Commentary: Names and Titles are Capitalized, descriptions are not. Three individual names of God can be joined to form four (4) combinations of names, all properly representing the power, majesty and glory of God. God refers to himself as Lord, seven (7) times. Seven (7) represents God’s divinely determined completeness to his plan or purpose. Lord suggests supreme rulership and authority. His name of God, is repeated seventy (70) times. (7×10=70). Ten (10) represents God’s allness or completeness. This name of God, is the ONLY subject, in all of Revelation, to have seventy (70) references. The combinations of God’s names result in fewer references, but they are all derivatives his three (3) basic names, Lord – God – Almighty. By using these three basis names, God is intensely emphasizing who he is. By arranging them into additional combinations, adds another measure of importance and description as to who He is. The name of Jesus Christ, also shares the same naming characteristics as the Father’s names.

TWENTY-FOUR REFERENCES TO THE LAMB:

1. . . . “And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood A LAMB as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God, sent forth into all the earth.” (Rev. 5:6).

23. . . . “And he showed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of THE LAMB.” (Rev. 22:1).
24. . . . “And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of THE LAMB shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him.” (Rev. 22:3).

Commentary: Lamb is capitalized and therefore another name or title of Jesus Christ. THE FACT THAT THE LAMB IS REFERENCED TWENTY-FOUR (24) TIMES INDICATE THAT HE IS THE FOUNDATION IN GOD’S ABUNDANT OR DOUBLED ORGANIZATIONAL (GOVERNMENT) ARRANGEMENT. HE IS LITERALLY THE CORNER STONE IN THE FOUNDATION OF GOD’S DIVINE ORGANIZATION OF THINGS. FOR THERE TO BE AN ORGANIZATION OF ANYTHING, ON EARTH OR HEAVEN, THERE HAS TO BE A ROCK-STEADY FOUNDATION SUPPORTING A PURPOSE OR PLAN. THERE HAS TO BE FOUNDATIONAL ELEMENT OF STRENGTH AND TRUTH. If the foundation of the organization of a house is poor, weak and not built correctly, the house will fall. The foundation has to be built firm so it does not change or shift under the organizational structure of the house.

The Lamb (Jesus Christ) represents the rock-steady, true and solid foundation of God’s divine organization and the foundation of man’s redemption. God’s organization is built on and around the Lamb. The title and name Lamb is unique because it is also reflects a descriptive term. IT DESCRIBES JESUS CHRIST AS NOT ONLY WHO HE IS, BUT WHAT HE IS! LAMB THEREFORE SERVES A THREEFOLD PURPOSED; IT IS A TITLE OR A NAME, DESCRIBES WHO HE IS, AND DESCRIBES WHAT HE IS.

Twenty-four is the greatest finite number in the mathematics of God. It is the largest representation of anything in God’s abundant or doubled governmental organization. THE NUMBER OF REPETITIVE REFERENCES IMPLIES EXTREME SIGNIFICANCE, IMPORTANCE AND PURPOSE. THE HOLY SPIRIT USES THE TERM LAMB OVER AND OVER AND OVER, TO PROCLAIM THAT JESUS CHRIST DIED, LIKE A LAMB (BLOODY AND SLAUGHTERED), ON A CROSS AND THEN ROSE AGAIN, FOR THE FORGIVENESS OF MANKIND’S SINS.

The Jews had a practice of slaughtering clean, genetically perfect animals to temporarily atone for their sins. Their sins were cast onto these animals, who then were destroyed by burning. JESUS CHRIST WAS THE PERFECT MAN, CLEAN AND SINLESS. HE WAS THE PERFECT HUMAN LAMB. His death and burial were for the eternal (not temporary) forgiveness of all of men’s sins. All of our sins were cast upon the Lamb, while God was sacrificing his son on the cross through the shedding of his blood, instead of the shedding of our blood.

We deserve to die for our sins, Jesus (the Lamb) did not deserve to die since he was sinless. However, in God’s infinite grace and mercy, he allowed his son to take on our sins and carry them from the cross to the grave, for eternity. Through our acceptance of God’s offer of forgiveness through his son Jesus Christ (the Lamb), our sins are forgiven; past, present and future.

Putting this into a little different perspective, but one that should hit home and resonate with you on a personal level. As a parent, you absolutely love your child (son or daughter), of course you do! There is no question about that, for any normal, emotionally healthy parent. Hypothetically speaking, how would you feel if an ISIS terrorist group kidnapped your son or daughter, severely tortured them with whips, nailed them to a tree in public, spit on them, cursed them and mocked them? Blood running down your son or daughter’s legs from the wounds in their hands, head, back and torso. How would you feel, as a parent, knowing that they are slowly dying a painful, horrible, slow death.

 Hypothetically, speaking of course, how would you feel as a parent if the ISIS terrorist group told you that your son or daughter (either of whom is totally innocent) is being slaughtered for some perceived hatred or action of another guilty party. How would you feel knowing that your son or daughter was the scapegoat for an evil payback by the terrorist group as a lesson for those who don’t follow their ideology?

By now, you should have an extremely painful visual image in your head. Now, hypothetically speaking again, imagine how God felt seeing his son, Jesus Christ, in the same excruciatingly painful, deadly predicament as your family member. If he is a living, loving entity (which he is), how do you think he felt having to give up his Holy Son to the Roman authorities, for slaughtering. His son was totally innocent, but was used as a scapegoat or as a Lamb for our sins and transgressions.

 Jesus Christ (the Lamb), didn’t deserve to be tortured and die. There was no logical, rational reason for him to bear all of mankind’s sins for eternity. But, he did so, willingly. As a parent, would you willingly let your son or daughter be literally slaughtered as a result of someone else’s evil actions? God’s love for us transcended the pain he felt from his son’s bloody crucifixion. THE WORK OF THE LAMB IS THE FOUNDATIONAL CORNERSTONE OF GOD’S DIVINE ORGANIZATION FOR THE REDEMPTION OF MAN. THE TWENTY-FOUR REPETITIONS OF ‘LAMB’ ATTEST TO THIS DIVINE MATHEMATICAL FACT.

