Casiv Your a treat! The numbering system is hexadecimal or base 16 not "hex". Casiv I don't know where you got my fear factor from but I assure you the only thing I fear is not representing God as I should. And that fear is not that God will get mad at me but rather that I might tarnished the name of Christianity (as so many have today). Rest easy my friend I live and breath and have my being in Christ Jesus and I in Him comes a peace that passes all understanding. Now about labeling you. Casiv I never intended nor attempted to label you. I merely said that you evaded direct questions and by that action I felt you lost some credibility with the forum and with me. As to the mark of the beast you said you had the answer, I respectfully requested you to tell me that answer, You provided “a” answer but when I mentioned what I saw to be a conflict between your answer and Bible and asked for you to resolve that conflict you got hostile. My question still stands if the mark of the beast is Ideology as you stated then how will it be taken and how will anyone know where you stand? I think the Bible clearly indicates it will be some form of physical mark. If you don’t see this fine help me understand what you see. There is no reason to get hostile. As for the number eleven that my friend was a spoof (an attempt at humor). I thought it to be very funny evidently you mistakenly took it as real. I’m sorry it was lost on you. :-) EdB |

Hi Ed, Either my thick head put a smile on your face or you are wondering how dumb I am?, but, it is merely a deep heart that keeps me here. Anyway, my wife tells me I am a treat also :-). I like the number 16 much better because in biblical mathematics it represents Love. I don't believe the mark to be a computer chip, or iris scan, or social security card or any other visible means of marking. I believe satan is much more intelligent than putting a mark on people that will be easily recognized. We know the mark must be internationally understood and this is why I believe that today many different nations, by the works of the peoples hands create machines of war, to force upon people and nations, to participate with them for their one common goal, the will of the new world order. As you can see I believe the physical mark of the beast is to be a partaker in the building of the one world beast system through the labor of hands and the sweat of the brow. I think this answers the mark in the hand which feeds and furthers the beast system, by physically enabling it to happen. I have a feeling your next question might be what about Rev 13:16,17?. Rev 13:16, I believe covers ALL the different types of people in the world. The best way I can think of to explain Rev 13:17 is if the one world order every truly and completely comes into operation, the world and everything in it will be controlled by one government that will decide what is bought and sold, so no matter how you look at it if you buy or sell it will be from the one world order that controls the world. Really this already happens, how about the G8 formally known as the G7. You really should go back to what praisemaster wrote he gave some great in depth detail. Anyway, this is why I think it goes back to the mind. Just because you may buy groceries from a store that is controlled within a one world government does not mean you accept the one world government. I still stand by the fact that it is a spiritual fight and the Word confirms this by telling us to take the mind of Christ, understanding in the spirit by fearing the one who can kill our body and soul and not the ones who can kill only our body. I really would like to see more people talking about the beast system and understanding its components and how they all fight each other, then perhaps we could move on to understanding the way the enemy has been working us over for along time. Look at the division in Christianity alone, what a struggle! We fight over how to baptize, how to pray, over the meanings of numbers, etc...The enemy has alot to accuse man of huh? I hope this does answer the question of what I believe is the mark. Thanks! Casiv |

Casiv I agree with the one world government, I agree that it will control what we buy and sell, I agree to be part of the system you will have to make an intentional decision to do so. However I disagree that Satan will not use something that everyone can see. Look around you gothic kids, and such put marks and wear symbols that proudly proclaim their allegiance to the dark side. Look at the witches and warlocks they too proudly display signs of Satan. Satan is no afraid of a little advertising in fact I think it plays right into his ego. No I think the mark of the beast is a visible physical mark that will be worn proudly by those deceived to believe the antichrist is the Christ. I think the mark will start out a s a fad, a thing the “in” crowd does but eventually the Antichrist will be so taken with the adoration he will demand everyone to exhibit his mark and pay homage to him. I believe the bible clearly shows the mark to be a visible mark, and I think once we come under the one world government you will not be able to buy or sell unless you carry the mark. I believe many of the things the things you do as far as how the one world government will come into being and what will motivate it. I don’t believe it in itself is an explanation of the mark. Now as far as you and being thick and etc. I don’t think your thick but I think your hiding something. You have been repeatedly asked by others on the forum, as to what group you belong, or what church do you attend. You have refused to answer. I happen to be Assemblies of God, others are Methodist, Brethren, Baptist, etc. What are you? I also see a relationship with Praisemaster that doesn’t seem correct, something is wrong there and I can’t put my hand on it. I do imagine others close to you have expressed the same concern. Maybe it is time to listen to them. EdB |

