We know that the Divine missions ('handiworks') on earth are
revealed through names. The governmental activities on earth are numbered —
right from the time of our births till we go to the graveyards. All human
activities on earth: right from birth certificates to death certificates and
etc., are numbered by the beasts/governments on earth. So, the beasts’ missions or modern governmental activities on
earth are in numbers. 666 is simply the handiwork of the 'last-hour' world government, which is totally void of divine wills: they were called the "tares."
The mission of man on earth revealed as 666. The '666' has its own prophets who serve to be the "mouths" or the
emissaries of the Old Serpent’s wills on earth.
The procreation of men was God’s design until in the days of Noah, the sons of God came to sabotage God’s idea of procreation
by cross-breeding the homo sapiens pedigree, giving births to the accursed new offspring called the nephilim, and also later after the flood; they were called the Anakites (see "Nephilim" in Numbers 13: 33). God decided to wipe out all the defaced
pedigrees of men and the animals except Noah and seven others together with all
those chosen pairs of animals who were guided by angels, embarking into the Ark.
In the coming Judgment's period, i.e. after the proclamation of the 'skies': “the sun turned darkness, and the moon does
not give off her light,” the Adversary would then go all out to battle against Judge’s agendas. He would confer his
diabolic authorities to the super governments on earth, and the rulers of the earth
would become his “mouths;” the “mouths’ mean to be the doers and propagators of
AntiChrist philosophies: the diabolic emissaries on earth. The name of Christ is the Word of God. Therefore, antiChrist means against the Word of God. The Word became human called the Son of the Most High and also called the Son of Man. St. John revealed that antiChrists do not believe in the Word that became human Jesus. In other words, antiChrists are referring to whosoever against the truth that "Word became human Jesus"; thus, they do not believe in the Lord's Pass Over. Jesus revealed that they were metaphorically prophesied as the "tares." They become Satan’s servants or "mouths" on earth. The account in Genesis Chapter 3 presaged the future descendants of the Serpent; Jesus
prophesied them as the “tares” in Matthew 13.
From ancient times as in Genesis chapter 3, it was
revealed by Isaiah’s prophecy in Isaiah 46: 10, that the end was known right
from the beginning; the Woman and her
descendants would be in adversarial relationships with the Serpent’s camps. The
apocalyptic conflicts between the Woman together with her offspring, and the Serpent and its descendants (the evil rulers) in Revelation 12, was,
in truth, already made known right from Genesis Chapter 3. In prophecy, the Hebrews were predestined to
be the symbolic motherhood of God’s peoples on earth, whereas the converted gentiles were represented as
the offspring. The woman in
Revelation chapter 12 was, in fact, symbolized by the same prophetic symbology
as in Joseph’s dream written in Genesis 37: 9.
In
Revelation 13, the whole arrays of activities of the rulers on earth would be centered
upon “buying and selling:” the activities are undeniably concerning numbers and
profits or else the figures of deficit or losses. Why then his name is in
number? (the beast out of the earth-the superpower nation who has powerful political influences upon world politics). This question could be rephrased and it exactly means: Why then his mission is in number?
During the days of King Solomon’s reign, “ 14 The weight of the gold that
Solomon received yearly was 666 talents, 15 not including the revenues from
merchants and traders and from all the Arabian kings and the governors of the
territories (1 Kings 10: 14). Through Scriptural and Prophetic lenses, our
present World Bank is the platform for manifesting the final monetary system which
is figuratively called 666: the ultimate mission of the faithless men or simply
the “tares.”
Solomon, the ruler, received annual gold tax
like-collections from all whom he ruled in his kingdom which amounted 666
talents of gold. This annual collection of gold is the simple shadow of the
enslaving mission of faithless men encrypted as 666. It does not mean that the
future beasts would exactly collect the same annual amount of gold, but it
simply means that the future economic system would operate based on the
resemblance of the “annual collections of gold during Solomon‘s era.
Divine missions on earth (names) & the Beasts‟ missions (number) on earth
God purposely reveals the beast‘s name in number because
it is specific compare to any proper name. He wouldn‘t reveal his proper name,
for example, the mock-name Dan ben Tribe,
because there would be many men who would be sharing the same name, but when it
is revealed in number, it refers to only one specific powerful person whose
mission is to control money through enforced monetary system. In fact, there
have been many powerful persons in economic history of the world who had had acquired
hegemonic money on earth, but this 666 specifically refers to the end-times powerful
person who wield control over money on earth during the chastisement period
called a time, times and half a time.
