The Mark of the Beast is the next to last section.
This chapter of Revelation is a continuation of chapter twelve. In chapter twelve, the dragon (Satan) sought to do away with the spiritual births born of Jesus Christ. That would leave a sandy shore where the blossoms of spiritual births should be. That paves a way for the beast to rise up from the global sea of people who are living without the Spirit of Christ, “And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea,“ Revelation 13:1a.

The Mark of the Beast [mark, name, and number].
The number “666” unites the person with the beast.
With everything talked about in this chapter, a person has to be open to talking about an internal presence that is not of ourselves. The Bible already says that our body is the temple of God and there is an entity that sits in the temple of God as if it is God. “ Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?” 1 Corinthians 3:16 Speaking of the beast, “It opposes and exalts itself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that it sits in the temple of God, showing itself that it is God.” 2 Thessalonians 2:4 This is the entity that has control of thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and every cellular aspect of the human body, and it gives life to the image of the beast to live and speak through people.
Global Presence and Blasphemous
“And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.” Revelation 13:1
The beast of that verse is the first beast of Satan’s trinity, the second beast [false prophet] is revealed in Revelations 13:11-17
That beast shares the same nature as Satan his father, as described in Revelations 12:3, “And another sign appeared in heaven: behold, a great, fiery red dragon having seven heads and ten horns, and seven diadems on his heads.” Revelation 12:3 This relates to the extinction of Christian births. “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.” Revelation 12:17
The seven heads relate to the seven continents. The realization that there were seven continents on the planet happened in the 20th century. It was not until the 1950’s to the 1970’s that researchers began to understand the processes of plate tectonics, which led to the identification of the seven continents we know today. The prophecies of Revelations are for us today. We are living in the times of the global government of the beast.
The ten horns relate to power and authority of the ten major powers upon the continents around the world. The ten crowns relate to the governing leaders of the global government of the beast being represented in every nation around the world. This means that the presence of the beast is global. Even the United States is obviously no longer a nation that honors the teachings of the Bible. Why are there seven heads but ten horns and crowns? Because each of the seven continents has a dominant power, and some continents are large enough to have two major powers. For example, Asia has Russia and China whereas South America is a continent to itself.
Nowadays, there is global blaspheme and mockery of God, blaspheme of the need for Jesus Christ, and blaspheme of the Holy Spirit. This is happening on all seven continents and in every nation. Every nation around the world is conforming to the global government of the beast.
The beast rises up from the sea, and the sea represents the population of people on all seven continents and in every nation. The beast is rising up through the sea of people around the world. It’s obvious that people in every city around the world are rising up as they riot and protest for one purpose, to usher in the global “democracy” of the beast. Cultures, laws, and constitutions are changing around the world due to social and economic upheaval pushed forward by the global voices demanding change. They are pushing for conformity to the goals of the United Nations to establish the one world constitution that regulates every nation.
As the beast rises up through the sea of the global population, the followers of Jesus Christ find themselves standing on the sand of the sea. The sea of people, in every city around the world, are creating a world of spiritual sand. Obviously, the beast is atheistic and so is the global population that the beast rises up through. The spiritual sand is being created by opposing belief in the Living God, scoffing at the need for the forgiveness of sin through Jesus Christ, and oppressing the presence of the Holy Spirit. The sea of people is hostile to the lush crops that grow in the name of God, and through Jesus Christ who causes the fruit of the Holy Spirit to blossom.
The spiritual sand reveals itself in the physiology of people, as the global government and its global culture are built on that sand. Click here for a post on human physiology turned to sand. On that spiritual sand, people become receptive to the beast that gives them what to think, feel, say, and do. Jesus says, “But everyone who hears these sayings of Mine, and does not do them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand: and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it fell. And great was its fall.” Matthew 7:26-27
The beast, and its global culture and global government, blaspheme the name of God in every city and nation across all seven continents. That blaspheme can be summarized in one verse, which involves the beast rising up through the global population and is the one “…who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.” 2 Thessalonians 2:4 God created us to be His temple where the Holy Spirit sets within us, not to be the place where the beast sets to give us what to think, feel, say, and do. Click here for a post on the global falling away and the “man of sin”.
The lyrics to John Lennon’s song “Imagine” could be the theme song of today’s global culture, and emphasizes the global blaspheme against God, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit.
Empowerment and Authority
“And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.” Revelation 13:2
This is the beast described in the previous section. This beast has seven heads, ten horns, and ten crowns that blasphemes the name of God. This means the beast is global on all seven continents and in all nations. This beast rises up through the sea of the global population and is responsible for causing the spiritual sand. This is the beast living within people through their thoughts, words, feelings, and behaviors. Below is a description of the beast living within the people of the global culture.
1] Like a leopard: Leopards are agile, lives in various habitats, well-camouflaged, has a broad diet, and is an opportunistic hunter. This describes the people of the global culture who are agile, lives in different cities across the globe, can blend well into any social environment, will prey on anyone who opposes them, and is opportunistic in pouncing on the outliers of their social network. What makes them so versatile? The beast that lives within their physiology gives them uncanny knowledge, heightened intuition, uncanny authority over others, extraordinary skills and talents, amazing physical abilities, etc. Because it blasphemes God, we know its agility is used to come against the followers of Jesus Christ, His Gospel, and all of Christianity. A leopard is mentioned in Daniel 7:6. Click here for a post on the leopard as mentioned in Daniel 7:6.
2] Feet like a bear’s: To have the claws of a bear is to be vicious in the ability to tear things apart. Because it blasphemes God, we know its claws are designed to tear apart fellowship in Jesus Christ and any relationship formed through the Holy Spirit. A bear is mentioned in Daniel 7:5 in the context of ripping apart Christian relationships. Click here for a post on the bear as mentioned in Daniel 7:1-8.
3] Mouth like a lion’s: When thinking about a mouth of a lion, we think of its mighty and almost deafening roar. And also, its ability to chew to pieces its prey. Because it blasphemes God, we know the “mouth of a lion” is used against belief in God and those who share the Gospel of Jesus Christ. This is the mouth of the people of the global culture who will roar with words to aggressively put down the testimony of Jesus Christ. And to chew to pieces the presence of the Holy Spirit. A lion is mentioned in Daniel 7:4 in this same context. Click here for a post on the lion as mentioned in Daniel 7:1-8.
4] Satan gives this beast its power. Similar to how God gave Jesus Christ His great power through His Spirit, Satan gives great power to the beast. Satan imitates God’s Trinity with the first beast of this verse and verse 1, being his son. The second beast, with two horns like a lamb [Revelation 13:11-12], is Satan’s version of the Holy Spirit. Thus, Satan the dragon is the father of his son [the first beast] that is given life/breath to speak through the second beast. This is similar to God who has given great power and authority to Jesus Christ who is given life/breath to speak through us through the Holy Spirit.
5] Satan gives this beast his seat of power. The seat of power that is given to this beast is within the temple of God, our body. This is done by the beast with two horns like a lamb that gives life/breath to the image of the beast to speak through people. The beast speaks through people by the ability to give people what to think, feel, say, and do and is the one “”…who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.” 2 Thessalonians 2:4 Click here for a post on the “man of sin”.
