Let's start with scriptures...
Daniel 12:10 Many Shall be purified, and made white, and tried: but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand.
Ephesians 1:13 In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit (pneuma) of promise,
Ephesians 4:30 And grieve not the holy Spirit (pneuma) of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.
Revelation 7:3 Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads.
Revelation 13:16-17 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: 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.
Exodus 13:9 And it shall be for a sign unto thee upon thine hand, and for a memorial between thine eyes, that the LORD’S law may be in they mouth: for with a strong hand hath the LORD brought thee out of Egypt.
Exodus 13:16-17 And it shall be for a token upon thine hand, and for frontlets between thine eyes: for by strength of hand the LORD brought us forth out of Egypt. . It is a sign between me and the children of Israel for ever: for in 6 days the LORD made heaven and earth, and on the 7th day he rested, and was refreshed. (Keep in mind Gentiles are adopted in, grafted into as Abrahams seed, we if we have faith of Christ and keep the commandments we are the children of Israel)
Exodus 31:13 Speak thou also unto the children of Israel, saying, Verily my sabbaths ye shall keep: for it is a sign between me and you throughout your generations; that ye may know that I am the LORD that doth sanctify you.
Deuteronomy 6:8 And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes. (The seal of God is given to those who follow the commandments of the Father-Law of the old testament and have the faith of Christ)
Deuteronomy 11:18 Therefore shall ye lay up these my words in your heart, and in your soul, and bind them for sign upon your hand, and they may be as frontlets between your eyes. (the Laws of God)
These verses explain that our faith is our belief. What is in our heart, soul (mind), and our actions. Our hands do what our hearts and minds hold based on our beliefs. We are to be bound to the Law of the Father, old testament.
It gives a good understanding here of what IN the hand and IN the forehead mean as we look on to the Mark of the Beast.
This will be an opposite action to what the Father is asking for.
What is the Father asking for? For us to keep the laws of God.
What will Satan ask for? For us to break the laws of God.
What is a SEAL?
A stamp that has all the following characteristics.
Title, Office, and Territory
Where is the SEAL of God written? in the LAW
Exodus 20:8-11 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor they son, nor they daughter, they manservant, nor they maidservant, nor they cattle, nor they stranger that is within thy gates: For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea and all that in them is, and rested on the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.
Lord – Title
Creator (made)-Office
Heaven and earth, the sea all that in them is- Territory
How is one sealed?
2 Timothy 2:19 Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this SEAL, the Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.
John 6:27 Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him hath God the Father sealed.
2 Corinthians 1:22 Who hath also sealed us, and given the earnest of the Spirit (pneuma) in our hearts.
Ezekiel 20:12, 20 Moreover also I gave them my sabbaths, to be sign between me and them, that they might know that I am the LORD that sanctify them. And hallow my sabbaths; and they shall be a sign between me and you, that ye may know that I am the LORD your God.
Revelation 12:17 And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant (the ones who have the faith of Christ and keep the commandments)
Revelation 14:9 & 12 And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand… Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus. (These verses tells us that if we follow after the beast, the Vatican or the False Prophet-Protestants with false doctrines- promoting the Vatican’s teachings, we will be marked with the their mark, verses following after the Father, keeping his commandments, and having the Faith of Jesus Christ we will marked or sealed by the Father) Christ followed all the commandments of the Old Testament, he was sinless, and we are to live “Christ Like” with the “faith of Christ” which is in the old testament, not a new set of rules.
Revelation 22:14 Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.
So the MOB is not a shot, not a chip, not a tattoo, not any physical mark on the body. It is simply what you believe, and your actions produced by those beliefs.
What is the boasted seal or Mark of the AntiChrist The Vatican/Catholic Church?
H.F. Thomas, Chancellor of Cardinal Gibbons-QUOTE
“Of course the Catholic Church claims that the change [Saturday sabbath to Sunday] was her act…and the act is a mark of her ecclesiastical authority in religious things.”
Catholic Record of London, Ontario= Sept 1. 1923
“Sunday is our Mark of Authority….The Church is above the Bible, and this transference of Sabbath observance is proof of that fact.”
Cardinal Gibbons, In Faith of our Fathers 92nd Edition, Pg 89
“You may read the Bible from Genesis to Revelation, and you will not find a single line authorizing the sanctification of Sunday. The scriptures enforce the religious observance of Saturday, a day which we the catholic church never sanctify.”
The Catholic Mirror, Official Publication of James Cardinal Gibbons, Sept 23, 1893
“The catholic Church….By virtue of her divine mission, changed the day from Saturday to Sunday.”
Our Sunday Visitor, February 5, 1950
“Protestants do not realize that by observing Sunday, they accept the authority of the spokesperson of the (Catholic) Church, The Pope.”
