The Mark of The Beast – It won’t be that obvious!
ABOUT THIS TEACHING
This teaching examines the Mark of the Beast in Revelation 13 and argues that it may not appear as an obvious external “666.” The teaching focuses on the Beast’s worldwide influence, deception, worship, allegiance, economic control, and the language that he “causes” people to receive the mark. It compares the Beast’s mark with biblical signs and seals associated with YHWH, including Torah imagery on the hand and between the eyes, the sealing of God’s servants, and believers being sealed by the Holy Spirit. The teaching presents Satan as a counterfeiter who imitates God’s authority, worship, signs, Messiah, and seal. The latter portion explores a proposed connection between the Mark, Genesis 6, Transhumanism, DNA lteration, and a counterfeit promise of enhanced or extended life. These later connections are presented as a hypothesis rather than an explicit statement of Scripture. The practical conclusion is to remain anchored in Scripture, recognize deception, reject allegiance to the Beast system, and heed Yeshua’s end-times warnings.

uh okay here we are the mark of the beast 666 will not be this obvious and I think our culture our upbringing in the church has intentionally maybe unintentionally caused us to believe that when this day happens when this time happens that people are going to be walking around with three sixes on their forehead or on their hand and I I just don’t believe it’s going to be that obvious I think the enemy knows this time is coming and he’s not stupid he’s not going to be creating an environment where it’s 100% obvious uh that you’re following the Beast so it’s not going to be that obvious we’re going to go into more detail about that here as we go along in the lesson let’s jump into this this is our three theme scripture scriptures out of uh Revelation 13 there’s a couple of things here that I want to point out in verses 3-8 it starts off with this incredible statement that I think should cause us to stop and think all the world marveled and followed the Beast that’s a pretty emphatic statement that’s a pretty frightening statement that all of the world marveled and followed the Beast well we’re in the world right so they woried the dragon now let’s follow this all of the world marveled and followed the Beast and they so they worshiped the dragon so the dragon and the Beast are two different people two different entities Dragon obviously is hassatan and the Beast is his Messiah if if you will and because they marveled and followed the Beast they worshiped the dragon because the dragon gave him the authority of the Beast or to the Beast and they worshiped the Beast saying who’s like the Beast who’s able to make war with him and he was given a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies and he was given authority to continue for 42 months then he opened his mouth and blasphemy against God to blaspheme his name his tabernac and those who dwell in heaven it was granted to him to make war with the Saints and to overcome them so there’s going to be some challenge there between the Saints and the Beast and Authority was given him over every tribe tongue and Nation all who dwell on the earth will worship him again he’s doubled up on this statement John has that all of the world will be with Him worship Him on his side those whose names have not been written in the Book of Life of the lamb slain from the foundation of the world so there will be those who will not be following the Beast worshiping the Beast and those are those who have been written in the Book of Life and hopefully that’s all of us he continues in verse 14 and he deceives those who dwell on the Earth by those signs which he was granted now he’s speaking of the false prophet here he deceives those who dwell on the Earth by those signs which he was granted to do in the sight of the Beast telling those who dwell on the earth to make an image to the Beast who was wounded By The Sword and lived he was GR Ed power to give breath to the image of the Beast and that the image of the Beast should both speak and cause as many as would not worship the image of the Beast to be killed so you either worship the Beast you worship the image or you die 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 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 I wanted to stop here for a moment and look at that word causes he causes all it’s not he forces all it’s not he demands all it’s not that he requires all the Bible says the holy spirit says he causes all and I just thought well what’s that word I I got to look into that word a little bit and you know it’s it’s basically what it means on the left hand side there we see to make to do to act to cause to work make manufacture construct do act cause over on the right side with the names of the things made to produce to construct form or fashion and we go through all those scriptures there back down to According to some interpreters also winer’s grammar to make a path and and that’s what I wanted to camp on a little bit because I think we’re going to see in the course of the lesson that this is more than just Satan demanding Allegiance and requiring people to take the mark this is him creating an environment a construct a path by which you will want to take the mark of the beast all on your own we’ve all talked about the system in lessons in the past that Satan has created in the world the system the the entire system of the world is created in such a way that its ultimate end would be this moment so he has created that path he has created an environment in which people will not need to be forced to take the mark they will willingly follow the Beast and then it says here is wisdom let him who has understanding calculate the number of the Beast or it is the number of a man his number is 666 so here is wisdom let him who calculates has let him who has understanding calculate okay so again I thought what in the world does this calculate mean because when we think about calculating what do we think of Dave we think about what math math arithmetic right um we we that’s what we think think of and of course the the sentence ends with 666 so it’s almost kind of a natural way that our minds think but I thought what does this calculate mean what did John mean by calculating the number of the Beast well I looked up the word of course and it’s the word Seido and all by itself it means to count to calculate to reckon to reckon to compute to calculate but then I noticed over on the right that in all of the New Testament that word only appears twice interestingly enough the first time it appears is in Luke 14 where Yeshua is telling people to count the cost of following him to calculate the cost to sit down like one king going against another king is the analogy he uses to consider whether you have enough men in Your Arsenal to overcome the king who outnumbers you so this is the how he uses that word say fedo to count the cost and so I began to wonder and I even sought out some input on this from some other scholarly brothers and they found it intriguing uh as I did is John telling you just to sit down and figure out the number or is John telling you to count the cost to calculate the cost of following the