TWELVE-FOLD REFERENCES TO A HEAVENLY BOOK:

1. . . . “And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the THRONE A BOOK WRITTEN WITHIN AND ON THE BACKSIDE, SEALED WITH SEVEN SEALS.” (Rev. 5:1).
2. . . . “And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to OPEN THE BOOK, and to loose the seals thereof?” (Rev. 5:2).
3. . . . “And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to OPEN THE BOOK, neither to look thereon.” (Rev. 5:3).
4. . . . “And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to READ THE BOOK, neither to look thereon.” (Rev. 5:4).
5. . . . “And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, hath prevailed to OPEN THE BOOK, and to loose the seven seals thereof.” (Rev. 5:5).
6. . . . “And he came and TOOK THE BOOK out of the right hand of him that sat upon the throne.” (Rev. 5:7).
7. . . . “And when he had TAKEN THE BOOK, the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full or odours, which are the prayers of saints.” (Rev. 5:8).
8. . . . “And they sung a new song, saying, Thou are worth to TAKE THE BOOK, AND OPEN THE SEALS thereof: for thou was slain, and has redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation:” (Rev. 5:9).
9. . . . “And he had in his hand A LITTLE BOOK open: and he set his right foot upon the sea, and his left foot on the earth.” (Rev. 10:2).
10. . . . “And the voice which I heard from heaven spake unto me again, and said, Go and take THE LITTLE BOOK which is open in the hand of the angel which standeth upon the sea and upon the earth.” (Rev. 10:8).
11. . . . “And I went unto the angel, and said unto him, Give me THE LITTLE BOOK. And he said unto me, Take it, and eat it up; and it shall make thy belly bitter, but it shall be in thy mouth sweet as honey.” (Rev. 10:9).
12. . . . “And I TOOK THE LITTLE BOOK out of the angel’s hand, and ate it up; and it was in my mouth sweet as honey: and as soon as I had eaten it, my belly was bitter.” (Rev. 10:10).

Commentary: Rev. 5:1-5, 7-9, reference the book of wrath that has the seven seals which Christ is the only one worthy enough to open. Rev. 10:2, 8-10, references a little book of prophecy that “tastes sweet, but when eaten, becomes bitter in the belly”. Both books are prophetic in nature. THE BOOK WHICH CHRIST OPENS IS OBVIOUSLY A SERIES OF PROPHECIES THAT INDICATE THE JUDGEMENTS CHRIST ADMINISTERS TO START THE TRIBULATION. The second book of prophecies handed by a mighty, glorious angel to John is a bit of an enigma. The book could contain prophecies regarding other events in the Tribulation period that we don’t know about, or events that we do know about as stated in the book of Revelation.

 As the book of Revelation is generally considered the largest book in the Bible concerning prophecy, the two heavenly books described above (CHRIST’S BOOK OR ROLE OF SEALS, THE MIGHTY ANGEL’S LITTLE BOOK OF BITTERNESS) ARE TWO PROPHECY BOOKS CONTAINED WITHIN THE PROPHECY OF REVELATION. Prophecies within prophecy. Interestingly, Revelation is chock-full of references to BOOKS BEING USED IN THE ADMINISTRATION OF GOD’S ORDER OF THINGS.

There is also a book of life referenced many places throughout Revelation. EXTREMELY IMPORTANT THINGS IN GOD’S ADMINISTRATION ARE “WRITTEN DOWN IN BOOKS” (OR LEDGERS, IF YOU WANT TO USE AN ACCOUNTING TERM). ULTIMATELY, EVERY CHRISTIAN’S NAME IS WRITTEN DOWN IN THE BOOK OF LIFE. John the Apostle was instructed by the Holy Spirit to ‘write’ down what he saw and/or heard.

The ABCs (7) of Salvation through Jesus Christ (the Lamb)

1. (7) Admit/Acknowledge/Accept that you are sinner. Ask (7) God’s forgiveness and repent of your sins.

. . . “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.” (Romans 3:23).

. . . “As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one.” (Romans 3:10).

. . . “If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.” (1 John 1:8).

B. Believe Jesus is Lord. Believe that (7) Jesus Christ is who He claimed to (7) be; that He was both fully God (7) and fully man and that we are (7) saved through His death, burial, and resurrection. (7) Put your trust in Him as your (7) only hope of salvation. Become a son (7) or daughter of God by receiving Christ. (7777777) 7×7

. . . “That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his son into the world to condemn the world; but have everlasting life. For God sent not his son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. (John 3:15-17). For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” (Romans 10:13).

C. Call upon His name, Confess (7) with your heart and with your lips (7) that Jesus is your Lord and Savior.

. . . “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.” (Romans 10:9-10)

GREAT WHITE THRONE AND ETERNAL JUDGEMENT

SEVEN-FOLD REFERENCE TO LAKE OF FIRE JUDGEMENT

1. “He that hath an ear, let hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; He that overcometh shall not be hurt of THE SECOND DEATH (LAKE OF FIRE).” (Rev. 2:11).
2. “The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he SHALL BE TORMENTED WITH FIRE AND BRIMSTONE in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: 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 whosover receiveth the mark of his name.” (Rev. 14:10-11).
3. “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.” (Rev. 19:20).
4. “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.” (Rev. 20:10).
5. “And death and hell were cast into THE LAKE OF FIRE. THIS IS THE SECOND DEATH.” (Rev. 20:14).
6. “And whosover was not found written in the book of life WAS CAST INTO THE LAKE OF FIRE.” (Rev. 20:15).
7. “But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part IN THE LAKE WHICH BURNETH WITH FIRE AND BRIMSTONE: WHICH IS THE SECOND DEATH.” (Rev. 21:8).

The lake of fire is also known as the ‘second death’. This is the final place of burning, everlasting torment for Satan, the antichrist, the false prophet and those un-saved, un-believing souls from throughout the ages found NOT to be in the book of life, at the white throne judgement, at the end of the Millennium. The lake of fire and second death are also reserved for those deceived during the Tribulation who took the mark of the beast and worshipped him and his image.

 The evil dead are resurrected to be judged by Christ for their evil works and for their rejection of Him who offered himself for their salvation and forgiveness of their sins. As a result of their sins and judgment, they are cast into the lake of fire that represents a second death (the first death being physical body death and souls/spirits being in Hell). The evil dead are resurrected into bodies and cast into the lake of fire to be severely tormented, having no rest day or night, and are absent from a loving God and their Savior who offered himself for them.

THE GREAT IRONY IS THAT THESE PEOPLE RECEIVED EXACTLY WHAT THEY WANTED. THEY REFUSED CHRIST AND WANTED NOTHING TO DO WITH HIM, THEY WANTED TO EXIST IN ETERNITY WITHOUT COMMUNION WITH GOD AND CHRIST, ON THEIR OWN TERMS. THEY LITERALLY RECEIVED WHAT THEY ASKED FOR. THE STENCH OF THEIR PHYSICAL AND EMOTIONAL TORMENT RISES UP IN SMOKE, FOR ETERNITY.

God made both man and angels as eternal beings, hence they will exist forever in one state or another. Which state will any of us choose to exist in? The choice is up to us, and God grants us the freedom to make that choice for ourselves. For better or worse, we have no one to blame (certainly not God) except ourselves for whatever choices we make on earth.

MOST PEOPLE DON’T REALISE THIS UNTILL IT’S TOO LATE: STANDING AT THE JUDGMENT SEAT OF CHRIST

MACRON WILL BEGIN 3-DAY OFFICIAL SAUDI VISIT ON MONDAY

December 01, 2024 Saudi Gazette

RIYADH — French President Emmanuel Macron will travel to Saudi Arabia on Monday, Dec. 2, for a three-day official visit. THIS IS IN RESPONSE TO AN INVITATION FROM SAUDI CROWN PRINCE AND PRIME MINISTER MOHAMMED BIN SALMAN.

