“The Beast from the Abyss”
“Abyss” means a deep or seemingly bottomless chasm.
 
“Mark of the Beast”
 
Preaching of this sort causes people to have great fear, and if you’re a Christian, you should have no fear because you will not be here to deal with this.
 
The church will be with Jesus in heaven at this point in our Bible.
 
When Social Security first came out, the government said that the Social Security number would not be a form of identification, but government lies so bad.
 
Now, when you are trying to prove who you are, a Social Security card is a viable form of ID. But a number or barcode in the hand or maybe some of you have seen Elon Musk’s Neuralink, check out this video.
 

 
CBDC or the “central bank digital currency” rolled out its Digital Currency program.
 
Their agenda is to replace paper and coin currency worldwide. The Federal Reserve has made no decision on issuing a central bank digital currency (CBDC) and would only proceed (so they say) with the issuance of a CBDC with an authorizing law.
 
Testifying before the House Financial Services Committee in March 2023, Chair Powell said a central bank digital currency is, “something we would certainly need Congressional approval for.”
 

 
While I don’t believe this is the mark of the beast, this makes the Mark of the Beast not look so intimidating.
 
There is an air of protection that is told would come with us going to a digital currency.
 
People don’t carry cash anymore, rather a card or their phone.
 
But all it takes is deception, and there is a worldwide push to become a paperless society, not just paperless, but to be in line with the world agenda.
 

 
Imagine the fed government knowing everything about you. They would know exactly what you spent your money on. They could control what you spent your money on, if they disagreed with you, they could cut off your money until you surrendered your will/beliefs.
 
If your religion is not their religion or if your political stance is not theirs, they could intimidate you into compliance.
 
Seven is the number of God.
 
The Prominence of Seven
 
The number seven is the most prominent number throughout the whole Bible. The word “seven” appears in the Bible 562 times. The book of the Bible that uses the word “seven” most frequently is Revelation, where it appears 55 times. One cannot read Revelation without being struck by the heavy repetition of seven. There are seven churches, seven lampstands, seven stars, and a seven-fold spirit — and that’s just the first chapter! Later there are seven messages to the churches, seven seals, seven trumpets, seven bowls, seven thunders, seven heads, and seven mountains, among others.
 
The Sabbath was given a name while the other six days have a number. “Shabbat” is the name for the Sabbath and it means “rest”. It is observed from sunset Saturday to sunset Sunday.
 
Let’s see what the Bible says about the mark of the beast.
 
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 causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand or in their foreheads.
 
The mark of the beast involves worship. The worship of man defies the worship of God. And when you don’t worship God, the worship of man/satan is all you have left.
 
The price of worshiping man/satan will cost you your eternal life.
 
Revelation 14:6 And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people,
 
7 Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.
 
8 And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.
 
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 God, 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 ascended up forever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.
 
The name “beast” is enough for me. We are not speaking of a friendly dog or cat. The Bible says “beast”.
 
“after the rapture of the church,” Jesus opens the first seal. Once this happens there is no going backwards. Seven years will be the tribulation period. After the 7 seals, you have the 14 additional judgments to deal with.
 
Things have a way of going from bad to worse. The beast we speak of today is described as Revelation 13 Kjv.
 
“And I stood upon the sand of the sea and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy. And 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.”
 
The Mark of this beast will be a mark of identification that is blasphemous. Any man taking this mark seals their eternal soul to hell. Revelation 14:9-11 states:
 
“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, The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, 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: And the smoke of their torment ascended up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.”
 
This generation has a mark upon them, they will take the mark of the beast. They have no problem with the mark they bear now. “666” means In Hebraic thought:
 
Six is the number of man (Adam was created on the sixth day)
To establish is the significance of repeating something three times. (Isa 6:3) the Angel says of God holy holy holy. So, 666 is the number of man
Man has the breath of God in him, we bear His image, and Satan wants nothing more than to destroy that image. Thus, the number assigned by God 666
There is a much deeper detailed explanation of the number 666, but for time’s sake, I have given you a small explanation.
 
In June, there will be worldwide gay pride celebrations. I will not even put pictures on these TVs to show you their mark, and the supporters are endless. They are marked by their brand. This past week, Target received such backlash from its customers from their new transgender clothing line from adults to children was unfolded; they removed some of it.
 
Branded with a hot iron in their minds, the word of God still says. 1st Timothy 4:2.
 
1 Corinthians 6:9-11 Living Bible
9-10 Don’t you know that those doing such things have no share in the Kingdom of God? Don’t fool yourselves. Those who live immoral lives, who are idol worshippers, adulterers, or homosexuals will have no share in His Kingdom. Neither will thieves or greedy people, drunkards, slanderers or robbers.
11 There was a time when some of you were just like that, but now your sins are washed away, and you are set apart for God; and He has accepted you because of what the Lord Jesus Christ and the Spirit of our God have done for you.
 
This world without Jesus, a world without the Church
Galatians 6:17: From now on, please don’t argue with me about these things, for I carry on my body the scars of the whippings and wounds from Jesus’ enemies that mark me as His slave.
Some have no respect for the man or woman of God. Every man must carry his own cross.
There is not a lot of time left; the hearts of mankind are so hardened against God. If conviction doesn’t touch the hearts of man, there will be a mighty harvest lost.
Elon Musk proposes every person receives what is called Neuralink, a device placed in the brain that allows you to be connected to the internet.
If you do not make the rapture, the Mark will be imposed upon every person on the earth.
While the earth is reaping the wrath of God, the word of God says in Revelations 21:4, “And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain, for the former things are passed away.”
There will be a day when the heartache of this world will be no more. God will wipe away our tears.