Beast and of course what is the number 666 well it’s number of man but what does it mean I mean there’s a lot of different opinions out there probably the most popular one is that the number seven is the number of perfection that’s God’s favorite number as it were and 666 is always falling short the first six represents the always shorting falling short in the past the second six is currently presently falling short the third six is forever falling short of perfection is could that be it it could be I don’t know no one really knows for sure but I thought that was interesting the Thematic parallel between these two passages is very compelling to me Luke 14 speaks of counting the cost of discipleship requiring a serious commitment to following Yeshua even in the face of personal loss or hardship Revelation 13 occurs in a context where Allegiance is demanded by the Beast accepting the mark of the beast signifies loyalty to a system in Rebellion against God so this parallel would suggest if if I’m correct in my assumption here that the calculation or the counting is more than simply identifying the Beast through numerical analysis instead it could imply recognizing the consequences of allegiance to the Beast such as temporary economic and social benefits but also Eternal judgment weighing the cost of rejecting the Beast which may result in persecution or Marty martydom ultimately leading to eternal life so there I do think that there is some of that in there when he’s talking about calculating the number of the Beast people have read that verse over the years and they have tried to apply it to all different kinds of people I remember in the 80s when I was in high school people thought Ronald Reagan was the Beast because Ronald Reagan has what what’s it say what’s his middle name again Ronald Reagan I can’t remember but every every every word in his name first middle and last were six letters and uh and I think you know that’s people have done that with more than just Ronald Reagan they’ve done it with all different kinds of people but I’m I’m not sure that’s the way that we’re supposed to be seeing this well if if is there not a verse that talks about numerology and stuff like that like being against not not practicing like numerology and Witchcraft and um observing the Stars yeah you would be correct in that Galatians 5 numerology though is not one of them because numerology is something that’s used in the scriptures um you know with Threes And Sevens and 42s and and tws but other stuff which craft gnosticism that stuff all is denounced in scripture well the most common one that I’ve seen is they say like the vicarius vad I think it is is the Vicor of Christ for the pope and they say that one they take the they take like the Roman numerals of that and it equals 666 that’s the most common one that I’ve seen recently it just never I don’t know I think what you’re saying here it it uh makes me look at it a lot differently it’s in Islam yeah yes number two Islam as well okay so let’s look at the origin I thought we should look at the origin of the marked forehead phenomenon and as well we’re going to look into some satanic mimicry um that being Satan mimicking God and everything that he does but I thought we should look at the origin of this let me ask a question to you Dave according to scripture where is the mark found on the body uh the forehead and the right hand I believe that’s correct forehead and the right hand look at these three verses Deuteronomy 61 and Exodus 13 and these words which I command you today shall be in your heart you shall teach them diligently to your children shall talk of them when you sit in your house when you walk by the way when you lie down and when you rise up you shall bind them as a sign on your hand and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes that’s forehead Deuteronomy 11 therefore you shall lay up these words of mine in your heart and in your soul and bind them as a sign on your hand and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes again you shall teach them to your children and so on and so forth Exodus 13 it shall be as a sign to you on your hand and as a memorial between your eyes that the Lord’s law may be in your mouth for with a strong hand the Lord has brought you out of Egypt so here we see beginning with Israel this command by the Lord to have these things between your eyes and a sign on your hand his laws his ways his teachings and I wanted to explain the frontlet issue many of you have seen Orthodox Jews as depicted on the left with this thing on their head this frontlet if you will it’s called a tophot and it’s basically a philacter that’s the word used for it in the New Testament and it’s a little box that holds scripture from the Tanakh on their forehead and when you read verses like the ones from Deuteronomy and exodus is that what we should take from this should we take that literally it’s an honest question until we see how Yeshua felt about it in Matthew 23 but all their Works they do to be seen by men they make their filteries their frontlets Broad and enlarge the borders of their garments they love the best places at feasts the best seats in the synagogues greetings in the marketplaces and to be called by men Rabbi Rabbi so here we see that Yeshua wasn’t very fired up about this practice because it was mostly outward many times people will look at verses like this and and and interpret them absolutely literal but is that what’s going on here if it’s not supposed to be absolutely literal what’s the purpose of the above commands well I think it’s obvious that his ways and purposes should always be before us like glasses from which we see the world and that our hands are tools used to accomplish his ways and teachings it’s about the word being in your mind and therefore in your actions right I think that’s the heart of what is being said here but we’re going to see that Satan mimics these commands when it comes to the mark of the beast here we see the mark of the father in Ezekiel 9 now the glory of God of Israel had gone up from the Cherub where it had been to the threshold of the temple and he called to the man clothed with linen who had the rider’s ink horn at his side and the Lord said to him go through the midst of the city through the midst of Jerusalem and put a mark on the foreheads of The Men Who sigh and cry over all the Abominations that are done within it in verse 11 just then the man clothed with linen who had the inkor horn at his side reported back and said I have done as as you have commanded me this is a very interesting passage for a number of reasons one the fact that the father is commanding that a mark be put on the foreheads of those men who sigh and cry over the Abominations that are in the land and I I don’t know why I when I think about that I think about how today these days my age knowing what I’ve come to understand in scripture I I can relate to some of these men I’m sure you can too when you see certain things on the news you see you driving down your street in your neighborhood you see something you just shake your head and you’re like oh my gosh I mean you sigh over what the world is doing and how really Satan seems to be winning in so many corners of the world and that means