Revelation 13:2-4
And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority. And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast. And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?
Five (5) references to ‘beast.’ 5 denotes satanic influence over evil men.
Jesus Identified the Sign of the Antichrist: He is NOT Macron, Trump, Putin, Jinping, Gates or Pope Francis. The ‘Beast’ has been identified NOW, and his role changes to the Antichrist 3.5 years into the Tribulation.
From Daniel’s time, God’s prophetic time schedule for Israel was 490 years. The prophetic clock stopped seven years early at 483 years when Jesus entered triumphantly into the temple on Palm Sunday (the numbers work out to about 30 A.D.) There is now one seven-year period remaining. The book of Revelation is all about that seventh year (often called the Tribulation or the Great Tribulation) which concludes with the second coming of Christ.
When the Antichrist signs a peace treaty with Israel the seven-year prophetic clock will restart. After the first three and half years he breaks the Israeli peace treaty (Daniel 11:21). He sets up a little image called the Abomination of Desolation.
“He will confirm a covenant with many for one ‘seven.’ In the middle of the ‘seven’ he will put an end to sacrifice and offering. And at the temple he will set up an abomination that causes desolation, until the end that is decreed is poured out on him.” (Daniel 9:27)
We are looking forward to the rapture when the Saints are taken up into heaven. However, Jesus makes it clear that the most critical sign is the signing of that peace treaty with the Antichrist.
2 Thessalonians 2:3 “Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition, who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.
The Beast becomes the Antichrist exactly at the midpoint of the tribulation. The beast now is also revealed as the Antichrist 3.5 years into the tribulation.
Night Watchman Note: I have been saying this now for almost three (3) years. MbS is the ‘beast’ and future ‘Antichrist’. If current world events are not enough to get your attention of where we are in the prophetic timeline, look no further than at Israel (God’s prophetic timepiece). And by extension, MbS. I have gone to great effort in documenting, over the past three years, MbS’ meteoric rise AND his detailed involvement in assisting Jared Kushner in drafting the false covenant of ‘peace and safety’ for Israel and the Palestinians. SOON!!! He will confirm and enhance the plan for seven (7) years. Following after the requisite secular article, is my concise analysis that should PROOVE beyond any reasonable doubt, who MbS represents … currently and in the coming seven (7) year tribulation. If this analysis is correct, which I believe it to be, then by logic and definition … REDEMPTION IS IMMINENT! A Christian should know of what I speak. If you are not a Christian, and have absolutely no idea of what I am referring to, PLEASE see my blog articles and analysis regarding the ‘rapture/harpazo.’
As the ‘great spiritual apostasy’ or ‘falling away’ has occurred, the ‘SON OF PERDITION’ is being revealed. He is the ‘Man of Lawlessness’ and ‘Beast’ and ‘Son of Perdition’ now, and will ultimately be revealed as the Antichrist, midway through the coming tribulation when he commits the ‘Abomination of Desolation’ and declares himself to be God and to be worshiped accordingly. YES, you read that correctly. I say this in all sincerity, humility with a clear and sober mind, after great research, analysis, prayer and discernment. Surely, I am not the only person on God’s planet earth who watches and sees this? Don’t take my word. Do you own research, do your own prayer. Consider the Great Convergence of Signs that is occurring. Yes, coronavirus is one of the ‘signs’ as it is a form of pestilence. Consider the lunatic pontifications from the False Prophet. Consider what NEOM (Babylon) represents. Never heard of NEOM? I suggest you ‘google it’ and read for yourself. Consider that the covenant of ‘peace and security’ has ALREADY been revealed, but it has not been ‘ratified’ or ‘CONFIRMED’ yet by MbS for all those countries affected by the agreement … MENA (Middle East / North African nations). All of these nations, are for the most part, either Muslim and/or Arabic. ALL are beholden to Saudi Arabia, and MbS, for one reason or another. IT ALL FITS TOGETHER!!!
Revelation 17:8-11 The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is. And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth. And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space. And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.
‘Seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.’ = NEOM Babylon sits on the seven (7) tallest mountains in the Midian Mountain range in the Tabuk region of Saudi Arabia. Tallest mountain is Mount Sinai. These mountains are scarlet and purple colored due to volcanic origin and related minerals deposited in rock. NEOM is a $500 (5) billion technological/hedonistic paradise. No mention or acceptance of Christ.
