can i go through Revelation and cross 'six' out every time i see it, and replace it with 'man' ?
I would offer. The foundation of the doctrine is found in the first book not the last.
In order to understand the signified tongue of God in Revelation everything else must be in place so that we can do the required work and compare the spiritual understanding to the same (faith to faith.
Six is the number that God has assigned to represent natural unconverted mankind .No seal of God's word
Yes you can replace 6 with with mankind. Its the number of that beast of the field. Other beast where made them male and female . the mark pertains to mankind And not other beasts of the the lifeless spiritless field of clay
The mark is the mark of his word or letter of the law . Mankind #6 are the only creature subject to the law of or mark of God word . . . law
It is not a sign as a wonder that someone would have to prepare themselves. The last sign as a wonder was that of Jonas fulfilled by Jesus. Jesus said its a evil generation #6 that does search after one
Its not something a person could to hide with clothing or a pair of gloves so they could eat or buy something. The buying and selling as to do with spiritual matters like the gospel .We are to buy it and not sell it..
Sounds like Hollywood drama stuff.
Genesis 4:15 And the Lord said unto him, Therefore whosoever slayeth Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold. And the Lord set a mark upon Cain, lest any finding him should kill him.
You could say the mark is the goal of the promise of God. You shall surely die!
Cain You shall surely surfer the wage of sin with no support from God or his people.(no assisted suicided) Mark his word
And Cain said unto the Lord, My punishment is greater than I can bear. Behold, thou hast driven me out this day from the face of the earth; and from thy face shall I be hid; and I shall be a fugitive and a vagabond in the earth; and it shall come to pass, that every one that findeth me shall slay me. Genesis 4: 13-14
He did not like as if he had input into the matter God choice of sufferings the pangs of the increased load, his entire life with no sabbath rest like His brother received from the gospel .
