In today's society, that folks who no very little about the Lord call secular, everything seems to have a number and a name "given" to it or them by someone or something else.
In WWII Men in concentration and death and prisoner of war camps were numbered and catalogued like animals, and even given tattoos or brands to make sure they would not loose their number, which became, for the government that gave them the number, their name.
Their Identification was their NUMBER. Their NUMBER and their NAME were one and the same. And it was MARKED upon their flesh. Do you see, they were forced to have a Number that was their Name that was MARKED upon them?
“Number 149703589 please step forward and get your meal and clothing!”
Today men and women stand in lines at food stamp offices and welfare offices with their Social Security Number in order to get food and shelter and clothing. I went to a "Bill Pay" office today to pay my electric bill and noticed that they also do LOANS... for anyone who has a Social Security Number. Those who do not have a SS number or refuse to furnish one will not be permitted to BUY FOOD with the money that they might have gotten had they had the SS number.
The Number is YOU as far as those who loan money or what we think of as money are concerned. When the IRS sends out a bill or a notice they send it to a NUMBER that is a "Personal Name". When you try to find a Job, one of the first things that you are asked for is your Social Security Number so that they can do a background check on that NUMBER.
Does that NUMBER owe anyone any money?
Does that Number pay it's bills on time?
Does that number own property, a car, a home?
Has that number ever been in court?
Has it any liens against it?
Does it have any traffic violations?
Has it ever been sick or had an operation or have any record in the Medical world that we need to know about?
Has it a checking account?
Any Credit Cards?
HMMM are you numbered to do business? To Buy and Sell? Work and Play?
“We will call you Mr. 6. your friend will be Mr. 7 and so forth and no one will ever have your name ( I mean Number) it will be unique to you and even after you are dead, your number, the real you, will live on, unique in our files. Your Number will never Die. We will give you eternal Life!”
What you count as your money is NUMBERED individually, regardless of the country you come from.
Your Checks ( Cheques) are all individually Numbered,
Your credit Card has it's own number and your Driver License has it's own Number. And all these Numbers are cross referenced to your Social Security Number. Soon the cash you get will be only given to you when the numbers on it are registered to you somehow. Your electricity will not be turned on with out it. The supermarkets will refuse to sell you products without it for they will not be able to transact the business without the number. Your birth certificate is numbered and now they even have the SS number on it. If you wish to be married with a state issued marriage license, they ask for your SS number and your spouses' SS number as well. When you have Children in the hospital, they will come into your room within hours of your child's birth with all the paperwork needed to NUMBER them JUST like they NUMBERED you. After all you would not want the government to think you were a poor custodian for a future potential NUMBER. Would you?
“OK Mr. 6 and Mrs 7 you can now take little 372 to your 10 digit ZIP code and wait further instructions.”
OH I would never take a Number... Wake up! you already have been conditioned to do so and that without even thinking about it. Sometimes for convenience, sometimes for fear. But you see the Anti-Christ forces know just how to go after you, The Love of MONEY!
The Bible states clearly "For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows."(1st Timothy 6:10) and so the Beast and his Image will cause all both small and great rich and poor to be motivated through commerce and the buying and selling process ( not the barter process that is way to complicated for most folks and the Anti-Christ knows this).
The fact is that when the time comes, most folks will want to get this NUMBER or they will already have one. The NUMBER is their NAME for most all buying and selling and traveling and health care and property ownership NOW already. For Now however their name is on a card in their wallet or purse or a "safe" in their home. What will happen when the request first comes down to have this NAME and NUMBER MARKED upon them or placed with in them?
Revelation 13:16 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:
Rev 13:17 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.