6] Satan gives the beast great authority. The great authority given to the beast is the power over the human heart to control what people think, feel, say, and do. The authority of the beast is so great that, “It was granted to him to make war with the saints and to overcome them. And authority was given him over every tribe, tongue, and nation. All who dwell on the earth will worship him, whose names have not been written in the Book of Life of the Lamb…” Revelation 13:7-8
If anyone ever gets tempted to snuggle up to the furry creatures, because they disguise themselves as being very approachable, just remember that they are predators, and their prey is decent human beings who embrace the Spirit of Christ. Everyone knows about wolves in sheep’s clothing; well, this is a beast in human clothing. Its only purpose is to steal, kill and destroy anything to do with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The beast lives from within the masses around the world, and they are in every sector of society in cities around world.
Possesses Power Over Physiology
“And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.” Revelation 13:3
The beast was wounded and died and was resurrected back to life, and all the world followed the beast after that. Satan expects people to come to Him for healing in their physiology [not by the Spirit]. This strategy of Satan is to copy everything that God has done through His Son Jesus Christ. Jesus was mortally wounded and died on the Cross to atone for sin, and this opened the door for all the world to come to God, as quoted, “He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, and by His stripes we are healed.” Isaiah 53:5
Satan wants to imitate everything that God has done, including having the power over life and death and to have the power to heal. The global population follows the beast because they are mesmerized by its ability to heal and its power over life and death. It has the ability to reach deep into physiology, on every cellular level, and to do miracles. It is able to maneuver within thoughts, emotions, feelings, muscle movements, and the whole of human physiology.
Today, in this year 2022, everyone I know is familiar with healings. They talk about unbelievable healings from addictions, physical healings from pain, miraculous healings from cancer, mental healings, emotional healings, amazing recuperation from severe accidents, and the list goes on and on. It is a global occurrence as people around the world are talking about the healing phenomenon on social media platforms, webpages, and all over the internet. At the same time, they blaspheme God, discard the need for Jesus Christ, and trample on the Holy Spirit.
The power the beast has over physiology overrides natural processes and even overrides genetic factors. It taunts its power over life and death in many ways. Also, in a more “down to earth” way, a public show is made of the ability to make clones, and even to resurrect life from a cell of an animal that had been dead for years and years. People even talk about witnessing animals coming back to life after they thought they were laying lifeless. The beast has the ability to “cheat” death.
The world wonders after the beast for its power over physiology and life. They wonder after the beast because of the empowerment given to them through uncanny knowledge, extraordinary skills and talents, amazing physical abilities and achievements, uncanny authority over others, physical comforts, sensual pleasure, youthfulness, health, etc. They are empowered for success within the culture of the beast. Our Lord Jesus says this, “For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?” Mark 8:36-37
The beast will not promise eternal life. The beast speaks and lives through people and by what they say and do they deny that there is life beyond the grave. To them, belief in eternal life is craziness. They do not believe that they will be raised from the grave into either condemnation nor eternal life. The Holy Spirit promises this, “… those who sleep in the dust of the earth will awake, some to everlasting life, some to shame and everlasting contempt. Those who are wise will shine like the brightness of the firmament, and those who turn many to righteousness like the stars forever and ever.” Daniel 12:2
“And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. But rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.” Matthew 10:28
God promises eternal life through faith in Jesus Christ. He gives the Holy Spirit who is the guarantee of eternal life, Ephesians 1:13-15. Over 2000 years ago, God raised Jesus from the dead after three days, gave Him a new body, and brought Him into eternal paradise. Because He lives, we will live also. We will be resurrected from the dead and receive an eternal body. God wants us to believe in our heart and say with our mouth that Jesus Christ is Lord. “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” John 3:16
Unchallengeable
“And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?” Revelation 13:4
Worshipping the dragon is to worship Satan who gives power to the first beast of the previous section. Satan wants to copy God who gives power to Jesus Christ.
In the previous section on how the beast possesses power over life, death, and has the power to heal, all the world wondered after the beast. This power also extends to empowering people with uncanny knowledge, extraordinary skills and talents, amazing physical abilities and achievements, uncanny authority over others, physical comforts, sensual pleasure, youthfulness, health, etc. This beast has power over every cell of physiology and is given life/breath to speak/live through people, as described in the section about five sections below this one. Nobody is able to stand against something like that. The power the beast has over physiology leads the global population, the global culture, to boast, “…who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?”
After people, in every city around the world, realizes the power that the beast has over physiology, they serve the beast boasting, “…who is like the beast? who is able to make war with him?” Today’s atheistic culture is serving Satan as they boast on behalf of the beast that has power over physiology. This is similar to Christians who serve God by boasting in Jesus Christ for the power He has over sin and death. The Holy Spirit says to us, “He who boasts, let him boast in the Lord.” 1 Corinthians 1:31
Those who praise the beast for all of its amazing signs and power also detest criticism or opposition of any type, whether from siblings, co-workers, parents, managers, government officials, or people they come across every day. They feel that no one is able to stand against them.
Nobody is able to make war with the beast, except our Lord Jesus Christ, who has already won the victory over sin and death by the sacrifice He made on the Cross and through His resurrection. “For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.” Ephesians 6:12
Today, the global population feels like the victory is theirs, and that the formation of the one world government of the beast is inevitable. And it is, they will have that victory. However, global warming is in the world and is instrumental in bringing the destruction of the power center of the beast. When that happens, the beast that has power over physiology will no longer be functioning. There will no longer be any healing power and no power over life and death. The global culture will no longer be empowered with uncanny knowledge, heightened intuition, uncanny authority over others, nor extraordinary skills and talents etc.
Global warming is the Fourth Plague of Revelation 16:8-9, and the more powerful the United Nations become as the one world government the hotter and more intense the effect of global warming becomes. The destruction of the power center of the beast is the Fifth Plague of revelation 16:10-11. Then comes the Battle of Armageddon of the Sixth Plague of Revelation 16:12-16. Then comes the destruction of the earth in the Seventh Plague of Revelation 16:17-21 and the return of Jesus Christ when the Seventh Trumpet blows in Revelation 11:15-18.
As followers of Jesus Christ, we have the final victory, as we will say on the day of our resurrection, when Jesus returns, “The kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ, and He will reign forever and ever!” Revelation 11:15
Boastful and Blasphemous As he rules for “42 months”.
“And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months. And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme His name, and His tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.” Revelation 13:5-6
Click here for a post on Daniel 12:11-13 called “Count the Days”, which gives the exact timetable with additional information.
For “42 months”, the beast will have power and authority in this world to do whatever it wants. How do we know when those “42 months” have begun in this world? That is a period on earth when great things are spoken along with blasphemies against God, Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit, Christians, the Church, and those in Heaven. We are there! Great things are being spoken about the creation of the global culture, with peace and prosperity promised through the agenda of the United Nations. For them, establishing the one world government is a great thing. At the same time, the belief in God is blasphemed, the need for the forgiveness of sin through Jesus Christ is blasphemed, the presence of the Holy Spirit is blasphemed, Christians are blasphemed, the Church is blasphemed, and those in heaven are blasphemed.
