Keywords

💡Mark of the Beast

The 'Mark of the Beast' is a concept from the Book of Revelation in the Bible, traditionally interpreted as a literal mark or microchip associated with the end times. In the video, it is recontextualized as a symbolic representation of spiritual commitment to the Roman Empire during the time of Emperor Nero, which was antagonistic to the early Christian faith. The script explains that the mark was not a physical entity but an indication of allegiance to a system that opposed God.

💡Apocalyptic Literature

Apocalyptic literature is a genre of prophetic text that often includes symbolic imagery and visions of the end times. The video discusses the Book of Revelation as an example of apocalyptic literature, which contains both thematic and literal writings. The script clarifies that not all parts of Revelation should be taken as literal descriptions of future events but should be understood within their historical and thematic context.

💡Thematic Interpretation

Thematic interpretation refers to understanding a text not just by its literal meaning but also by the underlying themes and messages it conveys. The video emphasizes the importance of thematic interpretation in understanding the mark of the beast and the beast itself, suggesting that they symbolize spiritual and political allegiances rather than physical entities.

💡Literal Interpretation

Literal interpretation is a method of reading a text as it is written, without seeking underlying metaphors or symbolic meanings. The video contrasts literal interpretation with thematic interpretation, arguing that while some parts of the Bible, such as the accounts of Jesus' death and resurrection, are meant to be taken literally, others, like the mark of the beast, are better understood thematically.

💡Book of Revelation

The Book of Revelation, also known as the Apocalypse of John, is the final book of the New Testament and is the primary source of the 'mark of the beast' concept. The video discusses the historical context of its writing around 70 AD and how its content should be understood in light of the religious and political climate of that time, particularly the influence of the Roman Empire.

💡Roman Empire

The Roman Empire is the historical context within which the video suggests the Book of Revelation was written. It is presented as the 'beast' in a metaphorical sense, representing a government system that was in opposition to Christianity. The empire's practices, such as branding slaves and requiring participation in pagan rituals for economic participation, are highlighted as the basis for the symbolic 'mark of the beast'.

💡Spiritual Allegiance

Spiritual allegiance refers to the loyalty and commitment one has to a spiritual belief system or deity. In the video, the mark of the beast is described as a symbol of spiritual allegiance to the Roman Empire and its pagan practices, which stood in opposition to the Christian faith.

💡Pagan Practices

Pagan practices in the context of the video refer to the religious rituals and beliefs of the Roman Empire that were not aligned with Christianity. These practices, which included worshiping multiple gods and participating in rituals that Christians would have found morally objectionable, are presented as part of the 'beast' system that demanded spiritual allegiance.

💡Trade Guilds

Trade guilds were organizations that controlled specific trades or crafts in ancient cities like Thota. The video uses trade guilds as an example of how Christians were ostracized from economic participation if they did not participate in the guilds' pagan rituals, illustrating the practical implications of refusing the 'mark of the beast' in that historical context.

💡Gatria

Gatria, also known as gematria, is a system where letters of the alphabet have numerical values, and words or phrases can be associated with numbers based on these values. In the video, it is suggested that the number 666, associated with the mark of the beast, is derived from the gatria value of the name 'Caesar Nero,' linking the Roman Emperor Nero to the beast in a symbolic way.

💡Nero

Nero was the Roman Emperor during the time when the Book of Revelation is believed to have been written.

Transcripts

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
