666: "Born Again" To Satan
To take the “Mark of the Beast: 666” will be an experience of complete
identification with Satan’s Antichrist. The term, “Thinking Outside the
Box,” fits this experience perfectly. A “Born Again” Christian has
received the Mind of Christ. Satan’s plan is an imitation or a perfect
opposite of God’s wonderful salvation in Christ. Even as I write, our
world is slowly moving towards a mindset in preparation for this fateful
hour. We have talked much about the nature of the Antichrist but little
about the nature of those that take his “Mark.” In absolute terminology,
the Holy Bible declares that no soul can return to God, be forgiven, or
cleansed that has crossed the barrier to this “Mark of the Beast.” It is
not just an economic identification into the commerce of the One World
Order; but, a complete devotion to the false christ that Satan produces.
Each person that is “Born Again” to Satan will be one with him and a
perfect clone of his ultimate evil. I confess to you that it is scary.
An Angel of God gives a warning to
everyone of us and will certainly give the same warning to the world’s
population in the prophesied hour. We see this angel speaking these
words with a loud voice so that all may hear.
“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, The same shall
drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without
mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with
fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the
presence of the Lamb: And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for
ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the
beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the Mark of his Name.
(Capitalization Add ed)” (Revelation 14:9-11).
This kind of language sends a clear
message that we are dealing with an extremely dark human development.
The multitude that accepts this ultimate lie of Satan and worships his
false christ in opposition to Biblical truth will pay an incredible
price. This entire movement toward the Antichrist is already a mammoth
organized groups of people with millions of devotees.
Remember the words of Jesus Christ when he
said, “For
many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many”
(Matthew 24:5). The multitude that swooned at Todd Bentley’s -- short
period in the arena -- is a perfect example. While covered in tattoos
that his Jesus told him to get, he spoke of the name of Jesus, but not
the Biblical Jesus. There is already an incredible company of such
messengers preparing for the end. With the inspiration of the Spirit and
ample research, I have named a number of those both deceived and
deceivers.
The transformation of those that take the
Antichrist’s “Mark” is awesome. They will become one with Satan and will
possess his very nature. This multitude, consisting of billions, will be
more like a wild animal than a human. The dark truth of this evil is
that it will often be hidden underneath a veneer of lamb-like qualities.
One minute they are singing the praise of this beast, but in the next
minute they will thrust you with a sword because you reject him. Here is
that description,
“And I beheld another beast coming up out of the
earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. And
he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth
the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose
deadly wound was healed” (Revelation
13:11-12).</ div>
This description of the lamb with
horns is a perfect blend of the religious qualities of piety with
the blasphemy of truth. To add to this deceiving blend will be
paranormal powers that excite the emotions and produce unexplainable
miracles.
“And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from
heaven on the earth in the sight of men, And deceiveth them that
dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power
to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the
earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the
wound by a sword, and did live”
(Revelation 13:13-14). Presently, we are dealing with the “Spirit of
Antichrist.” After the Rapture and the seven years of the Great
Tribulation begin it will be the “Person of the Antichrist” and all
hi s devotees.
“And all that dwell upon the earth shall
worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the
Lamb slain from the foundation of the world”
(Revelation 13:8).
The taking of the “Mark” is a
spiritual transformation into this realm of Satanism. The multitudes
will believe unquestionably that they are following the true Christ
and worshipping the God of the Universe. A “martyr” complex will
possess them and their love of their “god” will cause them to
blaspheme the “Lord God” and the “Lamb of God.” The love of one’s
family will be utterly lost in devotion to the false Christ. The Son
of God warned us,
“Now the brother shall betray the brother to
death, and the father the son; and children shall rise up against
their parents, and shall cause them to be put to death”
(Mark 13:12).
“And ye shall be betrayed both by
parents, and brethren, and kinsfolks, and friends; and some of you
shall they cause to be put to death”
(Luke 21:16).
Can you imagine a world where only one
religion is tolerated and that religion is controlled by this False
Prophet and his followers. Even Satan will come to hate this crowd
of his own worshippers. They will become more evil than he can
tolerate and he will inspire the Antichrist to burn the city of
Mystery Babylon with fire. “And
the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the
whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her
flesh, and burn her with fire”
(Revelation 17:16). The hatred of Satan, his Antichrist, and his
False Prophets will also possess all these that take the “Mark” and
they will begin to destroy each other.
The judgment of this End Time
deception will be swift.
“And the beast was taken, and with him the
false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he
deceived them that had received the “Mark of the beast”, and them
that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of
fire burning with brimstone” (Revelation
19:20). Every soul that takes this worldwide “Mark” will be cast
into the eternal Lake of Fire with the Beast.
This world under Satan’s control is
determined to get you used to “Thinking Outside the Box of Holy
Scripture.” No soul can be deceived that is utterly faithful to the
word. “For
ever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven”
(Psalms 119:89). Any man or woman that claims revelation apart from
Holy Scripture is helping prepare the way for the “Mark of 666.”
Deception is always a process and the helmet of salvation is the
Word of God.
