The Mark of The Beast — Part 17
2Co 11:1-2 Would to God ye could bear with me a little in my folly: and indeed bear with me. For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ.
Paul pleads with these converts at Corinth, that they would listen to what he has to teach them. He claims to have “espoused them” to Christ, and wants them to be “chaste virgins” when Christ returns.
Our Lord’s assembly of believers is referred to as a Virgin Bride awaiting her Espoused Groom to come take her to wife.
2Co 11:3 But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.
And Paul references what happened in The Garden of Eden in order to teach a very important point, that Satan is able to deceive God’s People.
The word “beguiled” is from the Greek “ex-ap-at-ah’-o” which means “to seduce wholly.” And that is the only thing it can mean, and is in the sexual sense of the word “seduce” in English. Don’t allow your minds to be corrupted from the simplicity that is in God’s Word. It’s not that hard to understand.
Gen 3:6-7 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat. And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.
So Eve “ate that fruit” and so did Adam “eat it.” Then suddenly they realized that they were bare butt naked! So maybe they had been blind in a sense, because they had been innocent and naive until they obeyed The Serpent. But now THEY WERE ASHAMED!
Antichrists draw pictures of Adam and Eve eating an apple. But there is no apple mentioned in The Garden. Obviously instead they were very embarrassed, because they made coverings to hide their genitals, no doubt the place where they “had eaten that apple.”
Gen 3:8 And they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God amongst the trees of the garden.
Adam and Eve hid from The Lord.
Gen 3:9-12 And the LORD God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou? And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself. And he said, Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat? And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat.
Yes, Adam had “eaten it” and then blamed his wife.
Gen 3:13 And the LORD God said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat.
Eve blamed The Serpent.
Gen 3:14 And the LORD God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life:
The Lord told The Serpent that he would be lower than a snake’s belly from that day forward, crawling in the dust of the earth.
Gen 3:15 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.
Here is The Lord’s Prophesy: there will be conflict between The Children of The Devil and The Children of The Woman (by Adam); Adam’s descendant would bruise or crush The Serpent’s Head, and The Serpent would bruise or crush the heel of Adam’s descendant.
The Children of The Devil conspired together and stirred up a mob of people to demand the crucifixion of Jesus which involved the driving of nails through His heels and His hands. Therefore the second part of the prophesy has already come to pass.
Joh 8:39-44 They answered and said unto him, Abraham is our father. Jesus saith unto them, If ye were Abraham’s children, ye would do the works of Abraham. But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I have heard of God: this did not Abraham. Ye do the deeds of your father. Then said they to him, We be not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God. Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me. Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word. Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
Jesus called out those Children of The Devil right to their faces and identified them as the descendants of That Old Serpent, descendants of Cain, the first murderer and the Son of Satan. So we see how The Lord’s Prophesy that the offspring of Satan through Eve would “bruise” the heels of Adam’s descendant through Eve.
Whosoever has eyes to see and ears to hear, let him hear.
The Mark of The Beast — Part 18
Gen 3:16 Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.
The word “sorrow” is from the Hebrew “eh’-tseb” which means “an earthen vessel; usually (painful) toil; also a pang (whether of body or mind).” So this word refers to birth pangs experienced by a woman during labor of childbirth.
Note that The Lord said her labor would be multiplied, that is, doubled. What labor? Eve was already pregnant, but her pregnancy would be doubled.
Gen 4:1-2 And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the LORD. And she again bare his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.
So Eve bare Cain. The word “again” is from “yaw-saf’” which means “to add or augment (often adverbially to continue to do a thing).” What thing did Eve continue to do? She continued in labor and bare Abel. She bare twins, thus her labor was indeed doubled as The Lord had said.
There is no sense of time in these verses, just a list of facts each beginning with “and.” So the form is “and this, and that, and another, and so on.”
Gen 4:3-4 And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the LORD. And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And the LORD had respect unto Abel and to his offering:
Both Cain and Abel reached the age of accountability and both brought an offering to The Lord.
Gen 4:5-7 But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell. And the LORD said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen? If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him.