The seven and eight kings are in reference to the genetic lineage (bottomless pit of evil) of the House of Saud. These are ALL the modern kings since the foundation of modern Saudi Arabia.
Proof of the ‘line of’ of the 8 kings.
Kings of Saudi Arabia (1932–present)
1. King Ibn Saud. 9/22/1932 – 11/9/1953. Kingdom founded by conquest. Had six (6) sons that became Kings of the Kingdom. Six (6) is the number of evil man/men. The ground work for this kingdom was being created at the same time as the ground work for the State of Israel. Satan started establishing his ‘chosen people’ (those who worship the dragon and beast) at the same time God was re-establishing his ‘chosen people’ (the Jews) over the 1930’s to late 1940’s. 1 of the 5 ‘fallen/dead’ kings.
2. King Saud. 11/9/1953 – 11/2/1964. 2 of the 5 ‘fallen/dead’ kings.
3. King Faisal. 11/2/1964 – 3/25/1975. 3 of the 5 ‘fallen/dead’ kings.
4. King Khalid. 3/25/1975 – 6/13/1982. 4 of the 5 ‘fallen/dead’ kings.
5. King Fahd. 6/13/1982 – 8/1/2005. 5 of the 5 ‘fallen/dead’ kings.
6. King Abdullah. 8/1/2005 – 1/23/2015. The king ‘that is.’ This is the 6th king revealed by the Holy Spirit to John the Apostle. He is the signpost for the ‘season of the times’ of the latter days, prior to the tribulation. A sign for the evil Gentile nations.
7. King Salman. (King 2015 – ?). 1/23/2015- (2020?) This is the 7th and ‘future’ king revealed to John the Apostle who will reign for a ‘short time or while’. If his reign lasts 5 years, from 2015 on into 2020, it will truly reflect a short reign and be representative of Satan’s influence on men and kings. King Salman is the LAST of the six (6) sons of Ibn Saud to be King of Saudi Arabia.
8. Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman. He is the 8th and final ‘future’ king revealed to John the Apostle. He is the ‘beast’, comes from seven (7) kings/lineage before him and goes to perdition. His reign is over the seven (7) years of the tribulation. Born 1985, he will be 35 (7×5) years old in 2020. Seven (7) denotes God’s divine completion to His plan or purpose. Five (5) denotes Satanic influence of men and kings. God’s influence over men in greater than Satan’s influence over men 7>5. Notice that MBS will be the FIRST king who is NOT a direct son of founding King Ibn Saud in 1932. Becoming the 8th king, MBS represents a ‘new epoch’ a ‘new future’ for the kingdom that forms an ideological break from the past. Eight (8) denotes a new beginning, new timeline, new season, new plan. God is addressing the evil status quo of the House of Saud (bottomless pit of evil, wealth, influence, power, corruption) and ushering in the time of great wrath, the tribulation for Gentile nations. From a spiritual perspective, MBS not being one of the six (6) sons of the founding King Ibn Saud, now holds claim to being the son of perdition under the power and influence of the dragon (Satan). MBS has no allegiance to his family tree, tradition, other family princes and historical political protocol. Only an extremely evil, pathological soul manipulated by Satan would turn on his own family. In Satan’s plan, he used the ‘bottomless pit’ of evil House of Saud to raise MBS, the beast, the son of perdition to be in the positions he both currently and in future, will hold. Just as Jesus Christ had an earthly family tree and lineage, Satan used the House of Saud as the earthly family tree, lineage for his son of perdition, the beast, the coming Antichrist.
At the time John the Apostle was in the Holy Spirit and given a ‘vision’ of the future, 5 of the Saudi Kings were already dead (fallen). He was shown the sixth king, and told that a future 7th and 8th king were coming. The sixth king was a ‘sign post’ of the beginning of the ‘end times’ prior to the tribulation. The 7th King ‘short while’ in current King Salman, the last son of founder Saud. Mbs, Mohammed bin Salman is ‘Crown Prince’ and will become the 8th king (goes into perdition). MbS is the ‘Beast’ who rules during the seven (7) year tribulation and great tribulation (last 3.5 year period.) MbS (Beast now), becomes the Antichrist midway during the 7 year tribulation, at the occurrence known as the ‘Abomination of Desolation.’
