[2] The title of the sermon: “THE MARK OF THE BEAST.”

Has The Mark Of The Beast Already Happened?

  • With the times we’re living in right now, a sermon on the mark of the beast would be good.
  • With vaccine passports becoming popular across the world, we should study the mark of the beast.
  • Without a vaccine passport in some cities or countries, people can’t eat at restaurants.
  • What if they include grocery stores and restaurants?
  • You won’t be able to buy food without a vaccine passport. Is the vaccine passport the mark of the beast?

Let’s study the Scriptures today and find out more about the mark of the beast.

  • Where do we first see the mark of the beast? That would be in the Book of Revelation.
  • We look to Revelation Chapter 13 for the first mention of the mark of the beast.

[3] Revelation 13:1-2 And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy. 2 And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.

  • This first beast that we see is the antichrist. The dragon is Satan who is giving the antichrist his power.
  • Satan gives the antichrist his seat and great authority.

[4] Revelation 13:3 And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.

  • The antichrist is there during the beginning of end times events in Daniel’s 70th week.
  • But he isn’t ruling over the world during the first half of Daniel’s 70th week.
  • He gets a deadly wound in his head, but his wound is healed. He does great wonders.
  • “And ALL the world wondered after the beast.”
  • The world sees the signs that he does and wonders after him.

[5] Revelation 13:4-5 And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him? 5 And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.

  • In the midst or middle of Daniel’s 70th week, we see the abomination of desolation.
  • We see the people worshipping the dragon or Satan which gives power to the beast or antichrist.
  • They worship the beast or antichrist. This is the abomination of desolation.

[6] 2 Thessalonians 2:3-4 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; 4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.

  • The man of sin is the antichrist. The son of perdition is the antichrist.
  • At the abomination of desolation, he will sit in the temple of God and act as if he is God.
  • Don’t be deceived. He isn’t God. He isn’t Jesus Christ. He is only an imitation.

The abomination of desolation is right at the 3.5 year mark of the 7 years in Daniel’s 70th week.

  • The people say, “Who is like unto the beast? Who is able to make war with him?”
  • The antichrist speaks great things and blasphemies against God. He is given power to continue 42 months.
  • This is 3.5 more years that he will continue. But now he is in power. He wasn’t in power over the earth.
  • But now he is in power and will continue to be in power until the end.

God will answer the call to “who is able to make war with him?” We’ll see what happens.

  • God makes war with him and it’s not much of a war. It’s simple and easy for God.
  • The question I ask is: “Who is able to make war with Jesus Christ? Who is like Jesus Christ?”
  • Hey, let me tell you right now: “NO ONE CAN MAKE WAR WITH JESUS CHRIST. HE WINS.”

At the abomination of desolation, tribulation turns into GREAT TRIBULATION.

  • This is when the antichrist shifts his focus onto the Christians. He’s going to start killing them.
  • And why is this? They won’t bow down to worship him or his image.
  • The true Christians will make the antichrist angry. That’s why tribulation turns to great tribulation.
  • If God’s people weren’t going to go through tribulation, the Bible wouldn’t make any sense.

False preachers teach a pre-tribulation rapture and say that all believers will not be there for the tribulation.

  • Then who does the antichrist turn his attention to for the great tribulation?
  • There wouldn’t be any believers left if they were all raptured away before the tribulation begins.

[7] Revelation 13:6 And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.

  • Again, this is the abomination of desolation. He stands in the temple of God and blasphemes God.
  • He talks trash about God, Jesus Christ, His tabernacle, and to them who live in heaven.

[8] Revelation 13:7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.

  • The antichrist makes war with the saints and will overcome them.
  • How does he do that if they aren’t there? The truth is that Christians will go through tribulation.
  • Who are the saints? Use the actual Scriptures and you’ll find that the saints are sanctified people.
  • The saints are saved people who have believed on Jesus Christ. They have the Holy Spirit within.

The antichrist, at the abomination of desolation, comes into power and focuses on the saints.

  • He makes war with them. He overcomes them. Why? Because they won’t bow down to him.
  • We will see here in Revelation that saints will not take the mark of the beast. This makes him angry.
  • He’s going to make war with the saints and kill them.
  • Power was given him over ALL kindreds, ALL tongues, and ALL nations. He is now a world leader.

