13:11 I saw another beast coming up out of the earth. He had two horns like a lamb, and he spoke like a dragon.
Lots of folks misunderstand the False Prophet and his role but he is a very important figure!
He is "another beast" so this is not simply another moniker of the Rex Mundi as some suppose. This is another individual who will appear on the world stage.
Like the Beast, the False Prophet will hold authority, but less than the Rex Mundi. Note that he only has two "horns" and he serves the Beast.
While the False Prophet will resemble a "lamb" he will speak with the power and authority of the Dragon, Lucifer. The following statement that he exercises his power "in the presence of the beast" shows the source of his power.
Imam Madhi and Jesus?
It is worth noting here that according to Islam, Imam Madhi: a physical descendant of Muhammad Mustafa, will be on the Earth and working with Jesus to revert the world to Islam during this same period. Muslim prophecies are similar yet fundamentally different from than those of the Bible. Don't be confused by the similarities. Based on this belief however, some have theorized that the Rex Mundi will be (seen as) Imam Madhi and his False Prophet -- who looks like a lamb -- will be presented to the public as the Second Coming of Jesus. While this is an interesting theory we know that al Qu'ran is a plagiarized work of fiction (from the Bible, the Zoroastrian Avesta and the Indian Vedas) rather than being given by God as Islam claims. Al Qu'ran is a work of plagiarized deception. So in this study we are not basing our understandings on the Muslim prophecies.
Having said that, Rex Mundi is going to be accepted by the majority of Muslims as well as by the majority Nicean Christians, Jews, Hindus and others. This could be the hook that will cause Islam to accept him. Muslims may be told that the Great Leader is Imam Madhi and that his assistant is the returned Jesus. This is worth consideration as these events begin to unfold, but I would not put a lot of stock in the possibility. And, if this is the case, the claim certainly should not lead any follower of the One True God to embrace Islam nor accept this imposture.
What we know of the False Prophet
What we know from the Bible is that this False Prophet will direct all worship to Rex Mundi as Moshiach. From what we are told about the False Prophet his identity is all but certain as we will see below.
13:12 He exercises all the authority of the first beast in his presence. He makes the earth and those who dwell in it to worship the first beast, whose fatal wound was healed.
Because of the wording at Revelation 13:3 that "One of his heads looked like it had been wounded fatally..." some say this refers to some political loss rather than a physical assassination. This verse, 13:12, confirms what was said above. The Beast will be fatally wounded -- he will die -- and then that wound will be healed as he rises from the dead as Lucifer Incarnate.
There is an important statement here that is easily missed: ... He makes the earth and those who dwell in it to worship the first beast. There are a couple of things worth noting here. First, 'all those who dwell on the Earth' shows again that this is to be a global enslavement. These things will not be limited to the Middle East. A bit more subtle is the statement that the False Prophet will make the inhabitants of Earth worship the beast. One can force religious compliance but worship is a matter of the heart, soul and mind. As we will see below however this clause is going to be literally fulfilled! Bear it in mind as we continue.
13:13 He performs great signs, even making fire come down out of the sky to the earth in the sight of people. 13:14 He deceives my own people who dwell on the earth because of the signs he was granted to do in front of the beast; saying to those who dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast who had the sword wound and lived.
Imagine the Pope standing in Saint Peter's Basilica and declaring that the Second Coming of Jesus has occurred! He raises his arms and lightening and balls of fire fall from the heavens bathing him in glory and confirming his declarations! This is what the False Prophet will do! This is the kind of power he will display! Now imagine seeing the Pope doing such acts while surrounded by the most influential and respected clerics of all the world's religions and by all the regional heads of government! Now see as he points to the man, probably seated on a gloriously decorated dais, who has established world peace, who has ended hunger, cured most diseases, ended global warming, caused the Temple in Jerusalem to be rebuild and who is, according to the Jews, the long awaited Moshiach!
Now imagine saying, "No! This Pope is the False Prophet! Imagine standing up and proclaiming that all those assembled religious and political leaders are either deceived or in cahoots with him! Imagine yourself pointing at the Leader of the united Planet Earth and declaring that the man all the world is glorifying is in reality the Devil incarnate!
Can you imagine this?
That's what we will be called upon to do if we live long enough!
It will seem insane to oppose the Golden One, but oppose him we must! We need to strengthen our faith now!
Based on the Majority Text source materials rather than the Textus Receptus (from which the KJV is translated), the World English Bible (and my NNB) has verse 14 as: "He deceives my own people who dwell on the earth." The King James Version of the Textus Receptus has this as "And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth." If the first reading is the accurate one this is another example of the New Testament's continuing reference to the Jews as the People of HaShem. God has not and will never abandon His Elect (Romans 11:1 etc).
