The “mark of the beast”

666

There are many different speculative theories as to just what the “mark of the beast” is. Here is one more as food for thought:

Most people are looking forward to the future and think the “mark” is a computer chip or laser label embedded in the skin of a person’s right hand or forehead. But look back on history and it is easy to see that just such a time and place existed where men could not either “buy or sell unless he had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of his name.” (Revelation 13:17) There also existed in the same place at the same time a situation where “all who refused to worship the image to be killed.” (Rev 13:15) This time and place was Europe during the middle ages. Unless men worshipped the beast (the Catholic Church) they were excommunicated and/or killed. A quick perusal of Fox’s Book of Martyrs will prove this to be true.

 

There are  two questions to consider about this mark:

1.) It is associated with the right hand and forehead

2.) It has something to do with 666

As already demonstrated on the previous page, 666, can be equated with “VICARIVS FILII DEI” , Latin for “Vicar of the Son of God”             

 

Latin                           English          numerical equivalents

VICARIVS                  vicar                5+1+100+1+5           =  112

FILII                             of the son       1+50+1+1                  =    53

DEI                              of God            500+1                         =  501

                                                                                                +_____

                                                                                                     666

Roman numerals:

I=1

V=5

C=100

L=50

D=500

Now as far as the “right hand” and “forehead” goes, think about it. When do Roman Catholics make a sign, or mark? What does it involve? Does it not start with the right hand and forehead when they “cross” themselves? (and why is it an upside-down cross?) Do they not “baptize” by sprinkling on the forehead, thus giving the “mark of the beast”? As shown also on the previous page, a “beast” in apocalyptic language represents a kingdom. Since Christ’s church is also represented in the New Testament as the kingdom of God, it would be reasonable to assume God is telling us this mark of the beast will be the mark of a false church.

 

 

The mark of the beast…

   

 

 

 

 

Worshipping the image of the beast…

 

 

Thousands upon thousands worshipping an idol made of lifeless materials…

The Catholic Church is a blend of Semiramis worship and Roman Emperor worship. Long ago, in ancient Babylon, was a pagan system of worship that was based on the Queen of Babylon, Semiramis and her infant “god” son, Damu. This paganism had spread throughout the ancient world and after Christ came in the flesh, and as the church grew and eventually became corrupted, the Catholic priests who went about the world evangelizing encountered this mother goddess and child wherever they went no matter what culture they came upon.

To make “conversion” to “Christianity” easier, the priests incorporated this paganism into the church. They changed Semiramis to Mary. They changed her son, Damu, to Jesus. Hence the Madonna and child was transferred from ancient Babylon and incorporated into the teachings of the church. No wonder God refers to this corrupt, perverted  “church” as “the whore of Babylon”! (A spiritual slut) See Revelation 17:4-6.

Likewise, as the Roman Empire lost ground, and the emperor became weaker, the pope grew up in his place and eventually replaced the Roman emperor. So emperor worship was also incorporated into this perverted bride, and displayed in the position of the pope.

And that is why we see elements both of Rome and of Babylon in the Catholic Church and find allusions to both in references to the whore in the book of Revelation.

Revelation 14:9-11
A third angel followed them and said in a loud voice: "If anyone worships the beast and his image and receives his mark on the forehead or on the hand, he, too, will drink of the wine of God's fury, which has been poured full strength into the cup of his wrath. He will be tormented with burning sulfur in the presence of the holy angels and of the Lamb. And the smoke of their torment rises for ever and ever. There is no rest day or night for those who worship the beast and his image, or for anyone who receives the mark of his name."