The Holy Spirit says this about those speaking great things about creating an earthly Garden of Eden, “A day of darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds and thick darkness, like the morning clouds spread over the mountains. A people come, great and strong, the like of whom has never been; Nor will there ever be any such after them
…the land is like the Garden of Eden before them, and behind them a desolate wilderness; Surely nothing will escape them.” Joel 2:2-3
The great things being spoken and the blasphemies against God began in 1945, immediately after WW2. This is when the United Nations was created, and it brought the government of the beast with it. This was about the time when the “42 months” of the beast’s power and authority began in this world. This is described in Daniel 8:1-14 and Revelations 17. This is when the global falling away from God began to happen and the “son of perdition” entered the world.
“42 months” is “1260” days, which is the exact amount of time in which Christianity is driven into extinction, as quoted, “Then the woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared by God, that they should feed her there one thousand two hundred and sixty days.” Revelation 12:6 Click here for a post on the extinction of Christian births from Revelations 12. Also, the faithful but few witnesses for Jesus Christ share the Gospel of Jesus Christ with mourning in their heart for those “1260″ days, as quoted, “And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they will prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth. These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth.” Revelation 11:3-4 Click here for a post on the faithful but few witnesses.
The Bible plainly describes the “Two Witnesses” as being the, “…the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks….” Someone might say that 2+2=4, but the two olive trees are divided among two which makes one, and the two candlesticks are divided among two to make one. So, the one set of olive trees and candlesticks makes one, and the other set makes another one. The only question to ask is what are the “two olive trees” and “two candlesticks”? The olive trees represent the substance of the Holy Spirit, and the candlesticks represent the churches {a place where the Light of the world is to be placed]. Our body is the sanctuary of the Holy Spirit. In other words, the “Two Witnesses” are the faithful but few Holy Spirit filled Christians. Zachariah 4 specifically speaks about the Lamps and Olive Trees”.
When does the “42 months” of the power and authority of the beast end on this earth? It ends when the power center of the beast is plunged into darkness in the Fifth Plague of Revelations 16:10-11. Global warming is the fourth Plague of Revelations 16:8-9 and is instrumental in bringing the destruction of the power center of the beast. The more powerful the United Nations become as the one world government the hotter and more intense the effect of global warming becomes.
“O victory in Jesus, my Savior, forever. He sought me and bought me with His redeeming blood; He loved me ere I knew Him and all my love is due Him, He plunged me to victory, beneath the cleansing flood.” [Church Song]
Overcomes Christians and Conquers the World
“And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations. And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.” Revelation 13:7-8
The beast was given the authority to make war with the saints, and this authority is similar to the authority that Satan was given to make war with Job, as quoted, “There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job; and that man was blameless and upright, and one who feared God and shunned evil…Then the Lord said to Satan, “Have you considered My servant Job, that there is none like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man, one who fears God and shuns evil?” So Satan answered the Lord and said, “Does Job fear God for nothing? Have You not made a hedge around him, around his household, and around all that he has on every side? But now, stretch out Your hand and touch all that he has, and he will surely curse You to Your face!” And the Lord said to Satan, “Behold, all that he has is in your power…” Job 1:18-12
How are the saints overcome by Satan nowadays? By the power that the beast has over physiology to manipulate what people think, feel, say, and do. That beast is against belief in God, against the forgiveness of sin through Jesus Christ, and against the presence of the Holy Spirit. The beast will manipulate our thoughts away from God and to focus our mind on the cares of this world. The beast will make us feel things in every part of our body to entice us away from life in the Spirit and into fleshly pursuits. The beast will put words in our mouth that we wonder why we would ever say such a thing and fill our heart and mind with much guilt and many regrets. The beast will motivate our behavior against the way we should behave as followers of Jesus Christ. We can relate to what Paul said through the Holy Spirit, “For what I am doing, I do not understand. For what I will to do, that I do not practice; but what I hate, that I do.” Romans 7:15
The beast is living through the masses of people in every city around the world, and by what they say and do, they make war with Christians and the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Power is given to the beast over all the peoples and nations of the world, and everyone who lives on this planet serves him. Today’s culture, which is global, despises the message of the Cross. The Gospel of Christ is offensive to them because Jesus says they are sinners in need of the forgiveness of sin. Because of that, today’s culture has made war with belief in God, aggressively opposes the spread of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and oppresses the presence of the Holy Spirit [who convicts of sin]. They do all they can to convert the feelings, words, and behaviors of people away from God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. They want to convert us to integrate into the atheistic culture of the beast.
“…they defile the flesh, reject authority, and speak evil of dignitaries….These are spots in your love feasts, while they feast with you without fear, serving only themselves. They are clouds without water, carried about by the winds; late autumn trees without fruit, twice dead, pulled up by the roots; raging waves of the sea, foaming up their own shame; wandering stars for whom is reserved the blackness of darkness forever.” Jude 1:8, 12-13
Today’s culture overwhelms the churches by their numbers, and the Gospel of Jesus Christ has been tossed out as the churches have integrated with the agenda of the community values. The values of today’s culture dominate government lawmakers as the values of the Bible are no longer integrated into laws, policies, and executive orders. The agenda of today’s culture overcomes the educational system as the values of the Bible are prohibited from being taught in the classrooms. Today’s culture overwhelms the community as the spread of the Gospel of Jesus Christ is unwelcomed in every sector of society. Our Lord Jesus says, “I must work the works of Him who sent Me while it is day; the night is coming when no one can work. As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.” John 9:4-5
All the population of the world serves the beast except those whose names are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life. Our Lord Jesus says this, “Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.” Matthew 7:13-14 The Holy Spirits says to us, “Come out of her, my people, lest you share in her sins, and lest you receive of her plagues. For her sins have reached to heaven, and God has remembered her iniquities.” Revelation 18:4-5
“If any man has an ear, let him hear.
“If anyone has an ear, let him hear. He who leads into captivity shall go into captivity; he who kills with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.” Revelation 13:9-10
The one leading the global population into captivity is the beast with power over physiology to give people what to feel, do, say, and think. This beast replaces the conscience and spirit while oppressing the presence of the Holy Spirit, to hold captive any opposition to it. This beast, and everyone who serves it, will go into captivity, which is the captivity of the burning lake of fire.
The beast is killing with the “sword”, which is the sword that enters into the private chambers of physiology, and into thoughts and feelings. “It is the sword that slays, the sword that slays the great men, that enters their private chambers.” Ezekiel 21:14 Click here for a post on Ezekiel 21. This is the blasphemous beast that sits within the temple of God, our body “who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.” 2 Thessalonians 2:4 Click here for a post on the “son of perdition”.
