The Mark Of The Beast And The Mark Of God

This End Times Deception study will help understand the true mark of the beast.

The sea beast of Revelation 13 is the Papacy of the Roman Catholic Church and the earth beast is the Jesuits of Rome, who spread around the world, causing people to revere the Pope and obey his commands.

Satan has empowered the Roman beast to deceive the world, including Christians.  Satan knows the Bible well, and he knows the things that God has sanctified.

This study will look at what God has defined as a covenant between Himself and His followers, which are a sign, a mark, of their relationship.

Then we will see how Satan has subverted those things through the Roman Catholic Church, causing some Christians to have the mark of the Rome beast on them.

If someone says that you’re ‘marked‘ for God, what are they proclaiming?

They’re saying that you obey His commands, which demonstrates your love for Him, which is a sign to others about whom you serve.

The Bible declares that we are to keep the 10 commandments; the enemy causes Christians to believe that Christ ended that requirement.

In Deuteronomy 6:1-2, God commands us to keep His statutes and commandments;

“Now these are the commandments, the statutes, and the judgments, which the LORD your God commanded to teach you, that ye might do them in the land whither ye go to possess it: That thou mightest fear the LORD thy God, to keep all his statutes and his commandments, which I command thee, thou, and thy son, and thy son’s son, all the days of thy life; and that thy days may be prolonged.”

Then in Deuteronomy 6:8 He tells us that His commandments shall be a sign on our hand and our foreheads.

“And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes.”

The word ‘sign’ means; a signal (literally or figuratively), as a flag, beacon, monument, omen, prodigy, evidence, etc.:—mark, miracle, (en-)sign, token.

The hand refers to our actions, and the forehead refers to our beliefs.

If we obey the commandments of God, then we have the mark of God on us.

Is that not what our Messiah taught us?

For Christ said “He who has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me. And he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and manifest Myself to him.” John 14:21

“By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments. For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.” 1 John 5:2-3

Christians proclaim that Christ nailed the commandments to the cross, but that’s not true, He came to fulfill the law, because no man ever could.

“Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill. For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled. Whoever therefore breaks one of the least of these commandments, and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever does and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.” Matthew 5:17-19

What He nailed to the cross is the written record of our sins.

“And you, being dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He has made alive together with Him, having forgiven you all trespasses, having wiped out the handwriting of requirements that was against us, which was contrary to us. And He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross.” Colossians 2:13-14

Where a debt is contracted, it is usually testified by some handwriting; and when the debt is forgiven, the handwriting is destroyed, either by blotting it out, by taking it away, or by tearing it.

Christ’s atoning work paid for our sins, thus wiping out the handwriting of the record of our sins, which condemned us.

Paul is not saying that Christ nailed the Torah to the cross and eliminated it.

In Christ’s New Covenant, He put His law in our heart and our mind.

“This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, says the Lord: I will put My laws into their hearts, and in their minds I will write them.” Hebrews 10:16

Jesus obeyed them perfectly and He expects His followers to strive to keep them.

“for not the hearers of the law are just in the sight of God,
but the doers of the law will be justified.” Romans 2:13

“Do we then make void the law through faith? Certainly not!
On the contrary, we establish the law.” Romans 3:31

Revelation 22:12-14 tells us that we are blessed by following God’s commandments.

“And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last. Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.”

Christ is telling us that those who obey (mark on the right hand) His commandments, will eat of the tree of life, and may enter into the Holy City, New Jerusalem.

In Revelation 12:17, Christ is telling us that Satan makes war with His followers, who keep the commandments of God.

“And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.”

Revelation 14:9-11 tells us that if anyone obeys the antichrist Pope’s commands, they have the mark of the beast on them.

“And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship (revere and obey) the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God.” Revelation 14:9-10

So let’s compare the teachings of Christ with the teachings of the antichrist Pope’s, to see which one most Christians are following.

Yahuah ordained the 7th Day Sabbath as a ‘mark‘ of His people; while Satan caused the Roman Catholic Church to use Sunday as a ‘mark‘ of their authority.

Christians may believe that they are to obey the 10 commandments, but somehow many don’t believe that they need to follow the 4th Commandment.

“Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord your God. In it you shall do no work: you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates. For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it.” Exodus 20:8-11

Most Christians argue that the Sabbath is Sunday, but there is no passage in the Bible which declares this.

God set aside the Sabbath as a sign, a mark, between Him and His people.