The Antichrist Isn’t A World Leader Until The Abomination Of Desolation

He wasn’t the leader of the world at the beginning of the tribulation.

  • But towards the end of the tribulation, which is not the end of Daniel’s 70th week, he comes into power.
  • And then he continues in power during the second half of Daniel’s 70th week or 42 months.

The second half of Daniel’s 70th week, approximately, is when God’s wrath is poured out.

  • We have tribulation, the abomination of desolation, great tribulation, second coming of Jesus Christ, God’s wrath is poured out, and then the end of Daniel’s 70th week comes.
  • The antichrist comes into power as a leader of the world at the abomination of desolation.

[9] Revelation 13:8-10 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. 9 If any man have an ear, let him hear. 10 He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.

  • All that dwell upon the earth whose names are not written in the Book of Life will worship the antichrist.
  • These worshippers of the antichrist are people who cannot be saved.
  • Their part has been removed from the Book of Life. They are reprobates or rejected by God.
  • Saved people will not worship the beast or the antichrist. This will not happen.
  • If someone does worship the beast, you will know that their name is not in the Book of Life.

[10] Revelation 13:11-12 And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. 12 And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.

  • This is the false prophet that will arise to help the antichrist.
  • The false prophet causes people who live on earth to worship the antichrist.

[11] Revelation 13:13-14 And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, 14 And deceiveth 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.

  • The false prophet, or second beast, does great wonders. Make sure you hear this and are not deceived.
  • Just because someone does great wonders, like the magicians in Egypt, this does not mean they are good.
  • They will blaspheme God, act as if they are God, do great wonders, and people will follow them.
  • Even though God warns us against this, so-called “Christians” will still follow after the beast.
  • Another thing I am sure of is that people who follow the religion of Judaism will wonder after the beast.

The false prophet deceives them that dwell on the earth by miracles. Don’t be deceived by this.

  • THE FALSE PROPHET WILL DO MIRACLES. The false prophet will preach for the antichrist.
  • The antichrist will be an imitation of Jesus Christ. Do you understand this?
  • Many will be saying that Jesus Christ is here. But it won’t be Jesus Christ. He says, “Do not believe them.”
  • The false prophet will preach that they should make an image to the beast.
  • He will preach that the beast had a deadly wound but he is alive. He will act as if he is God.
  • But we all know that he isn’t because we read the Book of Revelation and we believe God’s words.

We also know that we are commanded by God to NEVER make an image to worship. God doesn’t need an image.

  • God is everywhere. There is no image that describes Jesus Christ. A cross is a graven image.
  • Be very careful with your graven images. Do not bow down in front of a cross. God never says to do this.
  • If you do, you’re just practicing for the bowing that you’ll be doing to this graven image.

[12] Exodus 20:4-6 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: 5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; 6 And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.

  • When someone asks you to bow down and worship an image, will you do it?
  • Will you worship an image for a meal when you’re starving?
  • Or will you follow that commandment right there? DON’T MAKE ANY GRAVEN IMAGE TO WORSHIP.
  • DO NOT BOW DOWN THYSELF TO THEM. Never do this. Not to a cross or to any image.
  • God will never ask you to bow down to a graven image. NEVER. Remember that always.

[13] Exodus 23:24 Thou shalt not bow down to their gods, nor serve them, nor do after their works: but thou shalt utterly overthrow them, and quite break down their images.

[14] Leviticus 26:1 Ye shall make you no idols nor graven image, neither rear you up a standing image, neither shall ye set up any image of stone in your land, to bow down unto it: for I am the LORD your God.

[15] Joshua 23:7 That ye come not among these nations, these that remain among you; neither make mention of the name of their gods, nor cause to swear by them, neither serve them, nor bow yourselves unto them:

[16] Joshua 23:16 When ye have transgressed the covenant of the LORD your God, which he commanded you, and have gone and served other gods, and bowed yourselves to them; then shall the anger of the LORD be kindled against you, and ye shall perish quickly from off the good land which he hath given unto you.

[17] Judges 2:19 And it came to pass, when the judge was dead, that they returned, and corrupted themselves more than their fathers, in following other gods to serve them, and to bow down unto them; they ceased not from their own doings, nor from their stubborn way.

