Ever since I became a born-again believer in the Messiah of Yisra’el, named Yahuwshuwa (who many call Jesus), there has been much speculation from books, movies and theologians about what “The Mark of the Beast” actually is.
The Hebrew word for “sign” in the above verses is seen in the Strong’s Hebrew Concordance as follows:
As you can see, the word “owth” means “a mark.” Satan is a copy-cat, and he only knows how to imitate what he sees our Heavenly Father doing. However, his imitations are simply tricks that he uses, in order to deceive people into worshiping him. Thus, we can see that Satan has his own false pagan Sabbaths that he will “mark” his people with.
Strong’s #H226 – owth: sign, signal, a distinguishing mark, banner, remembrance; miraculous sign; omen; warning; token, ensign, standard, miracle, proof.
As you can see, the word “owth” means “a mark.” Satan is a copy-cat, and he only knows how to imitate what he sees our Heavenly Father doing. However, his imitations are simply tricks that he uses, in order to deceive people into worshiping him. Thus, we can see that Satan has his own false pagan Sabbaths that he will “mark” his people with.
But some people might argue that the “seal” or the “Mark of YaHuWaH” is the “Indwelling of the Holy Spirit,” and my answer to that is “I agree!”
However, the only “sign” or proof that we have the REAL Holy Spirit in us (and not a counterfeit), is that we keep his commandments!
Chazown (Revelation) 22:14 Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.
Those who DO NOT have the REAL Ruwach haQodesh (Holy Spirit), but instead, they have a counterfeit spirit, will ultimately keep the Sabbaths of the Papacy. Now, that is not to say that those that are temporarily misinformed about false pagan holidays (and they think Sunday is the Sabbath), are not going to be saved in the end. Those who truly belong to Yah will be shown the truth before it is too late.
We are now going to learn about how these very same pagan holidays from Ancient Babylon were recycled by the papacy and dressed up to appear “Christian.” When the Pope makes it mandatory to keep his “Sun-day” Law, Christ-Mass, Easter, Halloween, and all the other pagan Sabbaths from Babylon, people are going to be given a choice to either follow the “Sabbaths” of the Papacy or the ones that our Creator has commanded us to keep forever.
And then, the RFID chip will be inserted into those who agree to obey the Pope rather than YaHuWaH. The RFID chip is a tracking device, and only those who have that RFID chip will be allowed to buy food. But those of us who refuse to obey the Papacy will have to be beheaded for our faith.
In order to find out what the “Mark of the Beast” is, we must first find out what the ”Mark of YaHuWaH” is. Satan is a counterfeiter and he cannot come up with anything new. All he knows how to do is to pervert and distort the genuine things of YaHuWaH by inventing a close counterfeit.
One thing that I have learned over the years, is when studying biblical prophecy, YaHuWaH usually presents to us a “literal” or a physical application as well as the spiritual or “metaphor” application.
YaHuWaH has taught me that if we lean too much on just the spiritual application, and we never take scripture literally, that ultimately leads to Gnosticism which denies that our Messiah Yahuwshuwa is YaHuWaH
You see if Yahuwshuwa “is come in the flesh” (1st John 4:3) then he is the “Living Towrah” (the word) became “flesh.” He is the literal or physical word but he also resurrected into a spiritual body which supersedes the corruptible (mortal) body.
Therefore, his eternal “word” has the literal & physical application which applies to our temporal corruptible world, but then it also has the eternal & spiritual application as well which points to eternity.
Hence the “Mark of YaHuWaH” is a physical mark that he places on his elect, but it is also a spiritual mark that accompanies those who obey his commandments. Likewise, the “Mark of the Beast” is a literal and physical mark, but it is also a spiritual mark that accompanies those who worship the Beast and his image (Revelation 13:14-15).
Therefore, his eternal “word” has the literal & physical application which applies to our temporal corruptible world, but then it also has the eternal & spiritual application as well which points to eternity.
Hence the “Mark of YaHuWaH” is a physical mark that he places on his elect, but it is also a spiritual mark that accompanies those who obey his commandments. Likewise, the “Mark of the Beast” is a literal and physical mark, but it is also a spiritual mark that accompanies those who worship the Beast and his image (Revelation 13:14-15).
In Hebrew thought, there are four levels or “layers” of understanding scripture and all four of these layers apply to the prophecies about the Mark of the Beast as well as the Mark of YaHuWaH. These four layers, also correlate to four aspects our being (body, mind, spirit, soul). In Mark 12:30 our Messiah repeated the
Debariym (Deuteronomy) 6:5 “You shall love YHWH your Elohiym with all of your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength.”
Hence, we have been given four levels of understanding scripture for all four aspects of our being. These four levels have the acronym of PaRDeS:
Debariym (Deuteronomy) 6:5 “You shall love YHWH your Elohiym with all of your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength.”
Hence, we have been given four levels of understanding scripture for all four aspects of our being. These four levels have the acronym of PaRDeS:
1.) P’shat Level: The P’shat level is the plain sense of the text. What does it actually say? Every word, phrase, and thought has a meaning, there is no word that is redundant or idle. Even if it appears to be, it is not. It is filled with meaning for us to learn (physical or literal application).
2.) Drash Level: The Drash level is where truth and principle are presented. Truth can only be truth if it is confirmed. Confirmation as we know must come in the form of evidence and evidence must be at least two or three witnesses (intellectual, or rational application).
3.) Remez Level: The Remez level is the underlying theme or story that is told while speaking of other things. It is how prophecy is laid into the story of history. This level shows the plan for Yahuwshuwa’s redemption and restoration (emotional application or parables we can relate to).
4.) Sod Level: The Sod level is the mysterious and coded level. This involves the understanding of numbers along with the meaning associated with certain numerical values. For example, the number one represents “echad” or “oneness” “two” represents struggle, division or witness, etc. This level also involves the meanings of names (spiritual application or metaphor, allegory).
In the prophecies concerning the “Beast” system, these four applications are seen:
1.) The Beast’s Government – A corporate political system (intellectual, drash).
2.) The Beast’s Economy – A form of currency, the microchip implant (emotional, remez).
3.) The Beast’s Religion – A religion that deviates from scripture (spiritual, sod).
4.) The Man of Sin – A man who will counterfeit the Messiah (literal, physical, p’shat).
This beast system will counterfeit the true Messiah just before his second coming. Our Messiah Yahuwshuwa will have the “government upon his shoulders” and he will “rule and reign for a thousand years” (Isaiah 9:6-7, Revelation 20:4).
1.) Yahuwshuwa’s Government – (Isaiah 9:6-7, 22:21).
2.) Yahuwshuwa’s Economy – (Isaiah 55:1, Jeremiah 32:44).
3.) Yahuwshuwa’s Undefiled Religion – (Isaiah 2:3, Micah 4:2).
4.) Yahuwshuwa, the corporate man-child who will rule all nations – (Isaiah 9, Revelation 12).
In all three of these streams of influence we can see aspects of how the “mark” of the beast will have influence upon people:
1.) The Mark of the Beast has a political aspect: The Central Computer system (formerly in Luxembourg Germany) has the acronym “BEAST” which stands for: Belgian Electronic Accounting Surveillance Terminal.
It is located in Brussels Belgium. It is a huge computer system they call “The Beast.” Every ATM, Credit/Debit Card transaction that you make is recorded here. Every person on earth has been given an 18-digit Identification Number that begins with the prefix 666 + DOB + SS#.