‘One World Government’, the ‘BEAST System’; The End Times and the Great Reset. The drastic enforcement of completely disproportionate and permanent emergency laws already has all the signs of a health dictatorship.
Thu Apr 8, 2021 – LIFESITENEWS By Fr. Frank Unterhalt
April 8, 2021 (LifeSiteNews) – The present historical hour heralds the approaching end of times.
Everything that is predicted in the Holy Scripture is taking place. The Fathers of the Church have classified this very clearly in their exegesis. Here, St. Irenaeus of Lyon is to be mentioned in particular. In his work Adversus haereses, he makes it clear that the course of world history is analogous to the biblical days of Creation.[1] These seven days correspond to the seven epochs of history.
Irenaeus “writes that before the coming of Christ in glory, that is at the end of the sixth day, comes the greatest recapitulation of wickedness (Mysterium iniquitatis), or the summing up of the lawlessness in the history of the world.”[2]
The Church Father refers to 2 Thess 2:3-12 and interprets the seventh chapter of the Book of Daniel. There we read in the famous prophecy of the so-called fourth kingdom: “Then I wanted to know more about the fourth beast, the beast that was different from all the others, quite terrible to look at, with teeth of iron and claws of bronze, that ate everything and crushed it, and what remained it trampled with its feet. Also (I wanted to know more details) about the ten horns on its head and about the other horn that had grown up and before which the three horns had fallen off, the horn that had eyes and a mouth that spoke insolently, and which finally seemed to be bigger than the others. […] The (angel) answered me: The fourth beast means: A fourth kingdom will arise on earth, completely different from all other kingdoms. It will devour the whole earth, tread it down and crush it. The ten horns mean: Ten kings will reign in that kingdom; but after them will come another. This one is quite different from the earlier ones. He overthrows three kings, he blasphemes against the Most High and oppresses the saints of the Most High. […] To him the saints will be delivered for a time and two times and half a time. But then judgment will be given. That king will be stripped of his power; he will be finally cut off and destroyed” (Dan 7:19-26).
The final horn of the fourth beast is the antichrist, in whom the Mysterium iniquitatis is embodied. This ultimate and personified manifestation of the adversary brings the recapitulation of the whole apostasy from God, the globalization of wickedness. The reign of the antichrist is measured to last three and a half years.[3]
It should be noted that the Book of Daniel is in great parallel with the Secret Revelation of John. There it speaks of the beast that came up out of the sea, resembling a panther, with the paws of a bear and the mouth of a lion (cf. Rev. 13:1-2).
The “result is that in his image the seer has fused into one the four beasts that Daniel was shown in a vision (Dan 7:2-7) […] If John uses these symbolic figures […] in Daniel for his description and condenses them into one single animal figure, this certainly means first of all that he sees the antichrist as a political ruler who uses all his power for the purpose of eliminating the last remnant of God’s reign on earth and helping him who is opposed to God to absolute power over the world and mankind.”[4]
The beast succeeds in the political unification of the peoples of the earth and the establishment of a worldwide dominion. His dictatorship is thus all-encompassing.[5]
“With the help of such universal power it is now also possible for the beast to enforce for himself and his master public worship everywhere,”[6] which the antichrist will claim for himself. His number is 666 (cf. Rev. 13:18), since he wants to place himself above God, because the number 333 indicates the one true God, namely the Most Holy Trinity. With the appearance of the antichrist “before the end of times, the hostility to God and Christ in world history reaches its climax and at the same time its end. By virtue of his superhuman abilities and possibilities, the antichrist is able to usurp universal world dominance before God finally plunges him forever into ruin.”[7]
In our time, a technical, media, political and economic centralization has become globally possible, combined with total surveillance. The basic conditions are prepared from long hand to conjure up a universal dictatorship.