We all know that the prisoners in any prison are numbered because it is
practically specific in identifying each prisoner.
Thus, 666 is not only very accurate and specific, but
also it denotes modern highly evolved form of slavery. His monetary system is likened the locusts in Revelation 9
that came upon the whole face of the earth, enslaving all the inhabitants of
the world. It is written that those locusts looked like horses ready for
battles and having the stings of scorpion.
The world’s conquest through the implementations of agreed covenant had
become the new dimensions of battlefields. Military horses are not arrayed
against us, but the conquest of the insatiable abyss of fiat money has sucked
the wealth of all nations on earth. The accumulating debts of all nations seem
never be paid till the apointed time was pronounced against them.
Interestingly, all paper tender notes are numbered! Who is this future diabolic person who
controls all of those numbered paper tender notes? “...17 and made it
illegal for anyone to buy or sell
anything unless he had been branded with the name of the beast or with the number of its name.
(Revelation 13: 17) (name
means mission; “branded with” are referring to those signatory members of the
Covenant of Money). 18 There is need for shrewdness here: anyone clever may
interpret the number of the beast: it is the number (“mission”) of a human
being, the number 666.”
...A MARK ON THEIR RIGHT HANDS OR ON THEIR
FOREHEADS...(REVELATION 13: 16-18).
What does this mean?
The ancient Israelites‘ religious
observations of being “...a kingdom of
priest & a holy nation...and to be the treasured possession of Yahweh”
lies in the observance of Pass Over as commanded by Yahweh in Exodus 13.
Without the observation of Pass Over, then there was no worship of Yahweh from
the whole 12 tribes of Israel. To worship Yahweh as prescribed by Torah means
that Pass Over must be observed. The reason for observing the Ordinance as
stated in Exodus 13 verse 14, which say, “…What does this mean?...”, is simply
because it would serve … “like a sign on
your hand and a symbol on your forehead that reminded them … the Lord who
brought them out of Egypt with his mighty hand.”
The Old Covenant phrases… “like a sign on your hand and a symbol on your forehead…” seemed to
elucidate the secrets of the mission of the beast out of the earth in Revelation
13. Why did God reveal unto St. John the similar phrases as in Exodus 13: 16 in conveying the future monetary slavery of
mankind on earth? The answer is the matter of worship. However, the object of
worship is not Yahweh, but the beast or the creator of money ― “gods of this
world.” The rulers (political superpowers) of this earth, and money (money-creation-
powers) are inseparable, thus projecting the traits of the beasts’ ruler-ship
on earth. The prophesied mark on the right hand, or on their forehead rather
discloses spiritual truth about Covenant and slavery enforced by the Beast out
of the Earth. 11 Then I saw a second
beast, coming out of the earth. It had two horns like a lamb, but it spoke like
a dragon. 12 It exercised all the authority of the first beast on its behalf,
and made the earth and its inhabitants worship the first beast, whose fatal
wound had been healed. 13 And it performed great signs, even causing fire to
come down from heaven to the earth in full view of the people. 14Because of the
signs it was given power to perform on behalf of the first beast; it deceived
the inhabitants of the earth.
It ordered them to set up an image in
honor of the beast who was wounded by the sword and yet lived. 15 The second
beast was given power to give breath to the image of the first beast, so that
the image could speak and cause all who refused to worship the image to be
killed. 16 It also forced all people, great and small, rich and poor, free and
slave, to receive a mark (a sign) on their right hands or on their foreheads,
17 so that they could not buy or sell unless they had the mark, which is the
name of the beast or the number of its name Revelation 13: 11-17. Verse 17 tells us that nobody is able
to buy or sell, unless you obey the
enforced Laws of money. In Exodus 13: 14-16, we understand that the mark was a
symbolic word. In Revelation 13, the mark refers to the business of obeying or
observing the monetary laws.
What does the mark really mean?
To observe means to obey. So, obeying is due to our
acceptance and believing. Obedience through observance of Covenant is due to
our belief (or consent) means like you have the mark. The Old Covenant
worshippers were worshipping Yahweh through strict observance of Torah/Laws.
So, worship in Revelation 13 was, in truth, referring to the observance of diabolic laws made by the Rulers of the earth
(“tares”).
