The Mark of the Beast (what it really is explained)

The mark of the beast is not necessarily a physical mark. It was in Old Testament but in the new it’s using symbolic language based on Old Testament.

Look at Cain he was a  fruit of his parents disobedience of eating of the tree. Cain was simply manifesting this Mark of the beast which is the Adamic nature of his parents. 

Today is the same thing today. What nature are we manifesting? The first Adam or the second Adam which is Christ. Remember he died on the tree why one might ask?

The evidence:

5480 xáragma – properly, an engraving (etching); (figuratively) a mark providing undeniable identification, like a symbol giving irrefutable connection between parties.

5480 /xáragma ("brand-mark") was originally any impress on a coin or a seal, used by an engraver on a die (stamp, branding iron). 5480 (xáragma) later became "the identification-marker" (like with an owner's unique "brand-mark").

[Ancient documents were validated by such stamps or seals (see Plutarch, Agesilaus, 15:6; De Lysandro 16:2, ala DNTT, 2, 574).]

You may not like it, but it's a symbol of allegiance worn by the individual.

Charles Ellicott is the greatest theologian I have ever read and he seems to believe the mark is spiritual as well. Here is some commentary from Ellicott on Revelation 13:16:

"It is utterly unnecessary to take this brand of evil literally, any more than we took the seal of Christ literally. That seal we understood as spiritual, in the faith and in the character; this evil brand we must interpret in like manner. It surely means the acquiescence in character and action to the principles of this tyrannical world-power: the right hand is the symbol of toil and social intercourse; the forehead is the symbol of character, as time is ever writing its awful tale upon men’s brows."

Every spiritual reality Has its manifestations. Whether or not it’s a physical mark makes no difference. It’s the inward mark that counts which came from the tree of knowledge of good and evil which is the Adamic nature.

Everyone before Christ’s resurrection has this Adamic nature, that has its mark of the beast on and in that nature and have a choice whether or not if they choose yield to it.

Notice how Jesus was born under a death decree. Herod wanted to kill all the Chidren during that time. This death decree was the Adamic nature. Even Moses was under this same death decree as well if you know the story when Moses mother sent him in a basket in the bulrush. Moses name means drawn up out of the water.
Thats why scripture talks about cursed be the man that hangeth upon the tree. Jesus became cursed and afflicted in order to kill and nullify this curse by his resurrection.

Isaiah 53:4-6 

⁴ Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.

⁵ But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.

⁶ All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lordhath laid on him the iniquity of us all

Jesus killed the tree of knowledge of good and evil and brought in a new tree which is the tree of life himself. our senses governed by Christ is how we eat from the of life. The senses governed by the Adamic nature is the Mark of the beast

The mark on the forehead represents everything that’s conceived in the mind is worked out through the works of the hands which is a symbol of the mark on the hand. 

This war in the heavens that’s taking place right within us I truly believe is the battle of Armageddon. This battle consists of being between two trees.

What tree are we going to eat from? You have the good angels and the bad Angels warring over who’s going to possess the body, The UnHoly Spirit or the Holy Spirit. This is why Satan was contending over the body Of Moses..

Jude 1:9, Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee Satan. Satan had rights over everyones body before the resurrection of Christ.

This is why Moses and Elijah were the two witnesses in Rev 11 that were killed by the beast but 3 1/2 days later they resurrected because of Christ’s resurrection.This is why Moses and Elijah were seen on the mount of transfiguration because of Christ’s resurrection they were seen in resurrected bodies on the mount.

Theres the story about Jesus casting out spirits into swine in.. Mark the 5th chapter. These spirits had no longer any body or bodies to manifest their evil in.
This is likened unto our bodies being controlled by the Antichrist spirit Adamic nature mark of the beast, until we are saved by Christ. It was the water that drowned the bodies of the swine to free them of theses spirits. 
This is also likened unto baptism which saves us by giving us an entrance from Johns baptism into Jesus’s baptism which is of fire of the Holy Spirit. Jesus kills the Adamic by putting his nature within instead. Jesus puts his mark upon us which is His Holy Spirit and we get his name and are immersed in the name by the baptism of fire not water.
 

