The False Prophet & the Mark of the Beast

 

VIDEO: The False Prophet and the Mark of the Beast

We will continue studying the Book of Revelation, not assuming we will find all the answers, but knowing much will remain a mystery until the events begin to unfold. We are quite willing to agree to disagree on many of the interpretations which are only “theory” and cannot be proven at this time. We study the revelation given to the Apostle John so that our minds are open to possibilities, should these events begin to happen in our generation.

And I beheld another Beast coming up out of the Earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spoke as a dragon. And he exercises all the power of the first Beast before him, and causes the Earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first Beast, whose deadly wound was healed. (Revelation 13:11-12 AKJV)

We have discussed the first Beast. We also know that the AntiChrist will be healed of a deadly head wound. The last Beast was a spiritual army of Satan. Is this Beast also an army?

• “Coming up out of the Earth” - there is a powerful organization that is a physical presence upon this Earth, right now.
• “Two horns like a lamb” - a religious leader, i.e. pastor, prophet, apostle... (Pope). Because it is “like,” it is an imitation of the Lamb of God.
• “Spoke as a dragon” - a Dragon is one of the names of Satan, so it is connected to the enemy.

This describes a religious leader that imitates Christianity, but is actually from the enemy; a wolf in sheep’s or shepherd's clothing. What this person declares is aligned with the kingdom of darkness and sin.

This Double-Horned Beast causes others to worship “the first Beast whose deadly wound was healed.” Catholicism tells us to look to and pray to certain people referred to as saints. Often, they are associated with miracles and martyrdom. The following is what the Pope has said versus what the Word of God says concerning statements made by the Pope:

1. The Pope called for, “the legalization of same-sex civil unions for the first time as Pope, a shift from the Catholic Church’s longstanding doctrine on LGBTQ rights…” Forbes Oct 21, 2020,10:53am EDT, “Pope Francis Endorses Civil Unions For Same-Sex Couples”

The Word of God says:

“You shall not lie with a man as with a woman; it is an abomination. (Leviticus 18:22 AMPC)

This means we cannot support a homosexual union in any way: that is supporting sin. 

 2. The Pope was quoted as saying, “Everyone can go to Heaven, even atheists!” -  he is uniting people in a “one world religion”

The Word of God says:

Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man comes to the Father, but by Me.” (John 14:6 AKJV)

“Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under Heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.” (Acts 4:12 AKJV)

It is clear that the Catholic church is not lined up with the most crucial aspects of Christianity. The Pope has also put his stamp of approval upon the “Global Financial Reset” we have previously discussed. Uniting people in a “one world religion” is preparing them all to surrender to the AntiChrist and worship him as a god. These are good indications that the Pope may very well be the false prophet who is in the world now.

And he does great wonders, so that he makes fire come down from Heaven on the earth in the sight of men, and deceives them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the Beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the Beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live. (Revelation 13:13-14 AKJV)

After the mortal head wound of the AntiChrist is healed, when he and the false prophet are together, the false prophet is granted some miraculous powers. These are not false miracles.  These are actual events occurring on the Earth, but they are powered by Satan’s kingdom.

This is further evidence that when Satan is kicked out of Heaven in the middle of Daniel’s Week, the Devil will reside inside and possesses the AntiChrist, for only in his presence are these able to occur. The Devil will be limited – he is not omnipresent. He has to be present when the false prophet speaks in order to know what he needs to make happen. The image is something that is created in the likeness of the AntiChrist, that the false prophet rallies people to create.

And he had power to give life to the image of the Beast, that the image of the Beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the Beast should be killed. (Revelation 13:15 AKJV)

There will be a created object that is granted life to speak. This sounds like some sort of Artificial Intelligence (AI) - a man-made creation brought to life by the false prophet. The influence of this evil pair is unprecedented - those who do not worship it will be killed. Will the Pope’s one world church back the Islam tradition of beheading those who do not submit to their beliefs? We must wait and see what part the false prophet will play in the killing of those who do not submit.

Worship is often understood as singing songs or placing offerings before carved images. The Greek word proskyneō (pros-koo-neh’-o) is “used of homage shown to men and beings of superior rank.” Homage is to show special honor or respect publicly. This could be as simple as signing a contract that allows an AI to control your life because it is “superior.”

