when the “mark of the beast” is set up. Therefore, prophecy will make more sense just as it reads.

Rev. 4 and 5, reveal that the Father wrote the book of life and sealed it with seven seals, before Christ the creative agent of the God head created any life. In 1798 the Father convened a assembly of all the heavenly host and twenty four elders. (saints raised from the dead at the time of Christ death and latter taken to heaven when Christ ascended) They are seen, having front row seats to witness the events that are about to transpire in heaven, and serve as witnesses in behalf of mankind to the fairness of it’s proceeding and the events to come thereafter. Rev. 5 reveals a search throughout heaven and earth for an individual worthy according to the Fathers criteria to receive the book of life and open it’s seals. Christ alone was found worthy, by the heavenly angles, without any influence from the Father.

Jesus then is given the book, and the Father recuses Himself from His throne and Jesus at that time becomes the King of Kings, Lord of Lords. Jesus then becomes the ruler of the universe, high priest for mankind, and given sovereign power, for the first time. (Dan.7:14) Jesus must open each seal and perform the work that each seal will require according to what the Fathers had predetermined before any life was created. These seven tasks will bring the drama of sin to and end and usher in God’s earthly kingdom. Because the Father foreknew that most of mankind would not know that Jesus is a God equal in every way as He, He designed each seal as a campaign and when each one is completed more of Christ deity is revealed.

The third seal, which reveals the judgement ofJesus, was opened in 1844, as Jesus began the judgement of “ALL” the dead, to determine who will make up His kingdom. This judgement is based on the books of deeds that has been written in real time on all who have ever lived. During this judgement the 24 elders, are present to witness this process, which continues to this day.

The forth seal will reveal the sovereign authority of Jesus, it is the next seal to be opened and is the start of tribulation, which will last 1335 literal days. (Dan.12:12) According to (Rev. 6:7-8) during this seal one forth of earth’s population will be killed by God’s four deadly judgements, sword, famine, plague and wild beast. (See Ezekiel: 14:21) For most christians this is unbelievable. However, remember the flood, and God’s slaying of the first born before God led Israel out of Egypt, and the destruction of Jerusalem.

The Father predetermined this seal because He knows that most of the world inhabitants are non-christian and preoccupied with many diverse day to day issues. And if every household were to receive a peace of literature advertising a local seminar about the “upcoming tribulation” coming upon the world, the vast majority would toss it in the trash and never give it a second thought. However, the Father knows that all our earthly possessions must be striped away in order for the eternal gospel is given serious consideration throughout the world, before He closes the offer of salvation. (Mat 24:14)

God will accomplish this by sending seven literal trumpet judgements, in which only a third of His wrath will be poured out upon the earth.(Rev. 8:6-12) The first four will come in quick succession, to arrest the attention of all of mankind. The first trumpet judgement: meteor fire storm, third of the earth is burned up. Second trumpet judgement: astroid impacts an ocean, third of the sea will experience the growth of red algae, and a third of the sea creatures die, a third of the ships are destroyed. Third trumpet judgement: astroid hits a continent, breaks of the earth’s crust, and buried toxins will contaminate under ground aquifers, streams, as well as rivers, and millions will die from drinking pulled water. Forth trumpet judgement: only a third of the light from sun, moon and stars will make it to earth. This most likely will be the commutative result of the three previous trumpets, emitting smoke, and ash from volcanic eruption due to astroid impacts, into the jet stream, resulting in crops not able to reach maturity, bringing about world famine and disease. Remember according to the forth seal one fourth of the worlds population will die. Prophecy does not mention casualties, but common sense tells us they most likely will out number the dead.

God being a God of love does not pour out His wrath without a warning beforehand. (Rev. 7:1-4; 10:7) Reveal that Jesus will select 144,000 servant/prophets to proclaim the gospel to every nation, kindred, tongue, and people during the seven trumpet judgements. And with the full power of the Holy Spirit, (the latter rain) they shall accomplish their task, in just 1260 literal days.

The first of three messages the servant/prophets will speak for God to the inhabitants of the world will be during the time of the first four trumpet judgements it is: “Fear God [Jesus literally] and give him [Jesus] glory, because the hour of his [Jesus] judgement [of the living] has come. Worship him [Jesus] who made the heavens, the earth, the sea, and springs of water.” (Rev.14:7) This will be a shocking revelation to billions of individuals who are living in non-Christian nations and those who have refused to give the eternal gospel consideration living in Christian nations.