In either case, the False Prophet will deceive the vast majority of people, including "my own people": the Jews, and most everyone will embrace the Rex Mundi. Comparatively few will oppose him.
13:15 It was given to him to give breath to it, to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause as many as wouldn't worship the image of the beast to be killed.
I've mentioned this idol before in this study. While the text does not directly say this, it seems safe to assume that there will be one main image or idol of the Beast, probably located in Rome originally but then moved to Jerusalem as Rex Mundi commits the Abomination of Desolation. The idol may be a duplicate of Rex Mundi's person (as I expect) or it may be the image Daniel described in his book (Dan. 2:31) -- or Daniel may have seen the image of Rex Mundi and based his interpretation on it. Rex Mundi will be, as we have discussed, the end result of centuries of planning and effort.
-- by Clarence Larkin in Dispensational Truth
This murti or idol will be animated by Lucifer himself as we will discuss below! The image will move, it will make declarations and proclamations, it will impart blessings and decree punishments. We can further assume that small copies of the image will be mass produced and that people will have shrines in their homes and in their places of business. There will surely be ritual requirements, daily prayers and so on as we will see below.
The Mark of the Beast.
-- by Clarence Larkin in Dispensational Truth
13:16 He causes all, the small and the great, the rich and the poor, and the free and the slave, to be given marks on their right hands, or on their foreheads; 13:17 and that no one would be able to buy or to sell, unless he has that mark, the name of the beast or the number of his name. 13:18 Here is wisdom. He who has understanding, let him calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man. His number is six hundred sixty-six.
The King James Version translates these important verses as:
13:16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: 17 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. 18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.
First the number. It is written in various ways: 666, six six six, Six hundred threescore and six, six hundred and sixty six...
The number is chi xi stigma
Chi: "khee," the 22nd letter equals 600 Xi: "xee" the 14th letter equals 60 Stigma: stig-ma is an obsolete letter that equals 6
Therefore the number equals: 666 however it is written.
There has been a lot of speculation into what the number means. For brevity I will refrain from going into the various theories in too much detail. It is worth noting in passing however that:
Chi written in Greek as X or x was used in ancient time to denote Y'shua as I discuss in my study IHS Chi-Rho and the Name of Master Y'shua. This usage lives on today as people write Xmas instead of Christmas and so on.
Xi developed as the sound ks and ksi. It is noteworthy to this study that xi (uppercase Ξ, lowercase ξ) is used in Stoichiometry to denote the extent of reaction in chemical engineering.
Likewise stigma (uppercase Ϛ, lowercase ϛ) reflects a mark incised or punched as recognition of ownership or as a "scar or mark of service" as Strong's Concordance tells us (4742). The letter is a combination of the Greek letters sigma and tau.
The meaning of these letters/numbers I think is obvious considering what I will present next.
In this study I endeavor to stick carefully to the text rather than inject personal interpretations (of course that is impossible to do completely). I have however had several dreams, non-physical experiences and seen numerous visions related to the Mark of the Beast and related topics that have developed my interpretations and beliefs. One of these inspired me to present this commentary. In this section I will share a few of these personal realizations. When sharing these, I will always let you know that they are my interpretations. These interpretations will begin with: I believe...
Let's begin our consideration of the Mark of the Beast by carefully considering what John has revealed.
He...:
"He" is the False Prophet in context. Like the Antichrist the False Prophet will be an individual person who will rule over a very large bureaucracy. Like Rex Mundi, that organization and its followers will carry out the will of their master. From the title "prophet" (and from what we will learn in the next chapter) it is clear that the False Prophet will be the head of a global religious organization. The Mark of the Beast will be instituted by and maintained through that body (at first). More on this in the next chapter.
... causes all, the small and the great, the rich and the poor, and the free and the slave:
The Mark of the Beast will be legally mandatory for everyone on the planet; there will be no exceptions. I believe the current debates regarding making the World Health Organization's (WHO) Novel H1N1 vaccinations mandatory is largely a trial balloon to see if people will accept or rebel against such globalist mandates. This is a good example. WHO can say taking the vaccine is "mandatory" but I'm not taking it! Likewise the global government can call accepting the Mark mandatory, but I'm not taking it! We must stand against such mandates!