The first beast [Revelation 13:2] and second beast [Revelation 13:11-12], also known as the false prophet, will be destroyed by our Lord Jesus Christ, as quoted, “And I saw the beast, the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against Him who sat on the horse and against His army. Then the beast was captured, and with him the false prophet who worked signs in his presence, by which he deceived those who received the mark of the beast and those who worshiped his image. These two were cast alive into the lake of fire burning with brimstone. And the rest were killed with the sword which proceeded from the mouth of Him who sat on the horse. And all the birds were filled with their flesh.” Revelation 19:19-21
Those who serve the beast will be killed by the sword even as they cut off the followers of Jesus Christ to persecute and kill them. Prophetically stated, those who serve the beast “…were killed with the sword which proceeded from the mouth of Him who sat on the horse. And all the birds were filled with their flesh.” Revelation 19:19-21
The patience of we who live for God through Jesus Christ, in the presence of the Holy Spirit, is knowing that judgment and defeat come to the government and culture of the beast. As our Lord Jesus says, “Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake. Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.” Matthew 5:11-12 With Paul we can say, “For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which will be revealed in us. For the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons of God.” Romans 8:18-19
It Uses the Soft Image of a Lamb: Beast with two horns like a lamb.
“And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spoke as a dragon. And he exercises all the power of the first beast before him and causes the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. And he doeth great wonders, so that he makes fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,” Revelation13:11-13
The second beast with two horns like a lamb is Satan’s version of the Holy Spirit and is the third member of Satan’s trinity. That beast is the subject of Revelations 13:11-17. The first beast is mentioned in Revelations 13:1-8 and is the second member of Satan’s trinity. The Dragon [Satan] of Revelation 13:4, is the father of the first and second beast. Similar to how God gives power and authority to Jesus Christ, Satan gives power and authority to the first beast. Similar to how the Holy Spirit draws people to Jesus Christ, the beast with two horns like a lamb draws all the world to the first beast.
Thus, Satan’s trinity is himself, the first beast, and the second beast. Which mimics the Trinity of God, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit. Satan, through the second beast, even sits in the temple, our body, as if he is God, “…who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.” 2 Thessalonians 2:4 Click here for a post on the “lawless one”, the “son of perdition”, the “man of sin”. God has created us, our body, to be the temple of the Holy Spirit, “Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God…” 1 Corinthians 6:19
The throne, where the beast with two horns like a lamb sets, is within the temple of God, our body. This second beast comes out of the earth, which refers to the earthy nature of the human body, such as rising from within the global population of this planet. This beast with two horns like a lamb is earthly but God’s Holy Spirit is heavenly, “He who comes from above is above all; he who is of the earth is earthly and speaks of the earth…” John 3:31 Satan’s version of the Holy Spirit does not inspire belief in the Heavenly things of God but is bound to earthly rationale with no hope of eternal life beyond the grave. The second beast arises from within the earthly human body by giving breath/life to the image of the beast to speak. This beast is given breath/life to speak by giving people what to say, think, feel, and do. Click here for a post on the image of the beast, Revelations 13:15.
Having two horns like a lamb is not referring to having two horns coming from the top of the head. Horns in the Bible represents power, authority and protection. For example, there are the horns of the Altar and the horns of the Ark of the Covenant. [Horns in the Bible are also musical instruments]. What are the two horns like a lamb of the beast? A lamb symbolizes being docile, meek, gentle, harmless, peaceable, etc. The horns of the beast would be two sources of power or authority that gives it an image of a lamb. Have you noticed the churchy sounding words coming out of the mouth of community and government leaders nowadays? Words like “peace,” “love,” “support,” “tolerance.” “democracy,” and on and on. They are portraying themselves like a lamb.
One of those horns of the beast with two horns like a lamb can be seen as being the image of Godliness, as portrayed by the churches, “…having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away!” 2 Timothy 3:5 The churches have abandoned the Gospel of Jesus Christ to partner themselves with the atheistic community culture. The other horn is humanism. Humanism is “…an outlook or system of thought attaching prime importance to human rather than divine or supernatural matters. Humanist beliefs stress the potential value and goodness of human beings, emphasize common human needs, and seek solely rational ways of solving human problems…”.
While the churches and humanism portray the two horns like a lamb of the second beast, it speaks like a dragon. It speaks with the agenda of Satan to oppose belief in God, scoff at the need for the forgiveness of sin through Jesus Christ, and to oppress the presence of the Holy Spirit. The beast with two horns like a lamb does the will of the first beast, which is described as, “Then he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme His name, His tabernacle, and those who dwell in heaven. It was granted to him to make war with the saints and to overcome them. And authority was given him over every tribe, tongue, and nation. All who dwell on the earth will worship him, whose names have not been written in the Book of Life of the Lamb…” Revelations 13:6-8
The beast, with two horns like a lamb, exercises all of the authority of the first beast on its behalf. The first beast was given power, a throne, and great authority. The beast with two horns like a lamb is Satan’s version of God’s Holy Spirit. God’s Holy Spirit exercises all of the authority of Jesus Christ upon this earth. When Jesus ascended into Heaven, He gave us the Holy Spirit, then when He returns, He will bring us home with Him. The Holy Spirit gives breath/life to Jesus Christ by enabling him to speak and live through us.
Th second beast, with two horns like a lamb, makes all the earth and its inhabitants serve the first beast. “And authority was given him over every tribe, tongue, and nation. All who dwell on the earth will worship him, whose names have not been written in the Book of Life of the Lamb...” Revelation 13:7-8 This is like the Holy Spirit who draws all people to serve Jesus Christ. The Gospel of Jesus has reached every continent across the globe. However, since the founding of the United Nations in 1945 [Daniel 8:1-14], there has been a global falling away [2 Thessalonians 2] from belief in God, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit. The United Nations brought the global government of the beast.
A fatal wound of the beast had been healed, which means something dead had come back to life. This also mirrors the fact that our Lord Jesus Christ laid dead in the grave for three days, then was resurrected to life, “He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, and by His stripes we are healed.” Isaiah 53:5 With power over physiology, and every cell of the human body, the power of life and death is in the hands of the beast. Our Lord Jesus Christ says, “...do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. But rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.” Matthew 10:28
The power of the beast does great wonders, and no wonder, the power over physiology, technology, and exterior elements are in its control. “The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders, and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie, that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.” 2 Thessalonians 2:9-12 Click here for a post on 2 Thessalonians 2.
The beast even has the power to make fire come down from heaven onto the earth for all the world to see. Nowadays, there is the “Space Force”, which is a military branch operating in space, among the satellites. Space is being weaponized so that fire can literally be rained down from the skies onto the earth, and people globally are well aware of this. Click here to read about Ezekiel’s vision of the space shuttle, space station, and space satellites of Ezekiel 1.
Deceitful in Persuading the World to Serve the Beast
“And deceives them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.” Revelation 13:14
The deceiver refers to the beast with two horns like a lamb, as described in the post on the beast with two horns like a lamb, Revelations 13:11-13. This is Satan’s version of the Holy Spirit. Coming across like a lamb and appearing to be Godly, the global population of this earth is deceived by it. That explains how the goals of the United Nations are used to deceive the peoples and nations to embrace the global government of the beast. The United Nations was formed immediately after WW2, in 1945, and brought the government of the beast with it, as described in Daniel 8:1-14 and Revelations 17.