The Elysee Palace sources described Macron’s third visit to Saudi Arabia as “EXCEPTIONAL” STATE VISIT AT THE HIGHEST DIPLOMATIC LEVEL, REFLECTING THE QUALITY OF THE RELATIONS BETWEEN THE TWO COUNTRIES, ESPECIALLY THE SPECIAL AND PERSONAL RELATIONS BETWEEN THE FRENCH PRESIDENT AND THE SAUDI CROWN PRINCE.  The visit, according to Paris, COMES AT A “CRUCIAL MOMENT” AS BOTH PARTIES ARE SEEKING TO ELEVATE THEM TO THE LEVEL OF “STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIP” THAT WILL BE FORMALLY ANNOUNCED DURING THE VISIT.

Elysee sources said that this development, in its political aspect, will allow for “the manifestation of a common and renewed ambition” for the next ten years that will be based on a joint action plan. They also stressed that the visit comes “WHILE SAUDI ARABIA, AT THE BEHEST OF THE CROWN PRINCE, IS ENGAGED IN A PROCESS OF ECONOMIC TRANSFORMATION AND OPENNESS.” THEREFORE, IT PROVIDES AN OPPORTUNITY FOR FRANCE TO AFFIRM “ITS SUPPORT FOR THE EMERGING DYNAMIC, AND TO CONFIRM ITS DESIRE TO CONTRIBUTE TO IT,” INCLUDING THE GIGA PROJECTS LAUNCHED BY RIYADH WITHIN THE FRAMEWORK OF “VISION 2030.”

THE CROWN PRINCE AND MACRON ALSO OVERSAW THE SIGNING OF A MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING TO ESTABLISH A STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIP COUNCIL BETWEEN THE TWO NATIONS.

Arriving in Riyadh on Monday evening, Macron was welcomed with an official ceremony. THE ELYSEE PALACE HAS DUBBED THE DEC. 2-4 VISIT “EXCEPTIONAL,” SIGNALING THE STRATEGIC IMPORTANCE THE FRENCH GOVERNMENT ASCRIBES TO FRANCO-SAUDI RELATIONS.

It is the latest of several high-profile exchanges between the two nations, building upon the CROWN PRINCE’S VISIT TO FRANCE IN APRIL 2018, WHICH LAID THE FOUNDATION FOR A NEW ERA IN BILATERAL RELATIONS, MACRON’S GULF TOUR IN DECEMBER 2021, WHICH CONCLUDED IN JEDDAH, AND THE CROWN PRINCE’S RETURN TO PARIS IN JUNE 2023.

ACCORDING TO THE ELYSEE, MACRON WILL FIRST PARTICIPATE IN EXPANDED BILATERAL TALKS AIMED AT IMPLEMENTING A NEW STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIP FRAMEWORK. THESE DISCUSSIONS WILL ESTABLISH JOINT SECTORAL COMMITTEES BETWEEN THE TWO GOVERNMENTS.

HE WILL THEN HOLD PRIVATE TALKS WITH THE CROWN PRINCE, followed by a working dinner bringing together both leaders and associated government officials from both countries. THE TWO LEADERS ARE EXPECTED TO FOCUS ON FORGING JOINT DIPLOMATIC INITIATIVES TO ADDRESS MOUNTING REGIONAL TENSIONS.

Lebanon will take center stage in the talks, reflecting bOTH NATIONS’ LONGSTANDING INFLUENCE IN THE COUNTRY’S AFFAIRS. “Both France and Saudi Arabia have historically played crucial roles in supporting Lebanon,” a diplomatic source noted. According to the Elysee, the leaders will explore joint initiatives to bolster the ceasefire agreed last week between Israel and the Iran-backed Hezbollah militia and to address Lebanon’s long-running political deadlock.

“We aim to chart a path forward together — not only to secure a presidential election but also to establish a framework for implementing essential reforms demanded by both the Lebanese people and the international community,” the source added.

Building on commitments made during Macron’s December 2021 visit to Riyadh, THE TWO GOVERNMENTS HAVE ESTABLISHED A JOINT HUMANITARIAN FUND targeting Lebanon’s pressing needs, so as to help the Lebanese population navigate through multiple, overlapping crises. The Gaza conflict will be another critical focus of discussions. Since the Oct. 7, 2023 Hamas-led attack on southern Israel, the Palestinian territory has come under intense Israeli bombardment, leading to one of the world’s worst humanitarian crises.

French officials have noted Riyadh’s prominent role in diplomatic efforts to end the conflict between Israel and Hamas, PARTICIPATING IN TALKS WITH FRENCH COUNTERPARTS AND LEADING A CONTACT GROUP THROUGH THE ARAB LEAGUE AND ORGANIZATION OF ISLAMIC COOPERATION.

“Both nations share common ground on Gaza,” an Elysee spokesperson said. “We are aligned in our urgent call for an immediate ceasefire in the region.” The talks will also encompass broader regional security concerns, according to French officials. “Syrian developments must be addressed given their impact on regional stability,” the Elysee said, highlighting that discussions will also focus on monitoring Iranian arms shipments to Hezbollah via Syrian regime-controlled territory.

Beyond foreign policy matters, Tuesday’s agenda will focus on economic and environmental initiatives. Macron will tour Riyadh’s newly inaugurated elevated metro system, which features significant French technical involvement.

SAUDI-FRENCH COOPERATION IS ALREADY EXPANDING INTO PREVIOUSLY UNEXPLORED OR UNDERDEVELOPED SECTORS, SPANNING TOURISM, FINTECH, CYBERSECURITY, RENEWABLE ENERGY, TELECOMMUNICATIONS, SPACE TECHNOLOGY AND ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE. MACRON WILL JOIN WORLD LEADERS AT THE ONE PLANET SUMMIT’S PLENARY SESSION, WHERE SOVEREIGN WEALTH FUNDS WILL CONVENE TO DISCUSS CLIMATE INITIATIVES. He will co-chair talks with Yasir Al-Rumayyan, governor of Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund.

Afterward, Macron will visit the UNESCO World Heritage site of At-Turaif in Diriyah on the outskirts of Riyadh, where he will share a lunch with Saudi Minister of Culture Prince Badr bin Abdullah bin Farhan, in the presence of his counterpart Rachida Dati and various French and Saudi cultural sector representatives.

The day will continue with Macron attending the Saudi-French Economic Forum, where he will review key outcomes before joining the One Water Summit. The summit, co-chaired by the Saudi crown prince and Kazakh President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, will bring together world leaders to tackle pressing water challenges.

During the summit, leaders will participate in a series of roundtable discussions exploring water security, resource management, and their broader implications for global politics and economics. Macron’s visit also coincides with SAUDI ARABIA HOSTING COP16, A GLOBAL PLATFORM ADDRESSING DESERTIFICATION UNDER THE THEME “OUR LAND. OUR FUTURE.”

