DAILY BIBLE LESSON. THE MARK OF THE BEAST, THE COMING CRISIS, AND HOW TO AVOID THE MARK OF APOSTASY. Please, share this study with your family, friends co-workers, and all who you can, for the expansion of the Kingdom of GOD. The book of Revelation warns us about an OMINOUS MARK, called, the Mark of the beast. REVELATION 14:9-11. If anyone worship 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 cup of his indignation.....". Fortunately no one has the Mark of the beast now, there is still hope and you can avoid it. There are many theories what Mark of the beast is, Some think it's a microchip implant, while others think it's a physical mark like a tatoo on your forehead or hand . But it's symbolic it's not meant to be taken literally. Forehead represents the mind [ Romans 7:25, Ezekiel 3:8]. This is where the frontal lobe is located and that's where decision making process occur, So people will be marked in their mind by consciously accepting the MARK OF THE BEAST. Hand symbolizes work [ Ecclesiastes 9:10]. So those who receive the Mark of the beast in their hands are going to do it for economic reasons so that they can continue buying and selling because ( Rev 13:16-17) Says those who reject Mark of the beast will not be able to buy or sell. So if MARK OF THE BEAST is not a physical mark then what is it??? The Mark of the beast is over worship. REVELATION 14:9-11 Says that those who worship the BEAST will receive his Mark.That means the Mark of the beast is a worship in a way that violates God's 10 commandments. The Catholic Church admits that it changed the sabbath from Saturday to Sunday as predicted in [ Daniel 7:25] and claims that Sunday sabbath is MARK of her Authority. The Catholic Church recognizes that the bible sabbath is Saturday as quoted by CARDINAL JAMES GIBBONS published 1978. The Convert catechism of Catholic doctrine also admit this 1957. The Sunday sabbath is the Mark of Authority of the Catholic Church and when it will become enforced by the law in the near future to be made madatory as the day of worship to all of the inhabitants of the world this spurious sabbath will become THE MARK OF THE BEAST ( enforced Sunday worship). [ Revelation 13:16]. So if you have been keeping Sunday as the sabbath until now and you have realized that Saturday is the true bible sabbath there is still hope for you, you can still make the change to Saturday to keep the bible sabbath holy, Don't procrastinate because in the future it may not be easy. Once God has revealed his will to you , we should not delay to OBEY IT. PSALMS 119:60 I made haste and delayed not to keep the COMMANDMENTS". Majority of the Christians world keep Sunday holy , this is a false worship, is a violation of 10 commandments, Many christians have been taught that Sunday is holy because Jesus rose on that day, but that is completely unbiblical you can not find one verse in the Bible that says Jesus's resurrection makes Sunday a new holy day. REVELATION 14:12. The third Angels message describes the saints of God as those who keep the COMMANDMENTS of God and have the faith of Jesus. Faith in Jesus and obedience to God's 10 commandments including the 7th day Sabbath is what is going to help us AVOID THE MARK OF THE BEAST and genuine saving Faith will lead to obedience.
