The Threefold Mark of the Beast

There are three main camps when it comes to interpreting the mark of the Beast, and each of these camps is passionate about their view, with supporting prophecies, dreams from God, and Bible texts. Yet, the three main camps have different interpretations, so who is right? We need to take a step back and recognize that each of the three camps might have a piece of the puzzle. Indeed, the Bible speaks about the mark of the Beast from three different angles, the Mark itself, and the image, and the number.

Could it be that all three camps of interpretation are correct, from a certain point of view, and we just need a unified biblical framework to put the pieces together? This message is powerful because it has the potential to unite those warriors for God who are passionate and clear about the wrongs of today's world, and if these three camps come together and understand the role of each one, and unite on a foundation of truth, then God's army under His banner would be enabled to gain the victory over the Beast. The first, and perhaps today most prominent of the three main camps, holds the view that the upcoming vaccine is the mark of the Beast, and that receiving the treatment would compromise a child of God and make him a slave to the Beast's system. This camp also encompasses the related concepts of the microchip, barcode, and ID system of any kind, and dovetails right into the New World Order and global zombification and slavery of the masses.

And what is really corroborating the views of this camp is the urgent worldwide push for immunity, which includes some very disturbing and anti-human aspects, like DNA modification.

“With a modified DNA, and I'm like, wait a minute. And if it becomes permanent in us, well guess what, that means we are part synthetic, and by the, at least in the United States, under the Supreme Court jurisdiction, they have said that a human, if they have part synthetic gene or genome, that part can be patented and then owned.

Are you kidding me? Yes, patenting part of humans, and because of that, they were actually putting their own signatures, their names, into the genome of the organism they synthesized. That could be extrapolated to us humans. What if they were putting their names, you know, Joe Smith, Jane Doe, into our genomes? That is the ultimate of branding.”

The alteration of the human genome delves into the realm of evil spirits and the amalgamation of the children of God with the children of men, the product of which many refer to as the Nephilim.

“Anyone who takes the mark winds up in the lake of fire. There's no grace, no mercy.

You're in the lake of fire. And the same judgment that we see with the Nephilim in Genesis 6, Sodom and Gomorrah, and what happens in the Levant or Israel, the Promised Land, when Joshua and Caleb come into the Promised Land, it's always the same mandate. If a Nephilim is there, the judgment is always the same.

It's total annihilation. There's never a shred of grace.”

The second camp sees the homosexuality and promiscuity of the world as the sign of the end.

The world has become like Sodom and Gomorrah, even to the point that the Pope is promoting laws to enforce tolerance of the very things that are abomination to God.

“Please listen to this clip, my brothers and sisters. Tonight Pope Francis voicing support for same-sex civil unions, the first Pope in history to do so.

The Pope saying homosexual people have the right to be in a family, that they are children of God. But that's just wrong. When a person is a child of God, they have God's Holy Spirit in them.

And in Romans chapter 1, it tells us that God rejected them and gave a reprobate mind. So if God is rejecting you because of homosexuality, who is the Pope?”

Although the homosexual desecration of holy matrimony is not often connected directly with the mark of the Beast, it is widely recognized as the sin that leads to God's judgments of fire and the end of the world, just as in the example of Sodom and Gomorrah. And by implication, this means that it must also have something to do with the final test of the mark of the Beast system.

The third camp has been around for a long time, but their views have been widely rejected. This is the camp that grew out of the Protestant Reformation. In the beginning, Martin Luther didn't intend to start a new church.

He wanted to reform the Catholic Church and bring it back into harmony with the Bible as the Word of God. However, the church's response ultimately led him to identify the Pope as the Antichrist.

“When the papal bull reached Luther, he said, I despise and attack it as impious, false.

It is Christ himself who is condemned therein. I rejoice in having to bear such ills for the best of causes. Already I feel greater liberty in my heart, for at last I know that the Pope is Antichrist and that his throne is that of Satan himself.”