something to the father obviously as we see here that they were marked on the foreheads where else do we see this Mark of the father well we see it in Revelation 7 he commanded the Angels do not harm the Earth the sea or the trees till we have sealed the Servants of our God on their foreheads speaking of the 144,000 here Revelation 9:4 they were commanded not to harm the grass of the Earth or any green tree or green thing or any tree but only those men who did not have the Seal of God on their foreheads H so we see that the father is the first one to create a seal on the forehead or the or the hand right what is this SE do you have any idea Dave what it might look like um no maybe I don’t know maybe putting the laws on the hearts like the New Covenant I’m not sure because okay yeah I don’t know because I don’t okay l number two do you know my my impression of this has has been put a seal meaning okay they’re done they’re CH it’s not going to be changed okay well here we see in Revelation 14-22 then they looked and behold the lamb standing in Mount Zion and with him 144,000 having his what father’s name written on the foreheads and there shall be no more curse but the Throne of God and the lamb shall be in it and the servants shall serve him they shall see his face and his name shall be on their foreheads so yes the father does have a seal for the forehead a mark for those that are his and it is his name on their foreheads but notice that this seal in Revelation 14-22 is seen on those post Resurrection so you the reason I’m pointing that out is because you might be thinking as a result of these two verses that I just read that you’re walking around with the invisible hey V on your forehead right now yeah it’s that like the new name yeah I don’t think that’s the case I don’t think that you and I are walking around right now with the father’s name written on our forehead we see that these things are happening post Resurrection well what am I trying to say Bible tells us that we’re sealed with the Holy Spirit until we’re sealed by the name 2 Corinthians 1 now he who establish us establishes us with you in Christ and has anointed Us in God who has also sealed us and given us the spirit in our hearts as a what a guarantee a promise a down payment Earnest for what would ultimately come so we’re sealed there by the Holy Spirit Ephesians 1 in him you were also trusted after you heard the word of Truth The Gospel of your salvation in whom also having believed you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of Promise who is the guarantee of our inheritance until the Redemption of the purchased possession which happens at the second coming to the praise of his glory so here Paul again tells us that we are sealed with the Holy Spirit as a down payment a guarantee a promise for the time that we will be ultimately redeemed and receive the father’s name on our foreheads again Ephesians 4 do not grieve the holy spirit of God by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption so yes believe ERS are sealed by the Holy Spirit awaiting the moment when they’ll ultimately receive the father’s name on their foreheads the reason I’m pointing all this out to you is because of the mimicry there’s a reason why there is such a thing as the mark of the beast he didn’t just make that up he copied it remember Satan wants to be the ruler of this world the God of this world and he wants to mimic and copy and steal everything that the father does and recreate it in His image and that’s what we’re seeing here as it pertains to the Mark I wanted to look at that just a little more carefully recreating yah’s Heavenly Kingdom on Earth in Isaiah 14 speaking of hon it says you have said in your heart I will Ascend into heaven I will exalt my throne above the stars of God I will also sit on the Mount of the congregation on the farthest sides of the north I will Ascend above the heights of the clouds I will be like the most hi and the seriousness the validity of that statement cannot be overstated in this lesson he wants to be like the most high he wants to have a throne like the most high he wants to sit on the Mount of the congregation that’s the New Jerusalem and he’s trying to recreate an environment where that’s exactly what he does we all know of yeshua’s Prayer in Matthew as taught in Matthew that we should pray that his will be done on Earth as it is in heaven well Satan has tried to recreate on Earth that which is in heaven and I’m going to show you how he’s done that in a couple of ways well first of all let’s look at his mimr let’s look at how he has copied the father in his attempt to become king of the universe it starts with his false Trinity Satan parallels God the father as the source of authority the Beast parallels God the son receiving worship and power and the false Prophet parallels the Holy Spirit who promotes worship of the Beast so he’s got his own Trinity at work in the world and will ultimately come to power in the end of days counterfeit worship he wants the world to worship him we see in Matthew 4 where he tempted Yeshua saying all these things I’ll give to you if you fall down and worship me now the ironic thing about bad verse is that promise wasn’t just for Yeshua that’s the promise that he will use with Humanity that’s the promise that he has already used with humanity and will continue to use as the day approaches he imitates the Messiah the Bible says he transforms himself into an angel of Light imitating Christ who is the true light I used to tell people as I was studying the Bible with them that the scriptures Clearly say that Yeshua is the only door the Sheep must go through him but if I’m the enemy I’m going to create as many doors as I possibly can and make them look as closely as possible as the true door I’m going to make my doors my 100 my thousand my 10,000 doors look exactly like the one the the right door with just some very minuscule differences that only the observant Searcher will find and that’s what he does I heard a quote Ed it was it’s really good and it stuck with me it says um discernment isn’t knowing the difference between right and wrong it’s knowing the difference between right and almost right that’s like a that’s a big one that stuck with me for a long time now that’s great that’s a great saying so yeah angel of Light and also Suns signs and wonders in Revelation 13 speaks of this false prophet performing miraculous signs uh we see in Matthew 24 yeshua’s prophecy about the coming of the Beast standing in the Holy Place declaring himself to be God and showing himself to be God right so he is going to do something miraculous that will prove to those people standing by that this guy really is the real deal showing himself to be God and in doing so deceiving humanity and that’s a test that’s a test for the group in this Zoom call right now how many of us would be convinced by somebody doing something so miraculous that in your mind you would think it’s only God could do that and then thus be led astray that’s going to happen because he mimics the father he mimics the son and of course he’s got a counterfeit seal we looked at the seals already the father’s seal but we see that hassatan has his own counterfeit seal Revelation 13 describing the mark of the beast