The mark, name, and number of the beast and the ability to buy and sell.

Revelation 13:16-17

“He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, 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.” Revelation 13:16-17

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, and no one can buy or sell unless they have the name, number, mark of the beast. The existence of the mark, name, and number of the beast depends on the image of the beast having the breath to speak. The image of the beast is given life/breath to speak through people and by what people are given to say and do they are being groomed to the mark, number, and name of the beast. Without the ability of the beast to have breath to speak through people, the mark, name, and number of the beast does not exist. If the image of the beast is not served, people are killed, and the mark, name, and number of the beast are no longer a factor. Receiving the mark, name, number of the beast depends on people’s willingness to welcome the image of the beast to speaks and live through them.

Three things happen relating to being able to, or not being able to, buy and sell, 1] Has to have the mark of the beast. 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 here, “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 Then there is this verse, “Then I looked, and behold, the Lamb standing on Mount Zion, and with Him one hundred and forty-four thousand, having His Father’s name written on their foreheads.” Revelations 14:1.

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. These are people 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, these are people with uncanny knowledge, heightened intuition, etc. The beast with power over physiology to give people what to say, 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 of the beast is “6-6-6”, “His number is 666.” Revelations 13:18 This represents unbelief in God [6], the rejection of Jesus Christ [6], and opposition to the Holy Spirit [6]. Referring to the beast as having a number is letting us know that this entity is artificial. Artificial in that there is no compatibility to the human spirit, human emotions, nor to the presence of the Holy Spirit. Click here for a post on building the “Tower of Babel” with the untempered mortar of “6-6-6”.

When Social Security numbers were issued, people felt that was the number of the beast because no one could work without one. This is the nature of the digital I.D. and digital currency being implemented today. 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., nor digital currency is able to reach into the heart and mind of people. We are still able to live for God through Jesus Christ in the presence of the Holy Spirit. Therefore, with the “number of his name”, comes the “mark of the beast” [as described above], and the “name of the beast” [as described in the coming section].

The digital I.D. and digital currency that nations around the world are beginning to implement, as requirements for being recognized as a citizen nationally, will be applied globally. Even today, the ability to buy and sell is plagued with conflict and difficulty whenever the people of the community are not supportive. This 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.

The digital dollar and digital I.D. are very compatible to the mark and name of the beast because earning is centered on the “6-6-6” as people live by the entity giving them what to speak, do, feel, and think [and carrying the name of the beast as seen in the next section].

The digital currency and the digital I.D. allow direct credits to be deposited into a bank account according to the assigned wages of those living by the 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 global government of the beast is already setting up the foundations to implement it, including Russia and the United States. In the year 2025, the president of the United States signed a bill into law to make the United States the “crypto capital of the world”. This is called the “GENIUS Act”. Click here to read a post on the GENIUS Act.

The name of the beast: This 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.

A person’s name is required to align with the beast that sets in the temple of God, our body. If our name is off the mark, then people will mispronounce it, not feel right about us, not show respect or honor towards us, will not interact with us in a welcoming way, avoid saying the name, call us a different name, etc. In other words, if our name isn’t aligned right then it reveals we are not part of the today’s culture of the beast. For example, when the name of Jesus Christ is said with reverence and respect [in the presence of the Holy Spirt] His name is detested by those living for the beast that gives them what to feel, think, do, and speak. “Therefore I make known to you that no one speaking by the Spirit of God calls Jesus accursed, and no one can say that Jesus is Lord except by the Holy Spirit.” 1 Corinthians 12:3

Also, the name of the beast will be to globally unite the population of the global culture under the “mark of the beast” and the “number of the beast”. 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.

The mark of the beast, the number of the beast, and the name of the beast are being formed even as I type this. People will not be able to buy or sell if we do not allow the beast to speak and live through us, or if we refuse to live according to unbelief in God [6], rejection of Jesus Christ [6], opposition to the Holy Spirit [6], or we do not pledge our allegiance to the “flag” [or name] of the global government, or if our name does not align to the beast that lives within physiology to give people what to say, do, think, and feel.

In other words, 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 number is on the uniform, the name is on the uniform, and each player has the mark [or position] that they are assigned to according to the physical abilities and knowledge they are endowed with. That is the uniform that the global government wants to put its citizens in who are in every city around the world. They want us to be uniform in the mark, number, and name of the beast. That is the global culture of the beast being formed today.

Today, people in every city around the world are living by the beast that is given breath/life by speaking and living through them. A person’s name is respected when it aligns with the “6-6-6” of unbelief in God, rejection of Jesus Christ, and opposition to the Holy Spirit. The global population despise belief in God, scoff at the need for Jesus Christ, and opposes the presence of the Holy Spirit. The digital I.D. and digital currency are already being implemented in countries around the world to gain control of buying and selling. This benefits the global culture of the beast but ostracizes the followers of Jesus Christ. People are already looking to the United Nations for their identity as a global culture, which is seen through the Sustainable Development Goals. Today, every nation pledges allegiance to the flag of their nation, but under the one world government there will be one “flag” that people pledge their allegiance to, the “flag” of the global government of the beast.

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, and number of the beast by what they are given to say and do. People are readied to live by the number, name, and mark of the beast. 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. This is literally slow death.

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 position in the community by which to live, and by what they say and do are groomed to their station in life. Groomed to the number, name, mark of the beast. If a person is not living by their designated position, 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.

Even newborn babies, young children, and life in the womb are under the influence of the beast that controls their sounds, movements, emotions, and thoughtful looks. Already, they are being groomed to speak and do according to what they will become in the function of today’s culture. Jesus says, “It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were thrown into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones.” Luke 17:2

If a person tries to deviate or break from the number, name, mark of the beast, they become rebels, outcasts, difficult to manage, and even troublemakers to today’s culture. Breaking from the assigned position means the person does 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.

Everyone who is groomed to the name, number, mark of the beast shares a common trait—They do not believe in the living God [6], they scoff at the need for the forgiveness of unbelief through Jesus Christ [6], and they oppress the presence of the Holy Spirit [6]. From this, we see why the spread of the Gospel of Jesus Christ is being prohibited in every sector of society. This 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 name, number, mark 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 are 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 are 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, have no impact on us as the temple of the Holy Spirit. That is how we know the mark, number, name of the beast is internalized through the image of the beast that speaks and lives through people. By this internalization, people are groomed to the number, mark, 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 by speaking and living through people and by what they are given to say and do they are conformed to the mark, name, number 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, name, number of the beast by what they are given to say and do. Its source of knowledge far surpasses [and dominates] any technological device, desktop computer, server, Alexa, Siri, television [which are in every home around the world], or any other chip device. Such technology is a tool to mandate the mark, name, number of the beast 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 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. The more powerful the United Nations become as the one world government the hotter and more intense the effects of global warming becomes. With the power center of the beast being down and out, the beast will be powerless to conform people to the mark, name, and number of the beast by what they are given to say and do. 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

“….to you who do not hold to her teaching and have not learned Satan’s so-called deep secrets,“
‘I will not impose any other burden on you, except to hold on to what you have until I come.’”
“I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your crown.”
Revelation 2:24-25, 3:1
