>So,
>this mark is only for a final generation?
Yes. And then, only for 42 months before it fails utterly.
Probably infiltrated by the FBI, but always figured they were just another Soros puppet group.
The only way people can understand the bible is with the teaching of the indwelling Holy Spirit of God.
So, you're not alone in not being able to understand the bible.
You're in the majority.
Congrats?
Nobody has taken the mark of the beast yet.
Because nobody has been beheaded for not taking the mark of the beast yet.
And when the mark of the beast hits, it will be taken upon penalty of instant death.
So whatever you think the mark of the beast is, it's just a precursor, a move towards it, and not the ultimate mark of the beast.
No, it isn't.
Not for you, anyway.
It's decidedly inconvenient.
however, your argument that "I cannot understand the bible, therefore nobody can" is rather weak.
No.
-
All dead children are in heaven.
-
Anyone who believed in God is in heaven.
-
Anyone who believed in the Messiah is in heaven.
With a brief pit stop in Paradise, aka the Elysian Fields, aka the Bosom of Abraham.
See, there is no "before Jesus", and there is no such thing as "time".
Not by the markings, no.
Amen to that.
This Age of Grace is rapidly drawing to a close, and we are in fact in the Beginning of Sorrows.
So this generation alive today, the Zoomers, will see the Second Coming of Christ.
If they live through the Tribulation, that is.
As to vaccines, as to precursors to the mark of the beast, it's time to start being wise, and stop being guinea pigs.
Impossible for men, yes.
But all things are possible with God.
Including being indwelled with the Holy Spirit of God, aka the Ruach Elohim, the Breath of God, that gives eternal life.
The very thing Adam and Eve lost because they disbelieved God, believed the devil, and disobeyed their one and only commandment.
That thing they lost, is what we call getting saved when recovered; being born again, this time in the Spirit, not just in the flesh/water.
No, it's quite linear. Believe, and be saved. Continue on in unbelief, and be condemned.
God has no use for people who cannot accept the plain truth of the universe.
It would be nice if you knew what you were talking about before you tried to teach others.
Fornicating spiritually is any religion that took you away from God.
Men did that from the Garden of Eden forward.
The mark of the beast is a currency and an ID and a work permit and a permit to buy and sell mandated by a One World Ruler we call the Antichrist.
It is at least 42 months in the future, today. At least.
But my how time flies.
round and round your projection goes, you mean.
You seem to have built up quite a resistance to the truth.
Tell me, do Walls and Wheels relate to you in any way?
Like, as in, controlled oppo?
Wizards and Warlocks?
Rev 13
Because of the signs it was given power to perform on behalf of the first beast, it deceived the inhabitants of the earth. It ordered them to set up an image in honor of the beast who was wounded by the sword and yet lived.
This has not happened yet.
Babylon has not fallen yet.
The mark of the beast bisects the Tribulation, and only comes after the Holy of Holies is defiled, and the sacrifices are stopped.
Which tells you what will happen in Jerusalem's near future; a temple with a Holy of Holies and animal sacrifices.
Which have already begun.
>they, too, will drink the wine of God’s fury"
by the way, this is the 1/2 mark of the tribulation, the time of God's wrath.
So that verse quite literally contradicts your opinion, and supports what I have told Anons for years now.
It's possible, yes.
It's possible that you change your mind and are adopted into God's family.
Either way, God knew what you were going to do before he made the world, and before he sent his Son to die on a cross to redeem you.
There is one thing God absolutely will not forgive, and that is blasphemy of the Holy Spirit.
Ergo, most people are in hell for blaspheming the Holy Spirit.
And by that, I mean most people are in hell.
There's no such thing.
Blasphemy of the Holy Spirit is not accepting the free gift of salvation that the death of Jesus made possible.
It's not believing God.
God is not going to force you to believe him, but he's also got no use for anyone who cannot do the most obvious thing ever.
Acknowledge the one true and living God as the sole means of salvation from a fallen and sinful world.
Wow, what total and absolute bullshit. Re-trying this donkey of a case, and still chasing the General for an "emoluments violation".
In the scenario I am talking about, a child is not held responsible for his actions until he reaches the age of accountability, about which there is much debate.
It is possible it's as late as 20.
Indeed it is.
As are all of man's religious attempts to clean himself up to be like God, following the devil's advice.
No, it's a currency.
Current working theory: A crypto/bitcoin named after the Antichrist.
Don't know who that is.
First Adam: Sinned and died and had stillborn children.
Second Adam (Jesus): Never sinned, died, rose from the dead, and grants eternal life.
It doesn't get much simpler than that.
If you only have the first Adam in your family tree, and you do, but not adoption into Jesus' family, then you go where the dead go.
Believe, and be saved.
Believe not, and be condemned.
Seriously, how much simpler can it be?
And nobody has ever used their knowledge of Good and Evil to be like God.
And yet, most people are condemned because they have used their knowledge of Good and Evil to be like God.
Which is what the devil told our ancestors.
It was always a lie.
It was never possible to be like God.
And even the devil in his rebellion did not seek to be above God, but to be like God.
It's not a parable.
You know that you can't understand parables when you say the mark of the beast is a parable.
So, one of us has a false understanding, and the other of us is me.