This is in fact an Issue of worship. Whom will you serve or shall I ask who are your serving? If the Mark and the name and the Number are in fact a micro-chip and you find yourself in the great tribulation spoken of by the Lord and you are not a BIBLE Christian,
Then YOU WILL willingly receive it. The Anti-Christ and his image will cause you to do it. And not as it is in the so called Rapture Books all over the net and bookstores, you will most likely WANT it, Just like you wanted your SS number and the other controlling numbers and name you have. God will send you a strong delusion that you should believe a lie that you might be damned because you had pleasure in unrighteousness and refused to Repent when you had the opportunity. The Bible says that ALL liars, Adulterers and thieves and everything that Offends needs to be gotten rid of, and unless Christ is your Lord and Saviour by faith YOU WILL Worship the beast just like everyone who rejects the truth now does. Your Love of money will be the rout of all evil. Your Job will be more important that the Lord and his truth. Your car, your belly, your home, your country and it's prosperity will all be more important that the truth of the Lord to you.
So many today are fighting against the upcoming ' Mark of the beast' there are thousands of websites warning folks about it, prophesying (
LOL ) about it, predicting what it is and who it will be that gives it. Most all of them have great sounding persons and strong web-leaders who proclaim their defiance and state they will never be tagged, chipped, tattooed or otherwise be "Marked or Named or Numbered. Yet these same people in the "Movement" have no problem being Named along with the Man of SIN in their everyday actions.
Liars, the Bible states that the Devil is the Father of LIES ,he is a Murderer and is ruled by his lusts. What difference is their in most of you people listening or reading this now?
How many of the so called patriots and freedom fighters are practicing Murderers? 1John 3:15 Whosoever
hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him.
How many are Adulterers and Adulteresses? James 4:4 Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.
How many are thieves and Covetous? 1Corinthians 6:9+10 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, 10 Nor thieves, nor covetous,nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.
How many of you are drunkards and still say you will not take the mark when it comes? I say you will and you will take it gladly!
Idol worshipers, Sodomites ( homosexuals), those who hold the truth in unrighteousness and who call God a LIAR will all line up and get their Number and Mark and Name.
Jesus asks a Question of those following him? “Whom do men say that I am?”
Mar 8:28 And they answered, John the Baptist: but some say, Elias; and others, One of the prophets…. But then Jesus asks another question: “… But whom say ye that I am?” And that is the great Question. Jesus said that only though HIM acknowledged as TRUTH could anyone be FREE INDEED. Ye shall KNOW the truth and the truth shall make you free.. And if the son shall set you free, ye shall be free indeed. You see my friends you are for all matters Numbered and Named and Marked already by your thoughts and actions and beliefs? Paul reminded the Romans of their former condition: “ ye were the servants of sin,” and
“Romans 6:20 For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from righteousness.”
And one would know ones master by one’s actions: Rom 6:16 Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness? John 8:34 Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever
committeth sin is the servant of sin. It was in this context and understanding that all have sinned and come short of the glory of God that Jesus said freedom was only possible to those who confessed that Jesus was the great I Am.. Unless you believe that I AM HE. Ye shall die in your sins.
THEY will DIE MARKED. All your effort to get clean will be for nothing. Those seeking to escape the Mark will find themselves MARKED with their own rebellion against God’s truth and unable to remedy their problem,
Jer 2:22 For though thou wash thee with nitre , and take thee much soap, yet thine iniquity is marked before me, saith the Lord GOD.
THEY DIE NUMBERED like Judas Iscariot: Mar 15:28 And the scripture was fulfilled, which saith, And he was numbered with the transgressors.
THEY will DIE with the MARK of HIS NAME upon them! Rev 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.
So think about this Mr. and Mrs. 67, your only hope of not being Marked and Named and Sold into the Slavery of the beast is to be bought by the Blood of Jesus Christ. You must Confess Christ alone and become his servant or be doomed as the servant of sin you already are. You must be marked and numbered by a Lord. All the talk of personal liberty and freedom outside of the context of Jesus Christ is nothing but sounding brass and tinkling cymbals. Cabbages and Kings!
You want freedom yet you are a slave to SIN.You want Liberty yet you are ruled by Lust .
You want to be a patriot, yet your father is the devil and the lust of your father ye will do. You want and claim Rights, yet you DO wrong.In the words of many, they are free, yet they are not free indeed, they are in fact Slaves and servants to the world the flesh and the Devil. Many reading this who are in fact servants of the Devil will not believe this. Might I say at this point, you have been taken captive by him (2 Tim 2:26) and he lies to you about your freedom. He proposes that which can not be.