[18] 2 Kings 17:35 With whom the LORD had made a covenant, and charged them, saying, Ye shall not fear other gods, nor bow yourselves to them, nor serve them, nor sacrifice to them:

[19] Matthew 4:9 And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me.

  • Satan wants you to make graven images. He wants you to get accustomed to bowing down to them.
  • His antichrist is coming, and he wants you to worship his antichrist.
  • He wants you to worship an image that the antichrist sets up. But God warns you over and over again.
  • Don’t make an image and especially don’t bow down to that image. God warns us over and over again.

Bowing Down And Worshipping Images Will NEVER Work Out Well For You

The children of Israel wanted Aaron to make them a golden calf to worship. Read Exodus Chapter 32.

  • This didn’t turn out too well for them. If you want to know the one true God, read Exodus Chapter 32.
  • Stop making up another god. The true God HATES graven images. He hates false god worship.
  • And He gets very angry when His people worship a false god.

[20] Exodus 32:9-10 And the LORD said unto Moses, I have seen this people, and, behold, it is a stiffnecked people: 10 Now therefore let me alone, that my wrath may wax hot against them, and that I may consume them: and I will make of thee a great nation.

  • God was going to consume them completely. He was going to replace them with children of Moses.
  • Moses talked God out of doing this. He says, “Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel.”
  • God repented of the evil which He thought to do unto his people.
  • But Moses was very angry too. He broke the two tables of testimony that God gave him.

[21] Exodus 32:19-20 And it came to pass, as soon as he came nigh unto the camp, that he saw the calf, and the dancing: and Moses’ anger waxed hot, and he cast the tables out of his hands, and brake them beneath the mount. 20 And he took the calf which they had made, and burnt it in the fire, and ground it to powder, and strawed it upon the water, and made the children of Israel drink of it.

  • Listen, God warns us over not to bow down to an image. He’s not changing that commandment.
  • You better understand it, and you better not bow down to this image from the antichrist.
  • Daniel Chapter 3 is prophesying about the abomination of desolation. It will be similar.

[22] Daniel 3:10-11 Thou, O king, hast made a decree, that every man that shall hear the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, and dulcimer, and all kinds of musick, shall fall down and worship the golden image: 11 And whoso falleth not down and worshippeth, that he should be cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace.

[23] Daniel 3:12-13 There are certain Jews whom thou hast set over the affairs of the province of Babylon, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego; these men, O king, have not regarded thee: they serve not thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up. 13 Then Nebuchadnezzar in his rage and fury commanded to bring Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego. Then they brought these men before the king.

[24] Daniel 3:14 Nebuchadnezzar spake and said unto them, Is it true, O Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, do not ye serve my gods, nor worship the golden image which I have set up?

  • This is similar to what a Christian will come up against at the abomination of desolation.
  • What’s your answer going to be? BE READY because it could come in your lifetime.

[25] Daniel 3:16-18 Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, answered and said to the king, O Nebuchadnezzar, we are not careful to answer thee in this matter. 17 If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of thine hand, O king. 18 But if not, be it known unto thee, O king, that we will not serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up.

  • You should memorize this Scripture and be ready with this answer.
  • “Antichrist, I am not careful to answer thee in this matter.”
  • “I will not serve your gods. I will not worship the image which thou hast setup.”
  • What happens? RAGE HAPPENS. Great tribulation happens. The antichrist will hate Christians.
  • We’re leading up to the mark of the beast here. All of this goes together hand in hand.

[26] Revelation 13:15 And he had power to give life unto 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.

  • This false prophet, or second beast, has this power to do miracles. Make sure you know this.
  • He has the power to give life unto this image of the beast. It comes alive.
  • The image of the beast or antichrist will speak.
  • This image of the beast will cause people that won’t worship the beast to be killed. Be ready for this.
  • Now, the next Scriptures to end Revelation Chapter 13 mention the mark of the beast the first time in the Bible.

[27] 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: 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. 18 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.

  • The mark of the beast will be received in their right hand OR in their foreheads.
  • Notice the Bible says “IN” their right hand or “IN” their forehead.
  • What’s the purpose of this mark? You can’t buy or sell ANYTHING without this mark.

