WILL THE CORONA VIRUS LEAD TO THE MARK OF THE BEAST?--YOU MAY BE SURPRISED AT THE ANSWER

As we are experiencing the Virus crisis I see that many are questioning if this is leading to the “Mark of the Beast.” After all we are in an emergency situation and many of our liberties according to our Constitution are being put to the test. There is talk about having to have vaccine cards or digital tracking to confirm whether or not you’ve had the virus. These are all legitimate concerns.

In order to understand the mark of the beast we must search the scriptures and allow the Bible to interpret itself. We also must be able to talk about what it says and understand to whom the Bible was written.

The Bible is not a Christian book it is a Jewish book. It was written by Jews, except for Luke, and some believe he may have been Jewish. In order to understand the mark of the beast the fact the Bible is written by and to Jewish people first is the key. Yes, later the Gentiles were “grafted into” Israel and the book was open to them.

Note, the Gentiles are grafted into Israel. The Apostle Paul spent 3 chapters in Romans explaining this. Gentile believers become part of the “Commonwealth of Israel.”

The next step is to understand that the Bible is written in its own time and calendar. This fact is a key that unlocks many mysteries. The Biblical calendar revolves around the Biblical Feasts of “The Lord” as we read in Leviticus 23.2. We are allowing the Bible to interpret itself—“Concerning the feasts of the Lord” it clearly states.

If they are the feasts of the Lord it says what it means and means what it says. These feasts and information about them are also found in Numbers 28 and Deuteronomy 16 among others.

The Biblical day begins and ends at 6 PM each twenty four hour period. The Roman calendar day begins at 12 midnight each twenty four hour period. A difference of 6 hours. The Bible is written in Biblical time not Roman time. https://burningbush647.blogspot.com/2019/12/brief-insightsinto-sabbath-and-calendar.html

The “Feasts of the Lord” are Passover, Unleavened Bread, First Fruits, Pentecost, Day of Trumpets, Day of Atonement, and Tabernacles. They are the keys to understanding end time Biblical prophecy.

As Leviticus 23 continues in verse three, the 7^th day Sabbath is included. Verse 4 then says these are holy convocations and are to be proclaimed in their seasons. The Hebrew word for seasons = Moed = “appointed times”. These are appointed times of Yehovah when He and His people are to meet. The word feasts also mean “appointed times.”

We are allowing the Bible to interpret itself. On the day of Pentecost in Acts the Holy Spirit fell upon Jews gathered at Jerusalem for their appointed time. Gentiles are not involved. The early church in Jerusalem was made up of Jewish people who believed that Yeshua was the Messiah.

Later in Acts 10 Peter has a vison of clean and unclean and is told to go to an unclean Gentile house. Peter obeyed and tells Cornelius that as a Jew he does not keep company with those from other nations, but that God had sent him. He shares the Gospel with Cornelius and we have the first recorded official conversion of a Gentile in the Bible.

WHAT IS THE MARK OF THE BEAST?

Let’s look at some scripture to see what the Bible has to say about the mark: "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 …."Revelation 14.9-10.

"And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment 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 …."Revelation 20.4

WHO REFUSES THE MARK OF THE BEAST?

Here is the patience of the saints; here are those who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus. Revelation 14.12

Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience. Ephesians 5.6

And the dragon was enraged with the woman, and he went to make war with the rest of her offspring, who keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus Christ. Revelation12.17

Ok, step by step. Those who worship the beast and receive the mark will drink of the wrath of God. Those who refuse to worship “keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus! Very simple, we are allowing the Bible to interpret itself.

IS THERE A MARK OF GOD?

Yes. Read Ezekiel 9. Now, read Exodus 32.12-17. When I was ardently seeking the truth about numerous things I’d been taught and questioning; these verses in Exodus hit me like a thunderbolt! There was the SIGN hidden in plain sight and commanded for all generations. I was DUMBSTRUCK. I mean it, this was the answer to more than a year of seeking.

If we are grafted into the Commonwealth we are citizens of the Commonwealth. Citizens of His Kingdom.

Yehovah has “winked” at former generations because the time was not yet. Yeshua did not come to start a new religion. He came to establish the Kingdom of God. He has graciously included the Gentiles into His Kingdom.

Yeshua said that the last generation would see all these things: “Assuredly, I say to you, this generation will by no means pass away till all these things take place.” Matt 24.34 Those who go through the last days will see all these things come to pass!

The Father is restoring the true Kingdom Gospel in these last days. Many are being “awakened” to His commandments.

The Beast is a false church that will demand total worship and obedience. You will have to worship its image. Those who refuse the Mark of the Beast will follow the commands of the Captain of their Salvation –Yeshua ha Mashiach. Jesus the Messiah. It’s not about vaccine cards or all the crazy ideas out there. Just as Hitler put a mark on the Jews and took away their right to worship their God so it will be at the end days.

The mark of the false church beast will not allow the Sabbath or Feasts of the Lord to be observed. This will mark Yehovah’s followers in that day. The Bible is clear on this point. The mark of the Beast is all about worship! Let Daniel have the last word:

The ten horns are ten kings who shall arise from this kingdom. And another shall rise after them; He shall be different from the first ones, and shall subdue three kings. He shall speak pompous words against the Most High, Shall persecute the saints of the Most High, and shall intend to change times and law. Then the saints shall be given into his hand for a time and times and half a time. Daniel 7.24-25

Amen