Cultural ties will take center stage on Wednesday at the historic AlUla archaeological site in northwestern Saudi Arabia, where Macron will travel with a delegation of cultural officials. AlUla stands as an example of Saudi-French partnership, showcasing COLLABORATIVE EXPERTISE IN CULTURE, ARCHAEOLOGY, CONSTRUCTION, TOURISM AND HOSPITALITY. The state visit will conclude with Macron presiding over the groundbreaking of Villa Hegra, a new cultural hub designed to foster artistic collaboration between France and Saudi Arabia.This symbolic project, establishing a dedicated artists’ residence, will mark a poignant final event of Macron’s THREE-DAY DIPLOMATIC MISSION.

SHARED VISION MEETS AMBITION AS FRENCH PRESIDENT MACRON BEGINS SAUDI ARABIA STATE VISIT

Updated 1 min 41 sec ago Zeina Zbibo December 02, 202412:08

RIYADH: French President Emmanuel Macron’s arrival in Riyadh for a three-day state visit is a testament to the DEEPENING TIES BETWEEN FRANCE AND SAUDI ARABIA. HIS VISIT, WHICH FOLLOWS AN INVITATION FROM CROWN PRINCE MOHAMMED BIN SALMAN, REFLECTS THE SHARED AMBITION TO ENHANCE COOPERATION ACROSS VARIOUS SECTORS AND TO ALIGN WITH SAUDI VISION 2030 AND FRANCE 2030.

THE STATE VISIT UNDERSCORES A PARTNERSHIP ROOTED IN MUTUAL RESPECT AND LONG-TERM COLLABORATION. IT IS THE LATEST OF SEVERAL HIGH-PROFILE EXCHANGES, INCLUDING MACRON’S GULF TOUR IN DECEMBER 2021, WHICH CONCLUDED IN JEDDAH, AND CROWN PRINCE MOHAMMED BIN SALMAN’S VISIT TO PARIS IN JUNE 2023, ACCOMPANIED BY A MINISTERIAL DELEGATION. THESE MEETINGS SET THE STAGE FOR FRANCE’S ENDORSEMENT OF SAUDI ARABIA’S SUCCESSFUL BID TO HOST EXPO 2030, MARKING A MILESTONE IN BILATERAL RELATIONS.

Macron’s schedule includes high-level meetings, a visit to Riyadh Metro, the Saudi-French Economic Forum and cultural stops in Diriyah and AlUla. Elysee Palace views SAUDI ARABIA’S ONGOING MODERNIZATION AND REFORMS AS VITAL TO THE STRENGTHENING OF THE KINGDOM’S POSITION AS A CENTRAL PLAYER IN A MORE INTERCONNECTED MIDDLE EAST. ACCORDINGLY, IT SUPPORTS SAUDI BIDS FOR MAJOR GLOBAL EVENTS, SUCH AS HOSTING EXPO 2030, 2034 FOOTBALL WORLD CUP AND WINTER OLYMPICS, CONSIDERING THEM AS OPPORTUNITIES FOR DEEPER COOPERATION.

The historical relationship between the two nations predates the Kingdom’s establishment. France opened its first consulate in 1830 in Jeddah in a part of the Arabian Peninsula that would later emerge as the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. It was also one of the first countries to recognize Saudi Arabia as a sovereign state in 1926. NEARLY A CENTURY LATER, THE TWO COUNTRIES SHARE COMMON VALUES IN INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS, INCLUDING SOVEREIGNTY, NON-INTERFERENCE AND RESPECT FOR INTERNATIONAL LAW.

THIS PARTNERSHIP HAS EVOLVED TO ADDRESS CONTEMPORARY CHALLENGES. AT THE SUMMIT FOR A NEW GLOBAL FINANCIAL COMPACT IN JUNE 2023, SAUDI ARABIA AND FRANCE EMPHASIZED THE NEED FOR AN INCLUSIVE FINANCIAL SYSTEM TO COMBAT INEQUALITY, FUND GREEN TRANSITIONS AND ACHIEVE THE UN SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS. THEIR SHARED VISION HIGHLIGHTS THE ALIGNMENT OF PRIORITIES BETWEEN THE TWO LEADERS, UNITED IN THEIR COMMITMENT TO DEVELOPMENT AND INNOVATION.

Through the centuries, France has positioned itself as a global power in defense, energy, engineering, diplomacy, art and culture. But modern France is also undergoing a transformation aimed at adapting its economy to new emerging industries, collectively termed the FOURTH INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION, empowering its youth, and addressing climate-related challenges.

THIS TRANSFORMATION INTO A GREENER, MORE TECHNOLOGY-DRIVEN ECONOMY ALIGNS WITH SAUDI ARABIA’S AMBITIONS UNDER VISION 2030. Both countries have prioritized clean energy, with Saudi Arabia emerging as a significant player in renewable energy. Its investments in solar, wind, and hydro projects are matched by its leadership in the circular carbon economy, ALL KEY PILLARS OF ITS SAUDI GREEN AND MIDDLE EAST GREEN INITIATIVES. THESE INITIATIVES RESONATE WITH FRANCE’S OWN CLIMATE GOALS, FOSTERING A NATURAL SYNERGY BETWEEN THE TWO NATIONS.

ECONOMIC COLLABORATION CONTINUES TO FLOURISH. FRENCH COMPANIES ARE INTEGRAL TO THE KINGDOM’S ECONOMIC DIVERSIFICATION EFFORTS, spanning sectors such as energy, healthcare, retail and tourism. Organizations like Business France and the Saudi-French Business Council play pivotal roles in facilitating trade and investment. Initiatives like Vision Golfe, an annual gathering of French and Gulf Cooperation Council ministers, entrepreneurs and executives, further cement this partnership through dialogue and innovation by offering a platform to PROMOTE BUSINESS COOPERATION IN MARKETS WITH HIGH GROWTH POTENTIAL.

SECURITY AND STABILITY REMAIN CENTRAL TO THIS RELATIONSHIP, particularly in addressing global challenges such as the Ukraine conflict. France has sought Saudi support in navigating the war’s human and economic repercussions and its impact on global supply chains. Energy security has also emerged as a focal point, with Saudi Arabia supplying hydrocarbons to Europe while advancing its role as a clean energy provider and one of the world’s biggest investors in renewables like solar, wind and hydro.

Saudi Arabia’s investments in renewable energy resources are part of a broader environmental strategy, being IMPLEMENTED AS PART OF VISION 2030, SAUDI GREEN INITIATIVE AND MIDDLE EAST GREEN INITIATIVE, AS WELL AS THE KINGDOM’S ADOPTION OF THE CIRCULAR CARBON ECONOMY

REGIONAL DEVELOPMENTS WILL ALSO LIKELY FIGURE PROMINENTLY IN THE DISCUSSIONS DURING MACRON’S VISIT, particularly regarding Lebanon, which remains without a president after more than two years of political paralysis. PARTNERSHIP AND CONSULTATION WITH SAUDI ARABIA ARE VIEWED BY FRANCE AS CRUCIAL TO RESTORING ORDER to the chaos in Lebanon.