For example, you probably won’t be able to pay your property taxes without this mark.

  • You will no longer have property. You will be out on your own as Elijah.
  • You won’t be able to buy food at the grocery store.
  • You won’t be able to buy gas at the gas station. You won’t be able to pickup your prescriptions.
  • You won’t be able to go to the hospital, doctor, or dentist.
  • You will have to rely on God Almighty for everything, and you should start doing that anyway.

The Antichrist Will Overcome The Saints And Many Will Be Killed So Be Ready To Die For Jesus Christ

If you don’t take the mark of the beast, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name, you won’t survive.

  • The purpose of the mark of the beast is to kill the Christians who won’t worship the beast.
  • Tribulation will turn to great tribulation when this happens. He makes war with the saints.
  • One way of doing this is through the mark of the beast.

It will be easy for the so-called “Christians” to simply take the mark so they have food to eat.

  • I can hear them now: “Just take it. It’s easier. You can buy and sell.”
  • Same thing with the vaccines. The so-called “Christians” take the vaccine.
  • Even though everything about vaccines goes against God and His words, they still take them.
  • “You can’t eat at your favorite restaurants unless you have the vaccine passport.”

The so-called “Christian” says, “Oh, okay. I’ll take the vaccine.” It will be similar with the mark of the beast.

  • God forbid that the so-called “Christian” would have to stay home and cook a meal at home.
  • “Oh, I can’t miss eating at my favorite restaurants so I’ll take the vaccine and get my passport.”
  • These vaccine passports are not the mark of the beast but they are leading up to these things.
  • They are very similar to the mark of the beast.
  • A Swedish company created a microchip that can be implanted and used as a vaccine passport.

When I was in engineering school 20 years ago, they were making nanotechnology.

  • They can put devices into you that you can’t see with your eyes. They are that small.
  • They can inject these devices without you even knowing. That was 20 years ago.
  • They were designing them to be used to inject into people to find cancer or disease.
  • They were designing them to deliver medicine to people inside their body.
  • Remember, all this was 20 years ago. They can easily do all of these things right now.
  • And people blindly take the vaccines. Who knows what’s in those vaccines?? You don’t know.

What do the Scriptures say right there about the mark of the beast?

  • Don’t miss any of this because you all need to know this. This hasn’t happened yet. You should be ready.
  • You should know all of these things. My job is to make sure you know these things.

Where will the mark of the beast be located? IN YOUR RIGHT HAND OR IN YOUR FOREHEAD.

  • The Bible doesn’t say anywhere else. You won’t be able to buy or sell.
  • The number of the beast is six hundred, threescore, and six. A score is 20. Threescore is 60.
  • 600 plus 60 plus 6 = 666. This is the number of the beast. But notice what the Scriptures say.
  • Don’t miss this because this is important. You won’t be able to buy or sell unless you have 1 of 3 things.
  • Let’s read verse 17 again.

[28] Revelation 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.

  • You need the mark OR the name of the beast OR the number of his name.
  • The mark may include his name or the number of his name. You don’t want any of those things.
  • Let’s say the government says we will all be taking a mark in our right hand with the number 666.
  • Will you take that mark? No. Don’t do it. They might disguise it as something that is good for you.

They did this same thing with the Covid vaccine and they all made millions, billions, and even trillions of dollars.

  • Don’t be deceived and always follow the words from the Bible.
  • The Bible never says to trust your leaders, doctors, the CDC, the antichrist, or the false prophet.
  • The Bible never says to fear anything other than God.
  • God also warns us about similar things to the mark of the beast. If we would simply listen to Him.

[29] Leviticus 19:28 Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks upon you: I am the LORD.

  • You are not to cut your flesh. For example, tattoos are cuttings in your flesh. Very bad thing to do.
  • You are not to print ANY MARKS upon you. “Nor print any marks upon you.” Do you see this or not?
  • Many people get tattoos because they haven’t been taught any of these things.
  • They go to church their entire life and never learn any of this. Churches are a very sad thing today.

[30] Leviticus 21:5 They shall not make baldness upon their head, neither shall they shave off the corner of their beard, nor make any cuttings in their flesh.

[31] Deuteronomy 14:1 Ye are the children of the LORD your God: ye shall not cut yourselves, nor make any baldness between your eyes for the dead.