Every bar-code symbol since the 1970's contains the numbers 666. This is how they can track every purchase that you make!
Below is the headquarters of “The European Union.”
This political beast is also going to be headed by a corporate man with “ten toes partly made of clay and partly made of iron” (Daniel 2:42-43). These ten toes represent “ten kings who rule one hour with the beast” (Revelation 17:12).
These are also the same as the “ten horns” (political powers) who have “seven heads” (seven mountains). This “corporate man” is a government headed by “the man of sin” the Anti-Messiah (2nd Thessalonians 2:3).
Pictured above is the European Union Building deliberately designed to resemble the Tower of Babel.
2.) The Mark of the Beast has an economic aspect: The RFID sub-dermal implant will replace currency, so that no man might “buy or sell” unless they have this microchip implant. It will only be available to those who “worship the beast” through his counterfeit religion which will also include his counterfeit “holy days” and the “Sunday Sabbath Law.” See this website for more information:
3.) The Mark of the Beast has a religious aspect: The counterfeit holy days and the “Sun-day Sabbath” will be enforced punishable by death. All of the pagan sun-god festivals will be instituted as the official days of the Anti-Messiah religion. Those who refuse to honor Satan’s counterfeit “holy days” and decide to honor the feast days of YaHuWaH will have to lose their lives for obedience to the commandments.
4.) The Beast has a physical image: The “Image of the beast” will be “The abomination of desolation sitting in the holy place” in the 3rd Jewish Temple once it is built (Revelation 13:14-15; 14:9-11, Matthew 24:15, 2nd Thessalonians 2:4).
The Image of the Beast versus the Image of YaHuWaH
What is the “Image of the beast?” In order to find out, we must find out what the “Image of YaHuWaH” is:
Ibriym (Hebrews) 1:3 Who being the brightness of his kabowd (glory), and the express image of his person , and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high:
Yahuwshuwa, Mashiyach (Messiah) is “The Son” who is “the express image” of the Father as seen in Hebrews 1:3. In the same way, Satan the master counterfeiter will have an “image” and it will be the son of Satan himself who masquerades as the true Messiah!
Those whose names are not written in the “Lamb’s Book of Life” (Revelation 13:8) will worship the image of the beast and they will receive his mark. These people will be tormented in fire and brimstone:
Chazown (Revelation) 14:
9 And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand,
10 The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of Elohiym, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:
11 And the smoke of their torment ascends up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receives the mark of his name.
But if you refuse to worship the beast and his image and you do not receive his mark, then you will live and reign with Messiah for a thousand years!
Chazown (Revelation) 20:4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Yahuwshuwa, and for the word of Elohiym, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands: and they lived and reigned with Messiah a thousand years.
Counterfeit Father & Son: The Beast & his Image
Satan has masqueraded himself as the father of ancient Babylon (Nimrod) who had a reincarnated son named Tammuz (Ezekiel 8:14). In Isaiah 14:12 and in Ezekiel 28, we read prophecies about the King of Tyrus and the King of Babylon (who were supposedly reincarnations of Nimrod according to pagan folklore), but these prophecies are also about Satan himself who was “In the Garden of Eden.”
See my other article entitled: “Is Lucifer the Morning Star?” After Nimrod was killed for his crimes of offering up children to Moloch (Satan), his wife and mother Semiramis formulated a plan whereby the Babylonian Empire would continue without Nimrod.
She became pregnant on March 25th (the Spring Equinox) and then nine months later she gave birth to Tammuz (Ezekiel 8:14) on December 25th (the Winter Solstice). She told the Babylonians that Nimrod (her dead son and husband) had impregnated her with the “rays of the sun” by some miraculous conception. And this is how she was able to keep the money coming into this pagan religion.

And this is how she was able to keep the money coming into this pagan religion.
And today, each and every pope is called “The Holy Father” and he is supposedly a reincarnation of Nimrod. But our Messiah commanded us not to “call any many on earth Father” (Matthew 23:9). After Nimrod was killed at the Apennine Mountains (the seven hills that today surround the Vatican), his body parts were chopped off like limbs to a tree and delivered to all ten provinces in the land of Shinar.
Semiramis then commanded the Babylonians to memorialize Nimrod by cutting down a tree in his honor every year on his birthday (December 25th) and to decorate it with silver and gold balls which were supposed to be his testicles. The people were also commanded to leave a gift underneath the tree in his honor. We are commanded in Jeremiah 10 not to learn the ways of the heathens by doing the same practices that they do.

Today the Vatican proudly boasts that the Pope is the “The Visible image of Christ on earth…”
In the Catholic Catechism: Pg. 235 #882 it says: “For the Roman Pontiff, by reason of his office as Vicar of Christ, and as pastor of the entire Church has full, supreme, and universal power over the whole Church, a power which he can always exercise unhindered.”
The office of the Pope claims to be both Father & Son in the “image of a man” called the Pope. The word “pope” in Latin is “pappas” which means “father.”
These ten toes in the last days become “ten horns” on the corporate image of the man called “the Beast.” The word beast in prophecy always means “an empire.” The image of a man shown to Nebuchadnezzar and then the interpretation thereof explained to Daniel by the angel is a combination of all the former empires of the world that will come together in the last days as a “One World Empire.”
To read more about how Nimrod is the pattern for the end-time beast, read my other article entitled: “Nimrod, the Papacy & Pangaea”
Nimrod was the first one to combine a one world government, a one world religion, and a one world economy to form a global New World Order under Moloch (Satan). But not only will this “image of a man” ascend out of the bottomless pit and become a corporate government, but there will be a “man of sin” (2nd Thessalonians 2:3) called “the little horn” in Daniel 7:8 & 8:9. This “man of sin” will be the “image of the beast.” In order to understand how this mechanism is going to work, we need to break down the 13th Chapter of the Revelation shown to the Apostle Yahuwchanon (John).
Chazown (Revelation) 13:1 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.
*Explanation: In Genesis 22:17 YaHuWaH promised to give Abraham descendants as numerous as the “the sand of the seashore.” The same familiar language is being used here of “sand of the sea” which tells us that these are people. Out of many people comes an empire (a beast). The fact that he rises out of the sea tells us that this is Satan who is called “the dragon” in prophecy.
In Ezekiel 28, the King of Tyrus was described as one who had been “in the Garden of Eden” and we also know that he was “more subtle than any beast of the field” (Genesis 3:1). Tyrus was an ancient Phoenician city near the Mediterranean Sea. When Nimrod was killed, pagan legend says that the remains of his body were thrown into the Mediterranean Sea and he was then reincarnated as a giant fish called “Dagon.” Satan is this dragon or giant sea reptile who is now coming back up out of the sea as an alleged reincarnation of Nimrod!
Every pope wears the very same “Dagon Fish Mitre” that the priests of Ba’al wore to signify Nimrod the fish-god! Now we can see that this “beast” (empire) has seven heads (the seven mountains that surround the Vatican), and this beast also has “ten horns” (ten political powers) and upon his “heads” the name of blasphemy. What are these “heads”?