imitating the Seal of God on his followers and then Corruption of divine creation what does this mean well only the father is a Creator right only he can create only he can B which is Hebrew for creating something from nothing Satan he can’t create he can recreate he can corrupt creation and that’s what he’s been doing almost since the beginning creating hybrid beings the Nephilim we see in je Genesis 6 is it describes Fallen Angels corrupting human genetics imitating God’s creative power in humanity so he’s even gone after mimicking this creative process that the father alone has by taking what the father has created and changing it and this is what hassatan will do again with the mark of the beast and this time be so much more successful with it remember typology could it it be said that he was successful the first time from the Genesis 6 experiment yes it could be said he was successful but this second time around he is going to be thoroughly successful Genesis 6 should be looked at through the lens of typology what has been done will be done again will there be Giants in the land if at the end times no that’s not what I’m saying but there will be DNA manipulation happening in the same way as it happened in Genesis 6 and we’re going to go into that a little bit more here in a couple of slides but one last thing on mimicry now what I’m about to show you is my educated opinion what do you call that no my thesis this is my this is this it’s my guess hypothesis yeah hypothesis that’s a good word for it I asked AI to use the descriptions of the New Jerusalem written in Scripture to create for me a visual depiction and this is what it came with the only difference being is that the width and the length of these walls are going to be 175 miles each and it couldn’t really do that in the depiction and some people when they look at those depictions those descriptions and scripture they want to come up with a cube because it talks about the four sides the four walls well a a pyramid also has uh four sides four walls and this is what I AI created as to what the New Jerusalem was going to look at and you might you might think that you might look at that and go wait a minute are you telling me that God’s kingdom is a is a pyramid because we know we’ve all grown up hearing about the pyramid right around the world and their Pagan so quote unquote origin well this structure New Jerusalem is called what one of what’s one of the words it’s called okay but more we just looked at it earlier the mountain of the lord it’s called the mountain of the Lord and I don’t know about you but a big fat Cube sitting there like a The Bard Collective from Star Trek doesn’t look like a mountains like but a but but a pyramid structure does now here’s how my mind works brother and sisters and again take this as with salt because it’s my opinion if this is what the Mountain of God looks like from the beginning of days then then if Satan is trying to recreate his kingdom on Earth wouldn’t that answer in part why we have so many of these pyramids around the world I personally believe that the larger pyramids the ones that seem to be outside the scope of human ability were probably they probably had some assistance with the Nephilim themselves because they were huge they were giants they could carry a block that humans couldn’t why were they doing that well because these Nephilim were put in places of authority they were ruling and they wanted to have the same Mountain of God that they knew existed in heaven and though as a result they’re everywhere they’re everywhere they’re on every continent in one way or another I my personal feeling is You can disagree with me I don’t care I’m I’m not forcing this down your throat this is just another way that Satan has tried to mimic everything that the father does for one reason to be worshiped and to draw your attention away from the truth so let’s answer the question what is the mark of the beast what is that Mark well many things in history have come and gone you’re old enough to know this Glen number two that millions of people believe to be the mark of the beasts and I remember I’m old enough too I remember the time when people were Absol absolutely certain these things were the mark of the beast can you remember one of them Hitler well maybe I thought Hitler was for sure I’m talking more recently in my lifetime not yours oh you’re talking about chips and yeah I mean remember the de when when when they first started talking about the debit card oh what do you mean you don’t have to carry cash oh that’s that sounds like the the Bible people were certain that debit cards would be tied to the mark of the beast tattoos of a barcode all kind of crazy that’s my next one barcodes when barcodes first came out I remember of course this this this might just be me because of the circle of people I hung out with it may it may mean nothing to you but there was a time when people were certain that barcodes were the market the Beast and then of course you fast forward 10 20 years and you get these microchips used for all different kinds of reasons mostly dogs horses horses you know but people were certain that these Were Somehow the mark of the beast I don’t think it’s a coincidence either though I mean they do predictive program they put this stuff in movies all the time so it gets it in people’s heads going there we’re going there bro you’ll see what about this one what’s this GL number two virus That’s the Corona virus people were certain that the vaccine or the Corona virus was the Mark I remember hearing it I remember reading it on the forums and people just all over the place so all these quote qu unquote things that marks so to speak that we were all so certain were the mark of the beast ended up being nothing Burgers if you will because it’s not going to be that obvious and that’s where I’m leading you to it’s not going to be so in your face that you just ex know what it is however there’s one thing I do want to say the way that Humanity responded to the covid-19 virus and thus the vaccine I believe is a prototype of how Humanity will respond to the mark there were militant entities on the planet forcing the vaccine you remember I don’t have to tell you this this was very recent and I think that that was a dry run just my opinion to see how easily manipulated the public would be globally yeah another thing with that too friends turned on friends and family turned on family real quick over that they did indeed transhumanism this is something that we have to look at in regards to this phenomenon humans are in love with the idea of becoming greater super superum more than stronger than better than living longer and even magical and hassatan has been grooving the public for such a reality for decades how do you think that Satan has been grooming the public for these realities for decades books movies TV shows comics everything so this is just a list of a brief list of seven different movies that that are all about enhancement becoming better greater superhuman stronger living longer Limitless exploring cognitive enhancement RoboCop cyborg police X Ma I’ve not seen many of these movies this is just something that I I looked up artificial artificial intelligence liveaction adaptation but