Bible Question: It is said that Masons worship other gods, with their secret names and other peculiarisms, I would have concluded that perphaps that was the start of the Mark of the Beast system, however seeing that there are no marks on the head or forehead..........can anyone explain the mark of the Beast? reading from Revelations I know that it is a visible mark otherwise people would not be able to buy or sell. I don't think it is a credit card system either. Certainly in the u.k they don't give credit cards to people below a certain income. |
Bible Answer: Revelation 13:16-18 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six. Revelation 14:9 And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, Revelation 14:11 And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name. Revelation 15:2 And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name, stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God. Revelation 19:20 And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone. Revelation 20:4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years. It appears that the mark is a number and the number is associated with the Name of the Beast and the Beast is the antichrist Rev 13:11 We do not know what it is yet. But when it begins people that read the Bible and know the Lord will understand. And it will be required that the receipient must do something horrible such as deny Christ or even blashpeme the Holy Spirit. Understand that this all occurs after the Church is taken up to the Lord and judgements are poured out on mankind. Those that refuse the mark at that time will suffer greatly but in the end they will be saved. |