  • One characteristic possessed people have is that they cut their flesh.
  • Not all people who cut their flesh with tattoos are possessed, though. Understand the difference.
  • You do not want to be associated with them, and you don’t want to cut your flesh.
  • Tattoos are an example of that. So think of what that does in relation to the mark of the beast.

Marks In Your Flesh Such As Tattoos Are Not Okay

We become accustomed to people having marks in their flesh. It doesn’t become that big of a deal.

  • But it is a big deal. It’s a HUGE DEAL. God commands us to NOT DO IT.
  • If people followed God’s commandments, you wouldn’t see tattoo parlors all over the place.
  • You wouldn’t see people covered in tattoos. Understand what this leads up to.
  • If someone takes the mark of the beast, they aren’t saved. Understand that.
  • It’s not okay to put marks upon you that are NOT FROM THE LORD. GOD SAYS SO.
  • Did you know that God does mark some people within the Bible? Let me show you this.

[32] Ezekiel 9:4-5 And the LORD said unto him, Go through the midst of the city, through the midst 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. 5 And to the others he said in mine hearing, Go ye after him through the city, and smite: let not your eye spare, neither have ye pity:

[33] Ezekiel 9:6-7 Slay utterly old and young, both maids, and little children, and women: but come not near any man upon whom is the mark; and begin at my sanctuary. Then they began at the ancient men which were before the house. 7 And he said unto them, Defile the house, and fill the courts with the slain: go ye forth. And they went forth, and slew in the city.

[34] Ezekiel 9:8-9 And it came to pass, while they were slaying them, and I was left, that I fell upon my face, and cried, and said, Ah Lord GOD! wilt thou destroy all the residue of Israel in thy pouring out of thy fury upon Jerusalem? 9 Then said he unto me, The iniquity of the house of Israel and Judah is exceeding great, and the land is full of blood, and the city full of perverseness: for they say, The LORD hath forsaken the earth, and the LORD seeth not.

  • Always remember that Satan, the antichrist, and the false prophet are imitators.
  • God does this in Ezekiel Chapter 9.
  • He puts a mark on their forehead so the angels don’t destroy those people.
  • Satan is going to imitate that by using his antichrist to give the mark of the beast.
  • Anyone who doesn’t take the mark of the beast will be targeted by the antichrist for death.

The Book of Revelation continues to speak of the mark of the beast in Revelation Chapter 14.

  • The mark of the beast is also mentioned in Revelation Chapter 15, Revelation Chapter 16.
  • Revelation Chapter 19, and Revelation Chapter 20.
  • Let’s look at those Scriptures so we don’t miss anything concerning the mark of the beast.
  • Also, we need to make sure we don’t add anything to take anything away from the Scriptures.

There are all these crazy theories out there about the mark of the beast.

  • The truth is in the Bible so you aren’t deceived. The Bible gives you the order of things.
  • There will be lots and lots of trouble in the world before the mark of the beast occurs.
  • For example, there will be much more trouble than what you see right now.

The tribulation must come first. So I know that the mark of the beast isn’t happening soon.

  • I need to see the tribulation. I need to see the daily sacrifices again.
  • I need to see armies surrounding Jerusalem. I need to see wars, famine, death, and martyrs.
  • I need to see the abomination of desolation. THEN, the mark of the beast is here.

[35] Revelation 14:9-10 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, 10 The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:

[36] Revelation 14:11-12 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. 12 Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.

  • Taking the mark of the beast is very serious. If you take the mark of the beast, you aren’t saved.
  • A saved person will not take the mark of the beast.
  • If you’re living at this time and your friend takes the mark of the beast, you should cry for them.
  • They are headed to hell. This is what God says. A saved person will not take the mark of the beast.

For example, a practice run for the mark of the beast might be the Covid vaccines.

  • I don’t believe a saved person would take the Covid vaccine, but they could.
  • That won’t happen with the actual mark of the beast.
  • If you are deceived by the Covid vaccine, you’ll most certainly be deceived by the mark of the beast.
  • Maybe right now is the time for you to wake up and actually hear God’s words.
  • If you worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in your forehead, or in your hand:
  • The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God. You shall be tormented with fire and brimstone.
  • This tormenting will happen in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of Jesus Christ.

