THE ANTICHRIST, MARK OF THE BEAST, AND WOUND OF REVELATION EXPOSED!

The Book of Revelation describes a “mark” that is placed IN the forehead or hand of those who worship the “beast” (often interpreted as an Antichrist figure). Irenaeus, a 2nd-century church father, is one of the earliest commentators to discuss the number 666 and its relation to the “beast,” suggesting that it could refer to Rome or a Roman emperor.

The idea of a literal mark has persisted in various interpretations of Revelation in more modern times, with some Christians believing that the “mark of the beast” will be a physical mark in the end times, while other interpretations view the “mark” as a symbol of allegiance or a spiritual state, rather than a literal physical mark. 

The concept of marking people as property or as belonging to a particular group was common in ancient societies, which may have influenced the imagery of the “mark” in Revelation.

But then if the mark is indeed literal, doesn’t that make the words of Christ, who clearly said that NOTHING (nothing means nothing by the way) that goes into the body could defile (profane, pollute, desecrate) it untrue? And then went even further to explain that obeying the desires of the flesh was what profaned the people of God, which came from the heart!

The phrase “(Thus he declared all foods clean)” in Mark 7:19, which is a summary of Jesus’ teaching, is a parenthetical addition by translators, not found in the original Greek manuscripts. The original Greek text of Mark 7:19 doesn’t contain the phrase “(Thus he declared all foods clean)”. Translators have added this phrase in parentheses as a summary of Jesus’ teaching, which focuses on what defiles a person: not food, but the things that come from a person’s heart. Jesus emphasizes that what truly defiles a person is not ANYTHING external, but internal corruption and evil thoughts and deeds that proceed from the heart. 

Note that the excerpt is carefully inserted at just the right place to distract the reader from what Jesus is actually saying, causing the thoughts to suddenly be diverted to food and believing Jesus is just talking about what we eat. Just like all of His parables, they are symbolic of something completely different! In this case, it’s not about food at all, but about what does and what does not profane/desecrate/defile the people.

Mark 7:14-23 NASBS
After He called the crowd to Him again, He began saying to them, "Listen to Me, all of you, and understand: [15] there is nothing outside the man which can defile him if it goes into him; but the things which proceed out of the man are what defile the man. [16] [If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear."] [17] When he had left the crowd and entered the house, His disciples questioned Him about the parable. [18] And He said to them, "Are you so lacking in understanding also? Do you not understand that whatever goes into the man from outside cannot defile him, [19] because it does not go into his heart, but into his stomach, and is eliminated?" (Thus He declared all foods clean.) [20] And He was saying, "That which proceeds out of the man, that is what defiles the man. [21] For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed the evil thoughts, fornications, thefts, murders, adulteries, [22] deeds of coveting and wickedness, as well as deceit, sensuality, envy, slander, pride and foolishness. [23] All these evil things proceed from within and defile the man."

The Wycliffe Bible, older than the Geneva Bible, and one of the OLDEST translations available, refers to the mark of the beast as “IN the hand” and “IN the forehead”-

Revelation 13:16 1382 Wycliffe Bible
And he shall make all, small and great, rich and poor, free men and bondmen, to have a character, either mark, in their right hand, either in their foreheads; 

Revelation 13:16 1599 Geneva Bible
And he made all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand or in their foreheads.

Revelation 13:16 1611 King James Bible 
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:

So if Jesus Christ Himself told us that NOTHING that GOES INTO the body can profane it, but ONLY that which comes out of the heart, and we know Jesus Christ does not lie or deceive us, doesn’t it stand to reason that somewhere along the line we have gotten something wrong here in our understanding of end times eschatology?

The head of the end times church is Satan, appearing as Christ. Forehead in Hebrew is deeply rooted in “teachers”, and in this case, the false teachers. Hand is defined as your allegiance, power, strength, pledge. Jesus is at the right hand, so the right hand represents God’s people who have instead made their pledge with the flesh (Satan) and apostatized their covenant with Christ. (Do not take the NAME of the Lord in vain, meaning do not make a FALSE VOW or FALSE PLEDGE or FALSE COVENANT with God! Name means mark in Hebrew and vain means meaningless, empty, false.)

Strangely enough, people today teach it as “the Revelation of Satan on earth” who causes catastrophes to the unbelieving people of the world. Meanwhile, Christians are beheaded and put to death by the powers of the world.