Freedom without righteousness, for Jesus Christ is our righteousness and it is HE who came to set the captives free.
Liberty without The Spirit of the Lord ( 2Co 3:17 Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.) and
and
Rights without law.
What most are really looking for is the Right to do Wrong. The problem is, is that there is no such thing.
No one has the RIGHT to DO wrong though they may be given the choice and or the ability and opportunity to do so.
Not everyone has the Right even to partake of that which is good without first abiding by certain rules or obligations. For example, Revelation 22:14 states
“Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.”
The Lord also declares through the author of the Book of Hebrews chapter 13:10 that
“ We have an altar, whereof they have no right to eat which serve the tabernacle.”
So the right to go to heaven is conditional and the right to come to the alter of God in prayer is conditional. In other words they are not something that everyone has simply because they ‘want them’. Every man has the RIGHT to justice, Why ? Because God said so, God granted them that Right. Do they have the RIGHT to have it their own way? No. They do however have the RIGHT to have their cause heard and to have their issues judged according to the Laws of God in regard to their issue. They have the RIGHT to be judged not be WHO they are but according to the facts in their cases.
Deuteronomy 16:18-20
Judges and officers shalt thou make thee in all thy gates, which the LORD thy God giveth thee, throughout thy tribes: and they shall judge the people with just judgment.
19 Thou shalt not wrest judgment; thou shalt not respect persons, neither take a gift: for a gift doth blind the eyes of the wise, and pervert the words of the righteous.
20 That which is altogether just shalt thou follow, that thou mayest live, and inherit the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.
You have the RIGHT to have to be accused by at least TWO witnesses in order to be convicted of a crime. You have the right to face your accusers;
Deu 19:15
One witness shall not rise up against a man for any iniquity, or for any sin, in any sin that he sinneth: at the mouth of two witnesses, or at the mouth of three witnesses, shall the matter be established.
IN other words you have the right, because GOD granted it to you, and sometimes only under certain conditions. Now under a classic understanding of a RIGHT most folks reading this will confuse the word with ability or opportunity, yet as We have seen already this is simply false. You do not have a right to conspire to unlawfully take a mans property from him. You do not have the RIGHT to steal. You do not have the right to lie in wait and Kill someone. You do not have the RIGHT to another man or woman’s Wife or Husband. In other words you do not have the right to commit Adultery or Incest or Sodomy or any other such crime against God and his Law. What you have is the Ability. You do not have the RIGHT to be numbered or as someone who is a Christian, to sell yourself back to the devil, You do not have the RIGHT to follow a multitude to do Evil. You do not have a right to do as you please yet surly the ability is there and the will may also be there. The ACLU thinks people should have the right to be homosexuals, that they should be FREE and be at Liberty to be sodomites. Yet the definition of what are RIGHTS simply does not fit, unless you allow those who would pervert the truth to determine the truth. When defining the word RIGHT Noah Webster stated
2. In morals and religion, just; equitable; accordant to the standard of truth and justice or the will of God. That alone is right in the sight of God, which is consonant to his will or law; this being the only perfect standard of truth and justice.
In social and political affairs, that is right which is consonant to the laws and customs of a country, provided these laws and customs are not repugnant to the laws of God.
As an ADVERB he states that rights are 2. According to the law or will of God, or to the standard of truth and justice; as, to judge right..
As a NOUN he then states that a RIGHT is in
1. Conformity to the will of God, or to his law, the perfect standard of truth and justice. In the literal sense, right is a straight line of conduct, and wrong a crooked one. Right therefore is rectitude or straightness, and perfect rectitude is found only in an infinite Being and his will.
Who is it that ultimately determines what words mean and how they are to be used, Sinful men who hold the truth in unrighteousness and rejoice in SIN calling it Good? Or God?
Do all men have the RIGHT to LIFE ?
Amos 5:14 Seek good, and not evil, that ye may live: and so the LORD, the God of hosts, shall be with you, as ye have spoken.
Do men have the RIGHT to declare something Good that is not Good according to the LORD?
Isaiah 5:20 Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
Isa 5:21 Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!
