A Mark In the Forehead "Revelation 13:16"

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.