Does that mean that those who currently worship the Father on Sunday already have the Mark of the Beast?
NO, Rev 13:15 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.
There has to be World wide legislation in place and an enforcement plan by the US in place before there is no point of return in receiving the Mark of the Beast. This doesn't mean that there will only be one government and one religion. A world wide accord similar to the Antarctic treaty will need to be drafted and signed by all nations, and the US will have installations world wide to oversee local governments enforcing the judgements of the Accord.
The point of no return is you fold your beliefs in your pocket and lie to the government about your religious beliefs so that you have access to buy and sell legally. This is you denying the Father, His Laws, and HE will deny you.
Scenario:
The US will make a Union or an Accord with the Papacy to start the process in private then call for a international meeting to make legislation for a Sunday law under the guise of Climate Change. Then the campaign will begin at a Summit meeting to get all nations to sign the Accord that has already been drafted. Those who don't will be penalized with sanctions and possible assignations until they get them on board. Shouldn't take more than a year or so.
I don't think they will come out of the gate running. This will be a slow process as it is being put into place. They will start the survey process of citizens for those who want to comply early. In the background setting up the enforcement plans.
They will start pointing our how the Climate has improved due to reduction of industry, travel, and working. We can see so much farther, the sea are clearer...
After some time, a year or two, they will get impatient and kick up the intensity of their enforcement.
They will have set up a registration or census to gather everyone's general information, religious preference, and daily schedule run like a voting center. There will be some sort of database and system for them to know which citizens are compliant and which one aren't. They will set up check points to catch the non compliant folks. They will set up a controlled system for buying things, they will have restrictions and codes to buy online (if still allowed), they will have keyless entry tags to gain entry into a shop and gas pumps that you get issued by the government if you meet their requirements. They will make it illegal to trade, buy or sell with your neighbors if you don't have their approval. They will cause your neighbors to turn you in prevent them from receiving punishment for helping you or hiding what you're doing. They will have total control over all the utilities and can shut down select homes. Anyone who owns an electric car they will be able to turn off at will. They will deny travel on planes local and international, to those who do not comply. They will have guards posted at ports to prevent boat travel unless approved. They will closely monitor trains cargo and passenger for unauthorized persons. They will set up employment requirements that everyone must be off on Sunday and work on Saturday. This will cause those who follow the law to be without work creating a desperate situation hoping they will quit their faith to gain the rewards of the Mark of the Beast. Those who refuse they will strong arm them in to compliancy or murder them. There will be some surviving Law binding people in the end. Scripture says dead in Christ shall rise first (those who are asleep), and then those which are alive will meet the Lord in the sky. 1 Thes 4:15-17
For those who DO comply, they will have many freedoms, but will still have a constant supervisor watching them. They can travel, shop, drive, work as long as they remain compliant and turn in those they see who aren't.
This above Scenario is most likely what will happen: What will you do?
We do have Blue Laws that restrict or ban activities or purchases on Sunday. Most are not in force or just partially in force. Here in TN, in the BIBLE belt, they do not have liquor stores open on Sunday, and beer is not allowed to be bought until after 10am on Sundays.
Below are quotes from the Catholic Church stating their intent for a Sunday Law
Pope Francie-Catholic.org, July 20, 2014
“Working on Sunday has negative effect on families.” “Maybe it’s time to ask ourselves if working on Sundays is true freedom.” “Spending Sunday’s with family and friends is an ethical choice for faithful and non-faithful alike.”
Catholic New Agency, August 12, 2015
“Pope Francis: Sundays are a gift from God- Don’t ruin it.”
“Francis pointed to Sunday’s as a particularly important time for rest, because in them we find God. He stressed this in the context of his September 26 speech in Philadelphia at the world meeting of families. Thus there is no doubt that stressing Sunday is high on the pope’s agenda.”
"Look to Christ, not the law, to receive new life, pope says at audience" 08/16/2021
Pope urges politicians to take 'drastic measures' on climate change 09/01/2019
VATICAN CITY (Reuters) - Pope Francis challenged governments on Sunday to take “drastic measures” to combat global warming and reduce the use of fossil fuels, saying the world was experiencing a climate emergency.
other quotes made by the Vatican in reference to Sunday laws
September 1, 2017 Trump signed a proclamation that Sunday be a date of Prayer for TX after the hurricane.
How do we know what doctrine is true and which is false?
First the Bible is the only text that has 2600 years of precise prophecy enclosed. It is the longest surviving text in History. This tells us the scriptures are the right religion to follow.
We let scripture tell us what is true and false about our beliefs?
We must realize that what we’ve been taught has been a manipulation of the scriptures. Primarily from the book of Romans. We fail to realize that Christ followed ALL the old testament commandments, he taught his disciples to follow MOST of them, and the disciples taught others to also follow MOST of the old testament commandments.
