😇 Misunderstanding the Mark of the Beast
This paragraph delves into the common misconception about the 'mark of the beast' being a futuristic microchip leading to eternal damnation. The speaker clarifies that the Book of Revelation, written around 70 AD, uses apocalyptic literature with a mix of thematic and literal writings to convey messages to the seven churches in Asia Minor. The 'beast' is metaphorically described as an empire, specifically the Roman Empire under Emperor Nero, rather than a literal creature. The 'mark' symbolizes spiritual allegiance to this empire, opposing God's kingdom. The speaker emphasizes the importance of understanding the historical and thematic context of biblical scripture to grasp its true meaning.
🛍️ Economic Impact of Spiritual Allegiance in Ancient Rome
The second paragraph discusses the economic implications for Christians in the Roman Empire who refused to partake in pagan practices, which were integral to the trade guilds that controlled local economies. Christians faced ostracism and were unable to buy or sell due to their refusal to participate in guild meetings that involved idol worship and immoral acts. The speaker uses the example of the city of Thota to illustrate the challenges faced by Christians trying to maintain their faith amidst societal and economic pressures. The paragraph also references a biblical passage from Revelation 2, where Jesus addresses the church in Thota and condemns the influence of 'Jezebel' who led people astray with idolatry and immorality.
🔢 The Significance of the Number 666
In this paragraph, the speaker explains the significance of the number 666 in the context of the 'mark of the beast'. It is revealed that 666 is not a modern-day microchip but a reference to the ancient Hebrew system of gematria, where each letter of the alphabet has a numeric value. The speaker suggests that 666 corresponds to the gematria value of 'Caesar Nero', linking the Roman Emperor Nero to the 'beast' described in Revelation. The paragraph concludes with a call to remain faithful to Jesus Christ, emphasizing the eternal nature of God's kingdom over the temporal benefits of the world.

the mark of the beast already happened
but no churches are talking about this
now you're probably wondering wait what
it already happened yes it did and today
we're going to cover this in detail but
before we get into the video If you guys
like Christian content please give this
video a like subscribe to my channel
down below if you are new and turn on my
post notifications so you never miss a
new video without further Ado let's get
into it one of the most misunderstood
verses in the Bible is about the mark of
the beast for the longest time we've
been taught that the mark of the beast
is some futuristic end times microchip
which would send those that take it to
hell for eternity even myself at one
point held this worldview because not
many churches actually teach the true
context of this verse to understand what
the mark of the beast is we need to
learn the context of the time frame in
when the Book of Revelation was written
The Book of Revelation was written
around 70 AD during this time paganism
and persecution was creeping into the
churches at Asia Minor the Lord Jesus
appeared to John the Revelator when he
was on the island of Patmos and gave him
a message to warn the seven churches
about the errors regarding their faith
now all scripture is 100% true but not
all scripture is literal when I say it's
not literal I'm not invalidating
scripture at all the Bible is a literal
historical book that also contains
thematical Rich literature some
scripture is explained in a thematic way
with the literal interpretation being
something different for example Jesus
spoke in Parables to the multitude as a
thematic way of preaching when he was
doing his ministry he also spoke in a
thematic and literal way when he was
describing his death and Resurrection
the Thematic way he described it was in
John 2:19 where he said Jesus answered
them destroy this Temple and in 3 days I
will raise it up Jesus also spoke in a
literal way about this in Matthew 17:22
to 23 where it says as they were
gathering in Galilee Jesus said to them
the son of man is about to be delivered
into the hands of men and they will kill
him and he will be raised on the third
day and they were greatly distressed The
Book of Revelation is apocalyptic
literature that consists of thematic and
literal writings Revelation 13 John
described the Beast is thematic writing
and Revelation 19-22 about Jesus coming
back as well as creating a new heavens
and a new Earth is literal writing that
is something that is actually going to
happen so there's a mixture of thematic
and literal writings in the Book of
Revelation now when John is describing
the Beast John actually uses inspiration
from Daniel 7 for his inspiration on
apocalyptic literature that he writes in
Revelation 13 when he was describing an
Empire as a beast in Daniel 7 Daniel had
very descriptive dreams and vision where
literal beasts were being shown to him
that had abnormal features uncommon to
Mankind's understanding however in
Daniel 7:15 through1 18 he receives an
interpretation for these beasts that he
saw that was actually interpreted as
kings and not literal beastly creatures
Daniel further inquires about the fourth
Beast that he saw in the vision and in
Daniel 7:23 this fourth Beast was
identified as a kingdom or what we know
today as an Empire or government it's
very likely that JN viewed himself as a
modern-day Daniel at the time
considering considering they were both
in an exilic period where God's people
were heavily persecuted when you read
Daniel and John's writings they are very
similar to one another in the way that
they're both using thematic literature
to describe something that is completely
different in the physical so the Beast
that John is writing about is in the
same metaphorical context as Daniel it
is not a literal creature but rather a
government or Empire system that is
being backed by Satan and Satan is not
the Beast because the Book of Revelation
clearly makes a distinguished difference
between Satan and the Beast which is the
Empire that he's describing so John
describes Satan as literal but the Beast
as metaphorical the beast's
correspondence with Satan in this
context is the indication of the vile
nature that the Empire embodies when
it's fully aligned with the devil's will
now that you know that the Beast is
referring to a government and not a
literal creature the next question is
what is the mark of the beast first we
need to see what government was ruling
during that time that the Book of
