How do you receive this mark in your forehead and hands? Through lack of knowledge and deception. II Thes 2:3-4 and Rev 12:7-9 tell us that Satan will be cast out of heaven to earth and will come claiming to be God and will deceive the people into worshipping him. Many are not aware that Satan comes first before Jesus and will show great signs and wonders to deceive them. They will think he is God and receive his mark of deception in their forehead (brain) because they think he is God and will worship him. They will also work for his fake ministry to bring in converts thus receiving the mark in their hands which is symbolic of working for his ministry. Mark 13:9-11 tells us that God's elect will be delivered up before Satan to testify against him and expose his lies with the Holy Spirit speaking through them. When people hear the truth of this testimony, many will be ashamed that they were deceived.

Did you notice on revelation all of the sevens ? Even in the Bible Gods things are often marked with seven


In the book of revelation it reveals a false church clamor ng ti be the chrich of the lamb , but the words the doctrine it speaks is the word of the dragon

it appears as a lamb but it speaks like a dragon , it’s through this ministry that they are marked and forced to serve the beast and bear his mark

abut tbey think they are on the chrich of the lamb hearing his doctrine it’s really satans this false chrich wouod even show fraudulent wonders and works to deceive people

“And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. And 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. And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, and 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. And 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: 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.”
‭‭Revelation‬ ‭13:11-14, 16-17‬ ‭KJV‬‬

notice before this God marks his people on their foreheads and then a false chrich claiming to be of God but the doctrine is of Satan the words they are preaching

It’s a deception a false messiah and his church false teachers and doctrine

“ the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. “

deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do”

“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.”

notice it’s a false messiah Jesus truly does and rose the beast is fraudulently offering himself as the one who died and rose up again it’s a false chrirtianity or false chrich based on the words of the dragons beast who appears as a lamb


False doctrine is causing them to be deceived and marked as the devils people rether than hearing the truth and being sealed as gods children

“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: 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.”

revelation shows the true church and a fake one

Hebrews 3:4
For every house is builded by some man; but he that built all things is God.
God is the true Church. originally known to us in the Bible Greek translation as the Ecclesia, (the Called out ones) which has gotten mistranslated as Church, which in Greek means building
1 Peter 2:5
ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God

We the people individually are indwell by God Father of Risen Son, once on e believes God. God comes in and we are raptured, then and there, whether still here on earth or not


Authorized (King James) Version
1 Cor. 3:9-11
9 For we are labourers together with God: ye are God’s husbandry, ye areGod’s building.
10 According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon. 11 For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.
Read full chapter

The point is: God won by Son once for everyone, not to have to do anything to be saved, Burt believe God in Son as risen for you to be rthart too, right now by God for you through Son to you. Wait a sec, I believe God, I am as good as raptured presently in thanksgiving and praise to God, woe

Authorized (King James) Version



6 In the year that king Uzziah died I saw also the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple. 2 Above it stood the seraphims: each one had six wings; with twain he covered his face, and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he did fly.
3 And one cried unto another, and said,
Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord of hosts:
the whole earth is full of his glory.
4 And the posts of the door moved at the voice of him that cried, and the house was filled with smoke.
5 Then said I, Woe is me! for I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for mine eyes have seen the King, the Lord of hosts. 6 Then flew one of the seraphims unto me, having a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with the tongs from off the altar: 7 and he laid it upon my mouth, and said, Lo, this hath touched thy lips; and thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin purged.

This, be what Son Jesus has done in being raised from the dead for us the people to believe, he did take away sin as said in John 1:29, that John said would happen.


Authorized (King James) Version
30 When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.

Then got risen from the dead for new life for anyone that turns to God Father in belief, receives and is made new from the first day anyone believes God


Ephesians 1:13

Authorized (King James) Version

13 in whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,

Amazing grace given free of charge from God to us, to either believe and be set free or not be set free, up to each person individually, not a Church building Thanks

I dont think so. No born again believer will get the mark of the beast!
✝ Revelation 13:8

"And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world."

Bible
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=kjv.BIBLE

If someones name is not written in the bbok of life! Is as child of God your name written in the book of Life? I would say yes!
As children of God we must have no fear to worship Satan. Also I believe that before this will come we are already with the Lord.

I agree with Omegatime on this point.



II Thes 2:3-4 and Rev 12:7-9 tell us that Satan will be cast out of heaven to earth and will come claiming to be God and will deceive the people into worshipping him.
While it is true that Satan and his angels will be cast down (to the earth) when there are 1260 days remaining till Christ's Second Coming to the earth (Rev19), it is not true that "Satan" IS "the Antichrist / man of sin" (who I believe will be a "human").



Paul in 2Th2 (the entire passage) distinguishes the THREE points in time [i.e. a chronology, of sorts] which pertain to "the man of sin" (and each of these correspond with other related passages elsewhere, proving this "chronology / sequence"):

--[BEGINNING of Trib/7-yrs] "whose COMING / ARRIVAL / ADVENT / PRESENCE / PAROUSIA" of the man of sin (2Th2:9a[-10a],8a,6b[,3c,4a]);


--[MIDDLE of Trib/7-yrs] "[who...] ... SITTETH in the temple of God shewing himself that he is god" (2Th2:4b); and


--[END of Trib/7-yrs] "whom the Lord SHALL CONSUME... SHALL DESTROY with the MANIFESTATION of the presence/parousia of Him/Jesus" (2Th2:8b)






IOW, Paul is covering the ENTIRE "7-year period" in this whole passage, and by viewing other RELATED PASSAGES ELSEWHERE (which I didn't place in this post) we can see where each of these "plug in" to the whole, time-wise.

He is not just covering 3.5 yrs, for example (in this passage), as many suppose that he is.




And, yeah... "Satan" is NOT "the man of sin" [/the Antichrist] who is a "human". (Rev20:10 DISTINGUISHES them.)


Besides, the text in2Th2 never states that [something like] when he comes is when he will sit in the temple claiming to be god/God. That is an assumption, which I believe is FALSE based on the other related passages showing us the "sequence of events" so to speak (regarding him/this person), and their "timing" issues.

Notice the following passage, in which Jesus tells his followers that Satan fell from heaven already:

Luk 10:17 The seventy-two returned with joy, saying, “Lord, even the demons are subject to us in your name!”
Luk 10:18 And he said to them, “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven.
Luk 10:19 Behold, I have given you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall hurt you.
Luk 10:20 Nevertheless, do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.”

Isaiah 14:12-16 KJV
12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!
13 For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:
14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.
15 Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.
16 They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee, and consider thee, saying, Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms;
