My Sheep Hear My Voice- Rev. 13:17

My Sheep Hear My Voice- Rev. 13:17

Before Jesus was crucified He told the disciples to watch and pray, something so simple, but they let their physical bodies take over and they fell back asleep. In these last hours of time you need to hear His voice. When He tells you something, it is very important, but most ignore my voice or just discuss it and go on with what they were doing. You will see many things start to happen shortly and if you do not hear and obey His voice,... it will mean death for some of you....Jesus has only your best interest in mind. Christ knows you heart, and if you are truly His you will hear His voice. He awakes many of you at 3am on the dot, but most will roll over and go back to sleep. There are a few who will get up and pray. Your day is filled with so many things and Jesus is the last thing many of you give your time to. But Christ needs to talk to you,... to fellowship with you and only when you are still and quite (3am) can you hear Him,... the rest of your day is so busy you do not have time for Him,... but you need to make time, for time is short and the Lord has instructions for you.

The Beast Out of the Earth

The Second Beast

And 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.13:17

the mark, or... Three Brands of Antichrist

1. A mark (Rev. 13:16-17; 14:9-11; 15:2; 16:2; 20:4-6). That this is different from either the name or the number of his name is clear from these scriptures. What kind of mark it will be is not stated. It may be the emblem of his kingdom and that is not known. It will be a literal brand upon the right hand or forehead (Rev. 13:16; 14:9).

2. The name of the beast (Rev. 13:17; 14:11). It is not stated here or elsewhere what his name will be, and all speculation in unscriptural and valueless. People have chosen no less than 35 names for the Antichrist. They have made him a reincarnation or a resurrection of man from Nimrod in Gen. 10:1-32 on, including a number of conquerors of kingdoms and Judas Iscariot. Modern names hailed as the Antichrist have included popes, Mussolini, Hitler, Stalin, and others. Many have been chosen because their names in Greek would equal 666. On this basis others could be chosen. All this is pure human speculation without scriptural backing.

3. The the number of his name, 666 (Rev. 13:17-18; 15:2). This is the number of a man, and is the only one of the 3 brands that is given (Rev. 13:18). Many Greek and Hebrew names have a numerical value of 666. The idea is that in the Greek and Hebrew alphabets there is not a separate system of numbers, as in the English. The letters of these alphabets stand for numbers. The letters in the name of the future Antichrist will have a numerical value of 666. We cannot know what his mark or name will be, but we can all know what the numerical value of his name will be, for it is stated to be 666. Since he will not come until after the rapture of the church and until after the formation of 10 kingdoms inside the old Roman Empire (Dan. 7:24; 2Th. 2:7), and until the beginning of Daniel’s 70th week (Dan. 9:27), we can also know that no man will be able to take his mark, his name, or the number of his name before the last 3 1/2 years of this age (Rev. 11:1-3; 12:6, 12:14; 13:5).

buy or sell... Antichrist’s mark will allow people to engage in daily commerce, including the purchase of food and other necessities. Without the identifying mark, individuals will be cut off from the necessities of life in that kingdom.

the number of... The beast (Antichrist), will have a name inherent in a numbering system. It is not clear from the text exactly what this name and number system will be or what its significance will be.
Without a mark, a person will be unable to engage in routine commerce. Notice here, it does not say you cannot live. It says you cannot buy or sell. THEY SHOULD NOT TAKE THIS MARK; Jesus will help those in that period of the last 3 and 1/2 years of the tribulation.
Anyone who accepts this mark during the Tribulation has already made his choice, and that choice will permanently disqualify its wearer from heaven. Remember, when you get the mark they MUST swear allegiance to the Antichrist as god.
It isn't merely economic, it is a worship system. Accepting the mark is tantamount to a rejection of Jesus. This is a permanent, irreversible rejection.
Many currently worry that they will accept the mark accidentally, such as the case with national ID cards. This is not so. To accept the mark of the beast, one will knowingly agree to renounce God and to accept this mark. Without the mark, no one will be able to buy or sell and will fear they and/or their family will die. But to accept the mark means eternal death.
Rev. 14:10 "If anyone worships the beast and his image, and receives a mark on his forehead or upon his hand, he also will drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is mixed in full strength in the cup of His anger; and he will be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the lamb".

The mark of the beast (Rev. 13:16-18)

Enforcing his control over the human race and encouraging worship of the beast out of the sea, the second beast required everyone… to receive a mark on his right hand or on his forehead, and without this evidence that he had worshiped the beast no one could buy or sell. The need to buy or sell such necessities as food and clothing would force each person in the entire kingdom to decide whether to worship the beast or to bear the penalty. Apparently the great majority worshiped the beast.