“The antichrist […] will thus represent the strongest political power in world history! He will establish a godless world empire and in it he will also seize the entire economic power (cf. Rev. 13:17) […] The anti-christian power of the end times is therefore also connected with an anti-christian worldview, with a kind of state religion […] The church of the end times will be a martyr church and all former glory will have vanished from it. To sum up: the antichrist or the anti-christian power of the end times will be the strongest political and economic power that has ever existed in the world. His kingdom will encompass the whole world and at the same time represents a spiritual power that will proclaim a new faith to take the place of the old one. But the Lamb will defeat the antichrist and his power (Rev. 17:14; 19:20-21).”[8]
The essential pioneers and the decisive instruments for the anti-christian seizure of world domination are Freemasonry and Communism, which cooperate for this very purpose.[9] The corresponding strategy postulated the so-called “synarchy […], that is, a unified world state with a unified government planned as a counter-church. […] Politically, the synarchy strives for the integration of all social and financial powers, which this world government under socialist leadership would naturally have to carry and promote. Catholicism, like all religions, would consequently be absorbed by a universal syncretism.”[10] Behind the treacherous concept of universal brotherhood is hidden the enslavement of man in a dictatorial system. The anti-christian world state of the Freemasons is connected with the erection of a “super-religion” as created by themselves: “As an ideology of unity, which calls valid only that in man ‘what is human in him, alone what is common to all men’, this ‘religion in which all men agree’ is supposed to be the liberating and redeeming element for the better world, which alone can be built by the masters of the ‘Royal Art’ [Freemasons].”[11] The diabolical plan of the so-called New World Order entails the introduction of the antichrist as the head of humanity.[12]
Against this background, the signs of the times are even clearer.
Time Magazine presented with an issue “The Great Reset,” the dimension of which clearly goes in the direction of world socialism. Very revealing is the corresponding subtitle, which literally admits the following: “The Covid-19 pandemic has provided a unique opportunity to think about the kind of future we want.”[13] This intention is now apparently being applied with the goal of a new world order. The United Nations Special Envoy for Global Education, Gordon Brown, called for the creation of a global government to deal with the coronavirus, much in the same spirit.[14] And Henry Kissinger affirmed that if a new world order was not established after Covid-19, it could set the world on fire.[15] George Soros, the financially powerful oligarch and ideologue for immigration, abortion, homosex and climate change, dictates the course for media and politics.[16] Bill Gates, Bilderberger, major funder of WHO, abortion activist and advocate of drastic population reduction, has already pushed his plan in the form of global vaccination.[17]
Leading heads of state stage themselves as the supposed protective power. The drastic enforcement of completely disproportionate and permanent emergency laws already has all the signs of a health dictatorship. Violations of the restrictive regulations of the authoritarian doctrine are punished with severe penalties. The massive deprivation of basic rights and total surveillance herald the enslavement of man in the name of his “liberating” protection. Government leaders, responsible for the murder of millions of children in the womb by enforcing diabolical abortion laws, now claim that their historically drastic measures are about saving human lives. This staging is accompanied by the mainstream media, which appear to be largely synchronized and which, in a gigantic hype, revolve almost exclusively around the so-called pandemic – with dramatically staged images and reports. Deviating evidenced argumentation of many renowned scientists are branded as “conspiracy theories.”
The severe damage to the economy through far-reaching lockdowns, the bringing about of an immense financial crisis and the intended overcoming of national sovereignty make it abundantly clear which centralistic agenda is to be imposed on the entire world. Extremely telling in this context are the words of UN Secretary General António Guterres: “We cannot go back to the way it was […] We need a networked multilateralism, bringing together the UN system, regional organizations, international financial institutions and others. […] In the 21st century, Governments are no longer the only political and power reality. And we need an effective multilateralism that can function as an instrument of global governance where it is needed.”[18]
The United Nations and the World Economic Forum (WEF) agreed to a far-reaching partnership in June 2019.[19]
The globalists are pushing ahead with the “Great Reset” they have planned and imposed on humanity, driven by the ideology of the New World Order. Speaking candidly about this, Klaus Schwab, founder and chairman of the World Economic Forum, said: “Many of us are pondering when things will return to normal. The short response is: never. Nothing will ever return to the ‘broken’ sense of normalcy that prevailed prior to the crisis because the coronavirus pandemic marks a fundamental inflection point in our global trajectory. […] the world as we knew it in the early months of 2020 is no more, dissolved in the context of the pandemic.”[20] As early as May 2016, Schwab had said that the Fourth Industrial Revolution would lead to a “fusion of our physical, our digital, and our biological identities.”[21]