Jesus told the pharisees they were danger close to the unforgivable sin, blasphemy of the Holy Spirit, when they said that Jesus threw out demons in the name of Beezelbub.
That's blasphemy of the Son, which was forgiven, but Unbelief, which is blasphemy of the Holy Spirit, as the Holy Spirit is witness to all men that Jesus Christ is the living Son of God, raised from the dead, is unforgiveable.
Unbelief is unforgiveable.
Eternal life requires an act of Belief.
Jesus is the most famous person in the world, written of in both the best selling books of all time.
I believe you have heard of him.
>My honest search for good and decent life, freedom, health and happiness
Only Jesus is Good.
Only Jesus grants Life.
Only Jesus sets men Free.
Only Jesus grants eternal Health.
Only Jesus grants Joy, which is as above happiness as the sky is above the land.
Your self-professed search must be in its infancy.
No, it isn't.
What Jesus said, with his mouth, is Believe, and be saved, but Believe not, and be condemned.
Matthew 12
“Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters. And so I tell you, every kind of sin and slander can be forgiven, but blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven. Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but anyone who speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the age to come.
Yes, Jesus made it quite clear.
Explain the higher and lower story of the parable of the mark of the beast then.
And you can't tell a parable from a metaphor from an allegory.
None of them.
People claimed to be apostles of Jesus, taught a different gospel, and were called out as phonies.
Nope.
Speaking against the Holy Spirit is calling the Holy Spirit a liar.
The Holy Spirit, who told you that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the Living God.
You saying Jesus is not, is speaking against the Holy Spirit.
Who do you think God the Father will side with?
You, or the Holy Spirit of God?
And in terms of the mark of the beast, seeing as how it allows men to buy and sell, it is a currency.
One that is worldwide, after the collapse of fiat currency.
Remember who told you first that there would be a global digital currency.
It was John, writing on the island of Patmos, in 97 AD.
It's neutral territory for people who do not trust each other at all.
Quite the opposite is true, as is common for you folks.
Yeah, they did.
Now show me where they prayed about that first, where God told them to roll a dice to see which one was in the club, and then for extra points, point out anything Mathias did later on.
No, you're missing the point, as usual.
All religions are run by the devil and intended to separate you from God.
Jesus came to give men life, freely, by believing in Him.
Religions are systems of bondage.
Being in Christ Jesus is being free.
Literally the opposite of religion.
Absolutely is not, as an unforgiveable sin lands you in eternal hell.
Are you saying a man can be saved, and spend eternity in hell?
What use then is there in saving him?
Because the premise of your statement is false.
The mark of the beast is not a parable.
It is not even an allegory or a metaphor.
I am glad that you are interested in the things of the bible, but since you lack the Holy Spirit as a teacher, you have as much of a chance understanding the bible as a bible thrown into a lion's den for their use.
I do, and you don't, again, which is the theme of today's bread apparently.
The amount of gold Solomon took in tribute has nothing to do with the fact that the letters in Hebrew and Greek have numerical values attached to them.
Have you been here long enough to hear the term "gematria"?
Since you've missed the point with quite literally each one of your points, I think "as usual" is justified.
Yes.
You can meet him right now, right where you are, and if you search for him with all of your heart, you will find him.
And you will absolutely in your lifetime see him with your own eyes, and size him up properly.
Actually, I said that since it is not a parable, metaphor, or allegory, your assertion that it is one of those things is false.
An assertion you have not, and honestly cannot, refute.
What a sad universe that would be, were that to be the truth.
But the truth is, Anon, I did not create this universe.
Maybe start with that small sage piece of truth, and develop an appetite for the truth going forward?
satanic gibberish
So, comms/oss/gerbil baker, make sure to put it into the notables for like the fifth time.
Nothing about the mark of the beast points to Solomon.
The amount of gold he took in tribute in one year does; 666 talents, which is billions of dollars worth of gold. He was very rich.
And had nothing to do with the mark of the beast, or the number of the man, which is six hundred and sixty and six.
Spelled out.
Like, for instance, when Paul was alive, Nero was their antichrist for that age. Nero sums to 666.
I think if you reconsider that strategy, maybe you'll realize that the sooner you do the inevitable, the better.
And if you wait until you see Jesus after you die, and know then that He is Lord, and God, and alive, that it is too late.
He required you to believe without being forced to believe.
You should, indeed, seek Jesus.
And when you find Jesus, confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.
And gain the indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit of God.
And finally be equipped to understand even the simplest things in the bible, which are clearly beyond your brute force attempts now.
I do get tired of seeing satanic gibberish in the notables.
It's a real black mark on this place that satan's spawn's gospel makes it into the Notables.
Perhaps you disagree?
Your lies never will spread the gospel, or increase the Kingdom of God.
You attack the Kingdom with every lie you post.
And I will continue to point out your lies as long as I draw breath.
People need the real Jesus, not the one you think you know something about.
Just think of eternity as it always being "now".
Because it's just always being "now".
Time is a measure of decay, and there is no decay in heaven.
heaven is better than anything you can imagine; that's a promise of God. And he keeps his promises.
And knows how to impress.
Aye, I'm not an amillenialist.
Catholic used to mean universal.
Now it just means the Roman Catholic Church, aka the Mother Son Cult, aka Mystery Babylon.
