There are few prophetic events that stir the imagination more than the mark of the beast. For millennia, Bible scholars have attempted to decipher this cryptic code, but not until the end of the age did we have the geo-political world line up so precisely as to offer a plausible explanation that links global religious fanaticism with the ability (or inability) to buy and sell without a mark in the right hand or forehead.
Tonight, on Shabbat Night Live, Michael Rood will take you into the first half of the mark of the beast expose in preparation for understanding its relationship in the upcoming demise of the new world order.

And what is the person that makes that false accusation?
1Pet.1So much for your easy believeism. Peter sees it just like Yeshua did, enduring to the end
[1] Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the strangers scattered throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia,
[2] Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied.
[3] Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
[4] To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you,
[5] Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
[6] Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations:
[7] That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:
[8] Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory:
[9] Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls.
>> “ I think we in the west must first survive the destruction of mystery Babylon” <<
.
Not according to the Revelation, the destruction of Babylon comes in the bowl judgments, after the first resurrection, beginning at the 7th trump.
That is Yehova’s ten days of awe, between Yom Teruah and Yom Kippur. This is the 1260 days after the abomination at Purim.
Well, lets take your highlighted excerpts and see what it really says.
1 Peter 1: [5] Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
Its not really difficult to understand that. We already know our salvation is secured but it will be revealed to us in the last time.
"Most assuredly, I say to you, he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death into life." (John 5:24)
Hebrews 10:10 By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. 11 And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins: 12 But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God; 13 From henceforth expecting till his enemies be made his footstool. 14 For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.
1 Corinthians 6:11 And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.
1 Peter 1:9 Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls.
Of course salvation is the end of our faith. We are assured of that.
We are comfortable that our salvation is assured because we have the witness of the Holy Spirit within us.
Romans 8:16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:
We even know that nothing will ever come between that.
Romans 8:38 For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, 39 nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
You should ask the Holy Spirit to come into your life and give you that assurance. Its wonderfull!
The great city is named in Revelation 11:
[8] And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified.
Unless there is another city where our Lord was crucified?
“He who hears my word and BELIEVES...”
That is not your intellectual belief, even Satan has your level of belief. Yeshua is asking for full belief in all he has said and asked of us. As Paul called out in Romans 2:
[1] Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things.
[2] But we are sure that the judgment of God is according to truth against them which commit such things.
[3] And thinkest thou this, O man, that judgest them which do such things, and doest the same, that thou shalt escape the judgment of God?
[4] Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance?
[5] But after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up unto thyself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God;
[6] Who will render to every man according to his deeds:
[7] To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life:
[8] But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath,
[9] Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile;
[10] But glory, honour, and peace, to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile:
[11] For there is no respect of persons with God.
[12] For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law: and as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law;
[13] (For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified.
[14] For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves:
[15] Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another;)
So have you beleived at that level, or do you call that Legalism, as Satan does?
> The great city is named in Revelation 11:
> [8] And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified.
> Unless there is another city where our Lord was crucified?
The hills [mountains] mentioned are in Chapter 17 (verse 9) and pertain to the whore that rides the beast.
Why should the city in chapter 11 (spiritual Sodom/Egypt) also be the whore mentioned in chapter 17?
Not the whore, the great city.
The great city is the one that is destroyed in one hour.
Gal. 2:21, I do not nullify the grace of God; for if righteousness comes through the Law, then Christ died needlessly.
Rom. 11:6, "But if it is by grace, it is no longer on the basis of works, otherwise grace is no longer grace."
Romans 2:13 For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified.
But those of us who have faith and the indwelling of the Holy Spirit have already been washed, sanctified, and justified.
1 Corinthians 6:11 And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.
We have the assurance of have been perfected for ever.
Hebrews 10:14 For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.
The Holy Spirit though Paul Rom. 3:28-30, "For we maintain that a man is justified by faith apart from works of the Law. 29 Or is God the God of Jews only? Is He not the God of Gentiles also? Yes, of Gentiles also, 30 since indeed God who will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through faith is one."
You should pray that one day the Holy Spirit will enlighten you to the truth. Its a blessed assurance.
Is that where your bible ends??? Why stop there...Why not read just one more chapter???
Rom 3:20 Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.
Rom 3:21 But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets;
God just did a flip-flop on you...Now what are you going to do???
You should pray!
You deny the words of our savior, and contort a little here and a little there in this verse and that verse rather than taking the full context of the chapter.
Your rationalized explanations fit with Matthew 7 results.
Verses do not stand alone!
I believe that without Jesus I am doomed, that He alone can save me; my only hope is to trust that he will be faithful to his own word concerning himself:
(From John 3)
And just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man be lifted up, that whoever believes in him may have eternal life.
For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not perish but may have eternal life.
Indeed, God did not send the Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Those who believe in him are not condemned; but those who do not believe are condemned already, because they have not believed in the name of the only Son of God.
Anyone concerned with feasts and fasts and the law would do well to remember what happened at Jerusalem in Acts 15:
The brothers, both the apostles and the elders, to the believers of Gentile origin in Antioch and Syria and Cilicia, greetings. Since we have heard that certain persons who have gone out from us, though with no instructions from us, have said things to disturb you and have unsettled your minds, we have decided unanimously to choose representatives and send them to you, along with our beloved Barnabas and Paul, who have risked their lives for the sake of our Lord Jesus Christ. We have therefore sent Judas and Silas, who themselves will tell you the same things by word of mouth. For it has seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us to impose on you no further burden than these essentials: that you abstain from what has been sacrificed to idols and from blood and from what is strangled and from fornication. If you keep yourselves from these, you will do well. Farewell.Peter, James, and Simeon all testified that God's Holy Spirit was working in and among the gentiles, and without the law. Indeed, even Jesus testified that this would happen:
(From John 4)1 — This is a reference to the religious requirements of the Mosaic Law to go to Jerusalem.
The woman said to him, Sir, I see that you are a prophet. Our ancestors worshiped on this mountain, but you [jews] say that the place where people must worship is in Jerusalem.
Jesus said to her, Woman, believe me, the hour is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem.1 You worship what you do not know; we worship what we know, for salvation is from the Jews. But the hour is coming, and is now here, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father seeks such as these to worship him.2 God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.
The woman said to him, I know that Messiah is coming (who is called Christ). When he comes, he will proclaim all things to us.
Jesus said to her, I am he, the one who is speaking to you.
No, God did a revelation to you that you seem to attempt to rationalize out of by picking isolated verses out of a different chapter, which always breeds just enough confusion to satisfy Satan’s needs.
> Not the whore, the great city.
>
> The great city is the one that is destroyed in one hour.
Ah, I see; I was talking about the whore, the beast, and those.
Gal. 2:21, I do not nullify the grace of God; for if righteousness comes through the Law, then Christ died needlessly.
Acts 13:39 and through Him everyone who believes is freed from all things, from which you could not be freed through the Law of Moses.
>> “Anyone concerned with feasts and fasts and the law would do well to remember what happened at Jerusalem in Acts 15:” <<
Then give all of Acts 15, including where he stated that the limited restrictions were only until they heard Moses preached in their synagogue “every sabbath day.” (Acts 15:21)
Truncating the message always delivers Satan’s message.
Nope; see John 3 & 4, Acts 15, and Hebrews 4.
The whole purpose of the law was to condemn, to show that man cannot overcome his own fallen nature on his own; it cannot save and cannot restore. — This is where Jesus, the messiah, comes in: he can save, he can restore, he can make the unrighteous righteous, the sinner sinless, and the captive free.
Where do you get that from that verse? Besides, I thought you just said we shouldnt just take one verse like that.