From Luther forward, Protestants of every denomination have shared that heritage and have associated the papacy with the Beast system in some form. Tragically, however, Luther made a deadly mistake that crippled the Reformation and ultimately led to its failure.

“Brothers and sisters, Luther's protest is over.”

Luther's mistake was to retain Sunday worship over sola scriptura, arguably for the sake of unity. This common ground of error finally undermined the entire Reformation and led to the dissolution of Protestantism today.

“And I get a bit cheeky here.

If there is no more protest, how can there be a Protestant church? Maybe now we're all Catholics again.”

However, the last church that was truly Protestant in its mission developed a biblical understanding of Sunday worship as the mark of the Beast, like the pagan practice of sun worship or the worship of creation. This is still taught by good Seventh-day Adventists to this day, who see the climate deal, which is the worship of creation, as a vehicle for this mark.

“Climate change. Can you see what's going on, friends? And what is at the foundation of Pope Francis' encyclical to combat climate change? He says the nations must enforce a what? A Sunday law.”

The climate deal places the emphasis on worshiping the creation rather than the creator, just like worshiping God on Sunday honors man's traditions over the Ten Commandments.

These three views each have the support of the Bible in different ways and the support of prophets or prophetic messages that are widely recognized as coming from God. And each view can be seen taking shape in the world today. What those in every camp need to understand is that they are all correct if seen in the proper biblical context.

This is where we need to take that step back and recognize that God speaks about the mark of the beast system in different terms that are not all identical. Could it be that the mark is something different from the image, which is also different from the number, and that each of the three main views corresponds to a different aspect of the overall issue? The second beast in Revelation 13 is said to make an image to the first beast. There is no mention yet of the mark or the number.

Let's talk about this image, which is the first aspect introduced in Revelation. What is the image? The Bible is chiastic. It begins in Genesis with the Garden of Eden and ends in Revelation with Eden restored.

The image of the beast that is introduced in the last book of the Bible is the opposite of the image of God that is introduced in the first book at the very beginning.

“In the book of Genesis chapter 1, God created Adam and then he put Adam into a deep sleep, took a robe from Adam and made him Eve, not Steve, my brothers and sisters. He made him Eve.”

Only with the entire Bible do you get the context for what the image of the beast actually is. It is the opposite of the image of God, which he declared to be man and woman joined in holy matrimony.

“And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.”

The marriage triangle is the image of God and therefore sodomy, same-sex marriage, civil unions, transgenderism, cross-dressing, bestiality, all these things are condemned by God as abomination. In today's society, the beastly nature is glorified through these things. It starts with inordinate sexual appetite, self-gratification and promiscuity, things that the world takes for granted as normal and acceptable, and it ends in abomination.

It has come to that point, and that is why God is judging the world today. To any who have sinned against God in any of those ways, just don't do those things. This isn't hate speech.

It's just putting God first, and that includes keeping the carnal nature subordinate to God, which means not doing what is abominable to him.

“Please pray for the gay community.”

But sadly, the world, still led by the United States as the second beast, has not only repealed long-standing laws against sodomy, but as you know, in recent years, the world has even passed new laws contrary to God's word to legitimize, protect and defend such abominable practices.

“Just moments ago, the Supreme Court and this landmark ruling, the court making same-sex legal, same-sex marriage legal in this country, across every state in this nation.”

And more countries are doing so now at the Pope's behest.

“And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.”

A nation speaks through its laws, and therefore we see that the laws today provide for homosexual relationships. This explains why we don't see such blatant and powerful laws forcing people to receive the injection, for example, or enforcing the climate deal, because the speaking is connected directly to the image of the beast, not to the mark or the number. The image is what is connected to the death decree of Revelation 13, 15 to silence God's people, His voice in the world.

So, one camp is already accounted for with the image of the beast. That is the camp that recognizes total desecration of marriage as being the sin that ultimately brings down God's judgments on the world. After the image of the beast, the Bible introduces the mark.

“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:”

Which of the two remaining camps has an interpretation of the mark of the beast that is received in the hand or the forehead? One might think immediately of the syringe, but it can't be meant literally, because the injection is not received in either of those two locations. And although a microchip can be received in the hand, it is not implanted in the forehead.