Note that the phrase, “sin lieth at the door,” is better translated to “a sin offering lieth at the door.” And this makes sense, because The Lord said, “if you do not do well, then…” So the sin offering should have given Cain hope to be able to improve and learn to please The Lord.
Gen 4:8 And Cain talked with Abel his brother: and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him.
Cain murdered his brother Abel in cold blood. Recall the second “beast” of Revelation. The word “beast” is from the Greek “thay-ree’-on” which means “a dangerous animal.” Cain, the son of Satan, certainly fit that description back In The Beginning.
Gen 4:9-13 And the LORD said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: Am I my brother’s keeper? And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother’s blood crieth unto me from the ground. And now art thou cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receive thy brother’s blood from thy hand; When thou tillest the ground, it shall not henceforth yield unto thee her strength; a fugitive and a vagabond shalt thou be in the earth. And Cain said unto the LORD, My punishment is greater than I can bear.
Cain complained about his punishment, and showed no remorse for having murdered his brother.
Gen 4:14-15 Behold, thou hast driven me out this day from the face of the earth; and from thy face shall I be hid; and I shall be a fugitive and a vagabond in the earth; and it shall come to pass, that every one that findeth me shall slay me. And the LORD said unto him, Therefore whosoever slayeth Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold. And the LORD set a mark upon Cain, lest any finding him should kill him.
THIS IS THE MARK: “And The Lord set a mark upon Cain.”
The word “mark” is from the Hebrew “oth” which means “a signal (literally or figuratively), as a flag, beacon, monument, omen, prodigy, evidence, etc.” So this “mark” is a BEACON, an OMEN to warn everyone in this world to stay away from Cain and his descendants. And we know why The Lord did this. Because Cain was the begotten son of That Old Serpent, Satan, The Devil!
And this “mark” is still present in this world today upon the descendants of Cain, the first murderer, the Son of Satan. Do not confuse these who are called Kenites (sons of Cain) in the Scriptures with the true descendants of Judah. The presence of this mark is perceived by their false teaching, their murderous mindset, and their preparations in this world for the appearance of That Old Serpent, Satan, The Devil.
Gen 5:1 This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made he him;
This is the lineage of Adam.
Gen 5:2-10 Male and female created he them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created. And Adam lived an hundred and thirty years, and begat a son in his own likeness, after his image; and called his name Seth: And the days of Adam after he had begotten Seth were eight hundred years: and he begat sons and daughters: And all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years: and he died. And Seth lived an hundred and five years, and begat Enos: And Seth lived after he begat Enos eight hundred and seven years, and begat sons and daughters: And all the days of Seth were nine hundred and twelve years: and he died. And Enos lived ninety years, and begat Cainan: And Enos lived after he begat Cainan eight hundred and fifteen years, and begat sons and daughters:
Note that Cain is not in Adam’s genealogy. That is because Cain was not Adam’s son.
Unless we understand The Beginning, it is very difficult to understand The Ending of The Book.
Rev 2:8-11 And unto the angel of the church in Smyrna write; These things saith the first and the last, which was dead, and is alive; I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan. Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life. He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death.
The type of “church”, “The Called-Out Ones”, symbolized by this church in Smyrna are true Christians who recognize “the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.” In other words, these still falsely pretend to be of The Tribe of Judah in these Last Days, just as they did in the days when Jesus walked this earth when they conspired to have Him crucified. But they are descendants of That Wicked One.
Please, my friends, beware of the Kenites, and never ever allow yourself to be branded for ownership by That Old Serpent, Satan, The Devil, their forefather. The Kenites have command and control of most nations on earth already. And they are trying to complete their multi generational mission to prepare this world for the arrival of The Antichrist.
I hope that with this knowledge you can understand that what is going on in this world today is in accordance with our Lord’s Prophesies about the end of this Earth Age, and not by some random chaos in the universe. The Lord gave us The Seven Seals to inform us of the conditions and events that would lead up to the formation of The One World Government of Satan, what we call today, The New World Order. And the Kenites, the descendants of Cain are the architects of the Last Government of this flesh world. There is a negative side of Election which accomplishes those hurtful but very necessary negative tasks in this world to bring about the end.