“Speak thou also unto the children of Israel, saying, Verily my sabbaths ye shall keep: for it is a sign between me and you throughout your generations; that ye may know that I am the LORD that doth sanctify you.” Exodus 31:13

They are a perpetual sign between the Children of Israel and God.

“You shall keep the Sabbath, therefore, for it is holy to you. Everyone who profanes it shall surely be put to death; for whoever does any work on it, that person shall be cut off from among his people.  Work shall be done for six days, but the seventh is the Sabbath of rest, holy to the Lord. Whoever does any work on the Sabbath day, he shall surely be put to death.  Therefore the children of Israel shall keep the Sabbath, to observe the Sabbath throughout their generations as a perpetual covenant.  It is a sign between Me and the children of Israel forever; for in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, and on the seventh day He rested and was refreshed.” Exodus 31:14-17

God told His children to not walk in the ways of their fathers, but according to His law, which is a sign of their relationship.

“But I said to their children in the wilderness, ‘Do not walk in the statutes of your fathers, nor observe their judgments, nor defile yourselves with their idols.  I am the Lord your God: Walk in My statutes, keep My judgments, and do them; hallow My Sabbaths, and they will be a sign between Me and you, that you may know that I am the Lord your God.’ Ezekiel 20:18-20

If God changed the perpetual covenant of the Sabbath, which He defined as the seventh day, then He would have clearly told us so.

Satan hates the Sabbath because it is a covenant between Yahuah and His people.

At the Council of Laodicea in 364 A.D., Satan caused the Church of Rome to outlaw the 7th day Sabbath.

“Christians must not judaize by resting on the Sabbath, but must work on that day, rather honouring the Lord’s Day; and, if they can, resting then as Christians. But if any shall be found to be judaizers, let them be anathema from Christ.” Canon XXIX.

This tells us that the followers of Christ were still observing the luni-solar based Sabbath.

Since then the Roman Church has been declaring Sunday as the Lord’s Day. Please understand that the Roman Catholic Church is the antichrist beast of Revelation, who has claimed to be Christ on earth, a substitute Christ, a Vicar of Christ.

Worshiping on Sunday honors the Roman Catholic Church Lord, the Pope, the Sun god, which ultimately gives worship to Satan.

It matters not if that is your intent.  What matters is that you are following Rome’s decrees, not Yahuah’s.

Here are statements from the Papal Church declaring as such.

“But you may read the Bible from Genesis to Revelation, and you will not find a single line authorizing the sanctification of Sunday. The Scriptures enforce the religious observance of Saturday, a day which we never sanctify.” Cardinal James Gibbons, The Faith of Our Fathers (Ayers Publishing, 1978): 108

“Of course the Catholic Church claims that the change was her act…And the act is a MARK of her ecclesiastical power and authority in religious matters.” Letter from C.F. Thomas, Chancellor of Cardinal Gibbons on October 28, 1895

They are saying that if you deny the authority of the Catholic Church, which you should, then you have no justification for a Sunday Sabbath, because they are the ones who changed it to Sunday.

“Sunday is a Catholic institution and its claim to observance can be defended only on Catholic principles….. From beginning to end of Scripture there is not a single passage that warrants the transfer of weekly public worship from the last day of the week to the first.” Catholic Press, Sydney, Australia, August 1900.

You can clearly see that the antichrist Roman Catholic Church is proclaiming that Sunday is their Holy Day, and that there is no scriptural basis for the Sabbath to be on Sunday, but that it is a mark of their authority.

I don’t believe that worshiping on Sunday is THE mark of the beast, as SDA’s proclaim, but it is ‘A’ mark of the beast, as Christians are following the teachings and commands of Rome, instead of the Word of God.

I observe the Sabbath. I don’t work. I rest in the Lord. I study, I pray, I partake in communion, I spend time with family and friends. It’s a day of rest that blesses me.

I don’t do it for salvation. I don’t do it because I’m part of some denomination. I don’t condemn others for not doing it. I do it out of love for my Messiah, and I am blessed to rest in Him.

The Bible declares that we are to observe Yahuah’s Holy Feast Days; but the enemy causes Christians to observe the pagan days of Easter and Christmas.

Christ followed the Torah commands to observe and celebrate the seven Holy Feast days, which were given to the Israelites for practice, as they pointed to a future fulfillment by the promised Messiah.

Many Christians think that they are just Jewish feast days, but they are Yahuah’s Holy Feast Days, which are for all of His followers.

Christ came to fulfill the Holy Feast Days, not to end them. Each feast day foreshadows a unique part of Christ’s redemption story.

The word “Feast” is translated from the Hebrew word “moed”, which means appointment. The first four spring feasts were fulfilled in exacting detail by Christ.