In the symbolism that the Bible itself explains, the hand refers to the actions of a person, and the forehead refers to the decisions and beliefs. So, the decision for Sunday rest instead of Sabbath rest, along with the climate deal as the vehicle for justifying and promoting it, is in fact the mark of the beast, and confirms Luther's view that the first beast of Revelation 13 is the papacy. Worshipping creation on Sunday is a mark of the Vatican's authority, in the same way that the seventh-day Sabbath is a sign between God and His commandment-keeping people.

That leaves the vaccine as the third identifying characteristic, the number of the beast. After all, everyone who gets injected with antibodies against the virus will certainly receive an identifying card with a number to prove that their treatment is up to date. The process is touted as a cure, so people can go back to their sinful lives without turning to God.

Hence, the number of the beast is the number of man, like fallen Adam. It is highly interesting that deaths attributed to the present crisis have reached about the same yearly level as death by HIV, which is also a virus, and it originated and spreads through unclean sexual behaviors, like sodomy. Perhaps if the world had made sexual reforms, HIV could have been overcome, and the world would not be under the new threat today.

But now the world has degenerated so far morally that God is judging it through an even stronger means. He is shutting down the partying avenues through social distancing and the restrictions placed on the gathering of people. The point is that this pestilence is not the beginning of the story, nor the beginning of sorrows, but the end.

Friends, we are at the end, and now the world is being judged. Those who love promiscuity more than God will welcome an immunity treatment to get back to their party lifestyle, and those who love Sunday church more than God will get the injection to be able to visit their friends there. And thus, all of those who love their idols more than God and his moral law will receive the number of the beast system, the badge of ownership of a carnal idolatrous nature.

It is the age-old test that Adam faced, love of pleasure versus obedience to God. Now the financial crisis of Revelation 18 is here. All three aspects of the identifying characteristics of the beast system are involved in the economic restrictions against buying and selling.

“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.”

We are dealing here with the same three components again, the mark, the image, and the number. Note that the name biblically also stands for one's character, and thus is related to the image.

These three elements are mentioned as either-or because they imply each other. For example, if a person gets the mark by going back to church on Sunday, they will also have to get the number as proof of immunity in order to be allowed to congregate again. Likewise, to return to church would mean that the church itself must conform to the state image by complying with LGBT tolerance laws.

Thus, a person gets the mark of Sunday, the image of sodomy, and the number of the vaccine, all three of the components. By contrast, those who overcome must overcome in all three areas.

“And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire, and them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name, stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God.”

There are only two sides, brothers and sisters. These are serious times, and we can't afford to remain compartmentalized. We all have a part to play in the last battle, and it's time to recognize by the things that have become so obvious, the vaccine, the homosexuality laws, the climate deal, that the issue of the mark of the beast is not limited to the views of just one camp among God's people.

All three camps have a part of the scriptural picture, and like the three colors of a flag, we all need to come together under the one banner of our Lord. Many of you speak often of the censorship that is going on, and the likelihood of losing your YouTube channel soon.

“The censorship is at the most ridiculous you could ever imagine.”

But it doesn't need to be that way. God has a plan for your channels. The Refuge 144,000 operates a state-of-the-art video sharing platform called AABN, especially for these end times.

Registering with The Refuge allows you to back up your channel on the AABN platform so that YouTube can't take it down. Let us come together as the three divisions of the army of God. This will be the counterforce to the gathering made by the three unclean spirits like frogs, and the opposite of the three parts of Babylon that will ultimately be divided.

“The nation of America is completely divided at the moment, and the Lord told us that a house divided cannot stand.”

When the churches realize that they should not have compromised on LGBT issues, and the people realize that they should have refused the compromised medical establishment's solution, Babylon will break apart. But we will be strong in the Lord by uniting as one army under His banner, not like the divided house that cannot stand, because we will be founded on His word, and He will lead us to the victory in the final battle against worldliness.