The constitution of the united states protects rights, but rights are not the whims of men. Rights are sometimes obligations and sometimes simply conformity to DO RIGHT. This is why the Colonialists stated that Resistance to tyranny is service to God. They knew that if a Tyrant dictated action from his subjects that was contrary to the will of God that to serve him would be in effect to NEGLECT our RIGHTS or to be deprived of them and be forced to do WRONG. You do not have the RIGHT to be conformed to the world yet you may certainly have the ABILITY the Inclination and even the desire to do so. You may feel that it is your RIGHT yet God said it is WRONG. You have the ability yet God would have you as a Christian exercise you’re your RIGHT and serve him.
Those who are in rebellion have no such right.
Look for a moment in a thesaurus and see what words are most like or are interchangeable with the word “Right” as we are looking at the concept: Lawful, Righteous, Virtuous etc. Where as the modern dictionaries and the new Legal Dictionaries have no standard such as the word has been delivered through biblical record. Their MODERN understanding is of a RIGHT is that which is
“considered fair or morally acceptable by most people” “ What is considered to be morally good or acceptable“ ( Cambridge Dictionary Online)
The problem with this is that the people are the determining factor and it is their authority by which something is or is not a right. This also presents a problem that even if it is determined that a certain thing or action is a RIGHT, it will lie with the people to determine WHO and HOW a particular RIGHT is applied or claimed and exercised. Merriam Webster’s modern dictionary makes an interesting statement when defining RIGHTS or A RIGHT when it states
“ Right: (2)Something to which one has a just claim--often used in the plural…(3) something that one may properly claim as due
Are these RIGHTS under the true understanding of the word? The only way we can determine this is to ask the question from the one who is said to be the ONE lawgiver.
Mat 10:28 And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.
God is the only one who can destroy the soul in hell and he states that this is the fate of all those who forget God and who rebel against him. Those who hold the truth in unrighteousness. The Bible states that
James 4:12 There is one lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy: who art thou that judgest another?
James 4:15 For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that.
It is by HIS will that we LIVE, not by our RIGHT TO LIVE for there is no such right without the obligation of righteousness. One must DO or believe RIGHT to have the RIGHT to LIFE because ultimately LIFE is the grant of the LORD and Eternal LIFE is his GIFT granted to all those who trust his SON Jesus Christ.
So you do not have the RIGHT by birth NOT to be Marked or Tagged. YOU will be marked. The only question is by who. The LORD or by the ANTI-CHRIST.
YOU have no RIGHT to Freedom simply because you are born. Freedom is a GIFT Granted to those who SERVE the Lord Jesus Christ. LIBERTY like RIGHTS is nothing other than the ability to serve God properly, that is according to his Word. God Marks his for safety because they are HIS. Those that are not HIS are marked for destruction: Note what the LORD said to the angel before destruction was to come upon the people of Jerusalem.
“and set a mark upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry for all the abominations that be done in the midst thereof.”
…WHY?
“Slay utterly old and young, both maids, and little children, and women: but come not near any man upon whom is the mark;”
And in the Book of Revelation Chapter 22 God says of those who are in the new Jerusalem
Rev 22:4 And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads.
Those who rebel against GOD do not even have the RIGHT to know the truth. God himself as the Giver of RIGHTS determines who gets them and to whom they belong. As much as one might wish otherwise the fact remains that RIGHTS are predicated on Conformity to the will of God, or to his law, the perfect standard of truth and justice. For those who do not receive the truth and seek to be just without the LORD,
2Th 2:10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 2Th 2:11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: 2Th 2:12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
Pleasure in unrighteousness results in being forbidden from knowing the truth.
I Have a RIGHT to KNOW!Truly? You said you do? What have you done to qualify yourself to know the truth or even the facts or information in question? Have you done anything or have you believed anything that would forbid you from a RIGHT to KNOW a given thing?
The ironic thing is that those of you reading this that do not have a RIGHT relationship with Christ, a relationship that grants access to the truth, will most likely be standing in a line one day demanding your RIGHT to be Marked and Numbered and Named by the Anti-Christ. You will do so and persecute those who do know the truth as though you were doing God’s service. Ironically enough you will be happy to do it and it will be a matter of your worship as you flounder under a strong delusion to believe a lie.
