What is the Mark of the
Beast?
Is it a computer chip
under the skin, a tattooed number in the forehead, or something more subtle? The
mark of the beast is one of the most misinterpreted prophecies in all of the
Bible. Yet it is so important to correctly understand this subject. God have
sent warnings about receiving the mark of the beast to mankind because He loves
His people and He wants them to know the truth. With eternal death facing those
who receive the mark, it is a crime not to deliver this message in its proper
context. Before the question what is the mark of the beast can be answered, one
must first ask what the beast is.
What is the BEAST?
John said, “I beheld
another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and
he spake as a dragon” (Revelation 13:11, KJV 1960). In Daniel 7:23, beast is
defined as a kingdom or sovereign nation and horns as political power. This
beast that came from the earth has two horns or two political parties governing
at the same time.
The only nation in the
world that have two opposing political parties functioning at the same time
signifying the two horns of the beast is the United States of America. The
Nation (Beast) with the two political parties (two horns) governing at the same
time seemingly peaceful is no other than the United States of America. The Word
says the beast that came out of the earth has two horns like a lamb.
So what is the Mark of
the United States of America?
At this juncture the
devil has worked and is working his masterpiece of deception. Revelation
13:11–18 is simply describing the acts of the two-horned beast that came from
the earth or the acts of the United States of America. However, the devil has
managed to switch this around so nicely that the change is hardly recognizable.
He is using the religious Christian world to perpetuate his deception.
The Amalgamated Beast
Many have ascribed the
mark to the amalgamated beast of Revelation 13:1. Others have gone on to
identify the wounded head of Revelation 13:3. They identify the wounded head
correctly. Nevertheless after holding the audience’s attention by identifying
the wounded head, they simply turn around and call the wounded head as it were the
whole beast.
The Exportation of
Democracy
There is no doubt and neither will anyone argue that the
United States of America goes around the world exporting democracy. The Cold
War was all about the exportation of the ideology of communism versus
democracy. Doubtless communism has lost and democracy has prevailed. Democracy
is the mark of the United States of America. Democracy is defined as a form of
government in which supreme power is vested in the people and exercised by them
directly or indirectly through a system of representation usually involving
periodic free elections. Most democracies today are a representative form of
democracy involving periodic free elections.
Prevailing Democratic Countries
The propagation of democracy cannot obscure the problems
that have appeared in prevailing democratic countries. For many countries who
have embraced democracy, democratization has proven to be politically
destabilizing and socially demoralizing. All that is wrong with this system of
democracy is not clearly known, and neither has it been exhaustively studied to
identify its evil. However what is known is that it commands the fury of God.
Rejection
There is a deep sadness in that many saints will reject
the foregoing simply on the basis that they point to the beast and his image in
another direction for many years and have become comfortable with that
theology. This is a deception perpetuated by the evil one to lead the children
of God astray.
Do not be Deceived
Do not be deceived; the mark is the mark of the two-horned
beast. Therefore everything about the mark must be seen in light of the
two-horned beast or the United States of America and no one else. To point to
or to look in any other direction is a work perpetuated by the evil one. No
doubt the evil one wants the mark of the beast to be seared into the foreheads
of mankind and supported with their right hands. If the devil can get the mark
of the beast to burn into the forehead, that is all he needs. That person will
defend that which he believes with passion. Therefore the Devil provide many alternative
Mark of the Beast, which is acceptable by many.
There is no doubt and neither will anyone argue that the
United States of America goes around the world exporting democracy. Democracy
is the mark of the United States of America. Democracy is the Mark of the
Beast.