Passover pointed to the Messiah as our Passover lamb whose blood was shed for our sins. Jesus fulfilled this feast day, which we should still celebrate in honor of His sacrifice for us.

Unleavened Bread pointed to the Messiah’s sinless life (as leaven is a picture of sin in the Bible). Jesus fulfilled this feast day, which we should honor for His sinless life.

First Fruits pointed to the Messiah’s resurrection as the first fruits of the righteous. (1 Cor. 15:20) Jesus fulfilled this feast day when He rose again, which we should celebrate instead of the pagan Easter.

Pentecost represented God pouring out His Holy Spirit on Jesus disciples. Acts 2 describes the fulfillment of this feast day, which we should celebrate as He has given us the Advocate, the Spirit of Truth.

The last three fall feasts point to His return for His bride. Does it not make sense that Christians should know about them, observe them and celebrate them?

Trumpets represents Christ’s return for His bride, where trumpets are blown and the elect are taken up. We should celebrate this as we long for His return. We should look to this Holy Feast Day to be prepared for His return.

Atonement occurs ten days after the Feast of Trumpets, when Christ will judge His Church. We should solemnly observe this feast day to purify ourselves of sins and sinful ways, as we will stand before our righteous Judge some day.

Tabernacles occurs fifteen days after the Feast of Trumpets, when we celebrate the wedding feast. We should celebrate this day as a bride would long for her wedding day.

Many Christians proclaim that the Holy Feast Days of the Torah were nailed to the cross, so we don’t have to observe them.

But that is impossible, because the Feasts of First Fruits and Pentecost were fulfilled after Christ’s death on the cross. And there are still three more Feasts to be fulfilled.

The last three Holy Feast Days give us the context for His return, as we know which day of the year is the Feast of Trumpets. For more information, click on The Holy Feast Days Of God Deception

The evil one has caused the Roman Church to put aside God’s Holy Feast Days, and to cause people to celebrate pagan holidays instead.

In 325 A.D. the Roman Church at the Council of Nicea decided to separate the celebration of Easter from the Passover. They stated:

“For it is unbecoming beyond measure that on this holiest of festivals we should follow the customs of the Jews. Henceforth let us have nothing in common with this odious people…We ought not, therefore, to have anything in common with the Jews…our worship follows a…more convenient course…we desire dearest brethren, to separate ourselves from the detestable company of the Jews…How, then, could we follow these Jews, who are almost certainly blinded.”

They made it seem like they were Jewish festivals, instead of God’s Holy Feast Days, which helped them put them aside.

This tells us that the followers of Christ were still observing God’s Holy Feast Days.

In order for the Church of Rome to combine the pagan Roman festivals with Christianity, they had to put aside the Holy Feast Days of Yahyuah.

“The Catholic Church abolished not only the Sabbath, but all the other Jewish festival.”  T. Enright, C.S.S.R., Bishop of Alphonsus church, St. Louis, MO June 1905

“Practically everything Protestants regard as essential or important they have received from the Catholic Church… The Protestant mind does not seem to realize that in accepting the Bible and observing the Sunday, in keeping Christmas and Easter, they are accepting the authority of the spokesman for the church, the Pope.” Our Sunday Visitor (February 5, 1950)

Bible scholars agree that Christ was born in the Fall; but Satan has caused Christians to celebrate His birth on a pagan holiday.

Of all of the days of the year to select to celebrate Christ’s birth, this is the one day that definitely should not have been chosen.

For 1,000’s of years, pagans have worshiped the rebirth of their sun god on 12/25.

They believe that the sun dies on the winter solstice, which occurs on 12/21, when the Sun is furthest away from the Earth and the days are the shortest.

They believe that the Sun is dead for three days, and then comes back to life on the 24th, and its rebirth is celebrated on the 25th.

The birthday of the Babylonian sun god of Tammuz, the Egyptian sun god Ra, the Greek sun god Helios/Zeus, and the Roman sun god Mithra, are all celebrated on 12/25.

December 25th is a day that is set aside for sun god worship.

In the 4th century Roman Emperor Constantine combined their pagan Roman beliefs with Christianity. By 529 A.D., after Christianity had become the official state religion of the Roman Empire, Emperor Justinian made Christmas a civic holiday.

The “christianity” of the Roman Empire was the foundation of the Roman Catholic Church, which still worships the pagan gods of Rome, including the sun god, as evidenced by the Egyptian Obelisk in the middle of St. Peter’s Square, which represents Ra the sun god.

