Lying and mocking is a sign of a disturbing spirit in you. As you have been told already, when the mark is commanded to you -should you actually live through the chaos that is coming when more than 30,000,000 CHRISTians are suddenly no long on this earth- don't accept the mark even if your Catholic Mary insists you do it.
You keep running these posts trying to get a dust up. Your agenda is transparent at this point.
Hello Religion Moderator - note the accusative statement here - against the rules of the forum
Perhaps you haven't read Daniel? 7:13 In my vision at night I looked, and there before me was one like a son of man,[a] coming with the clouds of heaven.
Now John 14 - I suggest reading the bible, bro, that would help
John 14 starts off with Jesus saying
Jesus Comforts His Disciples
Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God[a]; believe also in me. 2 My Fathers house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. 4 You know the way to the place where I am going.
He's talking to his disciples about the upcoming tribulation that THEY will experience at the hands of the Pharisees and the Romaoi.
Perhaps the watchtower mag you may have glanced at talks of clouds and fluffy bunnies, but... hint... it ain't in there
You note that the above texts are from Jesus' own words, not mine, bro
Would you accuse Him of lying???
John was specific - wisdom is needed here. I'd suggest to pray for it
[The beast] forced all the people, small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to be given a stamped image on their right hands or their foreheads, so that no one could buy or sell except one who had the stamped image of the beasts name or the number that stood for its name.
Wisdom is needed here; one who understands can calculate the number of the beast, for it is a number that stands for a person. His number is six hundred and sixty-six (Rev. 13:16-18).
The Book of Revelation makes great use of symbolic imagery and theological themes.It used the events contemporaneous to its composition to deliver a message about the ultimate triumph of Christ.
The beast symbolizes the various Roman emperors who persecuted the early Christians but mainly is a symbol of Caesar Nero (whose name in Hebrew has the numerical value of 666).
The so-called mark of the beast is presumed by most scholars to allude to the coins of the Roman Empire that bore the image of the emperor.
I would strongly suggest following Christ and His words rather than an 19th century made up story or the various Watchtower and other fake prophets/pastors.
Btw, the numbers seem to have inflated - did the Watchtower say not 144K but 30 million?
what will it be next?