that’s just in the last 10 12 13 14 years there’s actually many many many more when you look at the movies that have come out just in the last 40 years how many of them are all about becoming a different version of yourself a better version of yourself living longer than you should having better whatever you just pick something and you’ll find that Satan has been grooming the public for a real event in which these things that Humanity has come to long after will come to life why because shortcuts we love them yeah we all do shortcut to be being bigger stronger more handsome Better Living longer yeah if I can get that shortcut we love it and isn’t it shouldn’t It Strike us that the enemy used a shortcut to cause the fall of Man when he tells Adam in the garden you will be like God Adam was like cool shortcut I’ll I’ll give you a shortcut to that which you desire most and Humanity will flock to it remember re re ration 13 says he causes all both small and great rich and poor free and slave to receive the mark on their hand or on their foreheads meaning what Revelation is is telling us there in in Chapter 13 that this Mark whatever it is will appeal to all of us like godhood appealed to Adam it will be something that we want not something that we look at and go yeah pass no it’s going to appeal to everybody the rich the poor the great the small the free and the slave why will it appeal to us because it will be the UL imate upgrade and guys we already see it heading that way right with AI there’s Elon Musk all kinds of people talking about how humans will be able to evolve and be this or be that with the addition of AI and somehow be blended with AI and these things put in your spine and all we can already see it and if history is a teacher then Humanity will be gleefully complicit in AC accepting this upgrade just as they were in the days of Noah how do we know that in the days of Noah people were complicit in the blending of Angel DNA with human DNA well we’re going to see that here in a moment but I wanted to take a second and look at this word mark as it pertains to transhumanism that we’re supposed to get on our right hand or our foreheads the word mark kaga means Mark stamp engraving sculpture engraving a stamp a sign but look at what it says on the right properly and Engraving etching figuratively a mark providing undeniable identification like a symbol giving irrefutable connection between parties a brand Mark originally any impress on a coin or a seal used by an engraver on a die a branding iron later became the identification marker like with an owner’s unique brand or Mark have we seen that already have we seen some version of this already in human history how about that a scar or a polio vaccination Mark do you have one play number two I I do right over here yeah small pox I got a big small pox scar yeah well the polio vaccine all left us with this mark on our left shoulder or our right I guess depending on where you got it and the polio the mark that was left by the polio vaccine wasn’t the intent it was a byproduct of the process and today even right now all one needs to do to tell if you’ve had the polio vaccine is to look for the mark on your shoulder and what does that Mark tell you that Mark tells you that you’ve been vaccinated against polio and I think that’s what this is trying to say in Revelation 13 it’s an identifier it’s a ref in in irrefutable connection between parties but I wanted to talk a little bit more about this byproduct of the process because I I I tend to believe and I think and I’m I can be waved off of this but I tend to believe that the mark as you and I understand the Mark was not is not the ultimate goal the Mark is the byproduct of the process of you accepting what hassatan has to offer I think it’s going to come in the form of DNA in one way or another possibly the blood of the Beast okay and that that DNA like it happened in Genesis 6 is going to interact with your body in such a way that you will be superhuman that you will have all these things that we talked about in the previous slide and that’s exactly where transhumanism is already heading in the world transhumanist ideals often challenge God’s design for Humanity seeking to become like Gods if the mark incorporates these ideals it aligns with Humanity’s ultimate rebellion and a repeat of Genesis 6 so I ask again what was the ultimate issue with the Nephilim in Genesis 6 if you’ve watched my video on this I have a nearly two-hour video on on Genesis 6 and the Nephilim then you’ll believe or you’ll see that I believe the Bible tells us that the ultimate issue with the Nephilim in Genesis 6 wasn’t the fact that we had Giants in the world but it was the blending of the mixing of the human genome with Angelic genome and creating Unholy Offspring something that the father did not create in Eden That’s The Offspring that’s mentioned in Genesis 3 verse 15 When God Says Eve’s Offspring will be at war with Satan’s Offspring so his offspring is something that was created from fallen angels and man and you might be asking the question do angels have DNA yes they do and if you want to learn how I think that or why I think that I’m not going to get into it right now watch the video but every living thing every sentient thing has DNA and that was the issue in Genesis 6 and will become the issue in the day of the Beast it will be a mixing of DNA Enoch and josher both tell us and these are extra biblical books they’re not scripture but they both tell us that Humanity willingly accepted what was going on with the Angel’s Forbidden Knowledge they wanted it they pursued it for personal gain women consented to relationships with the Watchers Joshua says that the humans took the lead in corrupting themselves the focus in the book of josher is about Humanity’s deliberate and moral Decay and technological abuse as it was in the past so will it be in the future chimeric transformation do you know what a chimera is Dave yeah there there’s a like a liger just uh yeah two breeding two species together two different types I think right yes very similar yes in biology in genetics a chimera refers to an organism that contains two or more distinct sets of DNA um this could be created artificially and it can be created naturally a natural Chimera this can occur in humans or animals such as in cases of twin embryos fusing in the womb in the laboratory or scientific chimeras scientists can create chimeras by combining cells from different organisms often to re for research purposes but history has shown that these efforts have also taken on some very nefarious intentions in either scenario a chimera will exhibit characteristics corresponding to each unique set of DNA present as shown in the image in other words there was always a distinct marker indicating that an individual ual possesses some degree of chimerism now you might think to yourself well all of us are chimeras if we’re dealing with the DNA of our mother and our father no that’s not what it’s talking about that’s that’s talking about unique sets of DNA that aren’t altogether human in Satan’s case not necessarily the natural occurring case as shown in the image I what am I talking about there’s this guy named Jonathan long who had to get a a bone marrow transplant some