The Mark of the Beast

It Is About Time…

Now that most of this site has been built, albeit for a few pages, I think it is time to outline exactly what the mark of the beast is. Be clear, I have no more information than anyone else, I am just going to put the information available together in a way that makes the most sense to me, and then, hopefully to others. I will also bring up the main counter-arguments to mine and refute them to the best of my ability. First, understand, the bottom-line clear thinking at the MOTBR is this:  The “Mark of the Beast” is Digital Identification tied to finance. It is important to make that point because to us, looking any further than that is unnecessary. What most people do not understand is that when Revelation 13:18 states, “Here is a call for wisdom: Let the one who has insight calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man, and that number is 666,” it is not calling for direct identification of a person, or a system, but rather an overall awareness of the technology.

“The Name of the Beast, or The Number of his Name…”

This is where I must tell you about something that I highly recommend you stay away from, but I must explain it so you will have the background for the rest of this page. In Jewish mysticism, tightly tied to the study of the Kabbalah, there is a practice called Gematria. This practice, according to Wikipedia, “is an alphanumeric code of assigning a numerical value to a name, word or phrase based on its letters. A single word can yield multiple values depending on the cipher used.” People who study Kabbalah see relationships between things based on the numeric value of their letters. This is where the reference in Revelation comes from. You see, every Jewish person would be aware of the Kabbalah and Gematria, and that is why it is included in the Bible, to show you the relationships, not an actual person. There have been too many instances to count, from the birthmark on Mikhail Gorbachev’s forehead to the letters in Ronald Reagan’s name, where people have made fools of themselves over and again making predictions about “who” the Beast is.

But I Heard…

Most Christians throughout time have realized that the MOTB would be somehow tied to finance, and they get this understanding from Revelation 13:17, which says, “so that no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark— the name of the beast or the number of its name.” This sure does sound like control of financial transactions to us, and until this time in history, that was not possible on a global scale. With the advent of Blockchain Technology and global electronic banking systems, at no time in history has there been a centralized ability to control all financial transactions until now. There are, however, several other “theories” about what the Mark of the Beast could be other than an actual physical mark tied to finance. Allow me to first introduce them, then summarily refute them.

The Mark Was Nero…

This popular theory states that when John wrote Revelation, he was really speaking about Nero when he was speaking about the “Beast.” This view is popular with the group that is known as the “preterists,” these people who think that some, or all, the prophecies about the end times have already happened. To us, this seems to be a dismissal of the final judgment and dangerous false teaching. This thinking leads to the idea that there is all the time in the world to get right with God, as the world is never going to end. We dismiss this view out of hand as it promotes the thinking that there will be no final judgment. To us, when Revelation 13:8, says, “And all who dwell on the earth will worship the beast,” when it says, will worship, that is obviously a future event and not something that has already happened. There are other arguments against this “preterist” viewpoint, but really, to us, there is no need to elaborate further. Most preterists have been trained to think that way in a school, and have not come to that conclusion on their own. For the purpose of this page, if you do not think the book of Revelation is about future events, then you are likely in the wrong place.

The “Sunday Laws…”

One of the most persistent, and loudly proclaimed theories about the MOTB, and one that is promoted by the Seventh Day Adventist church is the so-called “Sunday Law” teaching. Something curious about this teaching, and those that spread it, is that rarely will the person promoting it admit that it is an S.D.A. teaching. To put it in a nutshell, the teaching states that there is a soon to come, “Blue Law,” that will make it illegal to worship on any other day other than Sunday. There are several problems with this teaching, and foremost is that when asked how this will look as far as enforcement of the “buying and selling” aspect of the prophecy, you often get crickets and no answer. When you consider that the “Blue Laws” have been losing authority, both in the courts and in enforcement, it is easy to dismiss this theory. Another prominent part of this teaching is that the Temple will not in fact be rebuilt. Instead, they teach that the Temple is within you, and the worship of the Beast is a submission to the Sunday Laws. This to us is just another way that satan uses real teaching but with just a little bit of distortion, you know, just enough to make it dangerous. You see, the S.D.A. church teaches that the Vatican and the Vatican alone is the Beast, and that “Sunday Law” worship is “taking the Mark.” This is dangerous because there is no emphasis on the “buying and selling,” which is a major part of this prophecy, not to mention the denial of the coming Third Temple. To us, to promote this idea is dangerous because it really makes no mention of Digital Identification, which could cause many to be decieved.