The beast with power over physiology is Satan’s tool and enables powerful deception in the process of giving people what to think and feel. “The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders, and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie, that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.” 2 Thessalonians 2:9-12
The beast that deceives the world uses miracles to do so. Satan is trying to copy what God has done through Jesus Christ. That is like the power of the Spirit of God working through Jesus Christ to do physical miracles and raise the dead to persuade people to live for God. The beast with power over physiology has power over every cell in the body, and is able to do physical healings, with power over life and death, and to restore youth, etc. This is the same beast that is able to give people what to think, feel, say, and do. In the same way that the Holy Spirit works in the sight of our Lord Jesus Christ, the beast with two horns like a lamb works in conjunction with the first beast, relating to its power and authority.
As part of the beast’s deception, miracles, and persuasion, people are empowered with uncanny knowledge, heightened intuition, extraordinary skills and talents, amazing physical abilities, uncanny authority over others, physical comforts, sensual pleasure, etc. “There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death.” Proverbs 14:12 A conscience without the Holy Spirit is a destructive thing.
What exactly is the purpose for the power over physiology and the miracles being done by Satan’s version of the Holy Spirit [the beast with two horns like a lamb]? To cause everyone on this planet to make an image to the beast! What is the image of the beast? The image of the beast is what Satan’s version of the Holy Spirit gives the ability to speak, Revelation 13:15. The power over physiology is for the purpose of giving life to the image of the beast to speak through people in every city around the world. This is being done by the power to give people what to feel, think, and say. People in every city around the world are required to make an image of the beast within themselves by allowing it to speak and live through them. To make the image of the beast requires a person to blaspheme God, throw out the need for Jesus Christ, and to trample on the Holy Spirit.
In contrast to making an image to the beast by allowing it to speak through us, God wants us to be formed into the image of His Son Jesus Christ by the presence of the Holy Spirit in us.
“But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord. 2 Corinthians 3:18 Jesus Christ is the invisible image of God, “He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation.” Colossians 1:15 God wants us to be transformed into the image of Jesus, “For those whom He foreknew He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, in order that He might be the firstborn among many brothers.” Romans 8:29
The beast had a fatal wound, from a sword, but was brought back to life, Revelations 13:3, and all the inhabitants of the world are required to live for the image of that beast. In essence, Satan is saying we will be healed and find earthly life because of the death and resurrection of the beast. Again, this is Satan copying what our Lord Jesus Christ did for us by dying on the Cross to atone for sin and being resurrected to life after three days. “He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, and by His stripes we are healed.” Isiah 53:5
Satan copies everything that God does, including the trinity. The second beast, with two horns like a lamb, is Satan’s version of the Holy Spirit. The first beast is mentioned in Revelation 13:1. The dragon [Satan] gives the first beast its power, throne, and great authority, Revelation 13:2. The second beast, with two horns like a lamb, operates to give breath/life to the first beast by exercising its authority by giving people what to say, do, feel, and think. God has given Jesus Christ His power, throne, and great authority, and the Holy Spirit operates by allowing Jesus Christ to speak and live through us.
Life Given to the Image of the Beast
“And he had power to give breath unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.” Revelation 13:15
We know that technology and digital stuff do not have breath, but people do. So, the image of the beast is given breath to speak by speaking and living through people.
The second beast is Satan’s version of the Holy Spirit. This second beast gives breath to the image of the first beast to enable it to speak. This is similar to how the Holy Spirit enables Jesus Christ to speak through the breath in us. The first beast is mentioned in Revelation 13:1 which is given its power, throne, and great authority through the dragon, Revelation 13:2. Now, we see Satan’s trinity as being the Dragon [Satan] that gives the first beast its power, throne, and great authority, and the second beast that enables the first beast to speak. Satan is copying God’s Trinity. God has given power, a throne, and great authority to Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit enables Christ to speak through us.
What is the throne where the first beast sits and is given life to speak by the second beast? The throne is our heart and mind where it sets as God within the temple of God, our body, as if it is God. It sets within the temple of our body by giving people what to speak, think, feel, and do. This is the one “…who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.” 2 Thessalonians 2:4 Phrases such as “man of sin”, “lawless one”, and “son of perdition” describes this. Click here for a post on this subject. By giving people what to feel, think, and do, life is given to the image of the beast to speak through people in every city around the world. We know that technology and digital stuff do not have breath, but people do. So, the image of the beast is given breath to speak by speaking and living through people.
Whoever does not serve the first beast through the second beast is killed. In other words, whoever does not allow the image of the beast to speak and live through them is killed. Of course, everyone who are killed will not be receiving the mark, number, or name of the beast. In other words, welcoming the image of the beast to speak and live through a person is required in order to have the mark, number, or name of the beast. Those who welcome the beast to speak, think, feel, and act through them will be groomed for the mark, number, and name of the beast. “...and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.” Revelations 13:17
We are seeing the reality of this beginning to come into existence. That’s because the global government and its global culture are being governed by what they are given to say, do, think, and feel. Anyone who refuses to serve the image of the beast are rejecting the governing authority that lives within the physiology of people. To reject the government of the beast is to make a person an enemy of humanity, an enemy of the state, and an enemy of the global government. In other words, the followers of Jesus Christ are made outlaws for dedicating our body as the home of the Holy Spirit instead of being governed through the image of the beast that claims the human body as its territory.
Also, the beast that gives breath to the image of the beast to speak is the beast with two horns like a lamb, Revelations 13:11-13. The image of this beast is like a lamb, which is docile, meek, gentle, peaceable, etc. Anyone who refuses to serve the image of the beast are made to look opposite of what a lamb symbolizes. We are made to look like a threat to today’s culture, which is global. Today, as followers of Jesus Christ, we are out-of-sight and out-of-mind of the social network. Already, we are portrayed as enemies of humanitarian practices and soon will be portrayed as a terrorist threat and deserving of imprisonment and death. By portraying itself as a lamb, it is copying how Jesus is the “Lamb of God” and how the Holy Spirit came to Him in the form of a dove, “And the Holy Spirit descended in bodily form like a dove upon Him…” Matthew 3:22
Today, we are already seeing how Christians, the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and the entirety of Christianity are put out-of-sight and out-of-mind of today’s culture. The churches have abandoned the message of the Cross to align with the community agenda. Government lawmakers no longer integrate the values of the Bible in laws, policies, or executive orders. The educational system does not allow the values of the Bible to be taught in classrooms, and the spread of the Gospel of Christ is not welcomed in any sector of society. Click here for a post on the extinction of Christian births.
While the image of the beast speaks as Satan’s version of the Holy Spirit, it speaks against belief in God, scoffs at the need for the forgiveness of sin through Jesus Christ, and oppresses the presence of the Holy Spirit. The testimony of Jesus has no place in the global government of the beast nor within its global culture. All who refuse to serve the government and the community in the spirit of atheism are scheduled for extinction. “It was granted to him to make war with the saints and to overcome them. And authority was given him over every tribe, tongue, and nation. All who dwell on the earth will worship him, whose names have not been written in the Book of Life of the Lamb…” Revelation 13:7-8
Today’s use of the word “democracy” means to give freedom to the image of the beast to speak through the population of people in every city around the world. There is no democracy for Christianity. There is a war for the soul of individuals, Satan wants to make our body the home of his version of the Holy Spirit, the image of the beast, and God makes our body the home of the Holy Spirit. Those who reject the image of the beast are dead to the “democratic” society which has their life through the image of the beast. In essence, the followers of the image of Christ are considered useless and a liability to society and suffers all types of afflictions, persecutions, and death [at the hand of the psychotic “lamb”].