No where in Matthew, Mark, Luke, or John did Christ say you no longer have to follow the commandants of the Father. Actually, it was the opposite. He said if you love me follow my commandments, and said that His doctrine is not his own, but of him who sent him, referring to the Father and the old testament commandments, the Torah-Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy.
In Matthew 5-7 he went on to say it’s not enough to follow the laws outwardly, you must also inwardly. To think to commit the crime is as bad as actually doing it. This will separate the true believers from the hypocrite or the ones who are primarily worried about what others think. We must love the Father and Son enough to want to adhere to their commandments. Plus Paul would not contradict Christ teachings. Why would we take the word of Paul over the Word of Christ? (if he had gone against Christ)
Old and New testaments repeat the same request KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS
Ex 16:28, Ex20:6, Lev 22:31, Deu 5:10, Deu 5:29, Neh 1:9, Pro 3:1, Pro 4:4, Pro 7:2, Dan 9:4, John 14:15, John 15:10
No laws have changed, a few have been lifted. We are not to follow every law in the old testament, this would nullify the sacrifice of Christ if we were to continue to sacrifice animals. BUT we are to follow the ratified Law of Christ which are written in full in the Old Testament, and specified in the New Testament the ones we no longer keep.
Scripture says many times to inherit the Kingdom of God you must OBEY his commandments. So why do we deny this requires actions, or deny that it’s talking about the Old Testament Laws? How have we’ve been convinced that the law is void?
Matthew 5:19, 19:17, Mark 10:19, 12:29, Luke 1:6, John 14:15, 14:21, 15:10, 1 Corinthians 7:19 14:37, 1 Timothy 4:2, 1 John 2:3-4, 3:22-24, 5:2-3, 2 John 1:6, Rev 12:17, 14:12, 22:14
Daniel 7:27....whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey him.
So where did we go wrong and stray from Christ teaching. During the time of Vatican rule (538AD-1798AD) no one was allowed to have their own Bible by penalty of death. During this time the Vatican ruled over ALL nations with an iron fist ecclesiastically, politically, and civically; they changed the understanding of scriptures to meet their pagan mixed religion and beliefs. They added confusion and doubt to the truth. No one could verify what they were saying to be true or not, therefore all were corrupted. The reformation from the Catholic Church is where Protestant believers came from. They still have many core false doctrines in their beliefs.
What became common practice and belief, during this taboo1260 years, was once NOT accepted by God’s people. We need to get back to what the Lord would have to do and be instead of what man would have us do and be. The Vatican manipulated scriptures to have us believe that Paul taught we are no longer bound to the law of God. That Christ released that yoke from us because it was to burdensome to bear. We took this with us through the reformation.
But the Lord says his law is liberty Ps 119:45, freedom and liberty, not a yoke of burdens...
Freedom and Liberty=The Law of the Father
James 1:25, John 8:31-33,36, Psalm 19:7-11, Rom 6:18, 20,22, 8:2, 1 Cor 7:21-22, 9:19, Gal 4:26,31, 5:1, 1 Pet 2:16
The law is truth
Truth=Christ, the Word of the Father
Deuteronomy 32:4; 1 Samuel 12:24; Psalms 15:2, 25:5,10, 119:142, John 1:1-14, 14:6
The law is righteousness
Righteousness=Having Faith/belief in the Father, the Son, and the Law
Gen 15:6 And he believed in the Lord; and he counted it to him for righteousness.
Deu 6:25 And it shall be our RIGHTEOUSNESS, if we observe to do all these commandments before the LORD our God, as he hath commanded us.
Rom 6:20 For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from righteousness. 8:4 That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
Galatians 2:21; Romans 3:22, 1 Cor 15:34, Gal 3:6
Some of us think that if we recognize, not follow, the rightful 10 commandments as they were written by the Father, since the Catholic Church changed them for their congregation, that will be enough. It is NOT. The Lord did not separate the 10 in stone from the remaining commands. The 10 in stone are the starting point. The others explain how to observe the 10 primary laws with more details. We are sealed or marked by our belief and actions!!
Which way will you go?
It’s so hard to admit that we’ve been lied to, mislead, or have an incorrect belief. BUT if you truly want to SERVE the Father you will seek out the truth. Some have trouble listening to different ideas of what the truth is because they feel it is sacrilegious, but if you say you are a believer in Christ, in scripture, and truth THEN you know that your BIBLE says to prove all things. 1 Thessalonians 5:21 which would also include your beliefs based on scripture alone, not any commentary or leaders teachings. Take what you are taught and see if it stands correct to what scripture says.
Some will have a hard time with this as you believe the BIBLE says we no longer have to follow the law of God. I was that way once myself, but with prayer, research, and opening my heart the Lord showed me the truth of the matter.