14 “In days to come, when your son
asks you, What does this mean? (…refers to the observance of the feast of unleavened bread which
kicked off on the 14th day, the pass over.). 16 …and it will be like a sign on your hand and a symbol on your
forehead that the Lord (gave us deliverance/freedom from the slavery in
Egypt)… with his mighty hand.” These figurative words, “...like a sign on your
hand and a symbol on your forehead…” were elucidated unto St. John the Apocalypse
in Revelation 13 as to represent the prophetic truth of the future slavery
(worship i.e. Observing the laws of the Beasts). The presence of the spirit of
God liberates us from our sins, but the laws of the beasts enslave us, as long
as the beast are enforcing their own money-torah on us.
The
Spirit of God could have revealed unto St. John the word from the book of Exodus 13: 14-16 regarding the “mark on their
right hands or on their foreheads.” It does not necessarily the real physical
mark done with the usages of advanced technology like microchip implants or the
lasered-identifications on our physical foreheads or hands as popularly
believed by many lay theologians in the net, but it merely points to the
Covenant of fiat money which coils up the whole inhabitants of the earth. The
Laws of the Covenant made by the Beast out of the Earth enslaves mankind and
all men have to obey the Laws. The worldwide agreement regarding the laws of
money says that we must believe in the system/Covenant of fiat money. The
prototype covenant was the present International agreement concerning money
which was enforced worldwide established since 1944 at the Bretton Woods
agreement, the 1971's Smithsonian Agreement and the 1976's Jamaica Treaty. And we must obey all the rules/international laws concerning the money.
The worldwide covenant of money must be accepted, as if you are worshiping
Yahweh, and St. John revealed this future slavery in symbolic words by
using 'similar phrases' in Exodus 13: 9 and 16.
There
are no others elements in life which is of utmost important except money. It is
considered the “river of life” in our present world systems. You cannot live
without money. You must obey the monetary laws otherwise you would be cut off
from the worldwide transactions of buying and selling. Though we already see
the foreshadowing 666, and yet we have not seen it under total diabolic
control. The future Beast out of the Earth will have absolute rule of the world
economic system through the Covenant of money. The future Covenant of money
would force all governments on earth to comply with the future monetary laws,
and the Beast out of the Earth shall be the undisputed hegemony of money on
earth. To believe and to comply with the terms of fiat money means “like a sign
on your hand and a symbol on your forehead.” It demands total compliance and
any resistance would mean deprivation of any advancement of secular modern
life. We are to have “the mark on the right hands or foreheads” otherwise we
would be cut off from the modern societies except that you are willing to be
deprived of everything from nowadays system of fiat money.
In
other words, the inhabitants of the earth are forced to believe in the system
and also to obey all the laws. Obeying the laws of money is like “…like a sign
on your hand and a symbol on your forehead” demanded by future the beast out of
the earth who enslaves all the inhabitants of the earth. “Who is like the
beast? Who can wage war against it?” Nobody can resist the beast-made-Laws - -since
the 1971’s Smithsonian Treaty and the latter Jamaican Agreement in 1976. We must
obey the Covenant of fiat money. The Beast out of the Earth was the “gods of this world.” Money has
become the pulsating heartbeat of life. In our modern times’ days, since
Bretton Woods International Agreement in 1944: all people, great and small,
rich and poor, free and slave, have had, in fact, received the mark on our
hands or on our foreheads, so that we could buy and sell. Revelation 3: 16-18
says:
16
And it will be like a sign on your hand and a symbol on your forehead that the
beast has authority over every tribe, people, language and nation. 8 All inhabitants
of the earth will worship the beast (ruler). 18 This calls for wisdom. Let the
person who has insight calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number
of a man. (e) That number is 666.
The
phrase, “…and it will be like a sign on your hand and a symbol on your forehead…”
as in Exodus 13: 9 and 16 was originally Yahweh's decree which referred to the
observation of Pass Over. When the beast rules the world with his system, he would counterfeit Yahweh's word “…sign on the
hand and forehead.” God said that it is through the Lord‘s Pass Over that
mankind was given Life but...in the end times, the beast had successfully
counterfeited the mark by forcing us the path of life which demands obedience
of all the laws concerning money. The ancient Israelites observance of Pass
Over manifested their obedience unto Yahweh as their ultimate King and the ultimate
Source of life. In the apocalyptic era, the corrupt gods of the earth (the
beast out od the earth) would force everyone to comply with the laws of money.
The beast out of the earth would enforce the laws of money upon mankind by
counterfeiting the ancient Yahweh’s decree upon the ancient Israelites which
stipulated that “…they must observe the Paschal.” The acts of observing the
Covenant would be likened as “a sign on your hand and a symbol on your forehead
….” Simply, it means we must obey the laws of money as if like the religion of
ancient Hebrew people who strictly observed the Torah.