Water baptism was just a symbol of burial and how we were all buried under and in the curse of Adam. We were all D.O.A. Dead on arrival in theses bodies at birth.

What does scripture say?

NASA is a hoax. Nobody has been to "space" or the moon. The earth is flat. There is water over our skies just as we are told in Genesis (waters above the firmament). Research flat earth and you'll see proof of what I speak. Why do you think NASA and all the other nations space programs launch their rockets in arch. They launch them into the ocean...and look at all the space programs around the world and their logos, they all have the satanic vector V symbolism in it. It's all a deception.

Certainly it's the spiritual consequences that are paramount. But just as Jesus satisfied all the spiritual requirements of the remission of sin by the shedding of blood so too will spiritual allegiance require a physical confession of trust and belief. "If you confess the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart man believes unto righteousness and with the mouth confession is made to salvation."

Both are required and it will be no different with the physical mark of the beast, which amounts to a physical and open confession of one's faith and allegiance.

So we know what the Seal of God is (His truth),
and who it is that is to be sealed (His servants).

The Lord is truth, and those sealed with His truth are they who will acknowledge the truth about the cause for earth's destruction that the four angels in Revelation 7 are currently restraining until this sealing of God's truth throughout the world is complete. Once complete the four angels will then release the four winds which accompany the destruction to 1/3 of earth's environment in Revelation 8, along with the plagues in Revelation 9, all of which are attributed to the love mankind has for the things his hands produce (Revelation 9:20).

Revelation 9:20 And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk:

I still do not believe the mark of the beast is a physical mark that is visible on ones body but exactly what it is I do not know for sure. Please do your own research and let God teach you.

Regarding that ol’ mark of the beast:  Let’s start in Revelation 7.(before the four winds are released upon the earth and the final trumpets blow....)

(some study notes below)

The "servants" of the living God must have the "seal" of the living God placed "in their foreheads.”

So to have the Seal of God in our forehead is simply to have the Word of God in our mind, 
In other words, to have an understanding of God's Word, His overall plan of salvation, and
to even understand the Seals themselves.

It is interesting that the Greek word for "sealed" is sphragizo, which means to preserve or mark for security.

Rev. 9:4 And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men who have not the seal of God in their foreheads.

When those four winds are released and tribulation comes upon the earth, 
look who is protected; only those with the Seal of God in their foreheads....those who understand the Word of God.

If you DO NOT have the Seal of God in your forehead, 
then you will have the Seal of Satan in your forehead, the mark of the beast, 
in other words, Satan's word, which is garbage, deception, 
and will lead you to worship the antichrist.

You either belong to Christ, the Son of God, and have His Word, His seal in your mind (forehead),

or....

you belong to Satan, the son of perdition, and have his word, his seal (mark) in your mind.

So we know what the Seal of God is (His truth),
and who it is that is to be sealed (His servants).

Sometimes it is good to see how ELSE a Greek word is translated. the "In" the forehead is also translated as:

Mat 5:39 - But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on G1909 thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.

Mat 24:16 - Then let them which be in Judaea flee into G1909 the mountains:

Act 8:36 - And as they went on their way, they came unto G1909 a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized?

Act 24:8 - Commanding his accusers to come unto G1909 thee: by examining of whom thyself mayest take knowledge of all these things, whereof we accuse him.

Act 27:44 - And the rest, some on G1909 boards, and some on G1909 broken pieces of the ship. And so it came to pass, that they escaped all safe to G1909 land.

2Co 10:2 - But I beseech you, that I may not be bold when I am present with that confidence, wherewith I think to be bold against G1909 some, which think of us as if we walked according to the flesh.

Therefore, it is not necessarily IN the forehead as in thinking or thoughts. 

I disagree with this theory. Notice Rev. 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:

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.

I think it MUST be something visible to people. So visible that one entering a store would easily be seen as different. Without a doubt, people we be forced to take this mark. It will be just like worshiping the image: do it or die.

I DO like it: it makes good sense. It is swearing allegiance to the Beast.
