 What is the mark of the beast? 

     It also forced all people, great and small, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hands or on their foreheads so that they could not buy or sell unless they had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of its name. (Revelation 13:16-17) This is a critical declaration, for it states of some kind of   global mark advocated by authority that manages people ability to conduct normal matters of business such as buying and selling. Those who don’t have the mark (including women and children) are isolated from the most routine matters of purchasing food, goods and services. Being able to buy and sell goods is necessary. This is something that everybody has the right to do. The stores and retail businesses will be willing to sell goods to people without the mark, but these people can’t earn a wage or a salary so that they have an income to make a living. According to Revelation 13:16 people who don’t have the mark will not be able to buy or sell goods. They will not have money to do so because they are unemployed. So then, the mark of the beast involves the ability to get and hold a job in order to make a living. 

   Some people believe the mark of the beast is a computer chip implanted in people’s foreheads or right hands. Others think it is a government program to control people wherever they are in the world. Others still think it is the passport that people carry to travel throughout the world. Despite many speeches preached and articles written about its possible meaning, people still remain puzzled about it. The mark of the beast is not a computer chip. Let assume someone has a computer chip implanted in his forehead or in his right hand. This does not mean this person is qualified to work, buy and sell. The mark of the beast is implied that a person would not be able to hold a job. So without a job people will not have money to buy basic necessity. In order to sell you must have assets or goods. Government program is always for the benefit of every citizen. The mark of the beast goes beyond just a government program. It is also the mark of Satan the devil. The beast symbolizes the global human government political system. It received power, great authority and the throne from Satan so it ruled the world under the influence of Satan the devil. (Revelation 12:9, 13:1,2 Daniel 7:17)

 The mark of the beast is an abomination to God. Whoever has it is an enemy of God the creator. The mark of the beast is some immoral behavior that Satan the devil promotes to force people to belong to him. And the demons induce people to accept any  immoral activity as a normal way of  life. The demons are servants of Satan the devil. They incite people to do all kind of wickedness activities such as illegal drug, murder, illicit sexual relation, adultery, homosexuality, rape, robbery. Be very careful about your decision when suddenly something illegal comes up to your mind or you saw  that thing in a dream. Satan the devil and his demons can make you feel  homosexual desire but you are still not an homosexual. You cannot be homosexual in a dream.  A man becomes homosexual when he has sexual relation with another man.  This is some of the many ways Satan the devil and his demons induced bad things in people thought or mind. The demons are invisible evil spirits, they are evil angels who came on earth with Satan the devil. Then war broke out in heaven. Michael and his angels fought against the dragon, and the dragon and his angels fought back. But he was not strong enough, and they lost their place in heaven. The great dragon was hurled down that ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, who leads the whole world astray. He was hurled to the earth, and his angels with him. Revelation 12: 7-9 

   This is the reason Satan makes it very hard for people all over the world to obtain eternal life. It is very difficult for people to survive without having basic necessity such as food, goods and services a place to sleep and so forth. The mark of the beast is a total rejection to God his law and commandments. It stands clearly as a brand of disobedience to God and his law. It is also the greatest threat of humankind. God created a man and a woman for the purpose to fill the earth of human beings. Life definitely exists between a man and a woman or between opposite sex-couples. (Genesis 1:27-28) Homosexuality is absolutely the opposite of the purpose of God. It is impossible for same sex couples to conceive a child.  Homosexuality is an idea of Satan the devil. It is an abomination that causes the wrath of God the Almighty. It is absolutely violence. Life does not exist in same sex couples, but the punishment of God the Almighty.  (Genesis 19: 1-26) That requires for people of God to be very careful and vigilant. Satan is looking for any way to destroy them. The apostle Peter admonishes Christians; Stay alert! Watch out for your great enemy, the devil. He prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour. Resist him, firm in your faith, knowing that the same kinds of suffering are being experienced by your brotherhood throughout the world. (1 Peter 5:8-9)  

The mark of the beast is not the pope. There is no indication in the Bible and in the world that someone needs the approval of the pope in order to do business such as buying and selling. It is not a combination of letters and symbols that will be physically and permanently placed on people foreheads or right hands. It is not a literal mark placed on people foreheads or right hands. In the past when the nation of Israel was the people of God there was a similar case in which God required whoever is righteous to have a mark in their foreheads. This mark was an identity for the angel destroyer to spare the bearer of it.  He said to him, "Walk through the streets of Jerusalem and put a mark on the foreheads of all who weep and sigh because of the detestable sins being committed in their city." Then the angel destroyer received order from God the Almighty to kill whoever does not have a mark on their foreheads. As I listened, he said to the others, "Follow him through the city and kill, without showing pity or compassion. Slaughter the old men, the young men and women, the mothers and children, but do not touch anyone who has the mark. Begin at my sanctuary." So they began with the old men who were in front of the temple. (Ezekiel 9:4-6)