Take The Mark Of The Beast And You Will Go To Hell Forever

The smoke of your torment will ascend up forever and ever. You will have no rest day nor night.

  • If you bow down to worship that beast and his image, you are going to hell.
  • This means you were not saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ.
  • You know all those works based salvation preachers? They’ll take the mark of the beast.
  • Most of them have taken the vaccine too, and they preach that you should take it.
  • They teach that it is loving your neighbor to take the vaccine and wear a mask.
  • But they have no idea what love is.

[37] Romans 12:9 Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good.

  • Don’t let love be fake. Love is fake if you love that which is evil. The vaccines are evil.
  • And these fake “Christians” love them. The liberal “Christians” love them.
  • Some of them are even preaching now that the people who reject masks and vaccines have the spirit of the antichrist.

These people are a joke. They act as if they know the Bible, but they don’t use any Scripture.

  • They write their own books and come up with the dumbest doctrine that you could ever imagine.
  • Love is greatly hating that which is evil and cleaving to that which is good. GOD SAYS SO.
  • Be very careful of all this false doctrine being taught. They are evil preachers. PURE EVIL.
  • If you take the mark of the beast, Jesus Christ will watch you burn in hell. And it won’t bother Him.

False preachers will teach that God will cry and be sorry for those who are burning in hell.

  • Let me be clear. He won’t be crying for you. He may have cried for you a while ago.
  • But you rejected him over and over again. And then He rejected you. He’s sick of it.
  • You went too far in hating Him and rejecting Him. Now He will watch you burn in hell.
  • The Bible says so. And the evil people will hate the words of the Bible.
  • They’ll say: “God would never do that.” Well, He says that He will and what He does is right.
  • He’s warning you over and over again within His words, and you ignore these warnings your entire life.

We see here once again that the mark of the beast will be a mark in the forehead or in the hand.

  • We see that you will be going to hell if you take the mark of the beast.
  • People who are saved have everlasting life and will not take the mark of the beast.
  • Saints or sanctified people or saved people will not take the mark of the beast.
  • Let’s see what Revelation Chapter 15 says about the mark of the beast.

[38] Revelation 15:2-3 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. 3 And they sing the song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and marvellous are thy works, Lord God Almighty; just and true are thy ways, thou King of saints.

  • Jesus Christ comes back at His second coming to rapture the saved people and end the great tribulation.
  • Remember, the tribulation does not equal a 7-year period of time.
  • The tribulation is over at the 6th seal when the sun and moon are darkened.
  • Jesus comes back in the clouds to end the great tribulation and save the saints from the beast.
  • They achieve victory over the antichrist through Jesus Christ.
  • If He didn’t come back, all the saints would be killed by the antichrist.
  • So, Jesus saves the saints from the beast, his image, his mark, and the number of his name.

[39] Revelation 16:2 And the first went, and poured out his vial upon the earth; and there fell a noisome and grievous sore upon the men which had the mark of the beast, and upon them which worshipped his image.

  • The people who take the mark of the beast are rejected by God.
  • Jesus leaves them on earth at the rapture and at His second coming.
  • They will then experience the wrath of God.
  • The trumpets and vials are concurrent and equal God’s wrath.
  • Trumpet 1 is blown and then vial 1 is poured out. Trumpet 2, vial 2. Trumpet 3, vial 3.
  • And so on until trumpet 7 and vial 7 are complete. These are all God’s wrath.

A noisome and grievous sore comes upon the men which had the mark of the beast and upon them which worshipped his image.

  • Does that sound like something you would want?
  • People might be thinking at first: “Oh yeah, I’ll take the mark of the beast so I can buy food.”
  • Well, it would have been to have starved than to have taken the mark of the beast.
  • Make sure you understand that.

I Will Starve Versus Taking The Mark Of The Beast

For example, if the government tells me that I can’t eat unless I take the Covid vaccine, I will starve.

  • I will not take the vaccine. I don’t care what they threaten me with. Prison. Check.
  • Death. Check. I will not go against God and His commandments. I will not worship an image.
  • Fiery furnace or the vaccine. I’ll take the fiery furnace. Beheading or vaccine. Give me the beheading.
  • I will not take anything that remotely resembles the mark of the beast.
  • It’s a setup and the world falls for it.
  • We’re getting closer and closer and they are conditioning people to take this mark of the beast.