Good morning Ed, It seems we agree on many things, this is good! Regarding physical marks, I also think satans ego enjoys things that are visual representing his teachings. Witches and warlocks, Harry Potter sure I think these are physical marks. Look at what I think is the most obvious mark, the five pointed star aka the pentagram. I think they use this mark for whatever ungodly worships they do and it is everywhere. No matter which way you turn the five pointed star it is still a pentagram. Look at flags in the world, evil is rampant and way out of control. Look at a list of occult symbols and see the signs they use in their evil and you will be shocked at how many of the signs you see everyday in logos and never thought anything about them. A star is a star to me but for ungodly reasons they and other symbols mean alot to the evil side, perhaps this is the ego you had mentioned. Where I live I can buy groceries from two stores, one has a pyramid for a logo and the other a serpent looking "s". I feel blessed to have been born in the US but tell me why is there a pyramid with an all seeing eye on the back of the one dollar bill and why is the lid not attached? What does the pyramid represent? Maybe we should ask one of our founding fathers, I am sure they knew. It says in God we trust, yet there is an egyptian god on the bill. We live in a great country, where I believe most people have good intentions that have been led astray. Who is the economic dynasty of the world which is one fourth of the beast system that I believe brings the antichrist into power? I am finding that people are really under estimating satan, they think he is stupid or something. One of my friends hit the nail on the head when they said the greatest thing satan ever did is convincing the world he didn't exist. I figure satan knows the Bible better than any of us and is wiser than any beast of the field(the field is the world), that is why Christ says "it is written" cause you better know the Book. Anyway, these are my opinions gathered through my studies and I am but a small man dwelling within beams from an unfamiliar sun, waiting to leap free back to the outstretched arms of Love. I wear no labels because I am Faith and Hope which is not seen, but found in the heart of the blessed. What do you think I am? Peace, Casiv |

I watched a program on Discovery about secret societies. The pyramid and eye theoretically came from founding fathers who were masons. The eye is supposed to be God's eye. I can't remember the reasoning behind the pyramid. A mystical source of power or something like that. Mmmmm, the almighty dollar. Seems fitting don't you think? The bible says, with regards to money, you can't serve two gods. The more we lean towards materialism the further from God we get. It's so desperately sad that people -Good Christian People- don't understand this. I have a family member who loves to get dressed up and go to church. Talks about it all the time. But does she love God? Well, yes, but not as much as she loves her extensive wardrobe, SUV and 3 bedroom house. I weep for it. But she goes to church and deeply believes that is all that matters. pray for them, Lisa |

Hi Lisa, I understand some of your sadness but I return to Romans every once in a while as a reminder of why many are the way they are. Rom 11:8 - (According as it is written, "God hath given them the spirit of slumber, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear";) unto this day. Rom 11:9 - And David saith, "Let their table be made a snare, and a trap, and a stumblingblock, and a recompence unto them: Rom 11:10 - Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see, and bow down their back alway." Rom 11:11 - I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall? God forbid: but rather through their fall salvation is come unto the Gentiles, for to provoke them to jealousy. Please continue in this chapter for more hope. Somtimes it is hard to remember we are not to judge others, when our whole lives in the flesh we are made to judge constantly. Hang in there with your family member, one day she will come around. Peace in faith and hope, Casiv |