The Mark of the Beast.
“And he causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.” Revelation13:16-17
The “he” in the verse above is the beast who gives breath/life to the image of the beast to speak, and those who do not serve the image that is given breath to speak is to be killed, Revelations 13:15. This beast is the one who causes everyone to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, or they cannot buy or sell. The existence of the mark of the beast depends on the life of the image of the beast to have the breath to speak. The image of the beast is given life/breath to speak by speaking and living people. By what they are given to say and do they are being groomed to the mark, name, number of the beast. Without the ability of the beast to have breath and being able to speak, the mark of the beast does not exist. If the image of the beast is not served, people are killed, and the mark of the beast is no longer a factor. Receiving the mark of the beast depends on people’s willingness to serve the image of the beast that speaks and lives through them.
Three things happen relating to being able to, or not being able to, buy and sell, 1] Has to have the mark on the right hand or forehead. 2] Have the name of the beast. 3] Have the number of his name. These three things are what we are already seeing today in cities around the world.
The Mark: What is the mark of the beast? Did you know that God also has His mark that He puts on His people’s forehead? In that light, we should look at the mark of the beast in the same context as the mark of God, regarding whether this is a physical or spiritual marking. Where in the Bible is the mark of God spoken about? In at least three places. For one, “And the Lord said unto him, go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry for all the abominations that be done in the midst thereof.” Ezekiel 9:4 Click here for a post on Ezekiel 9. God also sets His seal on the foreheads of His people, as quoted, “Do not harm the earth, the sea, or the trees till we have sealed the servants of our God on their foreheads.” Revelation 7:3 and also here, “They were commanded not to harm the grass of the earth, or any green thing, or any tree, but only those men who do not have the seal of God on their foreheads.” Revelation 9:4
In light of the above paragraph, we can be certain that the mark of God and the mark of the beast are not a physical marking, but relates to the mind, spirit, and soul. In the Bible, the right hand refers to a powerful position of doing service for a greater power, like being someone’s “right-hand person”. In this light, the mark on the right hand refers to what a person does for the beast. That involves being empowered by the beast with extraordinary talents, skills, physical abilities, uncanny authority over others, etc. The mark on the forehead refers to living by the thoughts given by the beast, which includes being empowered with uncanny knowledge, heightened intuition, etc. By what a person says and does they are groomed to the mark of the beast within their mind, spirit, and soul. The beast with power over physiology to give people what to speak, do, think, and feel gives life to the image of the beast to speak and live through people as they are groomed to the mark of the beast by what they are given to say and do.
The number of his name: What is the number of the beast’s name? Click here for a post on the number of the beast is the number of a man”. The number is “6-6-6”. Rejecting God is one “6”, rejecting Jesus Christ is the other “6”, and rejecting the Holy Spirit is the third “6”. The government of the beast and its global culture is built on and united through the “6-6-6”. Being a number is to describe the beast as an artificial, non-spiritual entity that molds with human physiology by governing through the thoughts, feelings, words, and behaviors of people. Basically, people are becoming more like flesh-and-blood human robots than genuine people living in the Spirit.
With that said, the non-spiritual and artificial nature of the number of the beast corresponds to the age of AI [Artificial Intelligence] and the entire technological age. That includes the digital I.D. and digital currency that nations around the world are beginning to implement. The digital I.D. will enable people to be identified as members of the society of the beast to determine their eligibility for digital currency. If they are not recognize as citizens of the community of the beast then they will not be credited with digital currency. If a person does not have a digital I.D., they would be be considered as not serving the image of the beast, and as a “rebel” against allowing the beast to speak and live through them. That would end up with imprisonment and eventually death, if resistance to the government of the beast continued.
As followers of Jesus Christ, we oppose the atheistic culture of the beast. We believe God our Creator, acknowledge Jesus as the Christ and our Lord, and we welcome the presence of the Holy Spirit.
Even today, the ability to buy and sell is plagued with conflict and difficulty whenever the people of the community are not supportive. If they do not perceive that we are allowing the beast to live and speak through us, then buying and selling becomes plagued with “thorns” and “briers”. That will become more severe as the cashless society comes into full play and the free flow of cash between individuals dwindles to a stop. In the United States, the framework for the digital currency has been passed into law and is called the “GENIUS Act” The president has aspirations of making the United States the crypto capital of the world. Click here to read a post on the GENIUS Act.
When Social Security numbers were issued, people felt that was the number of the beast because no one could work without one. Without work there is no ability to buy and without buying there is nothing to sell. Even then, the social security number by itself, nor a digital I.D. by itself, nor digital currency by itself is able to reach into the heart, soul, and mind of people. With external devices, we are still able to live for God internally through Jesus Christ in the presence of the Holy Spirit. I worked for 44 years with a social security number and shared the Gospel of Jesus Christ for many of those working years. Therefore, with the “number of his name”, comes the “mark of his name” [as described above], and the “name of the beast” [as described in the coming section]. All of that relates to power over physiology to impose on people what to think, feel, say and do in order to silence the Gospel of Jesus Christ. That is something external means cannot do, such as social security numbers, external technological devices, and even microchips of every type.
The digital dollar and digital I.D. are very compatible to the mark of the beast [mentioned in the previous section]and name of the beast [mentioned in next section]. That’s because being a citizen and earning currency depends on loyalty to the global government based on living for the beast that gives them what to speak, do, think, and feel. Digital currency and the digital I.D. allow direct credits to be deposited into a bank account, on a card, or some other device according to the assigned wages of a person’s mark and who they are in the eyes of the governing authority. There is no cash flowing through society whatsoever. Cash becomes illegal contraband. The digital currency is even programmable to control and set limits on buying and selling.
The name of the beast: That is the same as the followers of Jesus Christ who live in His name. It is written, “...that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth…” Philippians 2:10 The beast requires all people on earth to fall down and worship the image of the beast or be killed. The name of the beast will be to globally unite the population under the “mark of his name” and the “number of his name”. This is like the name of Jesus who unites God to every Believer through the Holy Spirit. The name of the beast will be recognized by every person in every city around the world. This name would be similar to the “Global Republic of the Beast”, except the word “Beast” will be excluded and it will be a lamb-like name to flatter the global culture and global government. In other words, instead of each nation singing their own national anthem, they will be singing the global national anthem, to the glory of the name of the beast, in every city around the world. That is how the global culture is united under one “name”.
The name of the beast also corresponds to who we are as individuals, according to how our name aligns to the “6-6-6”. If people perceive that our name is not aligned to the will of the beast, and we are not supportive of the image of the beast speaking and living through us, then our name is disrespected. Those of today’s culture will mispronounce our name, call us by a different name, call us derogatory names, misspell our name, etc. in order to share their disapproval of any name not “belonging” to the beast. Respect, dignity, honor, flattery, kindness, etc. are shown towards the name of people who allow the beast to speak and live through them. They show no respect, dignity, nor honor for anyone who desires the Christ, Jesus, to live and speak through us by the presence of the Holy Spirit.
