The mark of the beast is hypocrisy. Hypocrisy is when we treat individuals unequally, having respect of persons for one reason or another. Let’s say I am kind and have patience with my own children, but I’m unkind and impatient with children that are not mine. That’s the mark, duality by being double minded; I’m minded to do two opposing things depending on who I direct the thought toward. But if I am kind and exercise patience with all people then I am counted as being unspotted from the world. The number of his name proves this time and time again.