There have been a plethora of movies and television shows based around this concept. Usually, the plot is along the lines of a computer-generated program that takes control of mankind. The Bible brings it to a whole new level as those who don’t go along are killed in a particular fashion. The danger is so great that both Daniel and Jesus spoke about it:

When you therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoever reads, let him understand:) (Matthew 24:15 AKJV)

And arms shall stand on his part, and they shall pollute the sanctuary of strength, and shall take away the daily sacrifice, and they shall place the abomination that makes desolate. (Daniel 11:31 AKJV)

The “abomination of desolation” and the “abomination that makes desolate” are the same event, the one Lord spoke of when telling His disciples what to look for. Because this is a conversation, it can be difficult to follow. We will have to look at the complete statement over several chapters to understand each piece and put it together. For now, let’s see when this will take place:

And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that makes desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days. (Daniel 12:11 AKJV)

The sacrifices are taken away in the middle of Daniel’s Week: three-and-a-half years into the Tribulation. The AntiChrist stands in the temple and declares himself to be God, then it takes three-and-a-half years for the AI to be set up in the temple.

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. (Revelation 20:4 KJV)

Some that refuse to worship the Beast and take the Mark will suffer the ultimate punishment: beheading. There will be a reward for this steadfast devotion: ruling with Jesus for 1,000 years.

The Greek word Οὐ is used to connect “worship the Beast,” “his image,” and “received his Mark…” This small word can mean no, not, neither and “or not.” Is there an added bonus for not receiving the Mark? Another passage seems to say that merely taking the Mark of the Beast may not prevent you from going to Heaven:

….If any man worship the Beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand (Revelation 14:9 AKJV)

There is a different conjunctive joining these actions: kai (kigh) which means “and, also, even, for, if, or, so.” It is translated as “and” but it could also be “or.” It truly isn’t entirely clear which it is. Until I hear from the Lord, I will not advise Christians one way or the other concerning taking a Mark upon their right hand or head. The pressure to take the Mark of the Beast will be great.

And he causes 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. (Revelation 13:16-17 AKJV)

Without the Mark of the Beast, the name of the Beast or the number of his name you will not be able to buy or sell. For the first time in the history of the world, we have sufficient technology to eliminate physical money. If all currency is digital, it will be much easier to control who gets to buy and sell.

...Let him that has understanding count the number of the Beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore (60) and six. (Revelation 13:18 AKJV)

This chapter in Revelation began by describing the Beast: the power of Satan’s army upon this Earth which touches all mankind (Revelation 13:1). It ends with a description to help us identify it. Because God created man on the sixth day, metaphorically speaking, the number six represents man and a score is equal to 20 years. We are told to watch for the number 666 which is the number of the Beast.

There exists a newly patented technology that fits all of the criteria for implementing the “Mark of the Beast.” Microsoft has received a patent number: WO2020060606 for one of its inventions. Let’s break down that number:

• WO-2020-060606
• WO - refers to the fact that the patent is worldwide
• 2020 - the year the patent was established
• 060606 - zero means, literally, nothing. 06 is actually the number six. three of them make the number 666 which is the number of the Beast - according to Revelation 13.

This is a worldwide patent which is the number of the Beast. The product is called “CRYPTOCURRENCY SYSTEM USING BODY ACTIVITY DATA” which will:

• Connect people to a server where data can be exchanged
• Monitor the movements and activities of people
• Hold online currency for each person

This will be accomplished through a “microneedle technology” or a small chip implanted under the skin which is still in development. There is a great tribulation coming and we are told that the number 666 will mark the Beast and wisdom is needed to understand what it means.

Although the patent for the US was denied and is being resubmitted, Bill Gates is pushing this technology as an answer to COVID19. It can track who you come into contact with, your personal and financial information, and even medical records. With these chips implanted in a person’s hand, one can be denied buying or selling.

Should we get the chip? This question may be premature. The full microneedle system is still in development. There is a lot that happens before the AntiChrist uses this power to its fullest extent. We don’t have to worry about this new technology until we see:

• A seven-year agreement signed by many nations
• Sacrifices and offerings being performed in a reconstructed temple
• Two Anointed Witnesses giving testimony against countries as they declare the plagues of Moses during a drought
• The leader of the agreement receiving a mortal wound which is healed

When you see all of these events occurring together, the final ruler who is filled with Satan himself, will have the power to dominate the world within three-and-a-half years. Jesus told us when to be concerned:

“...Therefore when you see the ‘abomination of desolation,’ spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place” (whoever reads, let him understand) (Matthew 24:15 AKJV)

