    The mark could be an embedded chip or palm scan. "The number of his name" only numbers tied to the currency of the beast so that all transactions are recorded and evaluated for taxation.
  • Alan on Revelation 13 - 11 years ago
    Re: Chimwamo. The author of the Rapture disagrees with you. Emmanuel Lacunza makes it quite plain that only Roman Catholics are to be raptured. As he is the author of the rapture who has the write to change what he state? Apparently pre-Millennialism does. People need to be well versed in Roman history in order to see these two beasts for what they are.
  • Alan on Revelation 13:12 - 11 years ago
    Totally correct. The second beast is papal Rome, and a good explanation. History records how pagan Rome gave birth to papal Rome, and that more advanced under Constantine, eventually to assume the reins of authority over the then known world of the Roman empire. There is a consistancy in that the first beast was then still standing, the second beast also, and what we find in papal Rome we also find exactly in pagan Rome, even to the terms of reference. Roman Empire, Rome Universal. Roman Catholic, Rome Universal. It is very fitting that in present day Rome pagan Roman statutes and figurines have been renamed to bear religious names. The twelve apostles, within the Vatican museum the strangest as they wear Roman togas. When asking the curate why Jews were wearing Roman dress, he refused to answer.
  • Kevin Butler on Revelation 13:16 - 11 years ago
    I think we should all start taking Revelation seriously, and do some heavy duty repenting. Before it is to late!
  • Carol graham on Revelation 13:3 - 11 years ago
    I think that the beast will be shot in the head and mortally wounded and then come back to life after 3 days.
  • Chimwamo on Revelation 13:7 - 11 years ago
    This is the event following the 100% rapture of the church as no saint left behind would ever prevail over the antichrist in his time of full manifestation. Not even Israel will get saved after the rapture.
  • Gram on Revelation 13:4 - 11 years ago
    bill the internet doesnt make times and laws , internet is definitely evil in its own right but it doesnt qualify as the beast power , also even though internet is used for evil like porn and propaganda, its also used for good like searching the bible, also internet is a inanimate object and it doesnt distort the true worship of god just confuses it
  • John Hazelwood on Revelation 13:13 - 11 years ago
    I can only think, that in this day and age( 2013), that fire from the sky could mean secret technology made public in a form, like UFO's. Remember the shadow government of America has had technology of this kind since the 50's. Sixty or so years of secret refining.
  • Sarai on Revelation 13:17 - 11 years ago
    This is already happening. Ask any Christian, Hindu, Jew or other who lives in a majority Muslim land. They are forced to conversion, stolen from their families, unable to worship in their own beliefs, their businesses are burned out or they have to pay bribes - all under pain of death to them and their families. The mark of the beast is the (symbolic) spot on Muslims forehead from touching the ground in prayer. Muslim worship is the beast. Allah who commands death to nonmuslims and all sorts of other cruelties is the antiChrist. Here is your fight of good vs evil.
  • Withus on Revelation 13:18 - 11 years ago
    The name is from vatican, the title of the pope!
  • Concern Sister on Revelation 13 - 11 years ago
    This text reminds me of an experience I had back in 2010; early one morning as I lay in bed I heard these words, " Deception Wears A Façade!" which also reminds us of what Jesus told His disciples in ( Matthew24) would be one of the major signs of the end of the age. So be sober & vigilant for our adversary the devil is on the loose. WATCH & PRAY Amen?
  • Blackjohnny on Revelation 13:3 - 11 years ago
    Comatose for seven years, Israel's iconic former Prime Minister Ariel Sharon is showing signs of "significant brain activity."

    The 84-year-old suffered a devastating stroke January 4, 2006, and a brain hemorrhage. He was presumed to be in a vegetative state. But on Monday Jan 28, 2013, a team of surprised neuroscientists and doctors said Sharon's brain appeared to respond when they showed him pictures of his family and had him listen to his son's voice. Doctors also used tactile stimuli to measure Sharon's brain reaction.

    Does this mean the man Israelis once dubbed the "Lion of God" could wake? Doctors have urged caution and are extremely skeptical.

    Rabbi Yitzhak Kaduri revealed the name of the Messiah before he died! He was a renowned Mizrahi Haredi a teacher and highly respected master devoted to the Jewish faith devoting his entire life to the study of the Torah. A man who lived beyound 108 years, Kaduri revealed the name of Jesus as the Messiah in a note 1 year after his death. The Orthodox Rabbi also mentions the second coming of Jesus will occur shortly after Sharon's death. Sharon has yet to suc***b to his deadly stroke that has left him comatosed for over 7 years. The question begs itself, is Sharon the one whose head wound will be healed and everyone in the world will be amazed and follow him? If Rabbi Kaduri is correct in his revelation the Lord Jesus will appear to Israel shortly after Sharon's death. You can Youtube a short bio on Kaduri and perhaps ascertain the information on your own. We all have epiphanies and come across information unwillingly. My connection happened today, I was not searching for anything in particular, the Lord came to me like a thief, unexpectedly, and I typed in the verse of revelation and came to this page and site that I have never visited, and I thought why not share and reveal the information. God Bless.