   In other occasion God gave order to spare only people who have his seal on their foreheads. He opened the pit of the abyss, and smoke went up out of the pit, like the smoke from a burning furnace. The sun and the air were darkened because of the smoke from the pit. Then from the smoke came locusts on the earth, and they were given power like the power of scorpions of the earth. They were told not to harm the grass of the earth or any plant or tree, but only those people who did not have the seal of God on their foreheads. (Revelation 9:1-4, Exodus 12:7,12,13 compare) The mark that God ordered for people to bear on their foreheads was not literal. The fact that angels of God put them on people mean they are not visible. And also angels can recognize them. We know God chooses only people who are faithful to him to be part of his kingdom. Christian must reject every bad conduct and avoid in all occasion not to commit sin against God. This is the type of people God approves to be his servants. If it happens someone commit a sin let him be repented immediately. So I tell you, every sin and blasphemy can be forgiven except blasphemy against the Holy Spirit, which will never be forgiven. Anyone who speaks against the Son of Man can be forgiven, but anyone who speaks against the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven, either in this world or in the world to come. Matthew 12:31,32

 If you see any brother or sister commit a sin that does not lead to death, you should pray and God will give them life. I refer to those whose sin does not lead to death. There is a sin that leads to death. I am not saying that you should pray about that. All wrongdoing is sin, but there is sin that does not lead to death. We know that everyone who has been born of God does not keep on sinning, but he who was born of God protects him, and the evil one does not touch him. We know that we are children of God, and that the whole world is under the control of the evil one. (1 John 5:16-19) What is the meaning of receiving a mark on the right hand or on the forehead? Also it causes all, both small and great, both rich and poor, both free and slave, to be marked on the right hand or the forehead, so that no one can buy or sell unless he has the mark, that is, the name of the beast or the number of its name. (Rev 13:16-17) Anyone who supports verbally or actively homosexuality then he received the mark on his right hand. Someone who is actually homosexual received the mark on his forehead.

    On June 26, 2015 the United States Supreme Court ruled in favor of the freedom to marry, allowing same sex couples to marry nation wide. Now all the three branches of government of the United States Approved same sex couples to marry. So everyone in the three branches of the United States government has the mark of the beast regardless of his position on this issue. As a matter of fact every member of all democratic governments in the world has also the mark of the beast. Which is also the mark of Satan the devil. And no one could buy or sell anything without that mark, which was either the name of the beast or the number represented his name. (Revelation 13:17) In order to understand the above verse let examine what happened recently in the news media. (December 2013) As you have probably heard, unless you are leading a life away from the Internet, television and people, Phil Robertson the 67 year old "patriarch" in A&E's popular redneck reality swamp comedy “Duck Dynasty” gave an interview to GQ, the fancy men's lifestyle magazine. Paraphrasing Corinthians he added: “Don’t be deceived. Neither the adulterers, the idolaters, the male prostitutes, the homosexual offenders, the greedy, the drunkards, the slanderers, the swindlers they won’t inherit the kingdom of God don’t deceive yourself. It’s not right.” This is the real text of 1 Corinthians 6:9-10: Don't you realize that those who do wrong will not inherit the Kingdom of God? Don't fool yourselves. Those who indulge in sexual sin, or who worship idols, or commit adultery, or are male prostitutes, or practice homosexuality, or are thieves, or greedy people, or drunkards, or are abusive, or cheat people none of these will inherit the Kingdom of God.

   Immediately Gay and Lesbian exploded and said “Phil and his family claim to be Christian, but Phil’s lies about an entire community fly in the face of what true Christians believe,” said GLAAD rep Wilson Cruz. “ He clearly knows nothing about gay people or the majority of Louisianians and Americans who support legal recognition for loving and committed gay and lesbian couples. Phil’s decision to push vile and extreme stereotype is a stain on A&E and his sponsors who now need to reexamine their ties to someone with such public disdain for LGBT people and families. "A&E Networks suspended Robertson from 'Duck Dynasty' after the interview was released. “We are extremely disappointed to have read Phil Robertson’s comments in GQ, which are based on his own personal beliefs and are not reflected in the series 'Duck Dynasty,'" A&E Networks said in a statement. "His personal views in no way reflect those of A&E Networks, who have always been strong supporters and champions of the LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender) community. The part of Corinthians Phil Robertson spoke about mentioned also drunkards and adulterers cannot receive everlasting life. Did the network feel offended for these particular groups of people? The answer is NO. Don’t forget if you don’t have the mark of the beast on your right hand or on your forehead you cannot buy or sell. This is exactly what’s happened to Phil Robertson.                                                                                       

    A Canadian teacher Chris Kempling who in 2002 was suspended from teaching for writing letters to a local newspaper explaining Christian belief on homosexuality. Kempling fought the charges all the way to the Canadian Supreme Court, where his appeal was denied in 2005 leaving him with hundreds of thousands of dollars in legal fees. In summer 2010 a Catholic professor was fired from the University of Illinois (United States) for sending an email to students in a course on Catholic doctrine, explaining how homosexual activity is contrary to the natural moral law. More recently Canadian television sportscaster Damian Goddard was fired for tweeting his support of Burlington hockey agent Todd Reynolds, who created a stir when he criticized New York Rangers hockey star Sean Avery for shooting a TV ad backing gay “marriage.”  “I completely and wholeheartedly support Todd Reynolds and his support for the traditional and TRUE meaning of marriage,” Goddard tweeted. He got fired immediately. In May  2011, the former connected star tweeted that he “completely and wholeheartedly” supports “the traditional and TRUE meaning of marriage.” Rogers immediately distanced themselves from the tweet, and then fired him within 24 hours. In June 2011, Goddard, a devout Roman Catholic, filed a human rights complaint alleging religious discrimination. TORONTO, April 15, 2013, Nearly two years after sportscaster Damian Goddard was fired by Rogers Communications, the Canadian Human Rights Commission has dismissed his complaint in which he alleged that he was fired because he had publicly voiced support for the traditional definition of marriage. There are countless of people who lost their jobs for backing the point of view of the bible about homosexuality. 