years back and four years after his transplant he discovers that his DNA is no longer his DNA his DNA has been replaced by that of the donor four years after the transplant had been carried out the crime lamp discovered that it was not Long’s blood that contain contained his donor’s DNA it was not only Long’s blood that contained his donor’s DNA samples taken from his lips and cheeks and Sean by the way proved that his DNA was not his but his donor’s he had become a chimera if he had a kid that kid would look like his donor because of the blending of the DNA and this is what I mean by saying that the mark may not be the singular goal but rather the outcome of such a union with satanic DNA like a scar is the natural in outcome of a wound the mark may not be the you may not see people lining up waiting to get stamped on the forehead and the in the hand no the that’s not the goal the Mark is for you to blend with to have a union with satanic DNA thus creating some type of Mark or marker like the little girl in the picture who has an undeniable different color eye some kind of outward physical manifestation showing everybody who you have blended with who you have sided with whoever you have connected with the Mark is more than physical it signifies allegiance to the Beast rejection of God and a total integration into the Beast system remember the enemy’s promises you will be like God in Genesis 3 all these things I will give you if you fall down and worship me Matthew 4 so this includ could include and here’s a big I put this in big red box with big bright letters because it’s kind of scary and if I’m honest kind of um challenging for some this blending of the DNA that I’m talking about could include adopting technologies that fundamentally alter what it means to be human creating a form of spiritual or biological chimeric enslavement it could even be a form of receiving a new body after Hassan’s likeness just as we will receive a new body Satan could be offering because he’s a mimic the same thing with the blending of of his DNA and this is a big and could this new version of you meaning if you took the mark be an eternal version where you are promised to live forever not just superhuman but your promise to live forever which is obviously the ultimate goal of science anyways it’s my it’s my gut intention it’s my gut feeling I should say that the Mark will bring you exactly what Humanity Longs for to be superhuman to have longer life to have eternal life to never die do you think that there would be a lot more Pathways not just one path to taking the Mark I feel like Society is building itself around funneling people through the gates to the slaughter you know like different um Pathways to the mark yeah of course yeah yeah I don’t think there be one but yeah so here but here’s the challenging thing guys the the mark could give you your eternal life that you’re looking for never die and if that’s the case that would help me understand a couple of verses in the Bible in Revelation 9 we see this out of the smoke Locust came from the earth and to them was given power as the Scorpions of the Earth have power 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 and they were not given authority to kill them but to torment them for five months their torment was like the torment of a scorpion when it strikes a man in those days men will seek death and not find it they will desire to die and death will flee from from them now again my mind I start thinking if the mark gives you eternal life or his Satan’s version of it is this why they couldn’t find death is this why death fleed from them because they had the mark that’s possible it makes me think of Revelation 14 when the Bible says at the end there’s three people who get sent to the Lake of Fire and are there forever it’s the Beast it’s the false prophet and it’s those who receive the mark and their smoke of their torment ascends forever and ever why why don’t they die the second death that other rebellious people did could it be because they’re Eternal because they received the mark that hassatan promised them and like the prophet like the Beast they start in torment forever something to think about I I think personally I I I want to lean that way in exploring this now quickly how hope in the wilderness how do we escape the mark well Revelation 14 third Angel follow them saying with a loud voice if anyone worships the Beast and His Image and receives his mark on his forehead or on his hand he himself shall also drink the wine of the wrath of God which is poured out full strength into the cup of his indignation so what do we see here we see that those people have done three things they have worshiped the Beast they have worshiped the image and they have received the mark Glen number two how do we worship things today that’s a tough question because there’s a lot of different ways you can give it your time you give it your beliefs your emotions your money your yourself yeah yeah doesn’t have to be a God to be a rock star you know you got his posters or her posters planted all over your house and all you think about is being with that person or seeing that person in concert we know how to worship things people in in this world and I’m not talking about Godly worship I’m talking about the other kind and John is saying here in Revelation that if you do that with the Beast you’re on your way so how do we escape the mark well the simple thing is don’t don’t let yourself become infatuated with everything that you see that he offers don’t let yourself Buy in the falseness of the amazing things that he’s doing and of course it’s worshiping the Beast is similar it’s that internal longing you you of what he offers and I think you guys know what I’m talking about there too we’ve all had the time in our lives where we really wrestled with something that we really wanted be a car or a girlfriend or a boyfriend friend or a husband or a wife or a house this internal wrestling this internal longing for what is possible that’s what I think it means to worship the image so how do you escape the mark you deny that obviously and then of course receiving the Mark if you’ve done that you’re all in but the transformation begin so we see here that there’s according to John there’s three steps that lead us down that path that we have to avoid at all times but there’s one other thing that I want to look at uh this word lamb lambano or lambano uh means to actively take hold of or take receive this is the mark to lay hold of accepting what is available we have to not let ourselves be infatuated with accepting what’s available let me just tell a little story here because I’m going to use her as an example she loves Bed Bath and Beyond or is that what it’s called No Bath and Body Works bath and body she just loves Bath and Body Works she loves those smelly candles if she heard that they were having a 10 candles for free sale if you buy one she’d can’t she’d get a tent and camp out in their park a lot yes you would why because it’s something is offered something that’s being offered is available and she dang she wants to be there we all do that how many of us have camped in line at a concert how many US have stood out in front of wall Walmart at 3:00 a.m. on Black Friday iPhone