Every pope wears a crown upon his “heads” and on this crown is a name of blasphemy that adds up to 666. What is it? Pictured here is the “triple crown” that every pope is crowned with upon coronation. The crown has an inscription on it that says “Vicarius Filii Dei” which in Latin literally means “Substitute for the Son of God.” In Latin, each letter has a numerical value, just like in Hebrew and in Greek. When all of the letters to this title “Vicarius Filii Dei” are added up, we see the formula adds up to 666!

2 And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.
3 And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.
4 And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?
The “head” that was wounded to death symbolizes authority. This refers to the papal government which lost it’s power under Napoleon Bonaparte in 1798 but then in 1929 under Mussolini, it’s “deadly wound was healed.” Even the newspapers world-wide in 1929 had headlines that read: “Deadly Wound of the Papacy Healed after Many Years.”
This means that the papal government was allowed to come back into power under direction of Mussolini, through the Lateran Treaty signed by Ten European Nations (NATO) which are “ten horns on the beast.” Many people of the world are even now worshiping the dragon, Satan through the infiltration of the Illuminati.
Now you will notice that “they worshiped the dragon” and who is the dragon? It is Satan himself, that same subtle beast who was in the garden! And then it says “and they worshiped the beast” and who is the beast? The beast is the One World Empire that was created by the dragon (Satan).
Chazown (Revelation) 13:
5 And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.
6 And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against Elohiym, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.
7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.
8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
9 If any man have an ear, let him hear.
10 He that leads into captivity shall go into captivity: he that kills with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.
11 And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spoke as a dragon.
12 And he exercises all the power of the first beast before him, and causes the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.
He is also being given a “mouth” with which to speak blasphemies against our Creator. He is also going to persecute the true servants of Yah for a period of 3.5 years (42 months) during what is called “The great tribulation” (Matthew 24:15). Now there is “another beast” that comes up out of the earth (not the sea) as the first beast. What is the difference?
The reference to the sea indicates that this is Satan the dragon who is ascending from the bottomless pit. But the reference to the “earth” indicates that this is a human being made from the “dust of the earth” (Genesis 2:7, 13:16). Elohiym created Adam from the “dust of the ground.” Now why does this second beast have only two horns instead of ten? As I said before horns are political powers because this is how kings are anointed (with a horn of oil). America is a nation with two “political powers” (Democrat & Republican) and America became a “world power” in 1945.
And so the ten European nations that put the first papal beast back into power is now being followed up by another beast (America) who exercises all of the same power of the Roman Papacy! The second beast (America) causes the world to worship the first beast (the Papacy) whose deadly wound was healed in 1929!
Why do they always wear black? It is to show their inferiority to “his majesty” the “Holy Father” who wears all white to signify that he is supposedly “the visible image of Christ on earth.”
Chazown (Revelation) 13:
13 And he does great wonders, so that he makes fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,
14 And deceives them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.
*Explanation: Now it is important first to note that a “horn” always represents political power because this is how the kings of Judah were anointed as king. An animal horn filled with olive oil was poured upon their heads and this is what gave them the “anointing” to be the king. The first beast had 7 heads representing “seven mountains” (Revelation 17:9).
These seven mountains I believe are actually the seven continents of the world that used to be one big continent before Pangaea in Genesis 10:32 when the earth was divided. But after these continents split, the central location for the Land of Shinar (Nimrod’s kingdom) shifted from Iraq and Assyria to where the “seven hills of Rome” are now located around the Vatican.
This is where Nimrod fled his pursuers and was killed. He will again be resurrected out of the bottomless pit in the same location! The fact that he does great wonders shows that there are many false “televangelists” in America who are performing “lying signs and wonders” (Revelation 16:13-14 2nd Thessalonians 2:9) that are deceiving many people. America is that two-party political beast that will “make an image” of the papacy whose deadly wound was healed in 1929.

Chazown (Revelation) 13:
15 And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.
16 And he causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
17 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.
18 Here is wisdom. Let him that has understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six (666).
*Explanation: Now the second beast two-party political beast (America) will give life to this “image” of the first beast (the papacy) and they will make this image come to life and speak! I personally believe that this will be a “clone” of a pope or even perhaps “a clone of Jesus” (supposedly) from the “Shroud of Turin.”
America, this “second beast” or two-party political power will be the one to force “all people” to receive a “mark” in their right hand or in their foreheads. America will prevent people from being able to “buy or sell” unless they have the “mark” (a sub-dermal RFID chip) or the “name” of the beast (the pope) or his number which is 666. To read more about this phenomenon, see my other article at this link: “Prophetic Dreams About Cloning & Maitreya the False Messiah”

The Mark, Sign & Seal of YaHuWaH
YaHuWaH has given us “signs” that identify him and he tells us in the Torah what these are:
Bereshiyth (Genesis) 1:14 And Elohiym said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:
He wants us to keep his times and seasons according to his new moons and Sabbaths “forever, unto all your generation, in all your dwellings.” He gave us the celestial time-keeping pieces of “the sun, the moon and the stars” for “signs and for seasons” (Genesis 1:14).
YaHuWaH tells us to bind the commandments as a “sign” upon our hand and upon our foreheads. The “hand” represents our “deeds” or our “works” because we work with our hands. When he says to bind the commandments upon our foreheads (frontlets between the eyes), this represents our mind.
Debariym (Deuteronomy) 6:8 And you shall bind them for a sign upon your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes.
When we have the “mind of Messiah” we will desire to keep his commandments.
HAND = WORKS, DEEDS.
FOREHEAD = OUR THOUGHTS, OUR MIND.
Shemoth (Exodus) 31:
13 Speak you also unto the children of Yisra’el, saying,Verily my sabbaths you shall keep: for it is a sign between me and you throughout your generations; that you may know that I am YHWH that does sanctify you.
14 You shall keep the sabbath therefore; for it is holy unto you: every one that defiles it shall surely be put to death: for whosoever does any work therein, that soul shall be cut off from among his people.
15 Six days may work be done; but in the seventh is the sabbath of rest, holy to YHWH: whosoever does any work in the sabbath day, he shall surely be put to death.
16 Wherefore the children of Yisra’el shall keep the sabbath, to observe the sabbath throughout their generations, for a perpetual covenant.
17 It is a sign between me and the children of Yisra’el forever: for in six days YHWH made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed.
Yechezqel (Ezekiel) 20:12 Moreover also I gave them my sabbaths, to be a sign between me and them, that they might know that I am YHWH that sanctify them.
Yechezqel (Ezekiel) 20:20 And hallow my sabbaths; and they shall be a sign between me and you, that you may know that I am YHWH your Elohiym.
In all of the above verses, the word for “sign” in the Hebrew Concordance is as follows:
#226 owth oth probably from 225 (in the sense of appearing); a signal (literally or figuratively), as a flag, beacon, monument, omen, prodigy, evidence, etc.:--mark, miracle, en-sign, token.
Ibriym (Hebrews) 10:16 This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, says YHWH, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them.
No longer are the commandments in stone tablets, but they have been transferred into “fleshy tables of the heart.”(2nd Corinthians 3:3).
The commandments have not been “nailed to the cross” as many have been falsely taught to believe. But something else was nailed to the cross---what was it?
In Colossians 2:14, the Apostle Sha’ul (Paul) says that “the commandments contained in ordinances” were nailed to the cross. But when you look up the Greek word for “ordinance,” it is the word “dogma” which is a man-made decree. Reading further down in verses 20-22, Sha’ul says that these are “doctrines and command-ments of men,” so we know that he is not speaking of YaHuWaH’s commandments.