What sounds better? Starvation or hell? I’ll take starvation. Not being able to buy anything or hell?

  • Worshipping a fool like the antichrist or worshipping the Almighty God who created all things?
  • Worshipping someone who wants you dead or worshipping someone who died for you?
  • Do you remember how all the people earlier in Revelation were saying:
  • “Who can make war with the beast? Who can conquer the beast? Who is more powerful than the beast?”
  • Well, let’s find out what happens to the antichrist and false prophet who did miracles.
  • Remember, we’re continuing to look at Scriptures that speak of the mark of the beast.

[40] Revelation 19:11-13 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war. 12 His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself. 13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.

  • This is who you want to worship. He is worthy of worship. The antichrist isn’t as we’ll soon see.

[41] Revelation 19:14-16 And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean. 15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. 16 And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.

  • You want to be on this side of the war. “Who is able to make war with the beast?”
  • The King of Kings and the Lord of Lords is able to make war with that piece of trash. That’s who.
  • Jesus Christ is “THE” Man of war. Out of His mouth goeth a sharp sword. He speaks. It’s over.

[42] Exodus 15:3 The LORD is a man of war: the LORD is his name.

[43] Psalm 24:8 Who is this King of glory? The LORD strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle.

[44] Psalm 45:3 Gird thy sword upon thy thigh, O most mighty, with thy glory and thy majesty.

  • This is what we need. We need Jesus Christ. He can make war with Satan and win with a word.
  • There is no power struggle between Jesus Christ and ANYONE else. He is ALL MIGHTY.
  • He is ALL POWERFUL. Revelation Chapter 19 describes the “Battle” of Armageddon.
  • But we’ll see how much of a battle it’s going to be.

[45] Revelation 19:17-18 And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God; 18 That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great.

  • An angel in heaven cries out to all the birds or fowl to be ready to eat. This is the supper of the great God.
  • All of these people who are gathered together against Jesus Christ are going to be eaten by birds.
  • Did you know God controls all the animals?
  • Did you know God could defeat the greatest armies in the world with ants? With birds? With dogs?
  • With butterflies? With poodles? With mosquitoes? Fleas? Ticks? Lions? Bears? Did you know this?
  • He can use the animals to bring you food or to destroy you? There are many examples in the Bible.

So, whose side do you want to be on? The side of the antichrist, or the side of THE CHRIST?

  • You don’t want to take anything that resembles the mark of the beast.
  • You don’t want any mark in your right hand or in your forehead.
  • Do you know how many people think this is a joke? They get tattoos with 666 on their foreheads.
  • They get tattoos with 666 on their right hands. They think hell is cool.
  • Let’s see how cool it is when they’re getting eaten by the birds. And heaven rejoices.

[46] Revelation 19:19 And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army.

  • So, you have this so-called “great” beast who is the antichrist. He is given his power from Satan.
  • Satan has power. And then Jesus Christ has POWER. They are in a different league of power.
  • Satan is playing tee ball and Jesus Christ is a professional hall of famer who is the greatest ever.
  • On one side of this battle we see the evil dark forces. The beast who is the antichrist is there on one side.

The Kings Of The Earth Will Be On The Antichrist’s Side

The kings of the earth are on his side. Justin Trudeau, a clown, would be on his side.

  • Pete Buttigieg would be on the side of the antichrist. Joe Biden would be there on his side.
  • All the leaders in this world would be on his side. The kings of the earth are on the side of the antichrist.
  • They bring all their armies with them. Can you imagine all the armies in this word joining forces?
  • They would be powerful. But this is laughable. They’re coming to make war with Jesus Christ.
  • They are coming to make war with the armies from heaven above. They can’t die.
  • They are alive forevermore all because of Jesus Christ the PRINCE OF LIFE.

Let’s see how this battle goes. Does it go back and forth and back and forth until Jesus finally prevails?

  • Does the antichrist put up a good fight?
  • Does the false prophet do miracles and somehow slows Jesus down?
  • What do you think happens? The entire battle is summed up in the next verses.
  • And we didn’t miss anything either.

