There are many ideas and many interpretations. The answers are within the Bible itself to anything that is stated. The hard part is sorting through the translations and interpretations.
There appears to be a question from a person who wants to justify something? And debate something I said? I would have answered had I been following the social media which I don’t follow social media like that, of which I learned it was an email to me which I often don’t check that as well as I should. I just don’t have time. But since this was pushed at me in a previous blog comment like I was dodging a debate or something like that… and it is a good topic, and a good person, I will answer it.
First of all to calculate or adding up is not the same thing as witchcraft and conjuring up things with the Kaballah in dark rooms in circles is not the same thing as being forewarned of the number of the beast in Revelation. And adding things on a calculator is not witchcraft, nor did I ever say it was. Smile.
Addressing Wisdom, that is of the Holy Spirit, and not a thing man can go and calculate. To say such things is blasphemy to the Holy Spirit and shows lack of understanding and much disrespect for what is most Holy to God. Just saying.
And to address the astrology… it was astronomy that the wise men watched the skys for keeping track of days, years, and the alignment that was promised of the coming Messiah. I’m sure there were more than three of them. As the Bible doesn’t say there were 3?? It does not say at all how many there were. The Eastern tradition sets the number of Magi at 12, but Western tradition sets their number at three, probably based on the three gifts of “gold, frankincense and myrrh” that were presented to Jesus in Matthew 2:11. The purpose of the gold, frankincense and myrrh were significant as these were the gifts God had the angels give to Adam in the cave of treasures to comfort him of the coming Messiah that would allow him back into his heavenly body in Paradise. The gifts the angels gave to him were gold, frankincense and myrhh. This is written in the story of Adam, and also written by James the brother of Jesus in the book of Adam.
These gifts were brought by the Priests of the East also known as Magi for gifts of value and worth, but, also as a symbolic sign that Jesus was the one promised to Adam… that would come and was here. For it was also kept in the Hebrew records the number of five and a half days promised by God to Adam of when the Messiah would come. Which in the books we aren’t to read, Adam was told that a thousand years is as a day, and in 5 and a half days God would be allowed back in paradise through the coming of His Son. Therefore those in the Temple had kept track of the days since Adam, to the 5,500 years and knew it was around the time that the Messiah would come. They were watching for His coming. That is why the priests asked of John the Baptist…”are you the Messiah that is to come?”
There were stars aligned that portrayed future events. Astronomers watched for such signs as in the age of the Bull, the age of Pisces, and the coming age of Aquarius, the alignment of Orion, and the North Star. The perverted form of such inspired measurements of the stars were astrology and fortune telling based on the stars. This was what God had condemned, the soothsayers and fortune tellers mocking God’s original intentions of signs in the skys. Satan has always taken what is Gods and mockingly perverted it for his own purposes. The prophets and Jesus has warned of that and pointed it out.
As far as a set date… Jesus Himself had no set date of His return and said only His Father knew the day, time and the hour. We are to watch for the signs and to know the season we are in. And those signs were given to us…as in the days of Noah and the days of Sodom and Gomorrah. The Lord said He did not come to bring peace but a sword… Matthew 1-:34-36. The days of great tribulation were at hand and he gave the first disciples the signs to watch for and told them when they saw Jerusalem surrounded by armies to know that it was time to flee Judaea, and when that day came, for it happened as Jesus said, at the end of the 3.5 years of witnessing to the Jews in Judaea, so they fled as persecutions had begun and armies were out to arrest and kill the radical followers of the way of Jesus.
This time was also marked by the stoning of Stephen and his final words, that great turmoil broke out as the truth told to the Jews, Pharisees and priests angered them and they wanted every follower of Jesus gone. Acts Chapter 7 and 8 tell us that it was in the words of Stephen that the time had come to go to the gentiles, Acts 8:4-5, ” 4Therefore they that were scattered abroad went every where preaching the word. 5Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and preached Christ unto them.”
In Luke chapter 21 Jesus is talking to his disciples and of what they can expect and what to do… he is not speaking of somewhere 2,000 years off into the distance as some have taught. Luke 21:9-22 he tells his disciples, “9 But when ye shall hear of wars and commotions, be not terrified: for these things must first come to pass; but the end is not by and by. 10 Then said he unto them, Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: 11 And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven.
Jesus is clear that before any of that takes place… he told his disciples explicitly, this is what they are going to do to you!!!
Luke 24: 12 “But before all these, they shall lay their hands on you, and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues, and into prisons, being brought before kings and rulers for my name’s sake. (And they did!!)
13 And it shall turn to you for a testimony. 14 Settle it therefore in your hearts, not to meditate before what ye shall answer: 15 For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist. 16 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. 17 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake. 18 But there shall not an hair of your head perish. 19 In your patience possess ye your souls.
All of that came to pass… and he let them also know what to look for to know when it would be time to go to the other nations… the gentiles….