lines because we don’t want to miss we want to actively lay hold of or take receive what’s being available and that’s what we can’t do when we see the world brothers and sisters the whole world chasing after this available thing you have to resist and the question is can you I think it’s in first John John talks about uh you know do not love the world so maybe that would be one love the world or anything in it yeah yeah to escape the be this won’t be something in the world though this will be otherworldly because the Beast will be offering something that’s otherworldly it’ll be the greatest thing you ever heard of yeah so the last thing here as we close up is paying attention how do we do that how do we pay attention well it’s simple we know in Matthew 24 Yeshua says when you see the abomination of desolation standing in the Holy place then we have one response to that that one response is blee to the mountains some people will argue saying well he’s talking about those in Judea no whoever reads let him understand those words are actually in the Greek the writer here Matthew is trying to help us understand that this doesn’t just apply to those in Judea it applies to us all when we see that happen we are to flee to the mountains which means that we should not be anywhere near the Beast and what he doing so we have to pay attention to the scriptures and that is my brief discussion on the mark now thank you Dave for being my wall bouncing things off of um Carl had his hand up and he had something to offer or question perhaps maybe we can start with you Carl thank you um so yeah I um you know I agree with a lot and obviously there’s always going to be disagreement here and there with different things and I don’t know if you read the email I sent back to you um but if you you know I so I spent over a year literally deep diving into this uh and and then after my uh you know during during my Divinity degree work obviously ended up taking a few courses there and then after uh after that that I went into the whole Hebrew side of thing and one of the things that popped um and make a lot of things start making more sense Gras but if you look and you you hit on this throughout the entire Bible both Old Testament New Testament yova wants us to put his name and I don’t know if You’ seen just recently there’s we’re supposed to actually use that name aha um it is literally his name as found hundreds of pieces of literature um in Sweden and Finland they they literally have Christian churches with yehovah not not not do not yoh bah but literally the actual spelling with the connotations that be added later on to make sure that it was pronounced right it wasn’t until 150 uh when a rabbi said they should stop using it was for a short period and obviously Roman oppression um they weren’t allowed to use this in public um which led to the two Martyrs that happened so we really should be using that instead of instead of the tetragram but if we use tetr by the way Yahweh turns out that it’s from a Samaritan uh dialect that kind of got uh distorted and a pastor picked it up it actually is the it was a Hebrew word used for the god of Jupiter so when we say Yahweh let me let me let me interrupt you real quick Carl uhe appreciate your thoughts bro but you’re you’re taking this down an entirely different uh map here so did you have a comment on the lesson yeah that well you know that’s say how we should but back to the thing so if you look up the number 6506 those know how to count it and you use the the if you do use the counting system that the Jews use um it comes from final M SLE and v um and final me is actually for S is leaning upon or upholding or supporting something and VI is evil or rebellion and all throughout the Bible which I started saying the beginning is is it tells us to to you can’t eat at both tables right there’s only two paths you Pi a path is the right path the wrong path and so um you know I use the example that that Darkness more rapidly would be translated ignorance and then ignorance you know evil can exist but doesn’t necessarily mean it exists and um I mentioned I think in in the thing but at the time of of John to take a mark in hand literally was a phrase that was used to uh for someone who’s voting um and is the other the other definition of it at that time was willingly to work for someone so I use Matthew as an example Matthew took the mark of Rome in his hand uh as a tax collector but he didn’t take it in his mind or upon his forehead in other words he didn’t embrace the the ideology of it um but then when he chose to follow Christ he took both the mark of Christ in his hand and he took it in upon his forehead because he embrac the ideology and he did work for Christ for for that understanding so I think that you know I agree that yeah they going to be these things thatti entice us and that’s the goal right entice us away from being kingom Kingdom worshippers or Kingdom Seekers um and and I think from you what you mentioned in one of your earlier videos brought me into this well bro I hate to do this again I hate to cut you off uh we need to leave room here for other people to share and talk y so the point being is that the flesh we to seek the flesh or the things of this world right and in which case you’re taking the mark of the be or you’re seeking yahovah and you’re taking his Mark and amen so your outward fruit and I’ll leave it at that or what thanks Carl somebody else m yeah go ahead go ahead Cheryl oh hi shabbat shalom everybody thanks for um this wonderful teaching today I’m just going to try to um encapsulate what I have to say very quickly um back in the garden when Yahweh told Adam and Eve not to eat from the Tree of the knowledge of Good and Evil on a s level that could actually mean the good is the kados and the evil is profane and there we have mixing with PE what people are doing today in Christianity mixing their false worship their um festivals and holidays and blah blah blah blah blah so when you say um you were talking about calculating the number of the Beast I believe that it’s um adding up all the identifying factors of the Beast and not necessarily the number itself when we know the number six is the number of man and it’s not like um adding it up to be a certain number but I’m saying that um if we look at at the at the the man uh symbolism with what they’re trying to do with transhumanism that could be a mark of the man um trying to contaminate the DNA and the blood which Yahweh says that life is in the blood yahushua’s blood was sa he sacrificed his blood for us so that could be another six identifying Factor let’s open the floor here for uh the baronson and then the rambos yeah Matt was Matt was before so go ahead Matt okay okay thank you uh good morning everyone uh thank you this was a great lesson uh really appreciate that um and I’m going to touch a little bit on what Cheryl and Carl talked about um the fact that the mark of the beast you mentioned everything that you talked about in this lesson is all at the time of the final Antichrist um but a couple verses that I think are pertinent that were not brought up is Exodus 13 Exodus 3113 uh which says say say to the Israelites you must observe my Sabbath this will be a sign between me and you or a mark