The “Great Reset” wants to force the entire global economy into collectivism. Its propaganda gives a threefold purpose: “repairing the global economic damage, […] stopping a coming climate change catastrophe and using the two previously mentioned ‘crises’ as an opportunity to advance socialist ideals, including the destruction of […] individual rights.”[22]
In this context, the role of the United Nations must be seen clearly: “In 2015 […] the UN took a giant step towards the global government […]. They issued a document entitled ‘Transforming Our World: the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.’”[23]
At the WEF summit in Davos in 2017, Schwab said: “In a world marked by ‘uncertainty’, everything looks to China with ‘confidence’.”[24] At the same time, the World Economic Forum and “China’s National Development and Reform Commission” signed a memorandum with the intention of further deepening cooperation.[25] This collaboration with the communist dictatorship aims, among other things, at the abolition of private property.[26] Observers also mention the control of thought, speech, and action, as well as the control of the masses through media mainstreaming, accompanied by LGBT ideology and the abortion agenda.[27]
It should also be noted that China’s influence in the UN is increasing.[28] Its “interest in leadership positions within the United Nations is great, as these officials have special powers.”[29]
It is worth noting in this context that the U.S. Biden administration is also pushing an overt alliance with the “Build Back Better” slogan used by the WEF.[30]
Underlying the “Great Reset” is the philosophical term of transhumanism. Its concept argues “that the human species should take control of its own evolution through human-enhancement technologies”[31]. Thought is also given to “brain implants and nanotechnology that reverses aging”[32]. This should lead to the overcoming of the physical and mental limits of mankind.
The WEF founder “specifically considers technologies that will change what it means to be human, because they will integrate into the human body and mind in order to overcome (‘transcend’) their limitations. […] As Schwab himself admits, these new technologies can also ‘intrude into the hitherto private space of our minds, reading our thoughts and influencing our behavior’”.[33]
As Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò has aptly stated in his interview with Deutsche Wirtschaftsnachrichten, “the plan for the establishment of the New World Order cannot fail to give itself a universal religion of Masonic inspiration, at the head of which there must be a religious leader who is ecumenical, pauperist, ecological and supposedly progressive.”[34]
The World Economic Forum has already officially presented this one, for a particularly frequent emphasis “for his support of the ‘Great Reset’”[35] is given to Bergoglio, as he calls himself in the Vatican Yearbook.[36] The latter’s open call for the New World Order as a result of the pandemic so designated corresponds precisely to the globalists’ goal.[37]
The related framework is provided by the brochure Fratelli tutti (FT), which praises the universal brotherhood, the well-known principle of the Freemasons.[38] With the appeal “Liberty, Equality and Fraternity” (FT 103-105), the said document incorporates expressis verbis the slogan of the French Revolution, the anti-christian precursor of socialism.[39] In addition, there is the piercing scandal of having betrayed the faithful Underground Church of China to the communist regime.[40] Fratelli tutti leads to religious indifferentism (FT 281) and draws a link back to the document of Abu Dhabi (FT 5 and 285), which seals the sum of all heresies[41]: in the assertion that the pluralistic diversity of religions is willed by God. In the neopagan madness of the sacrilegious and blasphemous Pachamama worship, the reference to “Mother Earth” was manifested.[42] The call of the author of Fratelli tutti to obey the United Nations speaks for itself.[43] Already in 2014, the former Israeli president Shimon Peres had proposed to him in the Vatican to “found the ‘United Religions’” – further developed out from the UN.[44] Bergoglio established the so-called “High Committee for Human Fraternity,” which has already launched the interreligious building project “Abrahamic Family House” in Abu Dhabi.[45] The next step toward a world-unity-religion is then not far away.
The night of the apocalyptic apostasy will culminate in the appearance of the antichrist. During the time of his worldwide tyranny, the True Church of the Lord will experience the paschal mystery of Christ in an intense way and follow Him in His death and resurrection.[46]
After that, the dawn of the glorious new day will arise, namely the seventh in the history of the world, described by St. Irenaeus of Lyons. The Church Father says: “But when this antichrist will have laid waste everything in this world, reigning three years and six months and enthroned in the temple of Jerusalem, then the Lord will come from heaven in the clouds in the Glory of the Father. That one He will cast into the lake of fire along with his followers, but for the righteous he will bring about the times of the kingdom, that is rest, the holy seventh day.”[47]

False Prophet: Revelation 13:11-17. (The world’s most ‘trusted social influencer.’)