Luke 24: 20-24, “20 And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh. 21 Then let them which are in Judaea flee to the mountains; and let them which are in the midst of it depart out; and let not them that are in the countries enter thereinto. 22 For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.
23 But woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck, in those days! for there shall be great distress in the land, and wrath upon this people. 24 And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.
We see that the people were all led away captive into all nations and the Jews were trodden down and the temple fell and the Jews who heeded and left were without a land. They went to the nations of the gentiles just as the Lord said by the word of the Prophets which were to be fulfilled. Just as the Lord said in verse 22 of the days of vegeance that all things written may be fulfilled. Today we are yet in the times of the Gentiles… and there are many things yet being fulfilled and we are watching it.
As the Lord then said in Luke 24:25-28, “25 And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; 26 Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken. 27 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. 28 And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.” As was also spoken of by the prophets.
Great tribulation began in the days of the first followers of the way and have continued on ever since.
Unless you think being dismembered limb by limb while alive and tortured in every way imaginable and burned at the stake in the Circus Maximus for being a follower of the Messiah, Jesus the Christ is not great tribulation? And if you believe being hunted down and slaughtered for not believing every manner of false interpretation and man made rules and commands being applied by the Constantine god on earth religion, and being tortured and killed if you disagreed with it, is not great tribulation? Than believe all that you choose for we all have free will to do just that.
We now address Revelation Chapter 13.
We see first in the original Greek word that was used that the word transcribed as count… was originally intended to be “he account for” which is a verb and takes a different meaning… and or can be used as to count, for to count is also another way to account for something such as how much money do you have?
That being said… this has nothing to do with the subject matter I expressed in the blog being questioned, but is another subject all together that has to do with Bible interpretation of the number of the beast as a sign and that number is the number of a man.
It can read that “Here the wisdom, it is the having mind, he account for the number of the animal number, for of man it is and the number of it 600,60,6.”
“And he makes all the less and the great and the wealthy and the destitute and the lawfully free and the workers that they might give to them trademark, unto of the of hand of them of the, of the right or unto of the, of foreheads of them and that not some he may be able to buy or to sell if not the having the trademark the name of the of animal or the number of the of name of it.” Read: Revelation 13 Greek interlinear, parsed and per word translation, free online (abarim-publications.com)
Or right hand or forehead… this is of deeds and thoughts. The Bible is filled with scriptures teaching of how a man thinks so is his works. Jesus came with the new covenant which He refered to the heart and ones fruits. Which God judges the heart is also told by the Prophets. Discernment and Wisdom are given by the Holy Spirit. All of one’s deeds are done with free will, which is the process of the mind. What we feel, think and choose. The symbol of the right hand and forehead is symbolic of ones deeds and thoughts… the mind and the pineal gland. Which is a deep topic…but the Lord said…The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light. But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. (Matt 6:22-23, KJV). The eye is the limbic portion of the brain. The pineal gland. Ephesians 1:18 “The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints.”
So where do we find out more on this? It is written in the new and the old testament. We seek for all the answers in the Bible. There is no other place to find the answers that we seek of the meaning of the Word, except through the guidance of the gift of the Holy Spirit when we seek the answers.
There are also other prophetic books that explain things that were deemed forbiden by men. Not by God, nor the prophets but by men. Such as the books of Jubilees, Enoch, Jasher and Gad, for these were all mentioned by certain prophets as witnesses to their words being truely of God. Even in the book of Jude he quotes Enoch and the Lord’s return.
Back to the Greek word for number. Translaters chose to use the English word “number” for the original Greek word used, which meant a “trademark” (see chart above) … and this points to the exchanges of currency and wealth, moreso than any other form of mark. As it was the number of man and that number six hundred three score and six, (666,000), cross references with gold and wealth in 2 Chronicals 9:13 and 1Kings 10:14, “14 Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred threescore and six talents of gold.” Which was the tribute (taxes) the nations of the earth paid to Solomon yearly. The Bible always cross references with another scripture as a witness. What is written in Revelation can be found in the books of the prophets.
Now let us look back at the law for kings in Deuteronomy 17, It prohibits the king from multiplying horses and chariots, wives, and wealth. Solomon does this in 1 Kings 10-11. Chapter ten begins by commending his great wisdom and wealth and then as it continues we watch his falling away and decline. The talents of gold sent to him yearly was tribute and taxes which later was a burden on nations. Solomon also begins to violate other commands that are an abomination to God and sets up his own fall aside from multiplying horses and chariots, and finally multiplying wives who turn his heart away from following the commands of God. He builds places of false worship for the foreign gods of his wives and sacrifices to one and loses God’s glory. So, the number 666 is associated with Solomon in his fall, his abuse of power, and his turning away from true worship of God. Which is the nature of the beastly or animal kingdom run without God.
All things written in Revelation can be found in the words of the Prophets and Jesus.