    Melissa- your answer will come when he brokers the peace treaty in the middle east - Then betrays it.
  • Thomas on Revelation 13:11 - 11 years ago
    the two horns show the power of the lamb like beast.one is the spiritual and the other is the political.this lamb is none other than the papacy which in appearance seems to be christ like and in truth full of abominations.
  • Rockygiammichele on Revelation 13:17 - 11 years ago
    Without Christ you can do nothing. Without Christ and baptism one can not enter into the Priesthood of Christ, without the holy sacrifice of Christ one cannot partake of the body and blood of Christ for Christ is Lord of ETERNAL LIFE, THE HOLY SPIRIT, the HOLY SPIRIT IS ETERNAL LIFE amen,amen. GRACE and PEACE to the people of God, amen I say unto YOU, amen.
  • GOD'S WOMAN on Revelation 13 - 11 years ago
    Well Revelation is very deep and it uses many metaphoric descriptions As Well As Actual Descriptions. But I do know that IF You have repented to God and has Received Christ not only as your Savior But also Your LORD and you have Received the Holy Ghost since you claimed Salvation as Jesus said to the Priest in John 3:3, You Must Br Born Again! Of HIS SPIRIT AND NOT ONLY WATER BAPTISM. THEN YOU/I DONT NEED TO FEAR WHERE WILL SPEND ALL ETERNITY AFTER JUDGEMENT DAY. RIGHT? SELAH. Unless your righteousness exceeds that of the Pharisees; God Says You Will Not Enter Heaven. Being accepted by Church but Not entering Heaven is Scarey to think about but IS IT WORTh RUNNiNG THE RIsK OF HELL???
  • Elder Charles on Revelation 13:17 - 11 years ago
    Have we all taken the mark? when you purchase Items with your Debit card or charge card. It has a chip in it. When you scan it, the chip is in the palm of your hand. Just a thought
  • Melissa on Revelation 13:18 - 11 years ago
    Does anyone think Obama is the 666? Just Asking?
  • Wendell D. O'Neal on Revelation 13 - 11 years ago
    No longer be deceived, the forehead represents the area where thoughts are administered, the right hand represents actions executed. In sum, the beast administrates actions by controlling thought processes. 2 Thess. 2-11. Temple of God....
  • Michael on Revelation 13:16 - 12 years ago
    I believe the end days are coming.and when the time comes I will have already ben saved hopefully.
  • Ps. Emmanuel on Revelation 13:3 - 12 years ago
    Whatever battle we are fighting for Christ, we have to fight it to the end, whatever race we are running for Christ, until we have come to the finishing point we can't give up. Paul in the book of Gala 4:19 said, my children, I am suffering birth pains for you again until Christ is formed in you.
    Until Christ was formed in the hearts of the Galatians He was not going to be free from BIRTH PAINS. I believe we all know what BIRTH PAINS ARE?
    The head of the beast was brutally wounded meaning it was engage in fiercest BATTLE ( Rev. 3:14) but it was not killed.
    You see David after killing Goliath rushed unto the dead huge giant and cut of the Head. We have to finish the fight we are fighting for Christ on earth and finish the race we are running for our Lord here. After the beast was healed, we saw what it did. ( Rev. 3:11-18)
    My point is whatever we are doing for Christ, if it has to be DONE, has to be DONEWELL. We have to the take it to the FINISHING POINT. We can’t live it half finished. Other than that it will come back strong to hunt us. BE BLESSED.
    Ps. Emma
  • Solomon Onalethata on Revelation 13 - 12 years ago
    REVELATIONS 13 16
    The book of revelations is all about prophecies that John saw through the spirit of which some of them are been fullfilled at this present world..All this prophecies are to take place before and during the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ..So if any man have an ear let him hear the word of God and repent while it is still day.