However, the Book of Revelation is actually titled, “The Revelation of Jesus Christ,” NOT the Revelation of Satan. And Christians are beheaded because during the “destruction of the church”, Jesus Christ is REMOVED as head of the church and replaced with an imposter (Satan appearing as an angel of light), thus, beheading the church!

It was to be a book of hope to God’s people, not a book of doom and gloom. While the Book of Revelation uses vivid and symbolic language, early Christians, who were very familiar with apocalyptic literature and the context of their time, understood its message as symbolic rather than literal, offering hope and encouragement in the face of persecution.

Shouldn’t the title be proof enough of the false teachings surrounding end time Bible prophecy today?

The church today teaches it as the Revelation of Satan and evil people in the world, when in fact it is the Revelation of Jesus Christ to His fallen church!

The Revelation of Jesus Christ is really about the fallen people of God (the church) who are punished over and over for their obstinance and disobedience, and as it is written, “..still, they refused to repent..” until finally, at the very end, their fleshly ways are consumed by God’s fire in which God uses the enemy to eat up their sinful nature. In other words, God’s people are punished (God’s fire, God’s wrath) for their apostasy (falling away) in order that God can raise them back up to their feet in OBEDIENCE AND TRUTH as the REAL JESUS CHRIST of the Bible is revealed to them and resumes His rightful place as the head of the church.

Revelation 17:16-17 NASBS
And the ten horns which you saw, and the beast, these will hate the harlot and will make her desolate and naked, and will eat her flesh and will burn her up with fire. [17] For God has put it in their hearts to execute His purpose by having a common purpose, and by giving their kingdom to the beast, until the words of God will be fulfilled.

1 Peter 4:12-19 NASBS
Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal among you, which comes upon you for your testing, as though some strange thing were happening to you; [13] but to the degree that you share the sufferings of Christ, keep on rejoicing, so that also at the revelation of His glory you may rejoice with exultation. [14] If you are reviled for the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you. [15] Make sure that none of you suffers as a murderer, or thief, or evildoer, or a troublesome meddler; [16] but if anyone suffers as a Christian, he is not to be ashamed, but is to glorify God in this name. [17] For it is time for judgment to begin with the household of God; and if it begins with us first, what will be the outcome for those who do not obey the gospel of God? [18] And IF IT IS WITH DIFFICULTY THAT THE RIGHTEOUS IS SAVED, WHAT WILL BECOME OF THE godless MAN AND THE SINNER? [19] Therefore, those also who suffer according to the will of God shall entrust their souls to a faithful Creator in doing what is right.

Revelation belongs to the apocalyptic genre, which often employs symbolic language, visions, and imagery to convey spiritual truths and offer hope in times of crisis. Early Christians faced persecution from the Roman Empire, and Revelation’s symbolic language served as a way to express their faith and hope without directly provoking further persecution. The book uses symbols like the beast, the harlot, and the seven trumpets to represent forces of evil and God’s refining fires of judgment, rather than literal events. 

Early Christians, familiar with the Old Testament and other apocalyptic literature, would have understood the symbols in Revelation within that context. Revelation ultimately offers a message of hope and encouragement to Christians, assuring us that Jesus Christ has won the final victory over evil, that we will be vindicated in the end, and that God loves us so much, He is merely refining us, or purging us of our fleshly nature so that we will be consecrated and whole in Him. 

Until modern times, the symbolic or allegorical view of Revelation has been the dominant interpretation in most Christian beliefs in earlier days.

But what changed all of this? One of the biggest factors that changed the church’s interpretation of Revelation heavily involved those who wanted to monopolize by teaching it as literal, or literal mixed with symbolic. Over time, authors have and continue to make hundreds, thousands, and millions on best selling page turners instilling fear and the need to physically prepare. The Christian film industry has made and continues to make millions through the same concept. Prophecy outlets sell books, videos, survival products and more, getting thousands and thousands of views, therefore monopolizing greatly on people’s fear and the need to prepare for apocalyptic events.

For example, Hal Lindsey’s book, “The Late Great Planet Earth,” sold an estimated 35 million copies by the end of the 1990s, making it the best-selling nonfiction book of the 1970s. It sold an estimated 35 million copies by 1999, and was translated into about 50 languages. Lindsey wrote more than 20 books, but none of them achieved the same level of sales as “The Late Great Planet Earth”. As a result of his great success, Lindsey received the title in the Christian community as “the father of Bible prophecy.” The book’s success brought Christian eschatology into the mainstream, paving the way for other prophecy writers like Tim LaHaye, Jerry Jenkins, Joel Rosenberg and hundreds upon hundreds more.

