I think when Biden met with the pope they arranged the mass pardon of the death row inmates to coincide with this jubilee
the pope declared. A catholic work.
I think Biden probably got an indulgence (a universal pardon from God) in exchange.
SAVED FOR REPOSTING
The word in Revelation 13:16 for “mark” is the Greek word for a mark of ownership.
Such as a tattoo - perhaps similar to how one marks cattle by branding.
Or how Hitler’s Nazis branded Jews with tattoo numbers for identification purposes.

HELPS Word-studies
5480 xáragma – properly, an engraving (etching); (figuratively) a mark providing undeniable identification, like a symbol giving irrefutable connection between parties.
5480 /xáragma (”brand-mark”) was originally any impress on a coin or a seal, used by an engraver on a die (stamp, branding iron). 5480 (xáragma) later became “the identification-marker” (like with an owner’s unique “brand-mark”).
There are strange things happening in our world - all these Democrats in America, too
The KJV uses “in”
Many other translations use “on”
It’s “epi”
Example: Your outer layer of skin is your (epi)dermis - epidermis
The “Mark” is the Greek word “charagma” - a stamp of ownership; a tattoo
Revelation 13:16
New King James Version
16 He causes all, both small and great,
rich and poor, free and slave,
to receive a mark ON their right hand or ON their foreheads,
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation+13%3A16&version=NKJV
KJV uses “IN” - with “epi” I believe that “ON” is more accurate and indeed, as far as I can tell, most translations use “ON”
Revelation 13:16
King James Version
16 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:

Strange days indeed.
I know several people shocked by how the rapid pace of the changes for the worse. Truth is this was all bubbling beneath the surface all along, but it is just now showing itself.
Civilization truly is a thin veneer.
◄ Exodus 21:6 ►
Then his master shall bring him unto the judges; he shall also bring him to the door, or unto the door post; and his master shall bore his ear through with an aul; and he shall serve him for ever.
that was how it was done is Israel. Which is how the phrase
“The Lord GOD has opened my ear” should be interpreted in:
The Lord GOD has opened my ear, and I was not rebellious; I turned not backward.
Isaiah 50:5
It means the messiah was made a servant.
[I know several people shocked by how the rapid pace of the changes for the worse.]
I am a captive for Christ. I’m not allowed to do much (ouch) but I CAN help keep getting the Word of God out to the World in these Last Days. I pray that others are re-texting, copying, emailing, printing off copies, saving to disk, etc.
The rapid changes of 2024 (quick list):
Iran and Israel going at it (the magnitude surprised even ME even after 10/7/23)
Iran’s leader - dead
Syria - fallen to rebel groups
B. Assad - OUT
Houthis - SEVERAL major attacks on Israel
Hamas - severely-wrecked
Hezbollah - severely-wrecked
Israel bombing major sites in Syria
Somebody keep adding to the list please....
It’s about all we can do. Keep giving the message even when you know it won’t be heeded.


Isaiah 55:10-11
21st Century King James Version
10 For as the rain cometh down and the snow from Heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the Earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower and bread to the eater,
11 so shall My Word be that goeth forth out of My mouth: It shall not return unto Me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.

Well at some point that’s going to fail because in the end times the Gospel is given to Angels.
Then I saw another angel flying in midair, and he had the eternal gospel to proclaim to those who live on the earth—to every nation, tribe, language and people.
Revelation 14:6
I think it will accomplish the purpose but through His Tribulation Saints and DEFINITELY by His Angels!
But yes, it is an Angel from Revelation 14 that indeed preaches the Gospel to the WHOLE EARTH - plus the warnings from the other two Angels
Revelation 14:6-13
English Standard Version
The Messages of the Three Angels
6 Then I saw another angel flying directly overhead, with an eternal gospel to proclaim to those who dwell on earth, to every nation and tribe and language and people. 7 And he said with a loud voice, “Fear God and give him glory, because the hour of his judgment has come, and worship him who made heaven and earth, the sea and the springs of water.”
8 Another angel, a second, followed, saying, “Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great, she who made all nations drink the wine of the passion[a] of her sexual immorality.”
9 And another angel, a third, followed them, saying with a loud voice, “If anyone worships the beast and its image and receives a mark on his forehead or on his hand, 10 he also will drink the wine of God’s wrath, poured full strength into the cup of his anger, and he will be tormented with fire and sulfur in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb. 11 And the smoke of their torment goes up forever and ever, and they have no rest, day or night, these worshipers of the beast and its image, and whoever receives the mark of its name.”
12 Here is a call for the endurance of the saints, those who keep the commandments of God and their faith in Jesus.[b]
13 And I heard a voice from heaven saying, “Write this: Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on.” “Blessed indeed,” says the Spirit, “that they may rest from their labors, for their deeds follow them!”

Remember this exchange?:
26So if they tell you, ‘There He is in the wilderness,’ do not go out; or, ‘Here He is in the inner rooms,’ do not believe it. 27For just as the lightning comes from the east and flashes as far as the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. 28Wherever there is a carcass, there the vultures will gather.
29Immediately after the tribulation of those days:
‘The sun will be darkened,
and the moon will not give its light;
the stars will fall from the sky,
and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.b’
30At that time the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven,c and all the tribes of the earth will mourn. They will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven, with power and great glory.d 31And He will send out His angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather His elect from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other.
Matthew 24
well the vultures are already here
