A
Mark In the Forehead
Revelation
13:16
When
talking to Christian folks who are passionate about the mark of the
beast, they seems to have a common misconception that the Mark of the
Beast will be placed on the Forehead. They believe that it is a mark
in some way or another which can be physically seen or read by
another human.
Many
Christians believe the image of the beast is not yet formed and
therefore the mark of the beast is not yet an issue. This is because
they are looking for the beast and the mark in all the wrong
directions. They are ascribing the mark to the wrong entity. They are
pointing the mark and the number to the first beast of Revelation 13,
and since what they are looking for has not taken place, they live in
expectation of future events. This future expectation has caused many
Christians to relax and let their guard down, hoping they will
fortify themselves and will be able to stand when the mark they are
looking for, will be enforced.
Most
Christians today will argue, that the Beast, the Image of the Beast,
the Mark of the Beast and the Number of the Beast are all future
events. However the Beast, the Image, the Mark and the Number are all
here and is functioning in the here and now.
What
is the Mark of the Beast?
Short
answer; democracy is the Mark of the Beast.
It
may be asked what the mark of the beast has to do with democracy?
Democracy is a form of government, what is the sin in democracy?
Christians lived in this earth but they are not of this world. The
man of Galilee said it himself; If ye were of the world, the world
would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have
chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you (John
15:19).
What
is the SIN in Democracy?
This
worldliness that is espoused by democracy which is enveloping the
world is leading the world headlong unto destruction. Notice the
worldliness of mainstream entertainment and media, they are blurring
the lines between good and evil, promoting situational ethics instead
of choosing right over wrong. Today, entertainment is about what is
the next big thing; how far can we go in pushing the boundaries of
decency and good taste. More sex, more carousing, more drunkenness,
more violence, more immorality; this is the democratic system in
which we live today; lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God.
This
democracy enforces States Sponsored SINS
Saints,
understand it is the United States of America that will cause all,
both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark
in their right hands. This mark has no connection with the
amalgamated beast of Revelation 13:1. It is a mark of the United
States of America.
Therefore,
this understanding of the text begs the question, what is the mark of
America?
This
is of utmost importance, because there are consequences for any man
who worships the beast and his image and receives his mark in his
forehead or in his hand. The consequences are severe; therefore this
should not be taken lightly. This text of Revelation 13:16 should not
be slighted. Doing so would mean the difference between eternal life
and receiving the wine of the wrath of God. Friend, it matters not
how long one may believe an interpretation of Revelation 13:16 that
is not in line with the revelation of Christ. The fact is God is not
slack concerning his promise. His promises is if any man worships the
beast and his image and receives his mark in his forehead, or in his
hand, the same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is
poured out without mixture into the cup of his
indignation.
Therefore, it is the duty of man to know who the beast is, what is
his image, his mark and his number.
In
this case it is not enough just to say, “Well, I love the Lord, and
that is all that matters.” It is not enough to say, “I am saved
by grace and need not have the understanding of all these complicated
prophecies.” It is not enough to sit back and say, “God is love.”
While God’s love is extended to all, his love and salvation have
always been conditional. It is not enough to sit back and say we the
Spirit of Prophecy.
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 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. The Word says, “If any man receives the mark
of the beast in his forehead.”
To
receive a mark in the forehead is to engage all the faculties of the
cerebral cortex or the frontal lobe of the brain. The will is engaged
in a tenacious manner to defend and protect the democracy that is
exported widely by the two-horned beast of Revelation 13. This
two-horned beast is a metaphor for the United States of America. The
two parties (Democrat and Republican) of the divided government are
the two horns referred to in the metaphor, and the beast is the
nation of America. To worship the beast is to be patriotic to the
nation, and to receive the mark in the forehead is to mentally accept
without reservation the democracy the nation espouses.
What
are States sponsored SINS?
Laws
are passed that give protection to killing innocent babies by the
millions in abortion clinics. The horror of these acts are
sugar-coat by referring to them with innocent sounding terminology
like "pro-choice" and "a woman's right to choose".
God
is removed out of the public school systems and Christianity is
replaced with the false
religion of evolution.
Children
are indoctrinated
in
this false religious system and a wall
of protection has
been built around this failed theory to shield it from nearly all
criticism in the secular public environment. Young people today, are
turning
away from
God because they believe evolution has proven the Bible wrong.
Children
are indoctrinated in the public schools to believe that homosexuality
is
a morally acceptable life-style. Many in the christian churches have
accepted this life-style and believe it must be embraced in the body
of Christianity with love. Society is so inundated by sexual imagery
that men and women are caught up in the sin of lust in one way or
another.
Premarital
sex is recognized as common law marriage. Today more than 50% of all
children born in the United States are born out of wedlock. In many
cases, single mothers have children with the intention of not getting
married to the father because they don't feel they need a husband to
properly raise the children. Having a child out of wedlock has almost
completely lost the stigma that it is sinful even in christian
churches.
Feminism
and political correctness have poisoned the christian churches.
Christian compromise with evolution have lead to all kinds of other
gross misinterpretations and applications of scripture. These and
many other States Sponsored SINS like alcohol, tobacco and gambling
are all part of the democratic system that is accepted in the
forehead, the mark of the beast.