He is actually speaking about the “man-made” ordinances of religious institutions such as the pagan holidays instituted by the Papacy like Christmas, Easter, Hallo-ween, Valentine’s Day, Sunday Sabbath etc. He goes on to admonish believers that they should not allow any“man” to judge for wanting to keep YaHuWaH’s Holy Days. He tells them not to go back under any man made traditions“after the rudiments of the world” (Colossians 2:8 & 20).

He tells them not to go back under any man made traditions“after the rudiments of the world” (Colossians 2:8 & 20).
The “seal” of the Holy Spirit that YaHuWaH places on his elect is a promise or like a “down-payment” or an “engagement ring” if you will. The word for “seal” in the following verses is as follows in the Hebrew:
#2368 chowtham kho-thawm or chotham {kho-thawm}; from 2856; a signature-ring:--seal, signet.
Shir ha’Shiriym (Song of Solomon) 8:6 Set me as a seal upon your heart, as a seal upon thine arm for love is strong as death; jealousy is cruel as the grave: the coals thereof are coals of fire, which has a most vehement flame.
Yeshayahuw (Isaiah) 8:16 Bind up the testimony, seal the Towrah (law) among my disciples.
Also in the Briyth Chadashah (Renewed Covenant Scriptures) there are other recurring themes about the “seal” of the Holy Spirit which can be seen in the following verses:
Yahuwchanon (John) 3:33 He that has received his testimony has set to his seal that Elohiym is true.
Yahuwchanon (John) 6:27 Labour not for the meat which perishes, but for that meat which endures unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him has Elohiym the Father sealed.
2nd Qorintiym (Corinthians) 1:22 Who has also sealed us, and given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts.
Ephsiym (Ephesians) 1:13 In whom you also trusted, after that you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that you believed, you were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise.
Ephsiym (Ephesians) 4:30 And grieve not the holy Spirit of Elohiym, whereby you are sealed unto the day of redemption.
2nd Timotiyos (Timothy) 2:19 Nevertheless the foundation of Elohiym stands sure, having this seal, YHWH knows them that are his. And, let everyone that names the name of Mashiyach (Messiah) depart from iniquity.
The same meaning to this word “seal” is also seen in the Greek Concordance as in the Hebrew. It means “a signet ring” or a “mark”:
#4972. sphragizo sfrag-id-zo from 4973; to stamp (with a signet private mark) for security or preservation (literally or figuratively); by implication, to keep secret, to attest:--(set a, set to) seal up, stop.
#4973. sphragis sfrag-ece probably strengthened from 5420; a signet (as fencing in or protecting from misappropriation); by implication, the stamp impressed (as a mark of privacy or genuineness), literally or figuratively:--seal.
The elect have their names written in the right hand of the Lamb who sits on the throne:
Chazown (Revelation) 5:1 And I saw the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals.
He has engraved us in the palms of his hands, which is why he bore the nails in his hands and feet.
The Hebrew Letter “Taw” looks exactly like the “cross” (execution stake) where Messiah was sacrificed!
This is the same word used for “mark” in this prophecy:
Yechezqel (Ezekiel) 9:4 “...set a mark upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry for all the abominations that be done in the midst thereof.”
Yechezqel (Ezekiel) 9:4 “...set a mark upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry for all the abominations that be done in the midst thereof.”
But there is also another mark that YaHuWaH places on his children to those who “follow the lamb wherever he goes.” These people described in Revelation 14 are ones who are “undefiled by the WOMAN” or the Mother Harlot Church typified in Jezebel who teaches the servants of Yah to eat things sacrifices unto idols (Revelation 2:20-23). These are spiritual virgins who “have washed their garments in is blood of the lamb” (Revelation 14:4).
These spiritual virgins receive another mark as well called the “Alef & Taw” which literally means “The first and the last” because they are the “first fruits” or the first born sons of YaHuWaH. This mark is seen in Revelation 14:1-4 for they have: “Their Father’s name written in their foreheads.”
YaHuWaH יהוה
The Alef represents “The ox head” or “The red heifer” and the Taw represents the “cross” of our Messiah, and also the “Two sticks” (two olive trees) of Ezekiel 37:16-19. Our Messiah died on the tree for “The Two Houses of Yisra’el,” which are Ephrayim & Yahuwdah (Judah).
#8420 tav tawv from 8427; a mark, by implication, a signature:-desire, mark.
#8427 tavah taw-vaw a primitive root; to mark out, i.e. (primitive) scratch or (definite) imprint:--scrabble, set (a mark).
Sha’ul (Paul) the Apostle also speaks about the “marks” that he bore in his body for Messiah:
Galatiym (Galatians) 6:14-17 “....But Elohiym (God) forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Master Yahuwshuwa Messiah, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world.....From henceforth let no man trouble me: I bear in my body the marks of the Master Yahuwshuwa.”
What he is saying is that these “marks” are born in his body as well as in his spirit because he is crucified to the flesh.
Also, in 2nd Corinthians 4:10 Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Master Yahuwshuwa, that the life also of Yahuwshuwa might be made manifest in our body.
Once again we “bear in our body” the “marks” of his cross by our crucified lives! It is both spiritual and physical; therefore “the Mark of the Beast” is also both physical and spiritual.
YaHuWaH marks his own in the foreheads with an invisible “mark” which is mentioned in Ezekiel 9:6, Revelation 3:12, Revelation 7:3 & Revelation 14:1.
In Exodus 6:8, he tells his covenant bride to “bind the commandments” as a “sign” upon her hand and upon her forehead (the frontlets of the eyes). This word for “sign” is the Hebrew word “owth” and it literally means: “a miraculous or distinguishing mark.”
The same Hebrew word for “sign” or “mark” is used once again in connection to keeping his Sabbaths (Feasts) in Ezekiel 20:12-20 and Exodus 31:13.
In Ezekiel 9:6 a “mark” is placed on those who “sigh and cry at the abominations” that are being done in the temple and in Jerusalem in the last days. That “mark” is the “Taw” (Tav) which the last letter in the Hebrew Alphabet. It looks just like two crossed sticks as pictured here.
This is the very same “mark” given to the remnant tribes of 144 thousand in Revelation 7:3. In Revelation 7, YaHuWaH tells the angel to seal the 12 tribes in their foreheads (12,000 from each tribe).
But in Ezekiel 8, YaHuWaH lists what all of these “abominations” are that his elect will “sigh and cry” about.
These set-apart ones who are the “elect” of Yah also sigh and cry about the worship of the sun-god Tammuz who is supposedly the reincarnated son of Nimrod celebrated each year on December 25th by the pagans.
These ones who are sealed in the foreheads will also sigh and cry about those who “put the branch to the nose” which is a symbol for Nimrod (the abominable branch) in Isaiah 14:19.
This is today called “kissing under the mistletoe.” The people of Yisra’el began to practice the same abominations of the surrounding nations that originated from the Tower of Babel and they were now incorporating these practices into the Temple of YaHuWaH!
In the 9th chapter of Ezekiel, just after YaHuWaH listed all of these abominations, he told the “writer with the ink horn” to “place a mark” on those who “sign and cry” at these abominations which is the last letter in the Hebrew Alphabet known as the Taw:
That mark is seen in the Hebrew Strong’s Concordance as follows:
#8420: Tawv: signature, desire, mark.