With regard to the Israel-Palestine conflict, ELYSEE PALACE IS PUSHING FOR a ceasefire, release of hostages and humanitarian protections in Gaza. To this end, it has emphasized THE IMPORTANCE OF SAUDI CONTRIBUTIONS THROUGH THE ARAB LEAGUE AND THE ORGANIZATION OF ISLAMIC COOPERATION TO ADVANCE A TWO-STATE SOLUTION FOR PALESTINE.

In addition to these pressing issues, Macron’s visit coincides with Saudi Arabia hosting COP16, a global platform addressing desertification under the theme “Our Land. Our Future.” Alongside this, he will attend the One Water Summit, co-chaired by France and Kazakhstan, which AIMS TO ADDRESS WATER RESOURCE MANAGEMENT CHALLENGES IN THE FACE OF CLIMATE CHANGE. THESE EVENTS UNDERSCORE THE COMMITMENT OF BOTH NATIONS TO ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY, A CORNERSTONE OF THEIR PARTNERSHIP.

The relationship between Saudi Arabia and France is of course not limited to defense, business and energy transition. CULTURAL COLLABORATION ALSO FORMS A SIGNIFICANT PART OF THE FRANCO-SAUDI RELATIONSHIP. SAUDI ARABIA’S RICH HERITAGE, FROM ALULA TO DIRIYAH AND THE SARAWAT MOUNTAINS, OFFERS A CANVAS FOR JOINT INITIATIVES. AT THE HEART OF THIS IS VILLA HEGRA, A CULTURAL INSTITUTION IN ALULA, THE ANCIENT SAUDI CITY, ESTABLISHED THROUGH AN INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT IN 2021.

Villa Hegra was officially established following an intergovernmental agreement signed on Dec. 4, 2021, by Saudi Arabia’s Minister of Culture Prince Badr bin Abdullah bin Farhan Al-Saud and Jean-Yves Le Drian, the then French minister of foreign affairs and current president of Afalula, THE FRENCH AGENCY FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF ALAULA. Villa Hegra serves as an incubator for artists and creators, fostering dialogue and collaboration while exploring the SOCIO-ECONOMIC IMPACT OF CULTURAL PROJECTS ON LOCAL COMMUNITIES.

The duality of Villa Hegra, BLENDING SAUDI AND FRENCH INFLUENCES, MIRRORS THE BROADER PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN THE TWO NATIONS. Macron’s anticipated visit to AlUla will UNDERSCORE THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THESE CULTURAL TIES and highlight Saudi Arabia’s emergence as a regional hub for art and heritage. This emphasis on culture complements the Kingdom’s efforts to diversify its economy, attract global talent and position itself as a tourism and investment destination.

AMID THESE DEVELOPMENTS, THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN FRANCE AND SAUDI ARABIA REMAINS FIRMLY ANCHORED IN MUTUAL RESPECT AND SHARED GOALS. MACRON’S VISIT OFFERS AN OPPORTUNITY TO BUILD ON A FOUNDATION THAT SPANS NEARLY TWO CENTURIES, REINFORCING PARTNERSHIPS IN DEFENSE, ENERGY, CULTURE AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. THE DISCUSSIONS IN RIYADH WILL LIKELY SET THE TONE FOR FUTURE COLLABORATIONS, AS BOTH NATIONS CONTINUE TO NAVIGATE A RAPIDLY CHANGING GLOBAL LANDSCAPE.

After Macron concludes his stay, the focus will shift to the outcomes of this visit, particularly in areas like ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE, FINTECH AND CYBERSECURITY. France’s upcoming AI Action Summit in February 2025 presents another opportunity to align technological ambitions, ensuring that the partnership remains dynamic and forward-looking. Whether in ADDRESSING GLOBAL CHALLENGES OR CELEBRATING SHARED HERITAGE, THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN FRANCE AND SAUDI ARABIA STANDS AS A TESTAMENT TO THE ENDURING POWER OF COLLABORATION.

HOW SAUDI ARABIA AND FRANCE ALIGNED NATIONAL VISIONS FOR PROSPERITY AT RIYADH INVESTMENT FORUM

Updated 19 sec ago Zeina Zbibo December 03, 202422:15

RIYADH: THE SAUDI-FRENCH INVESTMENT FORUM THAT TOOK PLACE IN RIYADH ON TUESDAY MARKED AN IMPORTANT MILESTONE IN BILATERAL RELATIONS, WITH THE SIGNING OF MULTIPLE MEMORANDUMS OF UNDERSTANDING AND INVESTMENT AGREEMENTS WORTH BILLIONS OF DOLLARS.

Held to coincide with THE STATE VISIT OF FRENCH PRESIDENT EMMANUEL MACRON, THE EVENT BROUGHT TOGETHER OFFICIALS, POLICYMAKERS, AND BUSINESS LEADERS FROM BOTH NATIONS, AIMING TO ALIGN THEIR NATIONAL VISIONS FOR A PROSPEROUS FUTURE.

In his opening remarks, Saudi Minister of Investment Khalid Al-Falih welcomed French stakeholders, EMPHASIZING THE STRONG TIES BETWEEN THE TWO COUNTRIES. He lauded Macron as a “good friend of the Kingdom, leading a strong delegation.”  

Al-Falih highlighted THE ENDURING ECONOMIC PARTNERSHIP, THE BREADTH OF SECTORS COVERED, AND THE PRESENCE OF FRENCH COMPANIES IN SAUDI ARABIA. “EVERY TIME THERE IS AN EVENT INVOLVING SAUDI ARABIA AND FRANCE, THERE IS A SPECIAL MAGIC AND ATTRACTION,” HE SAID, NOTING FRANCE’S EARLY SUPPORT FOR RIYADH’S BID TO HOST EXPO 2030.

Among the agreements signed were collaborations with French oil giant TotalEnergies and Al Jumeih Energy and Water for the Rabigh 2 solar power plant. Additionally, power purchase agreements for the Al Masa’a and Al Hnakia 2 solar projects involved EDF, SPIC, and the Saudi Power Procurement Company.  

Another major deal involved the Public Investment Fund, Saudi Investment Recycling Company (SIRC), and Veolia, focusing on waste management and recycling initiatives in the Kingdom.  

In his own remarks at the Forum, Macron highlighted opportunities for collaboration in clean energy, mobility, technology, culture, and artificial intelligence, NOTING THE SYNERGY BETWEEN SAUDI VISION 2030 AND FRANCE 2030. “For all the French business-people and investors, I want to encourage them to invest more in this country because INVESTING HERE IS INVESTING IN THE CORNERSTONE OF THE WHOLE REGION,” he said.

