The Mark Of The Beast (666)
According to the Scriptures, the "mark of the beast"
is received on the right hand or forehead. With modern technology, it is very possible
that this mark may be directly linked with a computer chip. But regardless if it is or isn't,
everyone who is living immediately before the return of Christ will be forced to take this
mark in order to buy or sell anything:
But this mark, which will be universally issued around the entire world, MUST
NOT be received under any circumstances, even by Christians! Scripture goes on to
say:
As the mark will definitely be issued one day, as Scripture declares, the eternal
destiny for all who receive that mark will also be in accordance with Scripture! Do not
be deceived about this. If you are a Christian, you MUST NOT take this mark or you,
too, will miss the kingdom of God and suffer eternal torment over this single act
of disobedience, according to Scripture! If the popular teaching of eternal security
(also known as the perseverance of the saints) was true, Rev. 14:9-12 would be an
impossibility! So don't be deceived by the teaching of eternal security. You must endure
to the end to be saved (Matt. 10:22; Heb. 3:14; Rev. 2:10,11).
The people who make the eternal mistake of receiving the mark and worshiping
the beast and/or his image will be deceived by accompanying miraculous signs and
wonders:
Those who refuse to receive the mark of the beast and worship his image are
referred to in the following passage. These are the same ones who obey God's
commandments and remain faithful to Jesus:
Please notice, the "first resurrection" will not occur until the mark of the
beast is made available! The first resurrection is for those who have done good and
will rise to live, as opposed to those who have done evil and will rise to be condemned
(Jn. 5:29). YOU WILL NOT ESCAPE A PERSONAL DECISION REGARDING THE
MARK OF THE BEAST THROUGH A PRE-TRIBULATION RAPTURE. Regarding
"that day" or "our being gathered to him" (2 Thess. 2:1), the Bible says:
Those who remain faithful to the Lord Jesus will refuse this mark, but will be
beheaded as a result. This same fate for the God fearing who endure to the end is also
mentioned in the following passage with another possibility for "the saints":
Dear reader, if you die in the Lord as a consequence of refusing the mark of the
beast, please realize that you will immediately be in the presence of the Lord in
"Paradise" (Lk. 23:43).
Regarding physical death for a Christian, Paul wrote:
REGARDLESS WHAT HAPPENS, DO NOT TAKE THE MARK! There will be
many who will accept it at this time. Great pressure will be on you also to conform to
their example. Miracles from satanic power will deceive many into taking the mark.
YOU MUST REMAIN TRUE TO GOD, EVEN IF YOU GET BEHEADED OR GO INTO
CAPTIVITY AS A CONSEQUENCE. YOUR ETERNAL DESTINY HANGS IN THE
BALANCE with this single act, if we are the last generation. Pass this vital information
on to other people with whom you are acquainted. If we are the last generation, this
could be the most important message they will ever learn. It may make the difference in
where they will spend all of eternity.

receive a mark on his right hand or on his forehead so that no one could
buy or sell unless he had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the
number of his name. This calls for wisdom. If anyone has insight, let him
calculate the number of the beast, for it is man's number. His number is 666"
(Rev. 13:16-18).
"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. This
calls for patient endurance on the part of THE SAINTS who obey God's
commandments and remain faithful to Jesus' " (Rev. 14:9-12).
"But the beast was captured, and with him the false prophet who had performed
the miraculous signs on his behalf. With these signs he had deluded those
who had received the mark of the beast and worshiped his image. The two
of them were thrown alive into the fiery lake of burning sulfur" (Rev. 19:20).
"And he performed great and miraculous signs, even causing fire to come
down from heaven to earth in full view of men. Because of the signs he was
given power to do on behalf of the first beast, he deceived the inhabitants
of the earth. He ordered them to set up an image in honor of the beast who was
wounded by the sword and yet lived. He was given power to give breath to the
image of the first beast, so that it could speak and cause all who refused to
worship the image to be killed" (Rev 13:13-15).
"The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with the work of
Satan displayed in all kinds of counterfeit miracles, signs and wonders,
and in every sort of evil that deceives those who are perishing. They perish
because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. For this reason God
sends them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie and so that all
will be condemned who have not believed the truth but have delighted in
wickedness" (2 Thess. 2:9-12).
"I saw thrones on which were seated those who had been given authority to
judge. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their
testimony for Jesus and because of the word of God. They had not
worshiped the beast or his image and had not received his mark on their
foreheads or their hands. They came to life and reigned with Christ a thousand
years. (The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were
ended.) This is the first resurrection. Blessed and holy are those who have
part in the first resurrection. The second death has no power over them, but
they will be priests of God and of Christ and will reign with him for a thousand
years" (Rev. 20:4-6).
"Don't let anyone deceive you in any way, for that day will not come until
the rebellion occurs and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the man doomed
to destruction" (2 Thess. 2:3).
"He was given power to make war against THE SAINTS and to conquer
them. And he was given authority over every tribe, people, language and
nation. All inhabitants of the earth will worship the beast -- all whose names
have not been written in the book of life belonging to the Lamb that was slain
from the creation of the world. He who has an ear, let him hear. If anyone is to
go into captivity, into captivity he will go. If anyone is to be killed with the
sword, with the sword he will be killed. This calls for patient endurance and
faithfulness on the part of THE SAINTS" (Rev. 13:7-10).
"We are confident, I say, and would prefer to be away from the body and at
home with the Lord" (2 Cor. 5:8).
"For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain. I am torn between the two: I
desire to depart and be with Christ, which is better by far" (Phil. 1:21,23).
"They overcame him [the devil] by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their
testimony; they did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death"
(Rev. 12:11).
"Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather,
be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell" (Matt.
10:28).