It is made up of two Hebrew letters: תו
What does this mean? It means “eternal life.” If we have the mark of “The first and the last” that means that we have eternal life and we will live forever with him!
The Taw also represents coming to the “end” of our sinful nature. Messiah is the “end result” of obeying the Towrah (law) according to Romans 10:4. When he writes his Torah (laws) in our hearts and minds, the end result will be that we become exactly like him!
Hence, the Mark of YaHuWaH is given to those who “do his commandments” indicated by “The hand” and those who “Think on his name” (Jeremiah 23:27, Psalms 79:6, Isaiah 64:7, Joel 2:32). The “forehead” or “the frontlets of the eyes” has to do with those who “think” upon the name of YaHuWaH and those who “meditate” on his Torah (Psalms 1:2, Joshua 1:8).
YaHuWaH’s Sabbaths and Feast Days are shown to be a “sign” or a “mark” of ownership to those who belong to him. In Revelation 19:12 it says that those who “have the testimony of Yahuwshuwa” are they who “keep the commandments” and these also have the right to “eat from the tree of life” (Revelation 12:17, 22:14).
And to those who “overcome” the Beast and his system, Yahuwshuwa offers us the “hidden manna,” which are the mysteries to understand the Kingdom. He is the “hidden manna” that bread from heaven who reveals himself only to his bride!
Chazown (Revelation) 2:17 “....To him that overcomes will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knows saving he that receives it.”
Back in 2002 when I was in prayer YaHuWaH Elohiym spoke to me and said “your new name is Ariel.” I was kind of shocked because at that time I was not really aware of the fact that the name Ariel was in scripture. So I looked it up and found it in Isaiah 29 and it says that it was a city that David built and dwelt in. It also said in the Strong’s Concordance that it is “another name for Jerusalem” and it also means “Lion of Elohiym.” Then a few months later I understood why he gave me that new name when I read Revelation 3:12:
Chazown (Revelation) 3:12: “…Him that overcomes will I make a pillar in the temple of my Elohiym, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my Elohiym, and the name of the city of my Elohiym, which is new Yerushalayim (Jerusalem), which comes down out of heaven from my Elohiym: and I will write upon him my new name…”
At that point I realized that he gave me the name “Ariel” because that is another name for New Yerushalayim!
Substitute Son of Elohiym & Substitute Sabbath
It is imperative to understand that the 4th commandment of YaHuWaH contains the “seal” which identifies him and differentiates him from all of the other false pagan deities.
If Satan wants to “substitute” the image of the Son of Elohiym with a counterfeit, then it only stands to reason why he has to also “substitute” the “The Day of YaHuWaH” (the seventh day) to the day of Sun-day for the “sun-god.” Sunday has never been “The day of the Lord” as falsely taught in the Christian Church. It has always represented the day of a different “Lord” but not the true Messiah Yahuwshuwa!
Which Lord does Sunday represent?
In the Hebrew Strong’s Concordance, the pagan sun-god named “Baal” is seen as follows:
Satan is called “the Lord” or “Ba’al” which is another code name for Nimrod, Tammuz, Mithra, Horus, Apollo and all the other impostors who were all born on December 25th at the winter solstice as a supposed reincarnation of the sun-god.
In Daniel 7:23, YaHuWaH showed Daniel that “The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom on earth.” Daniel saw in his vision, that this 4th beast, (which would be the Roman Empire), “shall think to change times and laws” (Daniel 7:25).
Daniel’s vision is accurately portrayed in Ferraris’ Ecclesiastical Dictionary:
“The Pope has the power to change times, to abrogate laws, and to dispense with all things, even the precepts of Christ. The Pope has the authority and often exercised it, to dispense with the command of Christ.”---Decretal de Tranlatic Episcop. Cap (The Pope can modify divine law) Ferraris Ecclesiastical Dictionary.
Listen to what the Vatican claims is their “mark of authority” over the Protestant Churches. The Roman Catholic Church proudly “boasts” of her rebellion against the commandment of YaHuWaH:
“Perhaps the boldest thing, the most revolutionary change the Church ever did, happened in the first century. The Holy day, the Sabbath, was changed from Saturday to Sunday. ‘The day of the Lord’ was chosen, NOT from any direction noted in the Scriptures, but from the Church's sense of its own power…People who think that the Scriptures should be the sole authority, should logically become Seventh-day Adventists, and keep Saturday holy.”---Saint Catherine Church Sentinel, Algonac, Michigan, May 21, 1995.
“Of Course the Catholic Church claims that the change (Saturday Sabbath to Sunday) was her act…And the act is a MARK of her ecclesiastical authority in religious things.” H.F. Thomas, Chancellor of Cardinal Gibbons.
“Sunday is our MARK of authority…the church is above the Bible, and this transference of Sabbath observance is the proof of that fact.” ---Catholic Record of London, Ontario Sept 1, 1923.
“Protestants do not realize that by observing Sunday worship instead of Saturday Sabbath, that they accept the authority of the Holy Father of the Church, the Pope.”----Our Sunday Visitor, February 5, 1950.
“No such law in the Bible…Nowhere in the Bible do we find that Jesus or the apostles ordered that the Sabbath be changed from Saturday to Sunday. We have the commandment of God given to Moses to keep the Sabbath day that is the seventh day of the week, Saturday. Today, most Christians keep Sunday because it has been revealed to us by the Roman Catholic Church outside the Bible.”-----Catholic Virginian, October 3, 1947.
“Sunday is a Catholic Institution…..From the beginning to the end of Scripture there is not a single passage that warrants the transfer….from the last day of the week to the first.”----Catholic Press, Sydney Australia, August 1998.
“Had she not such power, she could not have done that in which all modern religionists agree with her;----she could not have SUBSTITUTED observance of Saturday the seventh day, a change for which there is NO SCRIPTURAL AUTHORITY.”----Rev. Steven Keenan, A Doctrinal Catechism, “On the Obedience Due to the Church,” chapter 2, pg 174.----Imprimatur, John Cardinal McCloskey, archbishop of New York.
The world is already moving towards this civil legislation to make “Sunday” worship mandatory by law:
“Christians will naturally strive to ensure that civil legislation’ respects their duty to make Sunday holy”----Section 67 of Pope John Paul II's “Dies Domini”, July 7th 1998.
“The Pope is calling for Global Sunday Observance”---From the Brook, July-Sept 1998, Vol. 4, No.3.
“This organization proposes in every possible way to aid in preserving Sunday as a civil institution. Our national security requires the active support of all good citizens in the maintenance of our American Sabbath. Sunday Laws must be enforced.”---Quoted as “Principles contained in the Constitution” in the original organization (then called the American Sabbath Union), cited in The Lord’s Alliance 25th Report (1913) pg. 6.
“If we believe religion is true, we should be re-introducing a criminal penalty for those who fail to attend church on Sunday.”----Daily Independent 4-11-98, Sarah Maitland “On the issues of belief.”
A bill to be introduced in the Morobe Tutamang . The proposed Bill expected to draw debate because it seeks to ban all activities –social and economic on Sunday. The Law will carry penalty provisions for operators and agencies caught violating it. Mr. Wenge said yesterday the move was radical one but that was based on “Christian” principles and values. The Bill is being drafted for tabling in the provincial assembly in its first session next year-----Post Courier News Paper October 6, 1998 Papua New Guinea.