The Saudi-French Investment Forum brought together officials, policymakers, and business leaders from both nations, aiming to align their national visions for a prosperous future. (AN Photo) On Monday, Macron and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman signed a strategic partnership aimed at BOOSTING COOPERATION IN DEFENSE, ENERGY, AND AI. 

THE PARTNERSHIP AIMS AT “MULTIPLYING CO-OPERATION AND CONCRETE ACHIEVEMENTS IN ALL AREAS,” the Elesee Palace said in a statement. It also includes plans to CO-HOST A SUMMIT FOR ACTION ON AI IN PARIS in February, according to the Elysee.

Tuesday’s Forum built on a long history of cooperation, highlighted by reciprocal delegations at major events like VIVATECH IN PARIS AND SAUDI ARABIA’S LEAP CONFERENCE. AL-FALIH EMPHASIZED THE SHARED HISTORY, VALUES, AND MUTUAL RESPECT UNDERPINNING THE PARTNERSHIP.

“Saudis love anything French — French design, French furniture, French technology,” he said.  

Al-Falih noted that Saudi Arabia, the Gulf Cooperation Council’s fastest-growing economy, achieved 3 billion euros in French investment in 2023. France is the Kingdom’s second-largest foreign investor. “We are ahead of targets in overall investment, and (France) was a significant part in achieving our targets,” said Al-Falih.

“The value of our trade relations exceeded 10 billion euros last year; and with roughly 3 billion euros of French investment into the Kingdom in 2023, and the nation’s accumulated foreign direct investment in Saudi Arabia reached 17 billion euros.” He added: “We are proud to be hosting in Saudi Arabia close to 500 LEADING FRENCH COMPANIES. Significantly, around 30 OF THESE COMPANIES HAVE ESTABLISHED THEIR REGIONAL HEADQUARTERS HERE IN RIYADH BECAUSE THEIR TARGET IS NOT JUST THE SAUDI MARKET BUT TO USE SAUDI ARABIA AS A PLATFORM TO REACH FURTHER BEYOND.

“We stand today as the world is changing so fast in a new era of partnership. There is alignment of our interests and complementarity in our capabilities. And WE ALSO HAVE SHARED WORLDVIEWS THAT ARE LIFTING THIS PARTNERSHIP TO A NEW HEIGHT, CULMINATING IN THE SIGNING OF OUR STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIP.”

GREEN ENERGY WAS A CENTRAL THEME, WITH AGREEMENTS SUPPORTING RENEWABLE ENERGY PROJECTS AND EMPHASIZING SUSTAINABILITY’S ROLE IN ECONOMIC GROWTH. French biopharma leader Sanofi also signed agreements to expand its healthcare projects in Saudi Arabia.  

French expertise continues to play a significant role in Saudi Arabia’s development, from Riyadh Metro to the innovative tram systems in AlUla. The historic region, home to Saudi Arabia’s cherished heritage sites, is set to welcome Macron on Wednesday, reflecting ongoing cultural cooperation led by the French Agency for AlUla Development (Afalula).

French experts have been deeply involved with development in the historic region of northwestern Saudi Arabia. “Sharaan” by Jean Nouvel and Villa Hegra by Lacaton and Vassal are just two examples of cultural and heritage cooperation. Tuesday’s Forum hosted SIX PANELS, FEATURING 50 KEYNOTE SPEAKERS, and facilitated HUNDREDS OF BILATERAL MEETINGS. THEMES INCLUDED (5)  NET-ZERO POLICIES, URBANIZATION, TECHNOLOGY, ENTERTAINMENT, AND FOSTERING INNOVATION.

French Minister Delegate for Industry Marc Ferracci underscored THE FORUM’S IMPORTANCE IN STRENGTHENING TIES AMID SAUDI ARABIA’S UNPRECEDENTED TRANSFORMATION. “The Kingdom is undergoing one of the biggest transformations in recent history,” Ferracci told the Forum. “And as the second largest investor in the Kingdom, France supports the Kingdom in different sectors.

“SAUDI VISION 2030 AND FRANCE 2030 ARE TRANSFORMATIVE BLUEPRINTS DESIGNED TO TACKLE THE CHALLENGES OF OUR TIME, CREATING SUSTAINABLE GROWTH FOR THE FUTURE, AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF SMART INCLUSIVE CITIES,” he added. THE OBJECTIVES OF FRANCE’S NATIONAL VISION INCLUDE ACHIEVING CARBON NEUTRALITY AND COOPERATION ON GREEN ENERGY.

Ferracci added that FRANCE VIEWS SAUDI ARABIA AS A VITAL PARTNER, EMPHASIZING SHARED GOALS OF CARBON NEUTRALITY AND INNOVATION. “THE FORUM IS A TESTAMENT TO OUR ECONOMIC RELATIONSHIP AND AN OPPORTUNITY TO SHAPE THE FUTURE OF OUR PARTNERSHIP,” he said.  

Macron was received at Al-Yamamah Palace in Riyadh by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman on Monday.

THE FRENCH ECONOMY IS VIEWED AS A GATEWAY, OFFERING ACCESS TO THE WIDER EUROPEAN MARKET, MAKING IT AN ATTRACTIVE INVESTMENT DESTINATION.

“The relationship between Saudi Arabia and France is not new, rather dates back to centuries not decades,” Prince Faisal bin Abdulaziz bin Ayyaf, the mayor of Riyadh, told the Forum.

He highlighted historical milestones, including the meeting between Saudi King Faisal and French President Charles de Gaulle in 1967, which marked the debut of stronger ties, evolving through personal contacts and visits at the highest levels.

King Khalid visited France in 1978 and 1981, and King Fahd visited twice when he was crown prince, in 1975 and 1981.

“SAUDI ARABIA’S VISION 2030 REPRESENTS AN AMBITIOUS ROADMAP TOWARDS A MORE PROSPEROUS AND SUSTAINABLE FUTURE,” said Prince Faisal.  “Riyadh, as the capital of the Kingdom, plays a pivotal role in achieving that Vision. The city is undergoing an unprecedented economic developmental transformation. The city today stands as a workshop … the future is greater than what we can imagine.”

Prince Faisal highlighted the examples of King Salman Park, which aspires to be the largest urban park in the world, and NEW MURRABBAA, WHICH IS SET TO BECOME THE WORLD’S LARGEST URBAN DEVELOPMENT. “IT’S NOT OUR JOURNEY ALONE,” SAID PRINCE FAISAL. “WE INVITE EVERYONE TO JOIN.”

A BIBLICAL BOTTOMLESS PIT OF EVIL: SEVEN SAUDI KINGS AND THE BEAST

HOW FRENCH AND SAUDI ARCHITECTS ARE REDESIGNING THE CITIES OF TOMORROW

Updated 2 min 45 sec ago Zeina Zbibo December 03, 202413:34

RIYADH: Saudi Arabia today is synonymous with megaprojects. Since the launch of the VISION 2030 REFORM AGENDA, the Kingdom has rolled out a range of major infrastructure projects, spanning everything from education and healthcare, to tourism and public transport.