11 And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.
12 And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.
13 And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,
14 And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.
15 And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.
16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
The “Document on Human Fraternity” blurs the distinction and changes the meaning of fraternity, extending it to the relationships between peoples of different religions, as if Muslims and Christians are “brothers and sisters” praying to the same God.
Roman Catholicism legitimizes prayers to other deities or religious ideals, silencing the prophetic message of Scripture that we either serve the biblical God or idols. It fails to bear witness to the claims of Jesus Christ as the God-man who came to save those who believe in him, and instead changes the meaning of fraternity by stretching it indiscriminately to all humanity, rather than believers in Jesus only. In so doing, the tenets of the biblical faith are trampled on.
This is a further move away from biblical Christianity. Not being anchored in Scripture alone, not being committed to Christ alone, Roman Catholicism is anxious to extend its ever-expanding catholicity (i.e. all-encompassing embracement) in all directions, even those clearly contrary to the basics of the Christian faith.
Revelation 17:1-9. Mystery Religion in Babylon (NEOM). False religion. NEOM is the great city of many peoples and false (non-Christian) religions that sits on seven (7) mountains which is the center of spiritual humanism, abominations, fornications, blasphemies and filthiness. Religious coexistence and acceptance of all non-Christian religions, the brotherhood, fraternity of cultural inclusivity, secular peace, tolerance, rejection of extremism, religious dialogue, social goals, ecology and salvation by human efforts and agreements. A demonic mix of compromised, false Christianity (Catholicism) with moderate Islam that accepts other false religions like Hinduism, Buddhism, Humanism, (‘isms’). Everything but the true worship and acknowledgement of Christ and his offer of salvation through the shedding of his blood on the cross, and his forgiveness of our sins through his death and resurrection. Christ is completely ignored and rejected in the religious soup-from-hell or the mystery religion that is served in the great end-times restaurant known as Babylon (NEOM). False prophet proclaims “ALL religions are willed by God.”
And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.
And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever
Seven-fold Reference to the Beast’s Mark/Name/Number Required by the False Prophet:
- … “And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads.” (Rev. 13:16). (Emphasis added).
- … ”And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand.” (Rev. 14:9). (Emphasis added)
- … “And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name”. (Rev. 14:11). (Emphasis added).
- … “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.” (Rev. 15:2). (Emphasis added).
- … “And the first went, and poured out his vial upon the earth; and there fell a noisome and grievous sore upon the men which had the mark of the beast, and upon them which worshipped his image.” (Rev. 16:2). (Emphasis added).
- … “ And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimestone.” (Rev. 19:20). (Emphasis added).
- … “And I saw the thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgement was given unto them: and I saw souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hand; and they live and reigned with Christ a thousand years.” (Rev. 20:4). (Emphasis added).
Commentary: The false prophet causes those who dwell on the earth to do a lot of bad things. The beast/antichrist uses marks to identify those who belong to his evil kingdom. The mark of the beast is physically apparent on the forehead or right hand of his citizens. What this mark will look like is a matter of debate and conjecture. It could be a stamp using non-removable die, a tattoo, or even a physical blemish that results from genetic manipulation. Cattle are often marked or branded by their ranchers or owners for identification. The process of cattle branding uses extremly hot fire to heat up a metal die or stamp (at the end of a long metal pole). The metal stamp is heated until the point of being red hot (glowing), or hot enough to burn a mark, initials or emblem into the leathery, thick skin of the cattle. This leaves a mark deep enough, that the cattle cannot outgrow the rancher’s mark of ownership. They permanently belong to him, until they are sold and slaughtered. By the beast/antichrist using a mark to identify his ownership of unredeemed souls, he views them as cattle…ready for the slaughterhouse of hell. The marking of unredeemed souls compares very differently to the seals or sealing used by God on those redeemed by the blood of Jesus Christ. (Rev. 3:12, 7:3-4, 7:5-8, 14:1).