Not only has the papacy been instrumental in changing the weekly Sabbath from the 7th day (Saturday) to the 1st day (Sunday) after the “sun-god” but the papacy has also been instrumental in disguising the “eight pagan Sabbaths” that the witches, Wiccans, & Satanists call “holy.” All of Satan’s important “holidays” since the Tower of Babel have been changed by the papacy to appear “Christian” but they never were.
Daniyel (Daniel) 7:
23 Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be diverse from all kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces.
25 And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.
The “Beast” is the 4th Kingdom = Rome
This “Beast” has the power to “change times and laws....”
Feasts for the Beast are Full of Yeast!
These commandments of the papacy are being taught in the church and in seminaries. This, my friends is the “leaven” or yeast that grows within the church today and it is a “bacteria” that hinders us from seeing him as the “Unleavened Bread from Heaven.”
It is Yahuwshuwa our Messiah who is that “Bread of Life” and he is revealed in his Holy Feasts, for they are the “the testimony of Yahuwshuwa” (Revelation 19:10). But Satan has presented Eight Pagan Sabbaths annually to the Christian Church through the Papacy. They have been given a different name to make them appear “Christian,” but they are feasts offered up to Baal and YaHuWaH hates them!

There are “Eight Pagan Sabbaths” annually on the Witches Calendar that date all the way back to Nimrod & the Tower of Babel. What are these Satanic holidays that have been renamed by the Vatican?
1.) Yule: (Christmas) December 21st - 25th the winter solstice; renamed Christ Mass as the “mass of Christ.”
2.) Imbolc: (Valentine’s Day) February 2nd - 14th
3.) Ostara: (Easter) March 21st - 25th the Vernal or Spring Equinox the resurrection of the pagan goddess of fertility named Ishtar.
4.) Beltane: (May-day) April 30th - May 1st in honor of Semiramis & Isis the Queen of Heaven (Catholic Church calls Mary the Queen of Heaven).
5.) Midsummer Solstice: June 21st the Catholic Church renamed this Saint John’s day.
6.) Lughnasadh: August 1st - 15th the ascension day of Queen Semiramis of Babylon. The Catholic Church renamed this day the “Ascension of Mary.”
7.) Mabon: Autumn Equniox: September 21st
8.) Samhain: (Halloween) October 31st - November 1st; The Vatican renamed this “All-Saint’s Day” or “All-Soul’s Day.”
Today those same “pagan Sabbaths” have been covered up with a so-called “Christian” veneer by the Papacy. The Vatican wants you to believe that these Satanic celebrations in honor of Ba’al are actually “Christian holidays,” but our Creator YaHuWaH has already given his covenant people “Seven Annual Sabbaths” that he wants us to keep as a “sign” of our Covenant with him! See Exodus 31:13 & Ezekiel 20:20.
The commandments tell us “how” YaHuWaH wants to be worshiped. But the antithesis to this is the way that Satan wants to be worshiped through a different set of Feast Days which identify him. So you see, what Feasts we keep in these last days will determine which Mighty One we are really serving! Which Feasts will you keep? The Feasts for the Beast which are full of yeast? Or will you honor the Feasts of YaHuWaH? The 4th Commandment tells us to keep the Holy Sabbath’s of YaHuWaH. This commandment is speaking not only of the weekly “seventh day” Sabbath, but also of the seven annual Sabbaths as well!

The Mark, Sign & Seal of the Beast
Not only does the “office of the pope” add up to 666, but the final “man of sin” will actually have a “name” that adds up to 666 as well. The only pope in history whose name adds up to 666 is John Paul II! Will they make a clone of him? See my other article entitled: “The Eighth King”
The Word “Anti” & “Antichrist”
The word Vicar in Latin literally means “substitute.” Is the Pope the substitute for Christ?
In the Greek Strong’s Concordance the word for “anti” is as follows:
#473 anti, an-tee; a prim. particle; opposite, i.e. instead or because of (rarely in addition to):--for, in the room of. Often used in composition to denote contrast, requital, *substitution*, correspondence, etc.
An example of how anti is used this way can be found in the word type and antitype, which are used with respect to Bible prophecy. The “type” is the pattern or symbol, and the “antitype” is the fulfillment. The first Passover in the book of Exodus was a “type” and the crucifixion of our Messiah was the “antitype” or fulfillment of the example of the type. When you substitute the antitype into the symbolism of the type, you arrive at the complete meaning.
The Vicar of Christ (Vicarius Christi)
The title “Vicar of Christ” is used almost exclusively for the Bishop of Rome as a “supposed” successor of Peter and, therefore, the definition “the one in the Church who particularly takes the place of Christ.” But this word is also used for the bishops in general and even of priests.
It was first used by the Roman Synod of A.D. 495 to refer to Pope Gelasius, more commonly in Roman curial usage to refer to the Bishop of Rome during the pontificate of Pope Eugene III (1145-1153). Pope Innocent III (1198-1216) asserted explicitly that the Pope is the Vicar of Christ. Further defined at the Council of Florence in the Decree for the Greeks (1439) and Vatican Council I in Pastor Aerternus (1870). The Second Vatican Council, in Lumen Gentium, n.27, calls bishops in general “vicars and legates of Christ.”
“All bishops are vicars of Christ for their local churches in their ministerial functions as priest, prophet, and king, as the Pope is for the universal church; the title further denotes they exercise their authority in the Church not by delegation from any other person, but from Christ Himself.”
Source: Catholic Dictionary, Peter M.J. Stravinskas, Editor, published by Our Sunday Visitor, Inc., Huntington, 1993, pp. 484-485.
The Words Vicarious and Vicar
Now look up the word vicarious in almost any common dictionary. Here is what you would find in the Webster Handy College Dictionary: “substituting for or, feeling in place of another.”
Also in the Webster’s II New Riverside Desk Dictionary for the definition of Vicar:
A parish priest in the Church of England. 2. A cleric in the Episcopal Church in charge of a chapel. 3. One who serves as a *substitute* for another.
A Vicar General is defined in the 1994 Catholic Almanac on page 330 as “a priest or bishop appointed by the bishop of a diocese to serve as his deputy, with ordinary executive power, in the administration of the diocese.”
So a vicar serves in the place of (substituting for) the bishop, and assumes his power of office for certain duties.
So the Papal title of VICAR OF CHRIST which in Latin is VICARIUS CHRISTI, means a SUBSTITUTE FOR CHRIST, which is synonymous with Antichrist, i.e., assuming the power of the Creator on earth! This blasphemous claim is made repeatedly by various Popes and is the very foundation of Roman Catholicism and its Papacy.
Some Catholics may protest that the “Pope represents,” but does not substitute for the Messiah (whom they call Jesus Christ), to avoid the association. Now, from the Webster Hand College Dictionary, the definition of the word represents:
1). Portray; depict; describe.
2). Play the role of; impersonate.
3). Denote; symbolize; stand for.
4). Speak and act for; “be a substitute for.”
5). Set forth; assert.
6). Be composed of; consist in.
Clearly then, Vicar of Christ (Vicarious Christi) and Antichrist have exactly the same meaning. The Pope substitutes himself in place of Elohiym (God) on earth, and that is exactly the meaning of Antichrist!