Last week, a new milestone was reached when King Salman inaugurated the Riyadh Metro — just one of the SIGNIFICANT PROJECTS LAUNCHED UNDER THE VISION 2030 FRAMEWORK. With demand for public transport on the rise, the new metro, which features six lines and 85 stations spread along 176 kms of track, will boost connectivity. Future extensions are already in the works, as the city builds new economic, tech, and cultural infrastructure.

French companies are part of this expansion. Indeed, French engineering and consulting firm Setec Group is working on the development of metro lines, among other projects, including King Salman Park.

Setec Group has a track record of working on iconic buildings, high-rise tower projects, and light rail transit developments. It is among several companies associated with the non-profit French Architects for Export (AFEX) exploring the potential for STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIPS IN LINE WITH VISION 2030.

Saudi Arabia’s investment in megaprojects, infrastructure, urban planning, and landscape design aims to fuel its growth potential and increase its attractiveness in terms of (5) FOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENT, TOURISM, HOSPITALITY, RECREATION, AND SPORTS.

THE OPPORTUNITIES FOR FRENCH AND SAUDI COLLABORATIONS ARE IMMENSE, AS VISION 2030 POSITIONS RIYADH AS ONE OF THE MOST ATTRACTIVE INVESTMENT DESTINATIONS IN THE WORLD.

The Ministry of Municipal and Rural Affairs and Housing (MOMRA) has become an active player in creating vibrant communities that reconcile tradition and modernity, growth, and sustainability.  The objective is to create a space that encourages community living and smart mobility under MOMRA 2.0, preserving the history and identity of the Kingdom’s cities, while working closely with municipalities to ensure implementation.

“THE IMPLEMENTATION AND THE CONCRETIZATION OF VISION 2030 IS STRIKING,” Reda Amalou, AFEX’s president, said during a recent visit to Riyadh along with a delegation of French architects. “CROWN PRINCE MOHAMMED BIN SALMAN OPENED THE ECONOMY TO THE WORLD WHILE PRESERVING THE COUNTRY’S TRADITION.”

Across these megaprojects emerges the need to REDESIGN CITIES WITH A MINIMAL FOOTPRINT, WITH HYPER-CONNECTIVITY AND PROXIMITY, AND INVISIBLE INFRASTRUCTURE, ENABLING ACCESS TO SERVICES FOR A GROWING POPULATION. RIYADH, A CITY RECONCILING HERITAGE AND MODERNITY, OFFERS A DIVERSE SPECTRUM OF OPPORTUNITIES FOR FRENCH ARCHITECTS TO SHARE THEIR EXPERTISE, AND CONTRIBUTE TO THE REALIZATION OF VISION 2030.

MARK OF THE BEAST: INFRARED QR CODE, MICRONEEDLE VACCINATION SMART PATCH MARK

WOMAN’S DIED & JESUS REVEALED THE TRUTH ABOUT THE MARK OF THE BEAST

THE PRINCE, BEAST, ANTICHRIST BEHEADS THE TRIBULATION SAINTS BY A SWORD WHO DON’T TAKE HIS VACCINATION MARK

666: MATHEMATICALLY COUNT THE NUMBER OF THE BEAST

1. WORSHIP THE BEAST. (6X). (Rev. 13:4, 13:8, 13:12, 14:9, 14:11, 20.4)
2. WORSHIP THE BEAST’S IMAGE. (6X). (Rev. 13:14, 13:15, 14:9, 14:11, 16:2, 19:20)
3. TAKE THE BEAST’S MARK. (6X). (Rev. 13:16, 13:17, 14:9, 14:11, 16:2, 19:20)
4. Take the beast’s number. (2X). (Rev. 13:17, 13:18)
5. Take the beast’s name. (2X). (Rev. 13:17, 14:11)

Commentary: THERE ARE A TOTAL OF EIGHTEEN (18) VERSES THAT INDICATE THE ETERNAL SINS OF DAMNATION THAT RESULT FROM WORSHIPPING THE BEAST, WORSHIPPING HIS IMAGE AND TAKING HIS MARK OF IDENTIFICATION. THREE (3) DENOTES GOD’S EMPHASIS AND INTENSITY. SIX (6) DENOTES THE EVIL NUMBER OF MAN = 18, OR 6+6+6 = 18, OR 666 . . . “HERE IS WISDOM. LET HIM THAT HATH UNDERSTANDING COUNT THE NUMBER OF THE BEAST: FOR IT IS HE NUMBER OF A MAN; AND HIS NUMBER IS SIX HUNDRED AND THREESCORE AND SIX (666).” (REV. 13:18). WORSHIPPING THE BEAST, HIS IMAGE AND TAKING HIS MARK ARE THE ETERNAL SINS THAT MEN COMMIT DURING THE TRIBULATION.

*******

IN NUMEROLOGY, GEMATRIA (/ɡəˈmeɪtriə/; Hebrew: גמטריא or גימטריה, gimatria, plural גמטראות or גימטריות, gimatriot) is THE PRACTICE OF ASSIGNING A NUMERICAL VALUE TO A NAME, WORD OR PHRASE BY READING IT AS A NUMBER, OR SOMETIMES BY USING AN ALPHANUMERICAL CIPHER.

In the Textus Receptus manuscripts of the New Testament, the Book of Revelation (13:17–18) cryptically asserts 666 to be “the man’s number” or “the number of a man” (depending on how the text is translated) associated with the Beast, AN ANTAGONISTIC CREATURE THAT APPEARS BRIEFLY ABOUT 66.6% INTO THE APOCALYPTIC VISION. Some manuscripts[which?] of the original Koine Greek use the symbols χξϛ chi xi stigma (or χξϝ with a digamma), while other manuscripts spell out the number in words.

*******

THERE ARE A TOTAL OF TEN (10) COMBINED REFERENCES OF EVIL MEN TAKING THE BEAST’S MARK, NUMBER OR NAME. These three descriptions are synonymous with being identified with (or belonging) to the beast and his system. Ten (10) denotes God’s allness or physical completeness regarding things on earth. These ten references indicate man’s complete earthly evilness and damnation resulting from taking either the mark, number or name of the beast and his kingdom.

These men are so deceived and evil, that they not only allow themselves to worship the beast and his fake image, but they allow themselves to be physically ‘branded’ or marked in order to be identified with the beast. Evil men obtain this mark, number or name so they can also participate in the global economy in terms of buying and selling. They have to be identified as having this mark, number or name, physically evident on either their right hand or forehead, in order to be allowed to execute a purchasing or selling transaction. Once evil men worship the beast, his image and take his mark (or number, name), they are damned.

There are three verses regarding a very specific, powerful and clear angelic warning given to men on earth, to NOT worship the beast, or his image, or take his mark (name, number). THREE (3) DENOTES GOD’S EMPHASIS AND INTENSITY.