Do you believe that Christ is honored by Christians celebrating His birth on a pagan holiday?

Christ said, “But in vain they do worship Me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.” (Matt. 15:9).

Christ said, “Full well you reject the commandment of God, that you may keep your own tradition.” (Mark 7:9).

Celebrating Christmas is not a command of God—it is a tradition of men. And every year, throughout the world, on December 25th, Christians do just that, they keep a vain tradition of pagan Rome!

The Holy Feast Day of Passover commemorates Christ’s death and First Fruits represents His resurrection; but Satan has caused Christians to celebrate Easter, the holiday of the pagan fertility goddess.

Eggs and rabbits represents the fertility goddess Ishtar (pronounced Easter), and they have nothing to do with Christ’s death and resurrection.

The forty days’ abstinence of Lent was directly borrowed from the worshipers of the Babylonian goddess Semiramus, to commemorate the death of her son Tammuz.

Tammuz, the reincarnation of the sun god – Nimrod, was killed in a hunting accident when he was gored to death by a wild boar in his 40th year.

The 40 days of Lent – or weeping for Tammuz, starts the Easter fertility season.  The festivities culminate on Easter Sunday, when the priests of Easter slaughtered the “wild boar that killed Tammuz” and the entire congregation would eat “ham” on Easter Sunday.

God showed Ezekiel the abominations of the Jews, involving Tammuz;

“And He said to me, Turn again, and you will see greater abominations that they are doing. So He brought me to the door of the north gate of the LORD’s house; and to my dismay, women were sitting there weeping for Tammuz.” Ezekiel 8:14

Are you knowing (mind) and obeying (hand) God’s commandments about His Holy Feast Days, which our Messiah is fulfilling?

Or are you believing and following the Roman beast’s teachings about Easter and Christmas?

The Mark of the beast in Revelation 14, 15 and 16 was fulfilled by people in France and Spain who revered the Pope and obeyed his commands to kill the saints.

There are two separate fulfillment’s of the mark of the beast in the Bible, this one in the 17th-18th centuries; and one that occurs in the last days.

France and Spain had many Catholics, including their kings, who worshiped the Pope, they bowed to his authority and they obeyed his commands.

France was called the Eldest Son of the Papal Church, because their leaders diligently followed the Pope’s orders.

France was split between Catholics and Protestants called the Huguenots, so the Pope caused the King of France to have his people make war with the Protestants.

At the St. Batholomew’s Day Massacre, they killed 10’s of thousands of Huguenots.

The persecution in France was so severe, that no Protestants were left, as a million of them had either been killed or they fled. The Spanish Inquisition killed 300,000 victims.

These martyrs are spoken of in Revelation 15:2 “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.”

Because France, Spain and other countries bowed to the Popes authority and obeyed his commands to kill millions of Protestants, they had the mark of the beast on them, so our Lord poured out His wrath on them with the bowl judgments of Revelation 16.

They had the mark of the beast on them, not physically, but symbolically. Their worship of the Pope is the mark on their forehead. Their obedience of his commands is the mark on their hand. This tells us what the mark really means.

So we know that it is not some computer chip or tattoo, it was about following the commands of the antichrist Roman Pope.

Read the Revelation seals, trumpets and bowls, fulfillment study.

Revelation 13, 19 and 20 refer to the end times Mark of the Beast, which will be enforced by the Jesuits of Rome.

The Jesuits control the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund, the International Bank of Settlements, the Federal Reserve Bank, and Central Banks in almost every country, and the major banks and financial companies.

In their New World Order, they will control the monetary system, to dictate who buys and sells.

“He was granted power to give breath to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak and cause as many as would not worship the image of the beast to be killed.” Revelation 13:15

For those who refuse to bow to their authority, they will be cut off from the electronic monetary system and be killed.

“He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.” Revelation 13:16-17

If you obey their commands, then you are giving reverence and worship to the antichrist beast.  And you will then be allowed to buy and sell.

Getting a RF-ID chip or tattoo is not going to condemn you.

You will be condemned for obeying the commands of the beast.

The ‘mark‘ of Yahuah is obeying His commandments. The ‘mark‘ of the antichrist beast is to obey their commands.  Who are you marked for?

“Come out of her, my people, lest you share in her sins, and lest you receive of her plagues.“ Revelation 18:4

The mark of the beast is revering/worshiping (mark on forehead) and obeying (mark on right hand, actions) the antichrist Pope of Rome.  

An RFID chip or tattoo may be used in their One World Financial System, but that is a result of having the mark, it is the result of revering and obeying the antichrist Pope.