   In the law God the Almighty gave to the people of Israel, he said: "If a man has sexual relations with another man as a man does with a woman, these two men have done a hateful sin. They must be put to death. They have brought it on themselves." Leviticus 20:13 NCV (New Century Version) "Now a man who commits adultery with another man’s wife is one who commits adultery with the wife of his fellow man. He should be put to death without fail, the adulterer and the adulteress as well." (Leviticus 20:10) Adultery is an idea of Satan  the devil. It is a hateful sin that causes the anger of God the Almighty. It is totally violence.  Homosexual means a man who has any sexual activity with other man. Transgender or transsexual is a person who has undergone surgery to become a member of the opposite sex. Lesbian is a woman who has any sexual activity with other woman. Bisexual is a man that has relation sexual with man, and also with woman. (The word bisexual is defined wrong) The right definition for bisexual: somebody who was born with both male and female sexual organs. (Non-sense Hermaphrodite the son of Hermes and Aphrodite in Greek mythology.) "A woman must not put on men's clothing, and a man must not wear women's clothing. Anyone who does this is detestable in the sight of the Lord your God. Deuteronomy 22:5

   And he causes all, the small and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the free men and the slaves, to be given a mark on their right hand or on their forehead, so that no one can buy or sell unless he has the mark, that is, the name of the beast or the number of its name. (Revelation 13:16,17). ((((Very Soon the government of the United States of America will make it compulsory for all citizens and people in the nation in order to work anywhere in the country must approve, support or accept homosexuality as normal way of life. Anyone who refuses to obey the order of the government will not be permissible to work or receive any wages as consequences of the refusal. At that moment people are going to have the option to reject or accept the mark of the beast that is idolatry or worship Satan the devil that is a sin against the Holy Spirit.))))  It will be the most difficult time in history of humankind. The US government will force people to support homosexuality or stay unemployed. Right now without any restriction of the government the job market is very hard. It will happen very soon. This is not a joke. All the people of the earth must be ready to make the right decision. All democratic governments will follow the path of the United States of America or the other way around. The right decision is to obey the law of God the Almighty. Never forget that the Lord God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah because of the practice of homosexuality. (Genesis 19:1-29) The right choice will never be easy. Homosexuality is a threat against humanity. The population of the United States will decrease or it won’t grow enough at the rate it supposed to, as a result of fewer babies born than usual. That will happen in all the countries where homosexuality is legal. The next generation will be in great danger.

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. (Revelation 13:18) The mark, the name, and the number of the beast are the same thing. The number six is an imperfect number in human point of view. For example we have five fingers in each hand and five toes in each foot. The days of the week are seven. So God created human beings in his own image. In the image of God he created them; male and female he created them. God saw all that he had made, and it was very good. And there was evening, and there was morning the sixth day. (Genesis 1:27,31) 666 happened to be a man number and God created man on the sixth day. Man sinned and made all the earth became a mess. The fact that the number of the beast is triple 6 means accentuation of imperfection, lawless, Godless, Antichrist and betrayers.  God will destroy all who have the mark of the beast and warship its image. A third angel followed them and said in a loud voice: “If anyone worships the beast and its image and receives its mark on their forehead or on their hand, they, too, will drink the wine of God’s fury, which has been poured full strength into the cup of his wrath. They will be tormented with burning sulfur in the presence of the holy angels and of the Lamb.  And the smoke of their torment will rise forever and ever. There will be no rest day or night for those who worship the beast and its image, or for anyone who receives the mark of its name.” This calls for patient endurance on the part of the people of God who keep his commands and remain faithful to Jesus.  (Revelation 14:9-12) 

  Finally the mark of the beast is an abomination to God. It is a rejection to God, his law, and commandments. The mark of the beast stands clearly as a brand of disobedience to God. It consists a sort of perversions and immorality that God the creator rejected as an abomination. Such as bestiality, homosexuality, lesbianism, and transsexualism are unacceptable to God. They consist the most dangerous threat to human existence. Satan the devil is the promoter of homosexuality and his angels that are homosexuals evil  spirits  called demons stimulate people to homosexuality. Therefore this type of behavior is under a curse of destruction. After all pertinent and careful search and profound examination it comes to the conclusion without any doubt that the mark of the beast is homosexuality, which is a sin against the Holy Spirit. Matthew 12:31,32 it is also blasphemy against God.  Definitely the mark of the beast is homosexuality.