In
the same way, the ruler or antichrist (666) would demand obedience unto the covenant
of money. It is the number of the beast because it is the mission of the rulers on earth.
We are familiar with the images of the rulers on our paper money notes and also
on the coins. In the end times, the image of the beast/ruler would be
worshipped. He counterfeits Yahweh‘s idea, and thus glorifying the “ gods of this world” aka the creators of money as the giver of life. The beasts
are the makers of money on earth. The instrument used by the adversary for the
future slavery would be the forced pathway of life i.e. simply through the
Covenant of money- - the Worldwide laws of money.
And we have no choice, but to receive the mark (~meaning
to obey the enforcement of laws concerning money). Our obedience to the laws of
the beast who comes out of the earth would be likened to the ancient
Israelites‘ obedience in worshipping YHVH trough strict observation of Torah.
Our observance of the Covenant of money would rather manifest our worshipping
(compliance to) to the image (enforced Laws) of the Beast out of the Earth--666.
When the saints refuse to obey the beasts' laws, then
surely their acts of disobeying would be seen as against the orders of the
world. The coming diabolic rulers are not only denying the Scriptural
teachings of Jesus, but also oppressing the saints. The saints’ disapproval of
the beasts‘ unscriptural laws would lead her into adversarial relationship with the beasts
of the earth. In the end times, the beasts on earth will scoff biblical values,
and they try to change set times and laws. Those unwelcomed changes would be manifested
during the prophesied chastisement a time, times, and half a time. The saints
would be conquered and defeated during the time period of a time, times and half
a time...until the Ancient of Days (Adonai Avinu) came and pronounce Judgment in
favor of the saints of the Most high, and the time came when they possessed the
kingdom (Daniel 7: 22).
The
woman would enter into the desert as soon as the poem of the Lord spoken by the
Lord Jesus Christ is pronounced in the court of heaven: “the sun will be
darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from the
sky and the heavenly bodies will be shaken.” Matthew 24: 29. The desert is the place for a time, times and half a time
where some shall fall by the sword and their flesh shall perish. Some shall go
into captivity. Some shall be burned, and plundered. Some of the wise will
stumble, so that they may be refined, purified and made spotless ...Dan. 11:
34. It is the eschatological period of Chastisement for the saints. The desert
is the place for patient endurance and faithfulness on the part of the saints
(Revelation 13: 10 b).
It may sound a dreadful period of time; however it is the
very place to see the divine dark cloud that becomes your shelter. And the
place where you can see the pillar of fire that guides you by night. If we
cannot see the guiding fire then we shall stumble in the desert, and our flesh
may perish in the desert…But in the days when the seventh angel sounds his
trumpet, the mystery of God will be accomplished just as he announced to his
servants the prophets (Revelation 10: 7). In the ancient conquest of the
delectable land, the seventh trumpet of victory was sounded on the seventh day
after encircling seven times the city of Jericho and Jericho fell on that day.
After a time, times and half a time...the Ancient of days came and pronounced
Judgment in favor (the seventh trumpet of victory) of the saints of the Most
High, and the time came when they possessed the kingdom. ...and there were loud
voices in heaven, which said:
“The kingdom of the world has become
The kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ,
And he will reign forever and ever.” (Revelation 11: 15)
In our prayer “Our Father” taught by
the Lord Jesus Christ, we recite the phrases, “Thy kingdom come, Thy will be
done on earth as it is in heaven” and
the fulfillment of those phrases would only become reality as prophesied
in Revelation 11: 15. Of course, in some aspects of spiritual life and tangible
governance, such phrases were fractionally fulfilled by the mission of the name of the Lamb of God or Prince of Peace
through the Church‘s age. Nonetheless, it is waiting for the descended Christ
to fully complete the Kingdom of God on earth.
Glossary
Beast
—In prophetic language, beasts refer to the heathen kingdoms or heathen nations
that become the dominators/Imperialists of the world. The ancient theocratic
nation of Israel (chosen nation) was betrothed to YHVH, and her nation was born on
the day of the Lord‘s Pass Over in Egypt. Therefore, she was called a woman. The rest of
the heathen nations either a kingdom or any modern super power nation, or even
the nowadays global-governing-body like the United Nations falls under the
prophetic term as “the beasts of the earth.”
See Daniel Chapter 7.