between me and you for generations to come so that you may know that I am yahovah and then also Ezekiel 2012 which also says also I gave them my Sabbath as a sign between us so that you would know that yahovah made them holy and so the reason I’m bringing these things up is that yes there is coming a future where there’s going to be this Mark put on people who are going to be directly serving Satan but we also need to remember that from the time of giving the Torah at the time of Moses all the way up to the end times we are still dealing with Antichrist in this world and we are still dealing with the mark of the beast and Cheryl talked about it at the end where she mentioned that we are not taking the mark of the beast Beast if we are observing the Torah and so your last slide was I think perfect in getting into that because you can argue that Rome was the Beast you can argue that uh Catholicism is the Beast which all those are as you referred to as types so I just wanted to bring that up so that people can wrap their head around that as well amen thank you Matt Baron just a couple of things and this is my personal opinion or my personal way of looking at things um number one just a general statement uh technology in general has the potential for use for good and evil right and so we can’t just automatically categorically say oh let’s not use technology anymore because it’s evil it does have the potential also to help us uh in life in many other areas so we can that’s that’s comment number one but I think the other comment with respect to these kind of topics and this is again my personal opinion uh no offense to anybody um I think that even these kind of conversations and sometimes uh even the amount of uh Focus that people put on some of these things which are not totally clear to some extent also can be seen as a way of Satan distracting us from what we really should be focusing on right and at the end of the day let’s not get distracted on all these kind of things let’s set our eyes on Jesus let’s follow the Narrow Path am I saying that we should ignore that there are some other forces of evil out there of course not we have to be Discerning we need to be observing we need to know that they are there but our focus and our primary efforts and the way that we live our lives should be to follow God and his commands and if so then he will protect us and and uh he will give us a life to the full so that’s kind of just my general comment about this and similar topics where people get very passionate they spend a lot of energy a lot of times on things that may be not 100% clear and maybe there’s an intent behind that uh with God uh but I think that we should focus on those things that are clear the things that are clear commands and expectations of God for our life and focus on those things amen man and let’s talk about your beard that’s new well it’s coming off okay let see ASF has his hand raised brothers and sister how are you hello I’m not uh going to hear asking some question I’m going to hear present my testimony during epidemic to during Corona 19 this is a incident of 2021 when everyone every country everyone asking that vaccination is mandatory necessary for you I neglect I said no and never no and ever because my faith on yava that’s s for me although I am suffer sufferings uh till now in many matters like bank account other things but everything will be okay and who take vaccination in Pakistan including my relatives they are suffering some of them died and I thankful my y Elohim that by faith I’m still alive and I’m blessed that I have Believers friend like you thank you very much well amen ASF amen let’s see we’re going to take one more because we’re running out of time here with Laura raised her hand okay thank you this is just a really quick question and it might be something you answered in a previous teaching but in um in when it says he causes all the small the great the rich and the poor to be given the mark of the beast is does that mean that all the people on the Earth are going to be Beyond saving at that point except for those who’ve been written in the Book of Life yes oh is that oh okay yeah when you’re when you finish reading that verse it’ll say except for those whose those whose names were written in the book of life so yeah I I mean I think that’s the idea that’s what the Bible’s trying to say here that he will deceive all he’ll deceive the whole world except for the eklesia okay okay I I missed that part sorry thank you okay guys listen great time to get together passionate topic great insights great thoughts and comments we just got to make sure when we when we comment that we are sensitive to other people who are wanting to share something and um that’s just growing pains that’s no big deal uh and I I appreciate all of your patience and your time even being here so uh I hope you guys have a fantastic Shabbat today and and a great rest of the weekend and um the website is coming along you guys can actually go to it now there’s nothing there except the blank template finding the ancient path.org uh where we’re going to be building a bunch of stuff out that be I think will be super helpful for the group and social you know aspects of it as well um so check that out and you know check in on every now and then and watch it grow as we continue to put stuff out here but here comes the fireworks you guys have a fantastic Shabbat and we’ll see youb shalom shalom shalom shalom brother brothers and sisters bless stay bless thank you thank you thank you thank you sister thank you thank you shalom shalom
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- The Mark of the Beast is presented as more than an obvious external “666”; Revelation connects it with worship, allegiance, deception, and participation in the Beast’s system.
- The teaching emphasizes that Revelation 13 says the Beast “causes” people to receive the mark and proposes that he creates conditions in which people desire what he offers.
- The instruction to “calculate” 666 is compared with Yeshua’s teaching to count the cost, encouraging believers to consider the cost of allegiance rather than focus only on decoding a number.
- Hand-and-forehead imagery appears throughout Scripture before Revelation and is associated with God’s words, identity, thought, action, and allegiance.
- God marks and seals His own people. The teaching compares this with the Beast’s mark as a satanic counterfeit.
- Believers are presently described as sealed by the Holy Spirit as a guarantee awaiting final redemption.
- Satan is presented as a counterfeiter who imitates God’s authority, signs, worship, Messiah, and seal; therefore the final deception may appear attractive or beneficial rather than obviously evil.
- Revelation 14 connects receiving the Mark with worship of the Beast and his image, making worship and allegiance central to the warning.
- The proposed connections among the Mark, transhumanism, DNA alteration, chimerism, Genesis 6, and counterfeit immortality are presented as the speaker’s hypothesis, not as explicit statements of Revelation.
- The practical response is to know Scripture, obey YHWH, recognize counterfeit worship, resist desire for what the Beast system offers, and pay attention to Yeshua’s warnings.