. . . “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, The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb. 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. 14:9, 14:10, 14:11)

Twice (2) the message is directed at men. The angel repeats himself indicating that the message is for men and what behavior is judged eternally sinful (for ever and ever). Men who worship the beast, his image and take his mark will;

1. Experience God’s wrath.
2. God’s wrath will not be diluted, or held back, but given in full strength.
3. They will be thrown into the lake of fire and brimstone for torment.
4. There torment will be forever and ever (eternity).
5. Their torment will be witnessed by holy angels.
6. Their torment will take place in the presence of the Lamb.
7. They will have no rest day or night, forever and ever (eternity).

THERE ARE SEVEN (7) SPECIFIC RESULTS THAT STEM FROM MEN WORSHIPPING THE BEAST, HIS IMAGE AND TAKING HIS MARK (NAME OR NUMBER). SEVEN (7) DENOTES GOD’S DIVINELY DETERMINED COMPLETENESS AS TO HIS PURPOSE OR PLAN. Eternal punishment in the lake of fire and brimstone, day and night is the strongest wrath that God gives evil men (and Satan, beast/antichrist and false prophet). There is a specific mention that this torment takes place in the presence of the Lamb. These men, while in their torment, will see or consciously be aware of the existence of Jesus Christ. This will provide added pain, anguish and misery since they will be painfully made aware of the choice of their decisions (to worship the beast, his image and take his mark). They were warned not to do what they did.

The Bible gives plenty of examples of the glory that is given to those who did NOT worship the beast, his image or take his mark. Yet, despite the angelic warning . . . despite the 3 ½ year testimony of two witness and prophets . . . despite the witnessing of Tribulation Saints . . . despite the flying angel who proclaimed the gospel of Jesus Christ . . . evil men still chose to worship the beast, his image and to take his mark, name or number.

They chose to ignore the messages, the warnings, and the testimonies. And now, they are in the lake of fire and brimstone, and will have to pay the price for their evil decision(s), for eternity. They see Jesus Christ, and have become painfully aware of what they could have had through Jesus Christ and instead, they chose the false, empty promises of Satan by worshipping the beast, his image and taking his mark, name or number.

Their extreme bitterness and woeful regret will emotionally torment them for eternity, in addition to the physical pain, suffering and torment that they will experience in the lake of fire for eternity. Through their decision to follow Satan, God gave them exactly what they wanted. They did not want anything to do with Jesus Christ, who paid for their sins with his own blood. As such, God gave them over to Satan, since it was their free decision or choice, and what they desired while they were physically alive on earth.

These evil men did everything humanly possible to ignore warnings, to blaspheme God, to ignore the gospel of Jesus Christ, and instead they accepted and believed in lies, worshipped Satan, the beast and his image. Evil men even went so far as to physically defile their bodies (flesh) by taking the branding (mark, number or name) of the beast. All of these actions and behaviors enabled evil men to give themselves totally and wholeheartedly over to Satan through his system of the beast/antichrist and the false prophet.

There are two visions describing what John the Apostle saw, regarding men who were overcomers (them that had gotten victory) by NOT worshipping the beast, his image or taking his mark, number or name.

. . . “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. And they sing the song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and marvelous are thy works, Lord God Almighty; just and true are thy ways, thou King of saints. Who shall not fear thee, O Lord, and glorify thy name? for thou only art holy: for all nations shall come and worship before thee; for thy judgements are made manifest.” (Rev. 15:2, 15:3, 15:4).

. . . “And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgement was given unto them: and I saw the 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 had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.” (Rev. 20:4).

Men who do NOT worship the beast, his image and take his mark are described as;

1. THEY ARE IN HEAVEN (STAND ON A SEA OF GLASS).
2. THEY HAVE HARPS OF GOD.
3. THEY SING PRAISES AND WORSHIP JESUS CHRIST FOR THEIR SALVATION.
4. THEY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT GOD’S JUDGEMENTS CAME TO PASS.
5. THEY ARE GIVEN THRONES UPON WHICH THEY SIT UPON.
6. THEY ARE GIVEN JUDGEMENT.
7. THEY LIVE AND REIGN WITH CHRIST FOR A THOUSAND YEARS.

THERE ARE SEVEN (7) SPECIFIC RESULTS THAT STEM FROM MEN NOT WORSHIPPING THE BEAST, HIS IMAGE AND TAKING HIS MARK (NAME OR NUMBER). SEVEN (7) DENOTES GOD’S DIVINELY DETERMINED COMPLETENESS AS TO HIS PURPOSE OR PLAN. These blessings or glories are the complete opposite of what awaits those men who DID worship the beast, his image and took his mark, name, number.

1. THE RIGHTEOUS ARE IN HEAVEN FOR ETERNITY VERSUS EVIL MEN WHO ARE IN THE LAKE OF FIRE AND BRIMSTONE FOR ETERNITY.
2. THE RIGHTEOUS ARE JOYFUL AND PLAY HARPS VERSUS EVIL MEN WHO ARE BITTER, RESENTFUL, ANGRY, TORMENTED, CRY AND WAIL IN ANGUISH.
3. THE RIGHTEOUS SING THE PRAISE OF AND WORSHIP JESUS CHRIST VERSUS EVIL MEN WHO ONCE PRAISED AND WORSHIPPED SATAN (THROUGH THE BEAST, HIS IMAGE AND IN TAKING HIS MARK).
4. RIGHTEOUS MEN ACKNOWLEDGE THAT WHAT GOD SAID WOULD COME TO PASS, IN FACT DID COME TO PASS (MADE MANIFEST) VERSUS EVIL MEN WHO IGNORED AND REJECTED WARNINGS, THE GOSPEL AND TESTIMONIES OF THE TRUTH.
5. THE RIGHTEOUS ARE GIVEN THRONES IN HEAVEN VERSUS EVIL MEN WHO ARE DROWNING IN TORMENT IN THE LAKE OF FIRE.
6. THE RIGHTEOUS ARE GIVEN JUDGEMENT VERSUS EVIL MEN WHO ARE JUDGED.
7. THE RIGHTEOUS LIVE AND REIGN WITH CHRIST VERSES EVIL MEN WHO DIE AND FALL WITH SATAN.

The avoidance of doing these five (5) eternal sins is one of the most important themes, in the entire book of Revelation. Men must avoid doing these things, literally at all costs. Even to the point of being beheaded or martyred. Men’s eternal destinies depend on it. Worshipping the beast, his image and taking his mark, name or number result in eternal damnation. There is no way of sugar coating or downplaying this reality.

Revelation 14:10 The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with FIRE AND BRIMSTONE in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:

Revelation 19:20 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.

Revelation 20:10 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.

Revelation 21:8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in THE LAKE WHICH BURNETH WITH FIRE AND BRIMSTONE: WHICH IS THE SECOND DEATH.