... to be given marks on their right hands, or on their foreheads:
The individual Marks will be "given" [didomi] under the authority of the world government through the auspices of the False Prophet. We know therefore that the Mark will be a thing that can be given or granted to the masses. The word "given" ("received" in the KJV.) is a translation of didomi. This word means voluntary acceptance -- which does not rule out coercion -- and I am convinced that the Mark will have to be willingly accepted (even if under duress). This is a very general word, however according to Strong's Concordance one of its meanings is "to give or commit to someone something to be religiously observed." As we will see below, this is the case here.
I believe that since the idols or images of Rex Mundi are discussed in the same verses there will be a direct connection between them and the Mark. The idols of the Beast will be granted to those who prove themselves worthy or loyal to the regime. Having an image will be proof to the government, to the local police, the religious authorities, to friends, neighbors and so on, that one has been confirmed as a loyal supporter of the New Order of the Ages (Novus Ordo Seclorum). Eventually most people will own and worship an idol of the Beast. Those without the image will be regarded as de facto terrorists and enemies of the state.
I believe families and individuals will have little shrines in their homes where the image will reside. Some people will decorate their shrines with flowers, gold, silver, crystals and so on while others will be more minimalist in their displays. There will doubtless be required and optional worship of the images. This worship will probably include daily prayers and salutations that can be done privately or with others as is currently the case with the Muslim salaats (five daily prayers). There will also probably be a declared holy day which I expect to be Sundays. This assumption is based on the continuing presence of the Nicolaitan heresy that has been active since before the third century CE as we discussed in chapter two and three. The worship of any god besides Rex Mundi and the honoring of any day other than Sunday will doubtless be illegal and interpreted as evidence of terrorist leanings. The Nicolaitans worship Sol Invictus, the Sun God.
I believe in order to be granted a murti (idol) one will have to voluntarily take a loyalty oath to the Rex Mundi personally and to the "people of the earth and the environment" collectively as indicated in the Georgia Guidestones:
The Georgia Guidestones:
The following Global Elite declarations are clearly presented in a set of ten "guidelines" or engraved principles as follows. They are written in eight different languages, one language on each face of the four large upright stones. Moving clockwise around the structure from due north, these languages are: English, Spanish, Swahili, Hindi, Hebrew, Arabic, ancient Chinese, and Russian. The message in English reads as follows:
MAINTAIN HUMANITY UNDER 500,000,000
GUIDE REPRODUCTION WISELY —
IMPROVING FITNESS AND DIVERSITY
UNITE HUMANITY WITH A LIVING
NEW LANGUAGE
RULE PASSION — FAITH — TRADITION
AND ALL THINGS
WITH TEMPERED REASON
PROTECT PEOPLE AND NATIONS
WITH FAIR LAWS AND JUST COURTS
LET ALL NATIONS RULE INTERNALLY
RESOLVING EXTERNAL DISPUTES
IN A WORLD COURT
AVOID PETTY LAWS AND USELESS
OFFICIALS
BALANCE PERSONAL RIGHTS WITH
SOCIAL DUTIES.
PRIZE TRUTH — BEAUTY — LOVE —
SEEKING HARMONY WITH THE
INFINITE
BE NOT A CANCER ON THE EARTH —
LEAVE ROOM FOR NATURE
LEAVE ROOM FOR NATURE
Those who take the oath will be allowed to receive the Mark of the Beast (probably called the Mark of Loyalty or something similar).
The False Prophet distributes both.
Prior to the recent technological preparations for the Mark it was commonly believed that it would be a tattoo or literal 666 stamped on the hand or forehead. As its implementation is now approaching however it is all but certain that the Mark will be an implanted computer chip such as are currently used to mark pets. This technology is already in use in some humans for tracking children in the event of kidnapping and many powerful people, including Andy Rooney are pushing to see such implants be inserted into everyone.
The Marks will obviously be very small (like the v-chip shown above) because they will be implanted in the right hand or in the forehead. These chips will contain all known information about the person and can be electronically updated at will. The Mark will replace credit cards, ATM cards, driver's license, medical cards, security clearances and so on making the society "safe from counterfeiting, identity theft" etc. Imagine waving your hand across a scanner (such as used in grocery stores etc) for all purchases. No more cash to count or forget to bring, no more worries about being mugged. Just wave your hand. Instant, safe, access to everything. The Mark will appear to be the answer to countless of our woes and complaints. The people will love it!
But at what price? Such implants could easily be remotely "deactivated" leaving the bearer in such a cyber society a virtual non-person who could not buy or sell, for whom medical services would be unavailable and who could be tracked by the GPS component of the chip to any location on Earth making hiding places useless for those who are chipped. Imagine living under Hitler or Chairman Mao and knowing they had such capabilities! This is what John is describing... but there will be ever more to the Mark than this...