The system of the beast wants our heart, mind, soul, and all physical needs to be dependent on the government of the beast. As followers of Jesus Christ, we dedicate our heart, mind and soul to God through Jesus Christ in the presence of the Holy Spirit. We want the image of Jesus Christ to speak and live through us, we want the Holy Spirit to be the I.D. stamped upon our heart, and we want to be known as the children of the King of all kings.
Think of the uniform of a football player in the NFL. The name, “NFL” is on the uniform to show who they play for, the number is on the uniform to I.D. the player, and the mark is the uncanny physical abilities and knowledge each player has for their specific position on the team. That is the uniform that the global government wants to put its citizens in who are in every city around the world. That is the uniform of the mark, name, and number of the beast. That is the uniform of the global culture.
Today, people in every city around the world are living by the beast that is given breath/life to speak by speaking and living through them. The digital I.D. and digital currency are already being implemented in countries around the world. And the people are already looking to the United Nations for their identity as a global culture, which is seen through the Sustainable Development Goals. Today, the population of the world are denying God, scoffing at the need for Jesus Christ, and opposing the presence of the Holy Spirit.
Even today, people who refuse to welcome the beast to speak and live through them are given negative feedback from the social network. Positive feedback is given for those who are receptive to the agenda for the mark, number, and name of the beast. Behavior modification is being used to mandate living by the beast that speaks and lives through people and grooms them to the mark, name, number of the beast by what they are given to say and do. Behavior modification is to give positive vibes for wanted behaviors and negative vibes for unwanted. To be cut off from social approval is to be cut off from adequate work, functional relationships, social interactions, etc. That is death in many ways, and the psychotic “lamb” is very much active today. .
By what people are given to say and do, they are also being groomed to their station in life, to their place of service to the community. Not everyone is empowered with the same uncanny knowledge and extraordinary skills as another person. People are given what to say, do, think, and feel to empower them for a specific task in life “for the good of all within the community [of the beast]”. Not everyone is empowered the same as government leaders and even government leaders do not have the ability to be a successful janitor. Some janitors have an extraordinary talent for their job with uncanny knowledge and intuition about their work. They excel in what they do with plenty of social approval. Each person has a specific mark by which to live, and by what they say and do are groomed to their mark in life, groomed to the mark of the beast. If a person is not living by the mark, name, number of the beast then they will find it difficult to find adequate, productive, and successful employment. They will be considered “non-compliant” to the community purpose and be met with hostile social disapproval, affecting their ability to buy and sell. That is where we are at today, but becomes much more severe in the days to come, when the United Nations become the undisputed one world government of the beast.
If a person tries to deviate or break from the mark, or name, or number of the beast, then they do not have the needed skills and knowledge to succeed in life. The ability to buy and sell steeply declines. People of the culture of the beast will shy away from buying anything from us or selling anything to us. That is where we are at today….
Everyone who is groomed to the mark of the beast shares a common trait—they are receptive to its number and name through what they are led to say and do. They do not believe in the living God, they scoff at the need for the forgiveness of sin through Jesus Christ, and they oppress the presence of the Holy Spirit. From this, we see why the spread of the Gospel of Jesus Christ is being prohibited in every sector of society. That is why the followers of Jesus Christ do not excel at the workplace, and why Christianity is being killed and put into extinction [as described in Revelations 12] Even today, Christians have limited ability to buy and sell, mainly because of the inability to succeed at the workplace and to hold a job. That’s because we embrace the values of the Bible in an atheistic culture and we live for the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
As long as people are living by the mark of the beast and are receptive to the number and name of the beast, today’s social network shows them love, support, peace, and tolerance. But this is far from the love, support, peace, grace, and mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ in the presence of the Holy Spirit. Christians are despised for believing this verse, “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” John 3:16
The mark, number, and name of the beast is not a computer chip implanted in the hand or in the forehead. The fate of the global government of the beast and its global culture is not going to be placed in the hands of microchip manufacturers. Destroying the global government of the beast is not as easy as sabotaging microchip factories. The government of the beast is destroyed starting with global warming, which is the Fourth Plague. The end of this world’s system comes by the wrath of God and the return of Jesus Christ. Any external device or marks, such as microchips, has no impact on us as the temple of the Holy Spirit. That is how we know the mark of the beast is internalized through the image of the beast that speaks and lives through people. By this internalization, people become receptive to the number and name of the beast.
The battle is for the soul and there are no physical devices (like computer chips) which can alter our devotion to God through Jesus Christ. The beast wants to sit in the temple of God, our body, by forming what we say, do, feel, and think, [2 Thessalonians 2:4]. The image of the beast is given life/breath to speak by speaking and living through people and by what they are given to say and do they are conformed to the mark of the beast [and therefore receptive to the number and name of the beast]. By choosing to live for it, people deny God. We are to devote our body as the temple of the Holy Spirit, nothing else.
The beast has power over physiology and has an extraordinary bank of knowledge, intelligence, intuition, and bits of information. This power causes people to live by the mark of the beast by what they are given to say and do. They are receptive to the number and name of the beast. Its source of knowledge far surpasses [and dominates] any technological device, desktop computer, smartphones, televisions, servers, Alexa, Siri, or any other chip device. Such technology is a tool to mandate the mark of the beast [and his number and name] to every single person in every city around the world. Such technology is part of the programming of each person of the global population, to conform them to the designation of the mark, number, and name of the beast.
Any informational chip implanted on the body would be substandard to the beast currently working in this world through physiology. Additionally, hackers would have a field day hacking into the implanted chip to cause havoc to the system of the global government of the beast. Everyone knows that this present system, with power over physiology to form what people say and do, doesn’t seem to be vulnerable to hacking and power outages, so the masses of people around the world are definitely not going to have their existence be downgraded to a computer chip. Click here to read what Ezekiel says about space technology and satellites. Also, people would be digging a chip out of their body or finding ways to have it surgically removed at home. The mark of the beast is not something internally physical that can be tampered with.
Global warming plays a role in destroying the power center of the beast. The intensity of global warming is the Fourth Plague and the failure of the power center of the beast is the Fifth Plague. With the power center of the beast being down and out, the beast will be powerless to conform people to the mark of beast by what they are given to say and do. The number and the name of the beast will be meaningless. In the powerlessness of the government of the beast, masses of people around the world will be out for revenge against the government they once served. That leads to the Battle of Armageddon, which is the Sixth Plague.
The fourth angel poured out his bowl on the sun, and the sun was allowed to scorch people with fire. They were seared by the intense heat, and they cursed the name of God, who had control over these plagues, but they refused to repent and glorify him.
The fifth angel poured out his bowl on the throne of the beast, and its kingdom was plunged into darkness. People gnawed their tongues in agony and cursed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, but they refused to repent of what they had done.”Revelation 16:8-11
The number “666” unites the person with the beast.