(Rev. 12:13-17) Informs us that the dragon [Satin] waged a war against God’s people for 1260 literal years [538-1798] but lost that war. But will wage war again on her offspring. In (Rev. 13:1) the dragon [Satin] stood on the shore of the sea, [symbolic of, nations of people, Rev. 17: 1 & 15] waiting, watching, planning his next and assault. John sees a composite beast coming up out of the sea. It will be a crisis government to appease God’s first four trumpet judgements, least all the earth be destroyed. It will be the brain child of the dragon/Satin who has been making plans since he lost the previous war mentioned in Rev. 12. This crisis government will consist of seventeen members from various nations, seven religious leaders, (seven heads), and ten prominent world leaders, (ten horns). Prophecy informs us too that the ten horns are bearing crowns. Meaning the power of this church/state union rest with ten world leaders. This crisis government will mandate sinless laws, to appease God so His wrath will cease, voiding all constitutional rights by individuals of their respective nations. This crisis government is later referred to in Rev., as Babylon, which means confusion. This descriptive is appropriate as the sinless laws will very among the nations depending on their religious slant.

The dragon [satin] gave the beast [sea beast (SB)] his [satin’s] throne and great author…the whole world was filled with wonder and followed the beast [SB]. People worshiped the dragon [satin] because he [satin] had given authority to the beast [SB] and they worshiped the beast [SB] and asked, “who is like the beast? [SB] Who can wage war against it? (Rev.13: 2-4)

Part two of two
‘The beast [SB)] was given a mouth to outer words and blasphemies [speaking untruths about God] and to exercise its authority for forty two months [literal time] …it [SB] was given power [by satin] to wage war against God’s holy people and to conquer them. And it [SB] was given authority over every tribe, people, language and nation…” (Rev.13:5-7)

Violators of these sinless laws will be imprisoned or face exclusion. (Better for a few to die, then millions more if God’s wrath continues)

However, this crisis government will have no understanding that God has sent the trumpet judgements to inform the world that the world as it was has ended, and Jesus is carrying out the Fathers plans in separating those who will worship Jesus from those who refuse during the period of the seven trumpet judgements.

At the time the SB/Babylon is implementing it’s “sinless laws” God’s servants the prophets are issuing their second message from God, “ Fallen! Fallen! [proven false] is Babylon the Great which made all the nations drink the madding wine of her adulteries. [lacking truth about God, as Satin will be feeding the leaders disinformation] (Rev.14:8)

(Rev. 9:1-11) Fifth Trumpet Judgement
The fifth, sixth, and seventh trumpets are progressive in nature. They can be described as three woes. The first woe (the fifth trumpet) describes the physical appearing of the devil with his demons. During this phase, Lucifer will put on a glorious show to deceive most of the world into believing that he is Almighty God. During this time, Jesus will allow Lucifer and his demons to torture non-religious people for five literal months. This torture will cause some people to embrace the gospel of Jesus and it will also go a long way toward eliminating all non-religious people from Earth. By the seventh trumpet, the people of earth will either be sheep (worshiping Jesus) or goats (worshiping Lucifer).

(Rev. 9:13-21) Second woe (sixth trumpet)
The command to release the four angels that are bound at the great river Euphrates follows an important parallel. Remember in Revelation 7 that God’s four angels (having the first four trumpets) were told to wait until the 144,000 servant/prophets were sealed. Similarly, Lucifer’s four demons must wait until the appointed hour, day, month, and year arrives. Remember that when Jesus breaks open the fourth seal, twenty- five percent of the world’s population will be killed (twenty- five percent of eight billion equals 2 billion people). Similarly, when the sixth trumpet sounds, Lucifer will cause one-third of the world’s population to be killed (one-third of the remaining six billion also equals two billion people). The Lord and Lucifer will kill the same number of people. When both totals are added together, it is sobering to realize that half of the world’s population (4 billion) will die before the seventh trumpet occurs!

