The Mark Of The Beast VI


So that no one will have power to buy or sell unless he bears the stamp (mark, inscription), [that is] the name of the beast or the number of his name. Revelation 13:7

Then another angel, a third, followed them, saying with a mighty voice, Whoever pays homage to the beast and his statue and permits the [beast’s] stamp (mark, inscription) to be put on his forehead or on his hand, Revelation 14:9

And the beast was seized and overpowered, and with him the false prophet who in his presence had worked wonders and performed miracles by which he led astray those who had accepted or permitted to be placed upon them the stamp (mark) of the beast and those who paid homage and gave divine honors to his statue. Both of them were hurled alive into the fiery lake that burns and blazes with brimstone. Revelation 19:20

We have studied a lot about the mark of the beast and the end times over the last several days. Here we see that if we take the mark of the beast we are instantly damned. So it is a very bad thing for us if we take the mark. Here is what is interesting regarding the mark of the beast: our Father never tells us what the mark is? We are told that it is unforgivable, yet God doesn’t let us know any specifics about exactly what it is, why? It’s just like blasphemy of the Holy Spirit, we are told that it also is unforgivable, yet we are never shown in scripture exactly what it is either. These things are so dangerous and yet there are no scriptures that clearly define what the acts are. People guess what they are all of the time, but there is no specific scriptural Truth to let us know exactly. Why?

The reason is Jesus spoke in parables and the disciples asked Him why. He told them because the Truth was not for everyone, only for the chosen. So here is what I think, and there are no scriptures to tell us, so this is just what I think. Humans cannot commit these two sins. I think that if we could, then they would be unforgivable, but I don’t think that we can. I think if there was a sin that we could commit that would separate us from our Father, He would define the daylights out of it for us.

So it is a Truth that if we could commit them, then we would be damned, but the greater Truth is that we can’t. It’s like saying a person could move the earth if they had a big enough lever and a place to stand, that is the Truth, but it can’t happen. So these things are parables and the Holy Spirit gives us a peace with this. I honestly believe that these sins can only be committed by the fallen angels who have been cast down to the earth and that is why they are fallen. If humans could commit these sins, our Father would specifically define them and spell them out for us. Also notice how the ones who commit these sins are instantly cast into the Lake of Fire when Jesus returns. They do not go to Hades to wait judgment, they are instantly destroyed. This is not how our Father tells us that He deals with men. Men who are not the Bride are sent to Hades after death, not the Lake of Fire.