“Let him that hath understanding calculate the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.” Revelation 13:18
The phrase, “Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast…” is letting us know that the beast is not spiritual in nature nor is it of the human spirit. The beast relates to a number, and is not known through the spirit, and that number is applied to a “man”. That number is “666” and symbolizes opposition to the Spirit of God. This involves unbelief in the Living God [6], discarding the need for the forgiveness of sin through Jesus Christ [6], and opposing the presence of the Holy Spirit [6]. One thing known about today’s culture, which is global, is that they deny God, discard the need for Jesus Christ, and oppose the Holy Spirit.
The word “man” as an individual would imply that just one person on this earth has absolute control over the government of the beast. If that was the case, we could assume that the global government of the beast would not last much over a hundred years, if that long [Nobody lives on this earth for much over a hundred years]. “Man” as an individual person would mean that all of the events of the Seven Seals [Revelations 6], the Seven Trumpets, [Revelations 8, 9, 11], and the Seven Plagues [Revelations 16] would happen within the span of 100 years. As is evident, God brings His judgment onto this world, which means the government of the beast doesn’t pass away into oblivion by the death of one, nor is any one person assassinated as a way to defeat the government of the beast.
Global warming is in the world today and has been talked about for over thirty years. Global warming is the Fourth Plague of revelation 16:8-9 and is instrumental in bringing the destruction of the power center of the beast [Revelations 16:10-11 of the Fifth Plague]. The more powerful the United Nations become as the one world government the hotter and more intense the effect of global warming becomes.
The word, “man,” in the phrase “the number of the man”, refers to “mankind,” or humanity. The masses of people around the world are the “man” who bonds with the beast through the “666.” Their number is “666” because they blaspheme God, reject Jesus Christ, and trample on the Holy Spirit. The number of the beast is the number of the “man”.
The beast is artificial, appears through human reasoning, is worldly, and is associated with human physiology without the spirit. That is exactly how Satan operates, he sets out to destroy the Spirit of God and the human spirit. We live in a technological age that controls every aspect of the lives of people around the world. Space technology was seen by Ezekiel when in a vision he saw the space shuttle, the space station, and the space satellites, click here to read what Ezekiel says about space technology and satellites. Technology has become intertwined with people everywhere, and we can safely say that the number of the beast is the number of the “man”.
“God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.” John 4:24
In today’s technological age, people in every city around the world embrace the image of the beast that is given breath/life to speak and live through them. By what they are given to say and do, they put forth the image of the “666” by their unbelief in God [6], scoffing at the need for Jesus Christ [6], and opposing the presence of the Holy Spirit [6]. The “666” bonds a person to the beast from within their physiology. To break from the bond of the beast is to break away from today’s culture of the beast. Coming apart from them is simply by believing in the Living God, acknowledging our need for Jesus Christ, and desiring to live in the presence of the Holy Spirit.

The Bible consistently gives human traits to the beast and bonds the two together, as described below,
- Eyes and Mouth Like a Human Being: “This horn had eyes like the eyes of a human being and a mouth that spoke boastfully.” Daniel 7:8 People everywhere are constantly boasting, “We see,” or “We know”, or ““Who is like the beast? Who is able to make war with him?”
- Has Breathe and a Mouth to Speak: Breathe is what gives us the ability to speak by the air in the lungs. The image of the beast is given breath with a mouth to speak, and the ability to speak suggests a form of intelligence, “The second beast was given power to give breath to the image of the first beast, so that the image could speak.” Revelation 13:15 Again, Satan tries to imitate everything that Jeus Christ and God does by giving the breath of life. Speaking of Jesus Christ, “And with that He breathed on them and said, “Receive the Holy Spirit.” John 20:22 And God breathed life into Adam, “Then the Lord God formed a man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being.” Genesis 2:7
- Human and False God are Twins: This is found in Acts 28:11-13 where it mentions the ship sailing towards the world capital having the sign of the twins, one a human and one a god. Castor is the human and Pollux is the god. The human part would be the flesh and blood person while the god part would be the beast that forms what people say, do, think, and feel, to enable the image of the beast to live and speak through us. As twins, they share a common bond, the bond of the “666”.
- Paul and Barnabas considered to be Zeus and Hermes: This is found in Acts 4:11-12. Zeus is considered the god above every god and considered to be the ruler of gods and humans. Hermes is considered the messenger of gods and is able to move quickly and freely between the human world and the realm of the gods. Zeus symbolizes the entity that sets itself above all gods, and God Himself, with its power to govern through what people speak, do, think, and feel. Hermes represents human beings who are messengers for the entity giving them what to think, feel, say, and do.
- Beast and the Person the Same: The person is not only meshed with the beast but also shares the beast’s “666” character. The bond between the person and the beast is brought out in Revelation 17:3-6. The beast is scarlet, and the person sitting on the beast is dressed in scarlet. It would be near impossible to distinguish one from the other, or where one left off and the other began. Also, it uses wealth to persuade and has a cup filled with abominations which is the “666” of the beast being revealed through a person.
The “666” is blaspheme and denial of God (one “6”), discarding the need for Jesus Christ (one “6”), and trampling on the Holy Spirit (one “6”). It leaves a person filled with abominations. The “666” is what bonds the beast [that forms thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and speech] to the person. That bond is broken when we believe in God, acknowledge the need for the remission of sin through Jesus Christ, and embrace the Holy Spirit.
The purple represents treating people like royalty, or like a god, if they live by the beast that forms their thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and speech “There I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast that was covered with blasphemous names and had seven heads and ten horns. The woman was dressed in purple and scarlet, and was glittering with gold, precious stones and pearls. She held a golden cup in her hand, filled with abominable things and the filth of her adulteries.” - Number of the beast is the number of the person: The number of the beast is the number of a man. “Man” represents “mankind” or humanity as a whole. The beast and the person are bonded as one by the beast giving people what to say, do, think, and feel. “This calls for wisdom. Let the person who has insight calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man. That number is 666.” Revelation 13:18
By using the term “calculate” to describe the bond between the beast and the person, we are being made aware that the beast forming what we think, feel, do, and speak is not spiritual but artificial. Calculations are consistent with Artificial Intelligence and space technology, satellites, etc. Basically, people are being made into flesh and blood robots by the artificial entity that has power over physiology and can form our thoughts, emotions, feelings, and behaviors. Click here for a post on the space shuttle, space station, and space satellites from Ezekiel 1.
The number “666” represents the blasphemy committed in the partnership of the beast and the global culture of the beast. They are bonded together in their denial of God (6), rejection of Jesus Christ (6), and blaspheme against the Holy Spirit (6).

It will teach!’ Behold, it is overlaid with gold and silver…” Click here for a post on Habakkuk 2:18-20
- Our Body is the Temple of God Where It Sets. “Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?” 1 Corinthians 3:16 And speaking of the beast that governs from within our thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and what we say, “…he opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.” The “he” in this verse is the “man of sin”. Click here for a post on the “man of sin”.
- The superhumans are a mix of humans and “sons of God”. In Genesis 6:1-7, it speaks of the Nephilim who are superhumans born by crossbreeding the “sons of God” with humans. That represents the superhumans of today who are a crossbreed of human beings with the beast that forms what they think, feel, do, and say.
- Goddess Diana is believed to be sent to earth by Zeus. This is prophetic for the beast sent to earth by Satan to rule by speaking and living through people, as described in the post on Acts 19:35