  • DAVID on Revelation 13:18 - 12 years ago
    I BELIEVE, HAVE FAITH, AND KNOW THAT I HAVE UNDERSTANDING. BUT DO I KNOW ALL THINGS THAT GOD SAY? NO. BUT I STILL SEEK TO KNOW! MY LORD AND MY GOD CHRISTJESUS MADE SURE I KNEW WHAT REOENT MEAN, IT MEANS TO TURN AWAY, TURN AWAY FROM EVERY WEIGHT THAT IS HOLDING ME BACK FROM DOING THE WILL OF GOD, AND RECEIVNG HIS GRACE!!! JESUSCHRIST TOLD ME THAT THERE ARE MANY ANTI-CHRIST IN THE WORLD, THEY OF WHOM WE WOULD HAVE NOT EVER THOUGHT, EVEN OUR OWN FAMILY THE MOST, AND THEY THAT ARE CLOSE TO OUR HEARTS.
    AND SAIS IN EPHESIANS 6:12, WE WRESTLE OR FIGHT NOT WITH FLESH AND BLOOD(NOW I UNDERSTAND WHY MY UNCLE ALWAYS TRIED TO FIGHT ME, AND WHY OLDER MEN ARE ALWAYS JEALOUS OF YOUNG MEN!!).
    IT IS NOT THAT MAN IS JEALOUS OF YOUNG, BUT THAT GOD CREATED MAN TO DO HIS WILL, AND AFTER HIS LIKENESS, AND THAT YOU HAVE THE DEVIL ROAMING TO AND FRO, LIKE A ROARING LION SEEKING WHOM HE MAY DEVOUR, DESTROY!
    GOD STILL SPEAKS TO US, AND SAID IN REVELATION 16:14, THAT, THEY ARE SPIRITS OF DEVILS/DEMONS, WORKING MIRACLES/OR PERFORMING SIGNS, WHICH GO FORTH UNTO THE KINGS OF THE EARTH AND TO THE WHOLE WORLD, TO GATHER THEM TO BATTLE AGAINST THE GREAT DAY OF GOD ALMIGHTY... UNDERSTAND YOU NOT THAT THE WORD OF GOD IS TRUTH, QUICK, AND POWERFUL AND SHARPER THAN ANY TWO EDGED SWORD, SERIOUSLY AS GOD TOLD US IN HEBREWS 4:12..
    AND IS A DICTIONARY, AND A CONCORDANCE, AND A HISTORY BOOK! THIS IS CONFIRMATION THAT THE WORD OF GOD, IS REALLY THE WORD OF GOD AND NOT OF ANY MAN( 2 PETER 1:21).
  • Jim Stubits on Revelation 13:18 - 12 years ago
    I have made a board game called six hundred threescore and six to unfold the mystery of this number. Interesting.
  • Anon on Revelation 13:18 - 12 years ago
    The number of a man is obtained by using the process of gemmatria to find the numbers of his name, date and day of birth. In the case of the beast the name is that of a country; in its own language and using its own alphabet its number is six. The date indicated is that of the beginning of its war of world conquest, which also adds up to six and falls on Saturday. The official name of Germany was ‘Deutsches Reich’ from 1871-1945. World War I began on Saturday, August 1, 1914. The number of this name, date and day is six hundred and sixty-six.
  • Tom Whale on Revelation 13:16 - 12 years ago
    Nowhere in the Bible does it tell you that the mark on the forehead coverts you to the Roman Catholic Church. You are saved through Christ, not in accepting the catholic faith. Follow scriptures not the books written by the Catholic Church.
  • Daniel on Revelation 13 - 12 years ago
    There is no rapture, sorry you can’t find it in the bible. The antichrist is first and principal. Please look up Pastor Arnold Maury at shepherd’s chapel he will give u the real knowledge about the bible, he has been preaching for over 50 years, and he comes on television. Please people give him a chance.
  • Insight 777 on Revelation 13 - 12 years ago
    It takes no wisdom to say the number is 666. The number God gave us is "six hundred threescore and six". The word "beast" is used as a "king" in some verses of the Bible.
    1. The number of the Beast is the "number of HIS NAME";
    2. The number is the "number of a MAN". God said count the NUMBER...The number is "six hundred threescore and six" If you count the letters of that number it is 26. Now look for a man who has the power to rule with 26 letters in his name. This will be a man that wants to destroy Christianity. I believe this will be a non Christian religious leader. This leader will rise to power over the entire world. This can only happen as a result of a world war. The WW3 peace treaty will give the power of Wahhabi law control over all governments.
  • Joshua on Revelation 13:17 - 12 years ago
    This scripture does not pertain to the rapture read. The whole chapter to understand its meaning not just has few words. And yes the mark, name, and number will all pertain/describe the same one.
  • Thomas montgomery on Revelation 13:10 - 12 years ago
    I submitted a post earlier and I may need to correct some information, the year for a day time prophecy is found in Ezekiel 4:6 and numbers 14:34, I’m not sure if I stated the verses correctly previously. Thank you.