While specific financial details of Tim LaHaye’s earnings from the “Left Behind” series are not publicly available, the series generated significant revenue, with the books selling over 80 million copies and the movie adaptations also proving successful. The “Left Behind” series, co-authored with Jerry B. Jenkins, became a massive success, selling an estimated 80 million copies. The series spawned a movie franchise, with the first film, “Left Behind,” selling 2.8 million copies on video. The “Left Behind” series is credited with revitalizing the Christian fiction market, which also spawned a children’s series, audio tapes, companion “non-fiction” books, and a “Prophecy Bible”. Finally, LaHaye also wrote about 60 non-fiction books, mostly focused on biblical prophecy.

Not only did it pave the way for more authors, but also Christian television outlets, videos, movies, social media influencers, news and media outlets, survival companies, gold/silver companies, and plenty more! It became apparent that there was plenty of wealth to be made in the Christian world off of “sci-fi christianity”.

As a side note, I used to be involved in the sensationalistic fear porn industry, so I know firsthand. When I first got on YouTube and was monetizing on my channel, before shadow banning and censoring came about, I averaged $10,000 a month on youtube monetization and sometimes even $12-14K plus. And what was making me that kind of money? Sci-fi christianity fear based content. Of course, like most, I actually believed those things because I was deceived at the time. But I was popular and successful. People knew who I was, shared my content and wanted me on their shows.

Between the shadow banning and the fact I refuse to publish deceptive things because I now know it is not the truth, I do not make hardly anything and many no longer support me. Speaking the truth doesn’t win you any rewards on this earth; rather, it earns you a lot of enemies and haters. I am no longer in the lime light, nor does anyone want me on their shows.

It is always smart to be prepared for any type of disaster since disasters do and have happened throughout history; and no doubt disasters will happen again. However, as a result, modern day Christians for generations have been awaiting end times disasters, including a single man antichrist. The Christian “sensationalistic fear porn industry” has literally made millions and millions of dollars over time monopolizing on people’s fear and perverse teachings of end times Bible Prophecy.

In the following verse, notice the sheep, the oxen, the money changers and the doves! The people of God, the teachers, those monopolizing on false things and the Holy Spirit!

John 2:13-16 NASBS
The Passover of the Jews was near, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. [14] And He found in the temple those who were selling oxen and sheep and doves, and the money changers seated at their tables. [15] And He made a scourge of cords, and drove them all out of the temple, with the sheep and the oxen; and He poured out the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables; [16] and to those who were selling the doves He said, “Take these things away; stop making My Father’s house a place of business.”

The Bible mentions a deception SO GREAT that if it were possible, even the elect would be deceived. However, this Biblical quote too has been misunderstood and mis-taught.

Matthew 24:24 NASBS
For false Christs and false prophets will arise and will show great signs and wonders, so as to mislead, if possible, even the elect.

Signs means marks, and wonders means portends and omens. Meaning, a false mark of the beast and a false mark of the Holy Spirit being taught. Wonders is referring to the very things the false teachers and prophets teach us to follow after and look for, especially when it comes to the end times. The false Christs and false prophets are the false teachers, false Christians, false prophecy teachers and false prophets.

Prophet in Greek not only means prophet, but a “pretended foreteller, religious imposter, and inspired speaker”. The elect cannot be deceived because they are God’s chosen. God will not permit them to remain asleep. He will wake up a small remnant of people at the end who know the truth.

The false teachers and false prophets teach the people FALSELY and LEAD THEM ASTRAY, mixing TRUTH with LIES! Just as the tree of knowledge of good and evil which Eve took from (the bride) was a mixture of good (truth) and evil (lies). These false teachers and false prophets act as the serpent in the garden, deceiving the bride, aGod’s people have definitely eaten of the toxic fruit (wormwood and the toxic wine)!

The church has chosen their flesh made Jesus who is okay with disobedience and allows his church to continue living in the flesh, thus giving his people the gift of (false) salvation known as an insurance policy so that they can therefore continue living in sin and apostasy and still be saved. This is the head of today’s church. Meanwhile, the body of fallen believers who have apostatized (transgressed) their covenant makes up the body of this massive, beastial Goliath giant!

