It was just some codes to act as fill in the blanks.

You can arrive at the following modern terms by all context clues found in Revelation chapter 13 (kjv)...

"fire" = coronavirus

"mark" = covid-19 vaccine

", save" = -- save (rapture)


Check it...

13And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,

Rev 13:13And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh coronavirus come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,

Rev 13:17And 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.

Rev 13:17And that no man might buy or sell -- save (rapture) he that had the covid-19 vaccine, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.


Now check it out in a more fuller context... (fill in the blanks with modern terms by the context clues...)

Rev 13 (kjv)

The Beast Out of the Earth

11And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. 12And 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. 13And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh _________ come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, 14And 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. 15And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.

The Mark of the Beast

16And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a ________________ in their right hand, or in their foreheads: 17And that no man might buy or sell_____________ he that had the ________________, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. 18Here 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.


The real rapture doesn't save the physical vessel. No, just the soul only. The soul will absorb into God. And in doing so, the soul will absorb into mate reality with Goddess. Goddess is God's best kept secret. These two do nothing but mate as an onward populating infinity of gods and goddesses, that regenerate after each reach of completion from mating.

That virus caused the world to descend into a state of a living hell.Then the vaccines caused the world to descend into an even worst state of a living hell.

You agree to receive the mark (vaxx) so that you can continue to buy or sell. The jobless wont be able to buy or sell, but will be there to get violent and loot out places. The people who won't agree to the mark (vaxx) will cause HELL ON EARTH seeing that they will remain jobless!

Sir, you have added to the word of God, and that Word states that having done so, you will receive ALL the plagues listed.

Could Covid be included?

Yeah, I don't know about all of that. Seems kind of a stretch to me. However ...

What I find interesting n this vein is is the Greek in Revelation 18:23, which says ...

καὶ φῶς λύχνου οὐ μὴ φάνῃ ἐν σοὶ ἔτι, καὶ φωνὴ νυμφίου καὶ νύμφης οὐ μὴ ἀκουσθῇ ἐν σοὶ ἔτι· ὅτι οἱ ἔμποροί σου ἦσαν οἱ μεγιστᾶνες τῆς γῆς, ὅτι ἐν τῇ φαρμακίᾳ σου ἐπλανήθησαν πάντα τὰ ἔθνη,

... or in English ...

and the light of a lamp will shine in you no more, and the voice of bridegroom and bride will be heard in you no more, for your merchants were the great ones of the earth, and all nations were deceived by your sorcery.

"Merchants, the great ones, that deceive all nations by their sorcery?"

Merchants are simply business interests that make money, generate profit. Great ones refers to those who have power, "lords" or "magistrates" megistanhj.

Sorcery? Hmmm, that's interesting in the original Greek. The Greek word is farmakeia from which we get the root of our words having to do with pharmaceuticals. It can refer, in the Greek, to medication ("pharmacy"), as well as magic, sorcery or witchcraft.

So, the verse is simply saying that powerful, controlling businessmen would deceive the nations by their farmakeia.

Take that as you may.

"fire" = coronavirus

Why ?

"mark" = covid-19 vaccine

How ?

", save" = -- save (rapture)

What ?

You're reading what you want to read into something that has nothing to do with what you want it to.

a reply to: gortex

There is increasing anxiety that the vaccine is the mark of the beast, and the more they press it on us and the more they mandate it, the more this will be a rising hysteria.

I don't believe it is simply because it will be completely clear when the time comes, and it will be connected in one way or another to worship of a sort, even if it's a secular form of worship (i.e, science worship).

a reply to: ketsuko

Agree

This is just a trial run on how to get compliance through fear.

There are many covid vaccines that work in many different ways. Some are nothing more than dead virus.

I never saw "Marks of the beast" meaning many.

The whole-microbe approach

Inactivated vaccine

The first way to make a vaccine is to take the disease-carrying virus or bacterium, or one very similar to it, and inactivate or kill it using chemicals, heat or radiation. This approach uses technology that’s been proven to work in people – this is the way the flu and polio vaccines are made – and vaccines can be manufactured on a reasonable scale.

However, it requires special laboratory facilities to grow the virus or bacterium safely, can have a relatively long production time, and will likely require two or three doses to be administered.

Live-attenuated vaccine

A live-attenuated vaccine uses a living but weakened version of the virus or one that’s very similar. The measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine and the chickenpox and shingles vaccine are examples of this type of vaccine. This approach uses similar technology to the inactivated vaccine and can be manufactured at scale. However, vaccines like this may not be suitable for people with compromised immune systems.

Viral vector vaccine

This type of vaccine uses a safe virus to deliver specific sub-parts – called proteins – of the germ of interest so that it can trigger an immune response without causing disease. To do this, the instructions for making particular parts of the pathogen of interest are inserted into a safe virus. The safe virus then serves as a platform or vector to deliver the protein into the body. The protein triggers the immune response. The Ebola vaccine is a viral vector vaccine and this type can be developed rapidly.