Lucifer will appear to be a wonderful, benevolent, and gracious God during the fifth trumpet. Billions of people will see him and marvel at his signs and wonders. When the sixth trumpet sounds, Lucifer will suddenly assert authority as Almighty God. He will suddenly speak as a ruthless dictator. The devil will make painful demands that people cannot escape. For example, Lucifer will declare that the time has come to establish the kingdom of God on Earth. There has to be one God, one faith, and one church on Earth – all others will be deemed false and forbidden. Think about Lucifer’s clever logic. If “God” dwells among men, religious diversity is impossible. When “God” lives among mankind, every religious system must be abandoned because there is no room for divergent opinions on or about God’s will or laws. Lucifer, masquerading as Almighty God, will impose himself on all mankind. He will declare his laws to be “the laws of Almighty God” and everyone will either obey them or be killed. (This will be an interesting implementation of “the sudden death law” which Lucifer originally used to mislead a third of God’s angels.)

Lucifer will abolish the governments of the world and declare that all governments other than his will be considered adversaries to “the kingdom of God.” Think about this: When “God” ( Lucifer masquerading as God) establishes his kingdom on Earth, he will establish a new order on Earth. The devil will create a counterfeit theocracy and consolidate the religious powers and civil powers of the SB into this theocracy. (Lucifer’s theocracy is described as “the image to the beast” in Revelation 13

Jesus will permit the devil to torment the non-religious wicked during the fifth trumpet so that He can save those few people who will repent and be saved. Jesus has the same objective during the sixth trumpet. He will allow the devil to abolish the religions and governments of the world during the sixth trumpet to save a few more people. Take a moment to consider the problem and the solution. Religion always exerts compelling power over people. Because of this fact, very few people (less than 5% of the world’s population) actually transition from one religious system to another. (This transition is not Christians changing churches. The transition refers to people moving from one religious system to another, such as a Muslim becoming a Catholic or a Catholic becoming a Hindu. Can you imagine a Jew becoming a Muslim or vice versa?) Many of the religious wicked will reject the true gospel of Jesus because they simply cannot bring themselves to abandon their religious heritage (the religious system into which they were born). It will come as a tremendous shock when the religious wicked are forced to abandon their religious heritage during the sixth trumpet. Jesus permits Lucifer to eliminate the religious systems of the world so that all the living wanting salvation must prove their faith in Jesus their creator, and worship Him. prior to the sounding of the seventh trumpet, when the offer of salvation ends.

However, many confronted with Lucifer’s demand that everyone worship and join his theocracy are forced to abandon their lifelong religious system, heritage and training, will face a difficult decision. Will they choose too obey the laws of the devil and receive his mark to save themselves or will they embrace the two laws of love, embrace the gospel of Jesus and be saved from the curse of sin? Hopefully, more than a few of the religious wicked will come to their senses and embrace the gospel of Jesus during the sixth trumpet! Of course, there will be a great deal of opposition to Lucifer’s outrageous demands, but for now, can you imagine the impact on loyal Catholics when the Catholic faith is declared illegal? Can you imagine the impact on loyal Muslims when the Muslim faith is declared illegal? Can you imagine the impact on Jews, Hindus?

Third woe (seventh trumpet) The door to redemption closes just before the seventh trumpet sounds because everyone will have reached a firm decision regarding whom they will worship (Jesus or Lucifer). The seventh trumpet also marks the end of God’s redemptive wrath and the beginning of His destructive wrath, which is poured out in full measure. Upon all who have received Satins “Mark”. (seven last bowls/vials, Rev. 16)

After understanding the prophetic events In Revelation laid out in their chronological order leading up to the time when the “mark” is enforced, we see it will be far different that what most individuals have been mislead to believe. Satin has seen to it that the truth regarding the “mark” be replaced with misinformation and that life will be much as it is today. This misinformation has fueled many interpretations of the “Mark” which most assume the mark as described in prophecy is to simplistic, therefore, it must be symbolic of something far more advanced.

The mark is simply as prophecy states, a physical mark, most likely a tattoo, because a tattoo will be simple to administer when the world is in survival mode, permanent in that when you receive it you cannot change your mind, it cannot be lost or stolen, very visible, and easy to identify. Satins lieutenants most likely would receive the name Satin will use, which prophecy does not reveal, in their foreheads as proof of their loyalty. All others would be tattooed with the number 666 on the back of their hands.

God the Father has predetermined the best way to gather His sheep from among the goats. It reflects His love and justice and allows the living a free choice up until salvation closes. What better or more thorough way could mankind be divided, those choosing to live by faith in Christ, even to the point of death, and those choosing to worshiping the Lamb Like beast/Satin, accepting his “Mark” in order order to buy and sell?
