mark of the beast
1. Animals without spirituality
(1) Animal people
Psalm 92:6 The beasts do not understand, neither do fools.
Psalm 49:20 A man who remains in dignity without awakening is like a dead beast.
ask: What is a beastman?
answer: "Human spirituality" is like that of livestock. They do not believe in the true God. The Creator still wants to believe that humans evolved from animals and livestock, and believe in "Darwin's" theory of evolution! Those who admit that they evolved from animals are snakes, dragons, pigs, dogs, etc. This type of people are called animal people.
It turns out that the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodly and unrighteous people, those who act unrighteously and obstruct the truth. What can be known about God is revealed in their hearts, because God has revealed it to them. Since the creation of the world, God's eternal power and divine nature have been clearly known. Although invisible, they can be understood through the things created, leaving man without excuse. Because, although they knew God, they did not glorify him as God or give thanks to him. Their thoughts became futile, and their foolish hearts were darkened. Claiming to be wise, they became fools and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling corruptible man and birds, beasts and creeping things. Reference (Romans 1:18-23)
(2) Animals without spirituality
2 Peter Chapter 2 Verse 12 But it seems that these people have no spirit and are born as animals to be captured and killed. When they slander things they do not know and are corrupting others, they themselves will suffer corruption.
Jude 1:10 But these people slander what they do not know. They knew by nature the same things as the soulless beasts, and in this they corrupted themselves.
2. Worship the image of the beast and follow the beast
ask: What is the image of the beast?
answer: Detailed explanation below
(1)In ancient times, the Israelites cast golden calves
The LORD said to Moses, “Go down, for your people, whom you brought out of the land of Egypt, have become corrupt. They have quickly turned aside from the way I commanded them. They made themselves a molten calf and worshiped it. Offer sacrifices and say, 'This is your god, O Israel, who brought you out of the land of Egypt.'" Exodus 32:7-8.
(2) Babylonian golden statue
"O king, you dreamed of a great image. The image was very tall and very shining. It stood before you, and its appearance was very terrible. The head of the image was of pure gold, its chest and arms were of silver, and its belly and waist were of pure gold. Bronze, the legs are of iron, the feet are part iron and part clay (Daniel 2:31-33).
(3) Man-made false idols
They exchanged God's truth for a lie and worshiped and served creation instead of the Creator. The Lord is blessed forever and ever. Amen! Romans 1:25
(4) Make the beast image alive and able to speak
And power was given to him to give life to the image of the beast so that it could speak, and to cause everyone who did not worship the image of the beast to be killed. Revelation 13:15

Note: The beast that comes up from the sea refers to → the man of sin appears → and begins to receive the mark
2 Another beast came up from the earth
And I saw another beast coming up out of the earth, having two horns like a lamb, and speaking like a dragon. Revelation 13:11
Note: The beast that comes up from the earth refers to the false prophet, who comes into the world to deceive people.
ask: What does this "beast" represent?
answer: The “beast” refers to the kingdom that represents the world.
→→These four great beasts are the four kings who will rise in the world. Refer to Daniel Chapter 7 Verse 17
→→This is what the attendant said: “The fourth beast is the fourth kingdom that will come into the world, and it will be different from all the other kingdoms. It will devour the whole earth and trample it under its feet. Daniel 7:23
ask: What do the ten horns of this “beast” refer to?
answer: Ten kings emerged from this "kingdom".
→→The ten horns you see are the ten kings; they have not yet received the kingdom, but for a while they will have the same authority as the beasts and the same authority as the kings. Revelation 17:12
→→As for the ten horns, from this kingdom shall arise ten kings, Later another king arose , unlike the previous ones; he will subdue the three kings. Daniel 7:24

1 Many people will study it diligently, and knowledge will increase.
Daniel, hide this word and seal this book until the end of time. Many will be running to and fro (or translated as: earnestly studying), and knowledge will increase. "Daniel 12:4
2 Artificial intelligence creates monsters and beast statues
3 Has human eyes --Dan 7:8

3. The Mark of the Beast 666
(1) Received mark on right hand or forehead
It also causes everyone, big and small, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their forehead. (Revelation 13:16)
(2) All the people on earth followed the beast and worshiped the dragon
...and all the earth marveled and followed the beast and worshiped the dragon, because he gave his authority to the beast, and they worshiped the beast, saying, "Who is like this beast, and who can make war with him?" Revelation Record Chapter 13 Verses 3-4
ask: Why did all the people on earth follow the beast and worship the dragon at that time?
answer: As the book of Daniel says “ Careful research ”→artificial intelligence( Human-machine integration ) will appear, and people all over the world will have to rely on "monsters" for knowledge, just like today in 2022 AD, humans are highly dependent on "smartphones". For example, if people want to learn "English", then they only need to copy the "memory" accumulated in the "monster" to the "imprint" received by the person on their hands or forehead. People can have it without having to study "English" hard. This kind of language ability → "Knowledge will grow." At that time, those who received the "mark of the beast" will have a lot of knowledge and become "smart"; those who did not receive the mark of the beast will lag behind, because there will be no paper currency transactions at that time. If you do not receive the "mark of the beast", you will not be able to do business. , they will think you are strange, persecute you or even kill you. So the beast also causes everyone, great and small, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads. So, do you understand? Refer to Revelation 13:16
(3) Those whose names are not written in the book of life
Receive the mark of the beast → Everyone who dwells on the earth will worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb who was slain from the foundation of the world.

(4) The number of the mark of the beast is 666
No one may buy or sell except he who has the mark, the name of the beast, or the number of the beast's name. Here is wisdom: whoever understands, let him calculate the number of the beast; for it is the number of man, and his number is six hundred and sixty-six. (Revelation 13:17-18)
ask: What does 666 mean?
answer: The number of people who receive the mark of the beast.
" 7 " It means completely and represents God!
(1) Born of water and the Spirit
(2) Born from the true word of the gospel
(3) Born from God
The regenerated new man who is sealed by the Holy Spirit is " 7 "→ Represents the children of God, so" 7 ” means completely;
and" 6 "It means imperfect; to receive the mark of the beast" 666 "It's like half iron and half clay. People are eager to study it. Artificial intelligence appears as a human-machine integration." Half-animal, half-human ", become like a monster, this is not what God originally created out of dust" Adam "It's like this → Just as you have seen iron mixed with clay, the nation will also be mixed with all kinds of people, but they will not mix with each other, just as iron does not mix with clay. Reference (Daniel 2:43)
ask: What does "beast" represent?