Read the following line carefully:
... and that no one would be able to buy or to sell, unless he has that mark, the name of the beast or the number of his name.
From a strict reading of this verse we understand that those without the Mark will be cut off from the society and its economic base. Understanding the Mark to be an implant makes this verse completely reasonable in ways John and others of the past could never have conceived. This End Time revelation of what the Mark entails was confirmed by Prophet Daniel who was told: "Go your way, Daniel; for the words are shut up and sealed until the time of the end" (12:9). Now that we are in the End Times we can understand things much more clearly.
The Mark as a Delivery System
On August 25, 2009 I had a night time experience that granted me a disturbing insight into what the Mark of the Beast will do. To be clear, the following is not contained in the words of our text however I believe this is accurate and completely harmonious with what John tells us. If so, it will become obvious to those who reject the Mark and too late for those who accept it.
Some of this I've known for years and even posted on from time to time. What I realized, what I saw, on August 25, 2009 however appalled and disgusted me more than I can describe. Much to Andy's dismay, after receiving this, around 2 AM, I rocketed into consciousness and hurried outside for the remainder of the night trying to grasp what I had seen and praying for understanding. I could not talk about it nor shake it from my consciousness. This was a shocking, terrifying realization that even now, two months later, is difficult to put into words, but I will try because this is important. I want this to be clear.
The Bavarian Illuminati have been working on genetic research far longer than most people even knew such research existed. According to the Dark Prophecies they have been engaged in this research for one primary purpose: the creation of the perfect human ruler: Rex Mundi. According to these prophecies the Merovingian Elite discovered DNA a very long time ago and have been working to unravel its mysteries. Now they have succeeded.
I must acknowledge first off that biochemistry and genetic manipulation are not my forte! This information is being shared in harmony with what I beheld. Take it with as many grains of salt as you wish.
Through the knowledge of DNA gained by the Illuminati, coupled with insights developed through cloning, stem cell and HIV research, the Human Genome project and so on, the Elite have managed to insert this modified DNA (developed for Rex Mundi and the San Grael or Holy Bloodline) via high-titer virus' (such as lentivirus) into the implanted chips. When a person receives the chip these modified DNA strands are activated (perhaps via RNA) and spread throughout the system modifying the host (incumbent) DNA as it progresses post-transfection. Over a period of time (which appears to be as short as two or three weeks) these modifications completely overwrite the host system and become the dominant markers.
This is the "natural" course or progression of the DNA modified implant or Mark. John reveals this, even though he does not understand it, when he adds: or "...the name of the beast or the number of his name."
This DNA modification is intended to literally alter the host DNA into that of the Beast and his fellows as designed by the Bavarian Illuminati!
As discussed above, the Mark of the Beast will be "666" or Chi (or X) as it modifies the transfected person into "X", and genetically reproduces the DNA of the Rex Mundi (according to the desired DNA grouping) in their bodies. This is "Xi" (or ksi) which is to say, it is the chemical engineering and marking ("stigma") of the person as owned by Lucifer.
In any case, once implanted ones DNA will gradually be transformed into that of the Rex Mundi source coding in ways we can scarcely conceive. The Illuminati have developed several source codes of DNA. It is not that everyone will be transformed in Rex Mundi but into alignment with one of the illumined source codes. The Georgia Guidestones list eight languages. It is conceivable that these reflect the accepted racial diversity and that transfected people who survive the process will become "perfect" specimens of these groups. Of course we know this attempt will fail, but this is likely the direction John is trying to describe here. The possible physical and mental results of this are horrifying to imagine.
In my night-time experience and subsequent visions I have seen souls entrapped within their own bodies screaming for release. These souls are fully conscious but are unable to regain control of their own bodies. It is as though a foreign entity has locked them up and taken over occupancy of their bodies. While this process will be a form of demon possession it is much more sinister than that. The souls of those who have been marked by the Beast will suffer in anguish as their bodies, like zombies, serve the Beast and act according to his will. For such people the only remaining hope is death.
Those who believe that cutting off the hand or digging out the Mark might be an option to gain their freedom need to rethink this. First, once marked they will have no desire to remove it and secondly, were they to they would only mutilate their bodies because the Mark is only the delivery system. Once the Mark is received all hope is gone.
More could be said on this but this should suffice.
Whether the additional interpretations I have seen and shared here regarding the specific nature of the Mark are accepted or not, please understand that what is certain is that everyone who accepts the Mark of the Beast will be damned and powerless to resist their master. There will be no free will left for these people. Once marked, salvation or liberation will no longer be options nor even conceivable.