Not too long ago many of the Protestant Reformers believed that the office of the Pope was the office of the Antichrist.
Let’s see who these men were: Wycliff, Luther, Calvin, Tyndale, Knox, Sir Isaac Newton, Fox, Wesley, Finney, Moody, Spurgeon. Could they be right? Let’s see what the popes have had to say about themselves:
“We declare, assert, define and pronounce: to be subject to the Roman Pontiff is to every human creature altogether necessary for salvation…” (Pope Boniface VIII)
“We hold upon this earth the place of God Almighty…” (Pope Leo XIII)
“I am all in all and above all, so that God, Himself and I, the Vicar of God, have but one consistory, and I am able to do ALMOST ALL THAT GOD CAN DO…. what therefore, can you make of me but God?” (Pope Nicholas)
Theory or Speculation?
Now please understand that this is merely a theory of mine. But in order for Satan to “claim” that he is Elohiym (God) according to 2nd Thessalonians 2, he would have to take on the role of the CREATOR!
How can Satan claim that he “created the creator Elohiym?”
Well one way is through cloning!
There are groups out there who claim that they have already “cloned” an image of “Jesus” from the burial cloth called “The Shroud of Turin.”
If they did in fact succeed in using the DNA from the Shroud to clone “Jesus” on March 25th 2000, then that would make him ready to act as an impostor of Yahuwshuwa the Messiah by the year 2030.
Satan has always wanted to be YaHuWaH, the Creator, and now, he may finally get his chance to “Create God.” Of course even if this “Cloning of Jesus” becomes a reality, it may have his physical characteristics yet it still won’t possess the divinity of our Messiah Yahuwshuwa (whom the Catholic Church calls Jesus). Clones do not have a soul!
This cloning process would be the epitome of the “creature” trying to become the “the creator.” The prophecies in Isaiah 14:14 & Ezekiel 28:2-6 show Satan as one who has said in his heart that he would become “like the most high Elohiym.”
Cloning “Jesus” would be the ultimate blasphemy of man trying to create and become the Creator. Hence, this is the reason why the number 666 represents his “mark” in Revelation 16:18.
YaHuWaH created man and beast on the 6th day of creation. But since YaHuWaH is triune in nature (having three functions) as Father, Son & Holy Spirit (but not three separate persons), it then stands to reason why the scriptures reveal 666 as man trying to become like the triune creator.
Though this is merely a theory of mine, I believe that a “clone of Jesus,” made from the “Shroud of Turin” could very well be the IMAGE to the “beast.”
See my blog entitled: Will the “Image of the Beast” be “A Clone of Jesus?”
This shroud allegedly has an impression of Messiah’s face and entire body left from his blood. Some scientists claim that is authentic, but I personally believe that it is a hoax. The scriptures tell us that there were two separate pieces: a napkin around his head, and another cloth that wrapped his entire body (John 20:7). But the Shroud is only one single piece of cloth, and so this contradicts scripture.
Maitreya the “Christ” for All Religions?
Satan’s false Messiah called the Antichrist will profess to be a “reincarnation” of the real Messiah Yahuwshuwa. But of course he will use the false name “Jesus” and not the true Hebrew name.
Will there be a “Clone of Jesus” from the Shroud of Turin sitting in the 3rd Jewish Temple?
Will the next Pope, “The Eighth King” of Revelation 17 be the one who will be possessed by Maitreya the false Christ for all religions? Does this sound far-fetched to you? Well think again! The New Age Author, Lecturer, and “channeler,” Benjamin Crème wrote in 1984 in the New York Times:
“Jesus will be here too, at home in Rome, ‘possessing’ the Pope.”
The New York Times ran a full page ad as well as newspapers worldwide back in 1984 that read:
“In the last 2000 years Jesus has worked in the closest relation to the Christ, saving his time and his energy where possible and has special work to do with the Christian Church. He (Jesus) is one of the Masters who will very shortly return to outer work in the world TAKING OVER THE THRONE OF ST. PETER IN ROME. He will seek to transform the Christian Church, insofar as they are flexible enough to respond correctly to the new reality which is the return of Christ and the Masters will create.”---Benjamin Crème----“Reappearance of the Christ and the Masters of Wisdom.”
Yahuwshuwa already warned us that when he returns it will be in the sky for all to see!
Mattithyahuw (Matthew) 24:24-27 For there shall arise false Messiah’s, and false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. Behold, I have told you before. Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not. For as the lightning comes out of the east, and shines even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

WARNING: HUGE DECEPTION ABOUT THE MARK OF THE BEAST!!!
Recently, it has come to my attention that there is a big fat lie being circulated to people in the body of Messiah about what the “Mark of the Beast” really is. A man by the name of Walid Shoebat has been on Christian Television and is using a corrupted Bible text called the “Vaticanus Codex” in order to refute scripture. Revelation 13:16-18 tells us precisely what the “Mark of the Beast” is:
Chazown (Revelation) 13:16-18 (King James Version)
16 And he causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
17 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.
18 Here is wisdom. Let him that has understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six (666).
*Note: You will notice that all modern Bible translations other than the Authorized King James Version (to include the New King James Version) says “on the hand” or “on the forehead” rather than “in the hand” or “in the forehead.”
This minor change from “in” in the KJV to “on” in all other translations is deliberate!
People, the microchip implant is a “sub-dermal” chip meaning “underneath the skin” or “in the hand” not a topical mark “on the hand.” You can hear the testimony of Carl Sanders below in the podcast I did with him back in 2009 to find out the scientific evidence for this.
Below is a video of this man named Walid Shoebat. He states in the video below from that the Vaticanus Codex DOES NOT contain the number 666 in the text. The Greek Textus Receptus used for the Authorized King James Version agrees with English Aramaic New Testament in Revelation 16:18. Nobody had the right to “add or remove” words from the book of Revelation!
Who is Walid Shoebat?
Walid Shoebat is a Palestinian American, born in the West Bank to an American mother, who converted to Christianity from Islam. Shoebat has claimed that he used to be a Palestinian Liberation Organization terrorist in a CNN television interview.
He is a self-proclaimed expert on the dangers of Islam[2] and is also a strong supporter of the State of Israel. Shoebat has also claimed that he firebombed the Israeli bank Bank Leumi.
However, after thoroughly investigating his claim, reporters and officials have found absolutely no evidence of any attack at all on the bank during the (1977-1979 period) period in which Shoebat claims to have carried out the attack.
Shoebat’s claim to have been a terrorist only rests upon his account of the purported bombing of Bank Leumi, but here again after checking its own files back to the 1970’s, the bank shows no record of any bomb attack in the history of its Bethlehem branch, and specifically none in the relevant 1977-79 period in which Shoebat claims to have been active.
From the first time I heard the testimony of Walid Shoebat in 2007, I knew in my gut that this man was a Jesuit-Illuminati infiltrator working for the Vatican agenda. But I could not prove it to the masses. However, now in the year 2016, there is enough evidence to that he is a Jesuit so that I can comfortably declare that I am certain that he is indeed a Jesuit.
See the YouTube Videos below showing the false teachings that he peddles to further the cause of the Papacy & Political Zionism:

Anti-Terrorist Trainer
In
this video, Walid Shoebat claims that instead of the numbers 666, the Vaticanus
Codex (used by the Catholic Church, hence the name Vaticanus) contains the
Arabic word “ALLAH” instead of 666.
