About the mark of the Beast; Could it be the mark of death?
ON DEATH: As I said yesterday, the mark of death is a mutation in the glorious being. Cain was a mutant being — an alien in the world to which Adam and Eve were cast out. Adam and Eve were not just two people but two kinds, or genetic families.
WHERE TO: Upon leaving the sanctuary of the Garden, they entered the physical world here. I believe, unlike most, that the Garden was Paradise in another realm and that the first two beings were cast out to populate this world.
EVIDENCE OF THAT: The basis of that belief is that before sin, as sacred literature says, Adam and Eve had bright natures. They were glorious creatures. Paradise, although it consisted of form things (the literal meaning for the Hebrew word translated “trees”) that it was in another realm. Adam and Eve were probably cast out into this world. Genesis chapter three is the provenance of that.
THEIR FOOD: While in the Garden they are only manna from heaven if the word for “herb” was translated rightly. They would have no need of digestive tracts in heaven and as scripture says, no need for sexual activity. Multiplication would have been a sort of “cloning” in the manner of the woman.
THEIR PROCREATION: The male was virile and the female receptive. It appears that Adam was the virile one with the Spirit of God, and the woman the receptive one. There were no genitalia required in the Garden for reproduction. In other words, mankind in the Image of God would not have been a sexual creature.
THE FIRST CASE OF DEATH: Cain was the first to experience spiritual death. It may be that out of envy that Cain wanted Abel to be dead like himself.
THE DEATH OF CAIN: Cain was born dead! He was not an “Adam” but an “Is” (pronounced eesh; Gen 4:1). He was just another kind of animal in the world.
Cain had lost his “groove” and never got it back. According to sacred literature his genetics was the cause of the end of the world in the days of Noah (Gen 6).
CAIN THE BEAST: Cain was no longer human, but a beast like his “father” the Devil. Cain was the first recipient of the genes from the Wicked One:
THE NATURE OF CAIN:
…We should love one another, not as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother's righteous. (1 John 3:11-12)
Abel had a righteous mature and Cain and evil nature. It was in their genetics because Abel was of God and had the “mark of God,” and Cain the “mark of the beast.” It was a genetic mark. If Cain was of the Wicked One, then Abel was of God, so one had the mark of God and the other the mark of the beast.
GENETICS: It is translated that Abel was the “brother” of Cain. More generally, Cain was kin to Abel because they shared the genetics of the woman.
Cain had a different “countenance” than Abel. He looked like Abel outwardly, but inwardly, he was more like his father the Devil, as “father” in scripture means genetics.
THE MARK OF THE BEAST IN CAIN: His countenance, or nature, was different from Abel’s because Abel was of God and Cain the Beast.
ABOUT THE BEAST: The “Beast” was Lucifer — the adversary of God called “Satan” Satan had entered the woman (beguiled her) just as IT would enter Judas long after.
BORN DEAD: ENTER DEATH: Just as death would enter Judas, death entered the woman, and a new kind mutated from her loins — an “IS” — a very different inglorious extant being.
Because of sin, the Image of God was exhumed from Adam and Eve and by grace they would not die at that time. On the other hand, Cain was born dead, and so are all of us.
INIQUITY: King David
admitted his defect:
2 Wash me throughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin… 5 Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me. (Psalm 51:5)
INIQUITY EQUALS GENETIC DEPRAVITY: “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God… (Gen 3:23). Everyone is born with the mark of the Beast, and only Jesus can change what we are!
BORN AGAIN: “Marvel not; you must be born again” (John 3:7). Rebirth is genetic. “Born again” is literally “engendered from (God) above.”
DE-GLORIFICATION: So, to
be de-glorified, one must first be glorified. Glorification begins with rebirth
and ends with a new spirit (a new creature in Christ) and the new creature is
whole again with the reception of new, incorruptible flesh.
The Devil, Satan, de-glorifies and that is only for Christians who apostatize and take the mark. The “lost” already have the mark of the Beast because they are of the wicked ones as well. They are of Cain and Satan. The lost are “beasts” and they are branded that way within.
GENOME: Satan is in our
Genome. He (It) is our “brand.”
Rebirth, which only Jesus can do,
is removal of our evil “brand” and a re-branding with the Word of God.
Satan is like a rustler that altars the brand and re-brands the beasts as his own. To re-brand means that first one must belong to another.
THE RE-BRANDING:
16 And he (the Beast) causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: 17 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. 18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six. (Rev 13:16-18)
First off, everybody receives the mark. Glossed over is the “free and bond.” Christians have been set free and others kept in bondage. We all will be tested. For those who already belong to Satan, the mark is already there so to take it again is of no cocern to them. Only for Christians — the free — will it be a test of faith.
“He causes”… Note that the mark is mandated for all, so big deal for so many!
THE MARK: The mark is literally an image. Just as Adam received the mark of God — the Image of God — Cain received the mark of the Beast — the Image of the Beast. Just as Adam was made glorious, Cain was made inglorious. His nature became evil. So goes the outcome of the mark of the Beast. It is an internal mark, perhaps a mutation of the mark of God — re-genning.
The right hand from the Greek is merely to receive on the right side, not specifically, the hand.
Where translated “forehead,” in general it is “in the midst” or perhaps a change of mind, or nature. While we look for a stamp or marker on the right hand or forehead, it may be on the hip, or in even in the mind or both. Satan is cleverer than us!
ETERNAL DEATH: For those
who are re-branded for Satan, death ensues. Remembering that “surely die”
is literally die, die, die; then taking the mark in the end is the final death
of what we think of as “Adam’s kind.” For those who have or take the mark, the third
or final death comes, “the smoke of their torment ascends up for ever and ever”
(Rev 14:11). That is death, death.
He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says unto the
churches; He that overcomes shall not be hurt of the second (or more generally another
death) death. (Rev 2:11)