[47] Revelation 19:20-21 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. 21 And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh.

  • There is no battle here. There’s the summary of the so-called battle. “And the beast was taken.”
  • “And with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him.”
  • Remember, the false prophet deceives them that had received the mark of the beast. Don’t be deceived.
  • A good way to start not being deceived is to actually read and trust the word of God.
  • Actually read your Bible and stop listening to false preachers. Know the truth when you hear it.
  • Know lies when you hear them.

For example, when a preacher says that you must be baptized to be saved, you’ll know he is a false preacher.

  • The Bible is here so we won’t be deceived.
  • The rapture won’t be a secret rapture like the pre-tribulation false preachers teach.
  • “Every eye shall see Him.” Stop listening to the deceivers.
  • If you are rock-solid in the Bible, you’ll know a pre-tribulation rapture is fairy tale.
  • If you are deceived by a pre-tribulation rapture, you’ll easily be deceived by the antichrist.
  • If you believe Daniel’s 70th week is equal to “THE TRIBULATION” you are deceived already.

Stop being deceived and use the Bible as your GUIDE BOOK. Actually believe what God says.

  • If not, you will be deceived. Jesus Christ wins every time. He’s never lost. He’s never been defeated.
  • He is the UNDEFEATED HEAVY WEIGHT CHAMPION OF THE WORLD.
  • If you go up against Him, you will lose every time. He doesn’t lose. We lose battles. He doesn’t.

In summary, we’ve went through every Scripture that speaks of the mark of the beast.

  • We know that the mark of the beast is going to be IN the forehead or right hand.
  • No one is touching my left hand either just in case. No one is touching my entire body just in case.
  • I’m not getting close to ANYTHING, like the Covid vaccine, that resembles the mark of the beast.
  • God commands to me to not put marks ANYWHERE in my flesh.

We have to be prepared because we won’t be able to buy or sell anything without this mark.

  • Bow down to the antichrist or be killed. What will you choose? If you’re saved, you will choose death.
  • We prepare by increasing our faith in God. We don’t buy more ammo. We get more faith by His words.
  • We know the number of the beast is 666. If anything resembles 666, we don’t participate.
  • Be ready. Know your Bible. Stand up for God. Do not worship any image of anything including a cross.
  • Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of anything in heaven above, or in the earth beneath, or in the waters that are under the earth.

Thou shalt have no other gods. That shalt not bow thyself down to images or false gods or the antichrist.

  • You are not to receive marks at all. No tattoos. No marks in your flesh.
  • All of these commandments from God are to ensure you don’t take the mark of the beast.
  • But the false preachers will teach that you don’t need to follow God’s commandments.
  • They teach that you must obey the higher powers. The antichrist will be king of the entire earth.
  • Will you obey him? Come on people. Stop falling for the false preaching in churches.
  • Now you must open your eyes and see what they’re doing. It’s a setup. Wake up. Do not be deceived.

Let’s pray.

    Beasts in the Bible are defined in Daniel as Kingdoms,Nations today.The Beast is a Kingdom or Nation,anti -christ, is the leader of that Kingdom or Nation. Time to rethink your teachings. Sincerely your brother in Jesus of Nazareth.

      Hello Vincent,

      The words “beast” and “beasts” are in the Bible 337 times in 296 verses. You should look them up and read them ALL versus picking the ones you want.

      Does the word beast always equal kingdom or nation? No, it doesn’t.

      In Revelation, the word beast and beasts are there more than any other book. Angels are beasts and living creatures in the Bible. There are good beasts and there are evil beasts. 4 beasts surround the throne of God. Satan is considered to be a beast by God Almighty. The Bible clearly describes cherubim and seraphim, which are beasts.

      But, with all that said, I am not sure your point. Please re-write a sentence that I can understand. I think you are saying that I am wrong because the beast is a kingdom or a nation, and the antichrist is the leader of that kingdom or nation. But, the truth is that the antichrist will be leading a one world government. So, what are you trying to say? Please explain as I don’t see your point.

      And I don’t know you at all so I am not sure I am your brother. Have you believed on Jesus of Nazareth alone for salvation? Nothing else is required. If so, then we are brothers. If not, we aren’t brothers.