Jesus confirmed His rule on Earth would happen after we see the AntiChrist standing in the temple. This is when it is time to flee. Paul also tells us not to take action too early:

Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; Who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sits in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.  (2 Thessalonians 2:3-4 AKJV)

We must not be fooled into giving into fear. Christians should remain calm until we see the AntiChrist in the temple declaring himself to be God. However, as calamities continue, we need to look to the Bible for guidance. In the final chapter of Daniel, he was told:

But you, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end… (Daniel 12:4 AKJV)

God had sealed the understanding of what Daniel was saying until the right time. I have read the Book of Revelation many times. I couldn’t quite grasp how everything fit together, but when I heard about the Microsoft patent, the Lord told me to read Revelation and Daniel. It was as if pieces of a puzzle I couldn't’ fit together, suddenly fell into place all on their own. It was easy to understand!

Since our Lord left, they have been saying that He is returning soon. We were told to look for certain events. Those key moments in time are now coming to pass. Right now, every Christian should know that our Lord’s return is at hand. He is right at the door!

In the next seven to ten years there will be many events that make the Coronavirus look like a day at the beach. For now, we must be aware that the Beast is beginning to come out of the water. The method of his power over the nations has been revealed. It is time to get ready for what is coming!

Roadmap to Heaven

Destroying Curses
in the Courts of Heaven

Many people think of boot camp as a place you train for combat. Any veteran will tell you that basic training is about three things:

• Knowing what weapons are available 

• Learning how to use those weapons 

• Receiving orders and following them 

Believer’s Boot Camp series is a collection of books which teach us how to hear more clearly from God with the goal to ready ourselves for a face-to-face meeting with our Lord, Jesus. The series reveals the “weapons and tools” God has given us and how to use them, so we can bring God’s kingdom to Earth. Each book in the series focuses on a single topic to clearly define one tool or weapon from our Heavenly Father. 

The series uses the Word of God to reveal all that He has given us through Jesus. The Bible is our instruction manual and the Holy Spirit is our guide to understanding it.

Why Doesn't God Speak to Me?

Believers’ Boot Camp, Volume 1

Eager hearts cry out, hoping for a single word to confirm that He hears us. Yet, many times the only sound is silence. Over the years I have heard several reasons why God speaks to some and not to others. One night, as I tossed and turned, I brought each of these reasons before the Lord, stating why each of them did not line up with who I thought He was. 

Words rose from my soul, pleading for Him to reveal why He has remained silent when a single word from Him would mean so much to so many. For the next few hours, God used things I learned about years ago and things I had just discovered to show why He talks to some and why He doesn’t, and in demonstrative ways. 

In His grace, He also showed me how people could hear more from Him. Basic instructions on how to hear more from God and how to be led by Him are included in this book. Thank you for taking time to consider the answers I received and share with you now.

Keys to Authority for Every Believer

Believers’ Boot Camp, Volume 2

There is untapped power that is easy for every Christian to access in the form of authority. The keys to this authority will unlock weapons we can use to free ourselves from the attacks of the enemy. We must be intimately aware of the bounds and limitations of our weapon if they are to be used effectively. 

Find out about your authority:

• Why you need it.
• Where it comes from.
• What you can do with it.
• How to get more.

Destroying Curses in the Courts of Heaven

Believers’ Boot Camp, Volume 3

Our rights to appear in the Courts of Heaven have been greatly undervalued. The missing key to our authority is here. Jesus has provided the access and the Bible shows us the court procedures. When we learn to operate in our rightful place as children of the Most High, the enemy will be defeated and we will see the victory we have prayed for.

The death of Jesus freed us from the curse of the law. However, we must declare this freedom just as we must make a declaration for our salvation.

• Can curses be passed to our children?
• What are signs of a curse?
• How do you get rid of one?

Every answer is backed by scripture. Come and find out how easy it is to be free!

Roadmap to Heaven

Believers’ Boot Camp, Volume 4

As I meditated and sought the Lord, a vision overcame me. A “Roadmap to Heaven” was deposited into my soul. We are entering a season of unparalleled access to Heaven. Jesus is calling all who are His to visit with Him in the Secret Place of the Most High.

• What is the Secret Place?

• How do we enter?

• What will we find there?

The Bible holds the answers, the mystery has been revealed. As you use the map given in this book to journey to the Secret Place, discover your destiny and find the gifts the Holy Spirit will bring along the way.