The subunit approach

The genetic approach (nucleic acid vaccine)

Unlike vaccine approaches that use either a weakened or dead whole microbe or parts of one, a nucleic acid vaccine just uses a section of genetic material that provides the instructions for specific proteins, not the whole microbe. DNA and RNA are the instructions our cells use to make proteins. In our cells, DNA is first turned into messenger RNA, which is then used as the blueprint to make specific proteins.

My theory is that the actual mark of the beast is - like the rest of the Apocalypse - symbolic language. I made a thread about this idea a little while back.

While there will eventually be some kind of mark or identification that one will need to buy and sell, the actual mark of the beast is, I believe, as symbolic as the rest of the book of Revelation.

What do the right hand and the head mean in scripture?

The right hand always signifies or indicates power, authority. Jesus is said to be seated at the right hand of God the Father. The right hand is used many times in scripture (Old and New Testaments) to indicate authority, power, control.

The head is simply the seat of our intellect and where we think, reason, discern right and wrong, good and evil.

I believe that the mark of the beast on the right hand of forehead indicates the point when a person gives over his autonomy (his power, his authority over his own life) to another who is not the Creator. The mark on the head is the surrender of that person's own ability to think clearly, to discern truth from lies, good from evil, reality from fiction.

Those two things are the real epidemic killing humanity now. People refuse to think. My own son told me recently, "I don't need to think for myself." People are incapable of discerning right from wrong, good from evil, truth from lies.

People are willing to turn over their own autonomy to others, to just do what the gov't says in the clear lack of any clear reason, thoughtful rational, logical thinking.

I believe that much of humanity has already taken the mark of the beast.

Well, let me add some fuel to the fire here. After working this Apocalypse issue over I figured out a few things. And one of the things is that there is 3 prophesies I can point out that puts a time line on it. And simply put to summarize all 3 it seems from the first century AD we went on a 3000 year timeline. With the Apocalypse of Revelation happening at the 2000 year mark roughly. Followed by the thousand year reign of the saints in Revelation.

So to put it simply it would seem the seven year Apocalypse is supposed to happen in the 2020s. And as my signature says it appears the "generation" of Matthew 24 started on or before May 15 1948 when a new nation of Israel was created. All things considered that appears to have been the 2nd fig leaf of the fig tree parables. So to put that simply it would appear the "generation of Matthew 24 is 73 and 1/2 years old about now. It would seem the generation is running out of time.

Now for the other two prophesies to consider. The first is the day of Jezreel prophecy of Hosea. This prophecy predicts that Israel and Judah were to face a long term top level Leviticus 26 curse. And in verse 6-2 we get the timeline of the curse. 2 days in the presence of the Lord followed by the day of Jezreel. BUT. According to Psalms 90 and 2nd Peter 3-8 those days are thousand year periods of time. The 2000 year curse is followed by a thousand year blessing. Again a 3000 year timeline and with the creation of a nation of Israel the end of the curse must be very close.

The 3rd prophecy is actually a slip of the tongue by Jesus Christ. In John 2 he made this prophecy.

19 Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.
20 Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days?
21 But he spake of the temple of his body.

The problem here is that this prophecy has 2 meanings. The first was his resurrection 3 days after his death on the cross. But there is another. Per 2nd Peter 3-8 those days are 1000 year periods of time. Now look at what Revelation tells us.

Revelation 21-22
And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it.

He may not have realized it at the time but by his slip of the tongue he dated the creation of New Jerusalem. 3000 years after his death. Take away a thousand years for the reign of the saints and you get approximately now.

And that's the story of the 3000 year timeline we're on currently.

a reply to: ntech

No doubt we're getting close.

But I have my doubts as to exactly where on that timeline we are. I think we're still looking at horsemen, and the mark comes after they set the world into chaos. I think the world plunges into such chaos that the mark is part of those who remain looking for something, anything to put the world back into order again, and the NWO, beast system looks that attractive that people will do something clearly wrong, sell their souls to be part of it just to have that order and security.

I don't believe it is simply because it will be completely clear when the time comes, and it will be connected in one way or another to worship of a sort, even if it's a secular form of worship (i.e, science worship).

Science relies on evidence from observation and as such is flexible and open to challenge , it requires no worship just understanding unlike religion which is fixed in its beliefs and intolerant of challenge.

The only "Beast" is Mankind itself.

First Beast is the Roman Empire or state, while the second basically is the vassal or office of it all, for it was given, while Lady Liberty was basically a liberal college ho at the time, whose stage name was Democracy that forced everyone to call her a god damn Virgin.

Judaism is also very much like Communism, and figure that one out.

and the rise in hysteria will bring about a persecution against Christians. they will be the first to die in the purges the Elites have planned for the US.

a reply to: incoserv

How about the Mark of the beast is a mark that is a number of a man.

Doesn't that work well?

the first to claim the scriptures were symbolic officially was the Roman Catholic Church. so that you would not see that they took over the priesthood (that God never gave them), They stole all the OT promises to Israel and placed them on the church (Which God never did), and lastly that you would not read the scriptures and see where they are told to call no man "Father", they are not to use repetitious prayer, andThey have to be a member of the RC Church or you are not saved (which is just not true).

A good straight forward reading of the Bible will clear all that up and show them a liar.
