Littleflock, I will show you the truth of the Word about this subject, if you are willing to study with me and take it slowly. This will take a lot of doing to completely open this matter up.
It is not going to come clear by saying just a few sentences. If you desire truth, if any of you desire truth, then let's study this subject.
We need to do this study.
We should have done it a long time ago.
Almost everyone is mixed up on this subject and imagining all kinds of foolish stuff and yet falling right into the trap of this mark, because you have been deceived into thinking it is some foolish silly carnal junk.
Now let me show you something from Revelation:
And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy. |
And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads. |
And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born. |
Now notice the discription of the kingdom of Satan in heaven: it had seven heads and ten horns. It was red = color of sin. [also Adam means to be made red]
Notice, the very same discription of the beast which rose up out of the sea. It was the very same kingdom of Satan. See, it has exactly the same discription. It is the same thing.
Satan's kingdom came up on earth through mankind.
It is that law system. The ten commandments are those ten horns. It is the power of that law.
Law is the kingdom of Satan. Now I know you will not see this, but it is the truth. There were only two 'trees' in the Garden of God = the Tree of life =Grace
and the tree of knowledge of good and evil = law.
By the law came sin and death.
Only by GRACE can we be saved........so law is the enemy..or kingdom of Satan........God never placed anyone under law. God hates the law system.
[God's commandments are not the same thing]
But see that the kingdom Satan has the very same discription as the beast out of the sea. So they are the same thing. Satan set up his kingdom on earth in mankind. It was evidenced in the nation Of Israel.....now that law nation set up the church system we see on earth today......they are blind, naked, [see that naked woman there?]........wretched, poor and headed to hell fire.
They charge for everything they do.....you must pay, and pay and pay. It is money. It is the mark of this beast.
Jesus said FREELY YOU HAVE RECEIVED, FREELY GIVE.
She, [that naked woman; church] says: 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. |
Now read verse 17 carefully! It said no man might [be able to] buy or sell, save he that had the mark. Now that word, SAVE means except or unless.
No man can buy or sell unless, except, they have this MARK. They cannot buy and sell the things of God unless they are marked with this love for money. It has been the mark of Satan, Adam from the very beginning. That is why he took it into merchandizing, which Jesus forbids.
Make not my Father's house a house of merchandize.
A true child of God CANNOT take pay for what he does for God. My Spirit has never let me take pay for anything I do. The things of God are FREE.
When Peter healed the crippled man, he said "such as I have, GIVE I unto thee'.
Where are any minister today with this attitude?