Throughout the ages man has had a system of monetary exchanges. Historically, man’s greed has always been a downfall. Jesus spoke man cannot serve two masters. He spoke of mammon and God. You can’t serve both. Mammon is the god of wealth, money and the greedy pursuit of gain. The Lord said that money was the root of all evil. Would it not be obvious that in his Revelation to John he would not again express this and show the cunning manners in which it will be doled out? Be it a name, a mark, or the number of the name… all of that points to the same greed of this very day. Even the fiat dollar with nothing to back it up but air. Alchemy of modern day’s finest and now we have crypt-o currency too. We have charge cards, debit cards, checks, fiat dollars, crypto currency, petro standard, gold standard, silver, copper, nickle coins… we have digital transfers and digital dollars. Whatever form required to buy or sell is what we shall have to buy and sell. Today banks will not take a junk of silver or gold weighed out to make a payment. You have to have another form of payment. You must go cash in your gold or silver for the current mark of the beast that is their acceptable method of payment.
Many believe it is the new social credit system…well if that is the only way to buy or sell… then that will be included in the trademark of whatever is acceptable by those who rule the world by owning the wealth of it.
Today there are many checks and balances in place that are falling, falling such as the “Money Laundering with Immunity: The Control Framework Part 3 – World Economic Forum Protected”, of which Corey Digs did a great story on that covering the immunity plus, plus, plus by the Swiss Bankers down to the House of Rothschild and the Beastly Kingdom extention of the World Economic Forum of Klaus Schwab.
Excerpt: “On 23 January 2015, a meeting took place between the head of the FDFA, Didier Burkhalter, and the executive chairman of the WEF, Klaus Schwab, on the margins of the annual meeting of the WEF in Davos at which an agreement was signed confirming the status of the WEF in Switzerland in compliance with the Host State Act of 22 June 2007 (HSA, SR 192.12).
“At its meeting on 17 December 2014, the Federal Council recognised the WEF as an “other international body” as defined in the Host State Act and approved the agreement, the purpose of which is to confirm the status of foundation that the World Economic Forum enjoys in Switzerland. This status is based on the WEF’s important role for Switzerland, and provides for closer cooperation between the Swiss Confederation and the WEF in its field of activity. The substance of the agreement corresponds to agreements that the Federal Council has already concluded with other organisations of this kind and provides, for example, for facilities in the recruitment of personnel.“

It has been a propaganda war from the beginning, the same as fake news can blast anyone of us here. We are watching all of this since COVID which was a world wide display of nation leaders agreeing to do harm to their own people for a global set of goals. This is clearly defined in the scriptures and in reading what shall befall the nations who do such things was spoken by the prophets… Revelation explains the beast when you read it described in Revelation 17. Most importantly in verses 9-11. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth. (Biblically mountains are governments and this is explained as seven kings of empires as five were fallen (Egypt, Assyria, Babylon, Mede Persia, Greece) one is (Rome) and one is yet to come (Great Britain which was the largest of all empires in the history of the world).
10 And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space.
11 And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.(The beast that was and is not…is the eighth and made up of the seven which represents all nations and or global but, it goes into perdition which means DESTRUCTION. It doesn’t get to be what it desires, even though it raises its ugly head at us and the nations give their power over to it for a short time. This is where we are at.
The Bible tells us everything those with eyes to see, shall see it. To bow down to do its will is what we are right now resisting. Revelation also tells us, and so do the prophets, that the kings will be angry with the beast and burn her with fire.
Daniel is given the interpretation of King Nebuchadnezzar’s dream of which at that time his empire was reigning. He foretells that a stone uncut with human hands hitting the feet and the toes of the beast kingdom and setting up a kingdom that will never be destroyed. For we are in the iron of Rome’s democracy, and clay God’s Kingdom, the two do not mix. The largest empire in history has been Great Britain which was also mixed with that of Iron and Clay. It reigned a short while and now we are yet in the time of the gentiles which mean nations. The kingdom of God is what is coming and the stone uncut with human hands shall strike the feet and the toes of miry clay and knock down all of the beasts global dominating plans. And that is what is coming. Amen.
Everything we need to know of what is coming and taking place is found in the word of God. The battle has been raging and as the Lord said he did not come to give peace but a sword. And warned of great tribulation that began in the days of the first followers of the way. Amen.
So add it all up… it is in the book and one must search for the truth, for the Lord said not to cast pearls among swine lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you, Matthew 7:6. It simply means not to offer something valuable or sacred to you to someone who does not appreciate it or understand it. Therefore debates are truly not anything I want to get into. They are distractions and time wastes. But, this one presented so many opportunities to show scripture, that is was well worth any trampling. And this is merely what I have discerned in seeking truth. Each must seek the truth through the scriptures for themselves with the Holy Spirit guiding them. There are many things I have yet to learn, and at times need to adjust as I grow in understanding. I am not a pastor, nor a prophet, but am a child of God as are all who believe and faith in the Lord God.
KEEP ON PRESSING INTO THE KINGDOM OF GOD. PRESS, PRESS, PRESS!