The rebellious now will be rebellious then. Those who take the mark of their god the devil now those who are named now will be named later.Their light that is actually darkness will blind their eyes to the truth when it comes down to taking the mark spoken of in Revelation 13, just as their light now has convinced them to take the name thief, liar, adulterer now with pride, proclaiming their sin as Sodom. Even more, They declare that they do God’s service when they persecute the Saints and they will continue to do so during the tribulation as they line up to proudly to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads. The mark that was already deep in their hearts to begin with. They worshiped their god in their sin and now they will be caused by their false god to proclaim it openly and proudly IN their foreheads and IN their right hands as a brand or mark, making them recognizable to those who deal in commerce in the future. The Commercial Church, the corporate mongrel of church and state controlled by the love of money will preach the doctrine of compliance to them and they will sit in pews and listen to great flowing oratories on the allegorical mystical nature of the book of Revelation. Their foolish hearts will be darkened as they profess themselves to be wise and are found as fools. They will be as GODS knowing good and evil, ever vigilant of their RIGHT to do WRONGS and their Liberty to be licentious!
OH what a delusion! To be
weighed in the balances and found wanting, to have built bigger barns to bestow their goods only to have their souls required of them. To be forgotten in the land of the living yet to remember in hell the good things that they once thought they had as they are tormented in the flames along with the rich man in Luke 16.
They WILL take the mark they fought so hard to avoid and do so as an act of worship. As if this were not enough of an ironic twist even more are under the delusion of the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man. They seek what God destroyed, a tower or system that seeks to reach beyond the reach of God. Somehow they feel that God will understand as they do their own thing calling it their Liberty to do so, and their Right. They confuse abilities with Rights. Yet for their whole lives here on earth they have done the same thing. Religion after religion falling to the beast and his false ecumenical doctrine of toleration. Toleration that is, of everything except the exclusive truth, the exclusionary truth of Jesus Christ as the ONLY way to have Freedom from the Beast and his Mark and His Name and the Number of his Name.
The Number of his Name? The Bible states that the Number of his name is the Number of a man. The Man of Sin. Let me ask a question at this point. If the man of sin has a fate called the lake of fire, what do you suppose the fate would be of all men or women OF sin should be? What is his Number? Six hundred thee score and six.
The Man of Sin, the Anti-Christ and those who follow him and his lie have as their base instinct, selfishness, where as Our Christ, Jesus and his people have as their center Sacrifice. The one group seeks and is taught to seek only their own satisfaction where as through Jesus Christ and his example we are constantly seeking and are taught to seek through the scriptures the well fare of others and the Glory of God. Satan promises autonomous godlike status and Jesus Christ gives true eternal life and a position of being Joint heirs of all. Satan said, disobey God and you shall be as Gods knowing good and evil, Jesus Said Obey God and Live forever and be the Sons of God.
Gen 3:4 And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:
Gen 3:5 For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.
The woman was deceived by this lie, the serpent exposing her selfishness deceived her into the lie of self gratification. One can not satisfy ones self. At least not for any extended time. The Fruit was pleasant to the eye and desired to make one wise, and so she ate and gave to her husband and he did eat. It was a satisfying taste for sure, but no sooner was it digested, no sooner was it past their taste buds, their eyes were opened and their nakedness was exposed. The knew good and evil, and the one EVIL they knew more than anything else was that they had disobeyed the LORD and so they hid themselves. They had pleasure for a season but death was at the door and they knew it. God had said to them that they were to not eat of the tree of the knowledge of Good and evil least the day that they ate thereof they should surely die. The Serpent said that this was a LIE and that they in fact could be as Gods themselves knowing Good and Evil.
SELF'ISH, a. Regarding one's own interest chiefly or solely; influenced in actions by a view to private advantage.
To be as God.. To ascend beyond the reach of accountability, to build a tower of Bable and reach to the very throne where one can establish one’s own rules and Ignore God’s Law. Another definition of Selfish in a religious or political garb would be Luciferianism.