The prophetic term "the beast" must be closely related with the birth of the
Woman (house of Jacob who was once betrothed to YHVH). Since the birth of the
Woman through the Lord‘s Pass Over in Egypt, every world ruler/empire was
identified as the ancient beast or the beasts of the earth during the Old
Covenant‘s days. Even though those ancient beasts' rulerships had long disappeared on earth,
the list below might be helpful in understanding the cryptic phrases in Revelation
17: 10. Thus, the propable list of ancients beasts were namely Egyptian Empire,
Assyrian Empire, Babylonian Empire, Mede-Persian Empire, the Greek Empire and
the Roman Empire. Dominators of world‘s politics would be another criteria
into being the beasts of the earth. Some examples of the modern beasts on earth were
the Ottoman Empire, British Empire, the 10 lineages of European royal monarchies, the League
of Nation, the five veto-power super power-nations and even the present the
United Nations.
Horn —is associated with the authority of
a leader, and if the horn has a crown or a coronet ,then it means the leader is a
monarch/king/emperor. See Dan 7: 24 If the horn is having one eye, it means an
antichrist leader. The "seven eyes, seven horns and seven Spirits" is referring solely to
Christ.
Prostitute—The ancient theocratic nation of
Israel was betrothed to YHVH, and it began with the Lord‘s Pass Over in Egypt
and the Covenant of marriage (Torah) was given on Mt. Sinai. The Temple in
Jerusalem was the Centre of worship. Therefore, Jerusalem was once called the
woman because she was once the wife of YHVH (see Ezekiel 16). When Israelites
broke the Covenant of marriage, she became a prophesied prostitute. The northern
10-tribes Kingdom abandoned the worship of YHVH, and thus she was called Oholibamah (Older prostitute), and later the Southern Kingdom of Judah
abandoned their worship of YHVH after King Josiah‘s death, then God called her
name as Oholibah (the younger prostitute - - see Ezekiel 16
and Ezekiel 23). She continued her prostitution when the city of Jerusalem ruled
by numerous gentiles kings/rulers. Here, prostitution is not related to literal
interpretation, but merely a metaphor where Jerusalem would be called as a
woman, if the ruling king was King YHVH, and if the ruling kings were the
earthly gentiles' kings, then she was called as a prostitute.
Mother of all the prostitutes (Revelation 17) — Revelation 17: 5
says...on her forehead was written a name, a cryptic name: Babylon the Great,
the mother of all the prostitutes, and all the filthy practices on the earth.
When Israelites abandoned YHVH worship, she turned into prostitution. The
gentile nations were not addressed by God as prostitutes because they were
called the beasts of the earth. Later, this Old Covenant prostitute rejected
the prophesied "Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world." This prostitute had rejected the Mother of all Pass Over. Formerly, they broke
the Covenant of marriage with King YHVH. It had been predicted long ago of their
rebellions since the days of Prophet Moses. God said, “and I will certainly
hide My face on that day because of all their wickedness in turning to other
gods" (Deut. 31: 18). Oholibamah and Oholibah rejected the Lamb of God (the
Mother of all pass over), and therefore they turned into Mother of all the
prostitutes. A prostitute in its contextual meaning in Revelation 17 is
referring to those who had rejected both the marriage of YHVH, and the marriage
offer of Jesus. Their disobedience caused the city of Jerusalem (the Woman), as if to be
betrothed to the gentile kings. Ruler ship of foreign kings in Jerusalem is
prophetically depicted as prostitution. Briefly, the members of the house of Jacob
(Old Covenant woman) who rejected the perfect Lord‘s Pass Over would eventually
become the Mother of all prostitutes, and their modern secular nation is
the former British Mandate in Palestine. The prostitute acquired the city of
seven hills by riding the Beasts of the earth (United Kingdom, United Sates of America and the United
Nations). And in the apocalypse's era, this woman would ride her last husband the
Scarlet Beast (the metamorphosed United Nations?). “...in the Great City, which is figuratively called Sodom and
Egypt, where also their Lord was crucified” in Revelation 11: 8 refers to the
great city mentioned in Revelation 17: 18. So, the Mystery Babylon the great,
Mother of all prostitutes is the City of Jerusalem.
Like a river ( Revelation 12: 15) —The River in
Isaiah 8:7 was identified as the symbolic representation of the emperor who was
associated with Euphrates-Tigris river (Great River) as the geographical
location of the ancient Assyrian Kingdom. “...the mighty floodwaters (divine judgment
manifested as conquering power through wars) brought forth by the King of
Assyria with all his pomp.” So, the verse “the serpent vomited water from his
mouth, “like a river,” after the woman, to sweep her away in the current”
(Revelation 12: 5) tells us about a leader; any leader whose ambition is to wipe out the woman. In Isaiah 8:7, the River was
orchestrated by the invisible hand of Yahweh to bring punishment on Judah.