Historically, a seal was placed by a king on a document to authenticate the document’s origin and ownership. In many cases, wax would be heated to the point of melting and dripped onto the document’s edges. As the wax was drying, the king would use a signet ring or royal stamp to put his initials, mark, or royal crest (emblem) into the wax. As long as the seal was not broken, the person receiving the official document, sealed and in tact, immediately knew who sent the document and that it was not tampered with. The recipient could then be assured of the document’s authenticity and accuracy. God applies his seal of ownership to redeemed souls, through Jesus Christ. We have a royal seal of the spirit as opposed to the physical marking characterized by the antichrist. We have been spared a bloody slaughtering, as Christ was already bloodily slaughered on the cross for our behalf. By contrast, the cattle owned by the antichrist/beast will experience a bloody slaughtering at Armeggedon. (Rev. 14:20 … “blood came out of the winepress, even unto the horse bridles, by the space of a thousand and six hudred furlongs). The mark of the antichrist/beast indicates the corrupted physical and spiritual image of those he owns, whereas, the seal of God, through Jesus Christ, indicates our imager status as belonging to God and of being citizens of heaven and the New Jersusalem.
I would rather have the loving, royal seal of God, given to us by Christ, in my heart and head…than to have an ugly, stamp forced or burned onto my forehead or hand. Once again, in his Revelation to John, the Apostle, Jesus mentions seven (7) times that the mark of the beast will lead to eternal damnation. He cares enough about all of us, to keep repeating himself and reminding us, over and over. Unfortunately, there will be millions (or billions) who ignore or don’t care about his warnings and offer of salvation. The beast/antichrist forces his mark on souls, whereas Jesus, gives us his mark. He doesn’t force himself on anyone who doesn’t’ want to be idenfied with him or his kingdom. Just as Jesus indicates what happens to “those who take the mark of the beast” (white throne judgement, lake of fire), He also indicates what happens to “those who do not take the mark of the beast”. We are victorious, live and reign with Christ for one thousand years, have harps of God, stand on a sea of glass, sit on thrones. What a contrast in eternal existence!
Seven-fold Evils of the False Prophet:
… “And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. And he exerciseth all the power of first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men.” (Rev. 13:11-13). (Emphasis added).
… “And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live. And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.” (Rev. 13:14-15). (Emphasis added).
…. “And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom, Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of man; and his number is Six hundred three-score and six.” (Rev. 13:16-18). (Emphasis added).
- Exercises all the demonic power of the antichrist. (Rev. 13:12)
- Causes people on the earth to worship the beast/antichrist. (Rev. 13:12)
- Deceives those on earth by false miracles or wonders, but is only able to do these when the antichrist is present. (Rev. 13:13-14)
- Requires people on earth to build an image of the beast/antichrist. (Rev. 13:14)
- Gives false life to the man-made image enabling it to speak. (Rev. 13:15)
- Forces all people to receive the antichrist’s mark of ownership in their forehead or right hand, forces buying and selling to be contingent upon having this mark. Causes the martyrdom of those not willing to worship the beast or his image. (Rev. 13:15-17)
- Causes people on earth to worship the beast’s image. (Rev. 13:15)
Commentary: The False Prophet is the Antichrist’s ‘right hand’ man, propaganda minister, and #1 religious cheerleader, in an all-in-one package. A yes man of the most evil sort. Adolf Hitler had very similar people operating in this capacity during his evil attempt to enslave the world. The False Prophet will be demonically or satanically inspired to perform the deceit and false miracles that lead the weak-minded and spiritually dead to falsely worship the beast/antichrist. Interestingly, the False Prophet can only conduct these false miracles when he is in sight/proximity to the beast. This indicates that Satan’s power is not omnipresent, but can only be conveyed to a willing participant within close proximity to Satan. Whereas God’s power is unlimited by time and space, Satan’s power is not and is strictly limited. Just as Hitler forced the Jews to take a tattoo or mark of the Star of David, for identification, so too will the beast/antichrist force citizens to take his mark for identification. Additionally, Hitler forced Jews to have a number tattooed on them in concentration camps, for more detailed recognition and identification. Scripture continues to tell us that the Antichrist/Beast will also force the number of his name to be forced onto people. Impossible you say? See my detailed analysis of the Sevenfold Markings by the Beast/Antichrist. The False Prophet is also the ringleader to get men to make a false image(s) of the beast and to have men worship it. Impossible you think? Read my detailed analysis on the Sevenfold Image of the Beast. The False Prophet is the enabler of spiritual fornication on a global, worldwide scale all with the endorsement, approval, sanctioning and blessing from the Beast. Satan gives the False Prophet enough power, through the beast/antichrist, to ensure this satanic abomination is accomplished.