He goes on to promote the lie of the
Vatican that tells people that instead of the “Mark of the Beast” being a computer chip with the numbers
666 in it, it will be a “paper
badge” with the name ALLAH on the hand or on the forehead.
He goes
on to say that people will be forced to wear this badge with the name “ALLAH”
on their arm or on their forehead, and if they refuse, they will be
decapitated.
Listen to his false teaching here:
The only problem is, you have to turn your Bible sideways or upside down to make it look like the Arabic sign for Allah! Would our Creator, YaHuWaH expect us to turn his Holy Scriptures upside down in order to find the truth? Who is the one who is famous for turning things upside down?
And below to the right, is the very same symbol called the “bismallah,” but it has been turned on its side to try to make it resemble the Greek “Chi Xi Stigma.”
This “paper badge” hoax with the name “Allah” may be something that the Global Elite will use as a decoy at some point in the future. However, this idea of a paper badge with the name “Allah” on it does not fit the biblical criteria for the Mark of the Beast.
This is just one more deception that Rome is putting out there to the masses, as a decoy, so that you will not recognize the real Mark of the Beast when it arrives onto the scene. The word “Allah” is an Arabic word which simply means “God.” Allah is not a proper name! Allah is a title, just like the word “God” or “Lord” is a title.
Our Messiah Yahuwshuwa what would happen if anyone attempts to add or remove the words that are written in the book of Revelation. The judgement for changing his words is eternal damnation!
Chazown (Revelation) 22:
18 For I testify unto every man that hears the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, Elohiym shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:
19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, Elohiym shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.
Yahuwshuwa is warning us very clearly here that if ANY MAN ADDS TO THE BOOK OF REVELATION, Elohiym will REMOVE HIS NAME from THE BOOK OF LIFE!
Secondly, as you will find out from listening to the podcasts that I did with Carl Sanders below, the microchip implant also fits other aspects of prophecy in the book of Revelation, and I will list them below.
Six Reasons why the Mark of the Beast is a Microchip Implant and NOT a Paper Badge or an External Mark
1.) The Mark of the Beast goes “inside” the hand or “inside” the forehead (sub-dermal) underneath the skin as seen in the King James Version of the Bible (Revelation 13:16-18). Only the Authorized King James Version says “in the hand” but all modern translations say “on the hand” which is meant to trick people into thinking that it will be an external mark.
2.) The Mark of the Beast causes a “grievous sore:”
Chazown (Revelation) 16:2 And the first went, and poured out his vial upon the earth; and there fell a noisome and grievous sore upon the men which had the mark of the beast, and upon them which worshipped his image.
Carl Sanders testifies about the fact that when he was involved in the development of this sub-dermal chip, he did not like the idea of using “lithium” as the power source to re-charge the battery in the chip. But when he asked the chief scientist about what would happen if the “lithium” leaked out of the battery, he said “it will cause a grievous sore”and those were his EXACT WORDS! This is exactly what Revelation 16:2 says, and this scientist was an atheist who does not know the Bible!
The word for the number 666 in the Strong’s Concordance is seen as follows:
#5516. chi xi stigma: used as numbers; denoting respectively 600, 60, and 6; 666 as a numeral: -----six hundred threescore and six.
From chi xi stigma comes the word stigma:
#4742. stigma, from a prim stizw stizo; to “stick”, i.e. prick; a mark incised or punched (for recognition of ownership), i.e. scar of service:----mark.
In Revelation 13:16-18 the word “mark” in the Greek Textus Receptus is #5480 in the Strong’s Concordance which is charagma.
The word charagma is # 5482; a scratch or etching; i.e. stamp (as a badge of servitude), or a sculptured figure (statue): ----graven.
#5482. in the Strong’s Concordance is the root word for charagma which is charax which is from charasso: to sharpen to a point; akin to #1125 through the idea of scratching.
#5481. in the Strong’s Concordance is character ---another derivative word of charagma; character means: from the same as #5482; a graver; the tool of a person; engraving (character), the figure stamped, i.e. an exact copy or representation: express image.
3.) A paper badge does not cause a “grievous sore” because it does not contain lithium.
4.)A paper badge does not cause a “scar” nor is it an incision or a puncture “inside the skin” like the sub-dermal microchip implant.
5.)By removing the numbers 666 from the inspired words of the Authorized King James Bible, those purporting that the “Mark of the Beast” is the name “Allah” on a paper badge are bringing damnation on themselves!
Yahuwshuwa warned us that if any man shall “take away from the words of the book” of Revelation, that man’s name will be removed out of the book of life! He also warned that if any man shall “add to” the book of Revelation, he will add to that man the “plagues” that are written in the book!
6.) The “mark of the beast” is the name of a MAN, not the name of a false god! Allah is the Arabic word for “God” or Eloah (Hebrew) and it does not describe a man!
Let’s see what the book of Revelation says about the NUMBER OF A MAN:
Chazown (Revelation) 13:17 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.
Chazown (Revelation) 13:18 Here is wisdom. Let him that has understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.
*Note: You will notice that the “man’s name” has a “number” and it does not say that the man’s name is the name of a pagan god (Allah). In verse 18, it says that the “number of the beast” is the NUMBER OF A MAN. Allah is not the name of a MAN!
And furthermore, we all know that the infra-red lights at the grocery stores that scan bar codes were designed to scan microchip implants, not paper badges. Can you imagine the idea of using a paper badge to “buy or sell” at the store? Wow! What a bargain that would be! Everybody knows that the microchip implant contains the following:
6 bits +6 bits +6 bits = 18 bits
Do you see how absurd it is to try to fit a paper badge into this prophecy?
People, every Pope has a NUMBER and a NAME that he takes on in Latin:
The Catholic Church teaches that every pope is the VISIBLE IMAGE OF “JESUS CHRIST” ON EARTH!
Do you smell a rat? The Papacy does not want us to figure this out, so this DECOY of “Allah” has been brought in. But the name “Allah” is not the “number” or the “name” of a man. Allah is a title that Islam uses to describe their false god.

Maria did another podcast show entitled: “Testimony of Carl Sanders & Signs of the Last Days” on April 16th 2009.
Listen to the show that Daniel Merrick & Maria Merola did on Hebrew Nation Radio on April 21st 2011 entitled: “Interview with Carl Sanders, the RFID Chip & the Mark of Beast.”
Also listen to another interview that Daniel Merrick & Maria Merola did on Hebrew Nation Radio on June 7th 2011 entitled: “Carl Sanders, & Four Levels of the Mark of Beast.” In this episode, Maria & Daniel interviewed Carl Sanders once again from Trumpet Ministries.
Brother Carl Sanders is an Electronics Engineer, Inventor, and author. He has also been a consultant to various Government organizations. During his career he helped develop a Microchip that is smaller than a grain of rice, and can be implanted beneath the skin for surveillance purposes.
This device is suitable for the marking of every living person with a unique personal identifier. When scanned, the Microchip will transmit a data stream containing every piece of vital information that can be recorded about a person.
Brother Sanders believes this (or one similar) to be the Mark of the Beast spoken of in the Book of Revelation. Listen to this podcast at this link:
On February 2nd 2012, Daniel Merrick & Maria Merola did a live show on Hebrew Nation Radio entitled: “The Mark of YaHuWaH or the Mark of the Beast?”