In contrast, Revelation 12:5 “like a river” was orchestrated by the Devil because it is spewed out from the mouth of the Serpent. Christ was the Word became flesh. This "like a river" was a counterfeit of Divine's handiwork, but it was coming out from the Old Serpent. Thus, we know that the leader “like a river” would be manifested during a time, times, and half a time where God would allow the Devil together with his hosts to run their evil manifestations in full measure on earth. Briefly, this “like a river” political leader would only come out during a time, times, and half a time. His ruler ship precedes the appearance of the Beast out of the Sea. Some biblical scholars believed that "like a river" had appeared since the infancy period of the Church, and (he) kept on reappearing throughout history!

Woman—YHVH‘s
chosen nation is distinguishable through allegorical identification as a woman.
The chosen nation (ancient theocratic nation of Israel or the house of Jacob) was
metaphorically married to YHVH; therefore she was recognized as a woman. Her disobedience
led her into prostitution. Ezekiel 16 and Ezekiel 23 revealed the rebellious
house of Jacob as a prostitute. Northern 10-tribes kingdom was called Oholibamah and the southern Judah
Kingdom was called Oholibah.
Revelation 12: 1 refers specifically to the house of Jacob, but later this
identification was, in fact, applied to the earliest Church with the same
heavenly sign (symbol)—a woman who was clothed with the sun with moon under her
feet and twelve stars above her head. The Church (the earliest Hebraic, followers of the Way) was betrothed to Jesus Christ
just like the Old Covenant house of Jacob who was betrothed to YHVH, but later
ended up as a divorced wife or a prostitute. The Old Covenant worshippers
abandoned their observation of Torah, and collectively they ended up as a
prostitute.
Those (ex Old Covenant worshippers) who believed in the Lord Jesus‘ Pass Over became the Woman of
the New Covenant marriage: the woman clothed with the Sun. But, those who rejected the perfect Pass Over of
Jesus continued
their prostitution, and yet they still be identified as the the degraded woman called the prostitute. The Hebrews who did not believe in Jesus as the fulfillment of the prophesied Davidic Branch
was foretold to end up riding the Scarlet Beast in Revelation 17: 5. The Old Covenant
nation of Israel was birthed out from the Lord‘s Pass Over in Egypt. Typologically,
the house of Jacob (12 Apostles and the Hebraic believers) of the New Covenant was
similarly born from Lord Jesus‘ Pass Over as in fulfillment of Luke 24: 44. The
earliest Hebraic followers (New Covenant house of Jacob) of Christ then
evangelized the gentile nations, and the converted heathens were called as the
children of the woman or Offspring. So, the woman either the Old Covenant worshippers or the new Covenant Worshippers somehow shared the same symbology. Thus, woman either the prostitute or the woman bethrothed to Christ was referring to the house of Jacob. The converted gentiles were the offspring; they never shared the symbol of the house of Jacob as in Joseph's dream in Gen 37:9, and yet they were considered married to Christ Jesus. And the gentile rulers of the earth are called the beasts.
Worshipping the beast —In the book of Revelation, the word
"worship" must not be interpreted as worshipping in the Spirit or spirit, as we
are accustomed to the New Covenant teachings, but rather be seen in the context
of observing the enforced laws. The Old Covenant worshippers were worshipping
Yahweh through strict observance of Torah. Example: The phrases like “…they
also worshipped the beast” in Revelation 13: 4 is referring to the observance
of antiChrist-laws made by the rulers of the earth (human made laws). The examples of the modern beasts'
laws were the Covenant of the League of Nations, and also the present United
Nation Charter. The phrase “worshipping the beast” in Revelation 13 does not
refer to the worship in spirit, but it's rather referring to the act of obeying the laws
made by the endtimes' global governing body/imperialists (Beasts) of the earth.
Seal of God - Seal of God refers to the empowerment of the Holy Spirit. It means a believer's wick of spirit becomes the "holy of holiest" of the descending Holy Spirit. The tangible manifestation of the presence of the Holy Spirit is the "tongue of fire," "halo," or like "a light above the head." (Acts 2: 1-4; Job 29: 3). Thus, angelic sealing means a ministering angel is assigned to a believer. That angel is surely having the "name" of God.
