Mark of the Beast Permanency - Kingship Theory

by Micah - 10/13/14 11:12 PM

End Times study isn't just a freak show! Can the Mark of the Beast teach us something very beautiful???

One of my biggest lifelong questions has always been: “Why can’t people who take the Mark of the Beast be redeemed?!”

My understanding of Jesus' forgiveness became impeded by a wall, whenever confronting those strange and stark verses at the end of the Book!

Recent damnable errors taught by the likes of John MacArthur grieve my spirit. Without repentance, he brashly promises life to those who take the mark. I know that he is but a domino, of the MANY prophesied to fall from the Truth. As a contender for the faith, I do not want to be one with blood on my hands on Judgment Day!

What can I share, that I believe will bless you, helping you to come to a place of understanding?

An opening prelude: There are a number of theories, some wackyish, but literally feasible with the technology today. For instance, in addition to financial power, some people think the mark will also involve a desirable vaccine, altering our DNA, stripping us of any desire to live holy and repentant (like the days of Noah, when men only thought evil continually). Some think it will splice in fallen angel DNA, promising healing genes, which is also why men will seek death, and not find it.

Who really knows?… Especially when those in power actually created a vaccine to remove the genes that aid our perception of God’s presence and voice!

Man-sourced theories have never cut it for me though, which is why I continually ask the question! I hinted that this wouldn't be a freak show!

So, why can’t people who take the Mark of the Beast be redeemed?!

First, I am reminded that we are living epistles (Strong’s G1992: a letter, epistle, dispatch, message):

2 Corinthians 3:3
King James Bible
Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart.

New Living Translation
Clearly, you are a letter from Christ showing the result of our ministry among you. This "letter" is written not with pen and ink, but with the Spirit of the living God. It is carved not on tablets of stone, but on human hearts.

Second, I am reminded that as living epistles (G1992: a letter, epistle, dispatch, message), we are also sealed by God!

Ephesians 4:30

King James Bible
And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.

Ezekiel 9:4,6a

King James Bible
And the LORD said unto him, Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry for all the abominations that be done in the midst thereof.

6Slay utterly old and young, both maids, and little children, and women: but come not near any man upon whom is the mark; and begin at my sanctuary

Revelation 7:3

King James Bible
Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads.

THIRD, I am reminded that as living epistles (a letter, epistle, dispatch, message), we are also sealed by the signet of God, IN OUR FOREHEADS!

Now for the Revelation contained within Esther. This passage concerns a problem, trying to find a way to undo what Haman had already sent out, in the name and with the Seal of the King’s Signet Ring. This is not only history for us, but reveals kingship principles that amaze me!

Esther 8:8

King James Bible
Write ye also for the Jews, as it liketh you, in the king's name, and seal itwith the king's ring: for the writing which is written in the king's name, and sealed with the king's ring, may no man reverse.

New Living Translation
Now go ahead and send a message to the Jews in the king's name, telling them whatever you want, and seal it with the king's signet ring. But remember that whatever has already been written in the king's name and sealed with his signet ring can never be revoked."

Notice the words, Written in the King’s Name, Sealed with the King’s Ring, and can Never be Revoked!

Revelation 13:16-17

King James Bible
16And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:

17And 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.

Revelation 14:11

King James Bible
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.

Jesus truly is the King of Kings!!! The Antichrist is also a king of kings, given his power by 10 lesser kings!

The same rules apply to all kings! Once their message has been written in their name, and finally sealed, it will now forever serve them. It will not return to the King void, but will be accomplished. What has been written and sent, WILL be carried out, and can NEVER be revoked!

Isaiah 55:11
King James Bible
So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.

Revelation 15:2
King James Bible
And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, andover the number of his name, stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God.

Revelation 22:3

3And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him: 4And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads.

As living epistles (a letter, epistle, dispatch, message), we will forever be sealed by the King of Kings’ Signet Ring, with the Mark of Jesus’ name in our foreheads, serving Him and what He has willed for all eternity!

I’m against Once Saved, Always Saved doctrine. I believe it to be very dangerous in the age of easy-believism, pray a prayer one time you don’t even understand and get told you’re eternally secure, etc.

I fall more in the camp of Once Truly Saved, Always Saved! Those who endure to the end, are truly saved. I believe scripture clearly warns that people can reject Jesus, fall away, after first having known him.

I believe that the “truly” saved will not be deceived into taking the mark. You could argue that once sealed by the Holy Spirit, that would supercede any future marks. But, the scriptures clearly show that ALL who take the mark of the beast are damned. There is no need to argue potential kingship clauses, at what point the sealing of Jesus’ name takes place for the believer, etc., when scripture is so plain concerning no exceptions for those marked by Antichrist.

Haman resembles the Antichrist, in the story of Esther. He even has 10 sons which are destroyed, like as the Antichrist's 10 kings.

Haman also carried the Kingly power in his hand.

Esther 3:10
10And the king took his ring from his hand, and gave it unto Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, the Jews' enemy.

Those who take the Mark of the Beast in their right hand, will be able to function as one with authority from Antichrist in his Kingdom (buying and selling).

Take a look at what happened, after Haman was destroyed!

Esther 8:2

King James Bible
And the king took off his ring, which he had taken from Haman, and gave it unto Mordecai. And Esther set Mordecai over the house of Haman.

I believe that even as Jesus’ name will be in our foreheads, we will also be given our own authority from Christ Jesus in our right hand!

Luke 15:22, 24

King James Bible
But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet:

24For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found. And they began to be merry.

We too were once lost, but found through Jesus. We too though dead, are made alive through Christ, and shall be forever raised at the resurrection of the just.

We too will receive glimmering robes of righteousness, the best robes there will ever be! We too shall be shod with His eternal peace, and His rest shall be glorious!

We too will make merry, enjoying the feast of all feasts when we are again returned to the Father!

His name, His ring, given to His restored Sons and Daughters!

I pray that you may grasp the beauty of Jesus’ Kingly authority, in the Mystery of our common Salvation!

Blessings,

Micah