About That Scripture…

Now I am going to lay out the reasons why the MOTBR holds the line of thinking that we do. The book of Revelation, in chapter 13, specifically speaks about the MOTB and what it will look like. Specifically, in verse 16, the Bible says, “And the second beast required all people small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their forehead,” The word “in,” to us, is very telling in this verse, and, according to Strong’s, the original word for the word “mark” is xáragma, and it means “properly, an engraving (etching); (figuratively) a mark providing undeniable identification, like a symbol giving irrefutable connection between parties.” This is clearly a real “mark,” and not an allegory for something else. In the next verse, Revelation 13:17, it says, “ so that no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark— the name of the beast or the number of its name.” Now, to those preterists that say the “Beast” was Nero, there is never an explanation of this verse. To those that promote the “Sunday Law” theory, there is never really an explanation available as to how the “law” will facilitate enforcement of the “buying and selling” mandate.

About That Worship…

Assuming you are a person that believes in the coming “Day of the Lord,” and assuming you believe there is a prophecy yet to happen in the books of Daniel, Revelation, Ezekiel, and others, then the presumption must be based on the book of Revelation that the “Mark of the Beast” is some sort of control system over buying and selling. There also is the indication, from the scripture itself, that the “mark” is a literal, physical thing that will be placed in, or on, the right hand or forehead. This leaves us the “worship” aspect of the prophecy, and this is where we would like to bring up a recent statistic. According to the “Impact 360 Institute,” whoever they are, “Only 4 Percent of Gen Z Have a Biblical Worldview.” To us, looking at the state of the world, and knowing that 2 Timothy 3:4-5 says, “traitorous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. Turn away from such as these!” we find this statistic credible. So, is it important to argue about whether you have to “worship” someone along with taking Digital Identity? Worship as in sign a pact, or bow to an image? To us, that answer is no. Is it important to argue whether the Digital Identity comes in the form of Quantum Dot tattoos with a vaccine, or an RFID implant at your work to give you access, or some other form of Digital Identification? To us, again, the answer is no. We will stay away from anything that even remotely could be the mark at this point.

The Beast…

The MOTBR has the belief that yes, there will be a rebuilt Temple, and yes, there will be someone that is declared, “The Messiah,” after performing “miraculous” signs and wonders. To us, based on the current news integrity, any multitude of events could be “miraculous signs and wonders,” from negotiating a final “world peace,” to having a “unity of religion,” from negotiating a rebuilt third Temple, to somehow “finding” the Ark of the covenant. “Calling down fire from Heaven” could easily be calling a Directed Energy Weapon down in the full view of many people. To us, when someone is “declared” the Jewish “Messiah” by the Sanhedrin, depending on the circumstances, it is likely that the Imams will approve and agree, and the Pope will abdicate because “god is on earth.” Of course, this will all be a planned event. During this entire “Great Reset” process, while humanity is being transitioned into willing slavery, there will be a growing group that comes to accept that the “rapture” was false teaching, and begins to speak out…

So?

You must remember, the Bible was written to reach everyone, not just educated Christians. There is going to come to a great reckoning when the Church has those that are taking Digital Identity and those that are beginning to speak out. Think of the Hatred!  “On My account, you will be brought before governors…” has a different meaning in the times of the F.E.M.A. emergency governors. 2 Thessalonians 2:3 says, “Let no one deceive you in any way, for it will not come until the rebellion occurs and the man of lawlessness— the son of destruction— is revealed.” The word for “rebellion” in this verse is the same as apostate, as in the apostate church. What this tells us is that there will come a schism within the Church, where there will literally be an apostate church operating at the same time as the real Church. Understand this when you begin hearing of vaccine stations at the local parish.

God Bless Each and Every One of You…