So who is the Antichrist? What is the Mark of the Beast? What does it all really mean? For a clear understanding using only the Bible, watch the below videos. Remember, what the majority of the church believes is false according to Jesus Christ, and those who follow the truth are few.

Matthew 7:13-23 NASBS
"Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter through it. [14] For the gate is small and the way is narrow that leads to life, and there are few who find it. [15] "Beware of the false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves. [16] You will know them by their fruits. Grapes are not gathered from thorn bushes nor figs from thistles, are they? [17] So every good tree bears good fruit, but the bad tree bears bad fruit. [18] A good tree cannot produce bad fruit, nor can a bad tree produce good fruit. [19] Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. [20] So then, you will know them by their fruits. [21] "Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter. [22] Many will say to Me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?' [23] And then I will declare to them, 'I never knew you; depart FROM ME, YOU WHO PRACTICE LAWLESSNESS.'

One of the biggest mistakes of the end times church is thinking they know it all and have no need to do what Jesus clearly states here. (Please note, becoming like a child in Greek is defined as “unlearned, uneducated”)-

Matthew 18:2-4 NASBS
And He called a child to Himself and set him before them, [3] and said, "Truly I say to you, unless you are converted and become like children, you will not enter the kingdom of heaven. [4] Whoever then humbles himself as this child, he is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

In the following passage, “rich, wealthy, and have need of nothing,” is a picture of the church who knows it all and believes they are truly saved, thinking they are following after the real Jesus of the Bible when in fact they are not.

The next sentence gives us even more insight. It says, “you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind and naked!” Naked means that your sin nature is exposed before God. In other words, you do not have the seal of salvation. Your perverse sin nature is laid bare. You are uncovered. You do not have the white robe of salvation. You are blind because you are deceived and refuse to see the truth. You are poor in the things of the Lord, including knowledge, and well, the rest speaks for itself.

Revelation 3:17-19 NASBS
Because you say, "I am rich, and have become wealthy, and have need of nothing," and you do not know that you are wretched and miserable and poor and blind and naked, [18] I advise you to buy from Me gold refined by fire so that you may become rich, and white garments so that you may clothe yourself, and that the shame of your nakedness will not be revealed; and eye salve to anoint your eyes so that you may see. [19] Those whom I love, I reprove and discipline; therefore be zealous and repent.

The truth is, the last thing Satan wants us to look at is ourselves. He is a deceiver, master manipulator, a murderer, and the father of lies! Serpent is defined in Hebrew as, “magician, fortuneteller, sorcery, etc.” A magician gets the people to look at something else so that while you are doing so, you miss what he is really doing. And that is exactly what he is doing, and the church has taken the bait!

He has us all focused on politics, the sins of the world, and everything else when the ENTIRE Bible is clearly about God’s people who are constantly throughout history disobeying God and suffering punishment as a result, because according to Jesus Christ, “IF you LOVE ME, you WILL keep MY commandments!” And that those of us who do not obey Christ and keep His commandments hate God and are directly opposing our creator, God Almighty!

The things going on in the world are a smokescreen. The world is evil and will do evil things because they are a different kingdom than those of us who are disciples of Christ. We are called to be separate from the world, a holy nation ruled by Christ and not of the world kingdom. The world is not our problem nor our threat other than for the purposes of prayer. We follow Christ, suffer for Him as we obey Him and concern ourselves with the real problem in the church today….the sin of God’s people, not the world.

Even Jude told us who the problem was and where it was happening; the false teachers who had crept in unaware! The letters of John warned us that those who did not obey God by keeping His commandments were liars and the truth was not in them! These things are all over the Bible.

But do God’s people actually take the time to study the Bible as a child (unlearned, uneducated) and look into it for themselves without any perversions from past teachings leading them in their thought processes as they study?

I have so many videos that cover this entire subject, and there is way too much information I have compiled, strictly from the Bible and the meanings of the words, to share everything with you I have found. However, I advise you strongly to please take time out each day, if you have to divide it up since there is so much here, to prayerfully consider these messages. If you believe you know everything and you do not think you are in any way deceived, then what do you have to lose? Do not be like the prideful church of Laodicea who thinks they have the truth, the Spirit and the wealth of knowledge only to find out by the end of it all that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind and naked!