Revelation was written historically we
see that the Roman Empire reigned during
that period now when the Roman Empire
acquired slaves they would brand their
slaves on their forehead or their hand
and this was their way of marking their
slaves given that the Book of Revelation
was written during Emperor Nero's Reign
who was the ruler of the Roman Empire at
that time John is using the mark in the
same context that the Empire would brand
their slaves the mark in this context is
being used as a thematic description of
ownership by showing allegiance to the
Roman Empire the mark of the beast is an
identification of the followers of the
counterfeit religion religion and God
that opposes the kingdom of God which is
the kingdom of this world and in that
context that was the Roman Empire which
was fully backed by satanic Pagan
practices the mark that John wrote about
is not a literal Mark but a symbolic
representation of spiritual commitment
to the satanic Roman Empire at that time
that greatly opposed God and his people
now we learned that those who take the
mark cannot buy or sell so what exactly
does that mean why could they not buy or
sell not being able to buy or sell in
Revelation 13:17 in its proper cont text
was describing the ostracism of
Christians from the Roman Empire and
being able to partake in the financial
system an example of this was the
Christians that were living in thota in
the first century this city was known
for their dominance in trade guilds over
the local economy every business in
thota was strictly controlled by these
trade guilds in order to work in any
trade one had to belong to the Guild of
that trade and to belong to a guild was
integrally connected with the Pagan
religions that were approved by the
Roman government all the guild meetings
took places in Pagan temp and they all
shared a common Meal which was meat that
was sacrificed to pagan gods in addition
to eating meat that was sacrificed to
Pagan Idols elicit sexual relations were
a central aspect of pagan worship most
temples had male and female prostitutes
that were specifically designated to
serve the temple and its worshippers any
Christian that worked in this trade faed
problems their commitment to Christ as
well as living a life of Holiness would
affect his livelihood his relationship
with his peers as well as being able to
provide for his family because if they
didn't attend these trade guilds where
they were worshiping Pagan deities
eating meat sacrificed to Pagan Idols as
well as having Mass orgies in the temple
they were shunned and ostracized from
society not attending these Guild
meetings was a serious deal during that
time and this is what led many
Christians from being excommunicated
from being able to buy or sell because
they were not going to these trade Guild
meetings however some Christians ended
up compromising for the sake of their
financial livelihood and this is exactly
what Jesus addressed to the church about
in Revelation 218- 24 he said and to the
angel of the church in thota write the
words of the Son of God who has eyes
like a flame of fire and whose feet are
burnished bronze I know your Works your
love and faith and service and patient
endurance and that your latter Works
exceed the first but I have this against
you that you tolerate that woman Jezebel
who calls herself a propheus and is
teaching and seducing my servants to
practice sexual immorality and to eat
food sacrificed to Idols I gave her time
to repent but she refuses to repent of
her sexual immorality behold I will
throw her onto a sick bed and Those who
commit adult with her I will throw into
Great Tribulation unless they repent of
her works and I will strike her children
dead and all the churches will know that
I am he who searches mind and heart and
I will give to each of you according to
your works but to the rest of you in
thoa who do not hold this teaching who
have not learned what some call the Deep
things of Satan to you I say I do not
lay on you any other burden so now we
know what the context of the Beast is
what the Mark is and why you can't bu
your C without the mark the final
question is why does it say that the
number of the mark of the beast is 666
in Revelation 13:18 it says this calls
for wisdom let the one who has
understanding calculate the number of
the Beast for it is the number of a man
and his number is 666 notice how John
says it is the number of a man this is
because in the ancient world there was a
system known as gatria where every
letter of the alphabet had a numeric
value adding the value of each letter in
a name could spell that name with a
number in fact the occult and the
satanic societies still use gatria to
this day of all the possibilities of
what 666 could be there's only one name
in the Hebrew language that adds up to
that number in this historical context
which is Caesar neron which was the name
for the Roman Emperor Nero who ruled
during that time keep in mind John the
Revelator who wrote this book was Jewish
so he clearly was linking Emperor Nero's
name to Hebrew gatria to summarize it
the proper context of the Beast was the
Roman Empire the Mark was spiritual
allegiance to the Roman Empire and the
number 666 was the gatria spelling of
the Roman Emperor Nero it is not a
physical microchip or the modern-day
understanding of what the church teaches
it is very important to study the Bible
in the context that it was written in
because one of the agendas of Satan is
to teach false end times theology so
that when it doesn't come to pass it
will shake genuine Believers faith and
may even cause them to leave the faith
altogether the reason that it doesn't
come to pass is because it was never
true to begin with people just created
their own interpretation outside of the
context It Was Written in and then they
just ran with it and this is taught as
fact when it really isn't however we can
still take the biblical understanding of
this context and apply to the world
today are you marked by Jesus Christ or
are you marked by the Beast system of
this world will you endure tough times
during the persecution of the world's
beastly Empire or will you submit to the
Beast and its satanic ways as Christians
Jesus must always come first no matter
how hard the Beast system tries to make
our way of life we are citizens of an
eternal Kingdom that will never perish
and it far surpasses any benefits that
the kingdom of this world could ever
provide let us keep our eyes above and
seek Jesus and most importantly endure
until the end which is what the Apostle
John emphasized in his letter to the
seven churches we must never compromise
our loyalty to Jesus no matter how hard
life becomes I want to thank you guys so
