48. God's Purpose for the "Mark of the Beast"

[Please understand that in the following account, I am fully capable of being wrong in my understanding of present events. If there is a later development even more egregious than this present awfulness, I don’t want any boastfulness on my part to hinder the good word of Christ that I share. Nonetheless, the more I study what people have embraced and why, the worse it becomes. More than that, the things I hope to share in this letter apply regardless of any outward appearance that the “mark” might take. And so I will continue because, at the very least, we must consider these things and not walk blindly into death.]

We are well inside the final portion of the age of human folly, that time-period typically called “The Great Tribulation.” The significant moment marking the transition into the final reign of the beast took place in March of 2020, just prior to the Passover season, when almost every church in almost every country on earth closed its doors on the same day. This event was the most powerful statement made by the evil one inside human history, that he has power over the Church of Christ in the earth, to shut her down. At the same time, this monumental event was God “shouting at the top of His lungs,” one might say, to His church to wake up, that the age of in-part Christianity has closed and that the short time of the evil one has begun.

For the most part, Christians were not listening and participated without resistance in the almost total shutdown of the Church, considering it to be an almost “normal” happenstance.

Now, in October of 2021, the western world has entered a time of darkness beyond anything experienced by humans throughout history. A self-induced mass hysteria has taken possession of the minds of almost all people in the west, including almost all Christians. The eastern world is not separate from this hysteria, but has responded with a typical oriental despotic control. The southern world, on the other hand, continues to be torn apart by the ongoing conflict between east and west.

I have no gift or ability to predict the future, and I have long since found it to be a foolish waste of time to attempt to make layouts of the unfolding of the events of this end of the age from cryptic and poorly understood phrases in the Bible and especially in John’s vision. Nonetheless, we are watching many of these things unfold before our eyes.

My gift is the ability to set aside all the claims of theologians throughout the centuries and to look straight on at what God actually says in the gospel. With that gift, I then take the power of the gospel verses as far as God gives me into the knowledge of God as He shows Himself by Word and by Spirit.

No one who does not know the Father arising inside of them and who does not know His Word as He speaks it and who is not found inside of the revelation of Jesus Christ can understand what is really happening upon the earth right now.

And what is really happening is NOT what appears, not quite yet.

But first, let’s consider what does appear in our world as we enter the final months of the year of our Lord, 2021, for it is inside of appearance that the great issues are made visible.

The majority of Christians in the western world have now taken the mark of the beast, giving their bodies in worship to the criminals masquerading as government officials and to the drug pushers masquerading as “pharmaceutical” executives.

They have taken the mark of the beast willingly and without thought; many have become proponents of the worship of the beast in their extraordinary ignorance.

How did this happen? Or to put it more to the purpose of this letter – Why did it happen?

I read recently on a news website I visit occasionally, an article presenting the idea that the genetic engineering serum, which they are falsely calling a “vaccine,” could be the “mark of the beast.” A Christian pastor responded in a comment. This brother agreed that the “vaccine” was wrong, But then, he presented a portion of Scripture from Revelation 13, and he stated that “these things have not yet happened,” and because these things have not yet happened, then this cannot be “the mark of the beast.” The brother was sincere.

Immediately, my mind was running over the arguments as to how every single thing in the Scripture he presented is standing in full completion upon the earth right now, the beast, all modern political government, the head that was wounded unto death and now lives, that is the false nation and government of Israel, the false prophet of scientism in full expression, demonstrating its convincing power in the eyes of everyone, the image of the beast controlling the thinking of all, that is the television news – all of it is fulfilled, nothing remains missing.

But I also understand that arguing this against that convinces no one. And so I pondered this great dilemma in the presence of the Lord, and suddenly I understood.

We are looking at one of the greatest and most destructive heresies of Nicene Christianity – the belief that the world is not evil.

Up until the moment that Constantine declared “Christianity” to be the religion of the Roman empire, every Christian alive would have asserted that the world is evil, that there is no good thing inside the hierarchy of relationships that controls everyone with demonic mutterings and violence. But suddenly, the world itself had become “Christian.”

And so Augustine argued that the city of God was the Catholic Church based in the city of Rome, that this hierarchy of relationships controlling everyone, though it remained violent, still, it was now the “kingdom of God.” And thus the violence was directed towards keeping everyone inside of the Catholic “church,” and this was the “salvation of God.”

What exactly was this Christian pastor expecting to see enter into the experience of all on this earth before he would say, “Okay, all of Revelation 13 is now fulfilled and we are facing the mark of the beast?”

Very simple – an embodiment and personification of “EVIL.” An evil so great by outward appearance that even the most dim-witted among us can know that this is “not-good.”

Just as they are looking for a super-Christ, refusing to see Jesus as He is, so they are looking for a super-Evil, refusing to see evil as it is.

This gets very personal, however. You see, every human on earth thinks in their story of self, “I am right and, by extension, I am good. I understand my world and my reality.” And every human has some vital connection with the world on a daily basis.

“I have a relationship with the world. Since I am RIGHT, my relationship with the world must be right. And since my relationship with the world is RIGHT, the world itself must be okay. Sure, bad things happen, but overall, the world is telling me the truth.”

This realization, that most of my fellow Christians believe that the world is not evil, caused me to clarify and pinpoint what evil really is in my present writing.

Here are several quotes from Symmorphy VI: Mankind.

The source of all sinful actions is an emptiness inside the human in the place designed to be filled with the knowledge of God. There cannot be a vacuum, and so the person fills that empty space with inventions accompanied by whispering demons. Every aspect of every human is of God and coming out from Jesus, but the human takes that good thing God made and turns it in the direction that best satisfies their empty and false soul.

A sinful action can be defined as an action meant to hurt or to steal from another for self-gain. This is actually the definition of the law – do not steal what belongs to another, including what belongs to God.

The point is this, that there is no evil creator or creation, but all things come out from God through the good-speaking of Jesus. Therefore, what is false is nothing other than taking what is first of God and using it to fill an unnecessary void. You see, if a human were evil by nature, then there can be no judgment, for they are doing only what they are made to do. Taking what is coming out from Jesus directly and in this present moment and using it for false and wicked purposes is a far greater sin than being evil by nature.

When Christ Jesus fills our hearts as the knowledge of sharing life with God our Father, then the “need” to fill an empty hole vanishes, and we walk in purity and truth, with every part of our humanity an expression of what God is like.

This is what James said, that a Christian who acts contrary to God is one who has forgotten what he is. Acting contrary to God, then, is a deliberate act of the present moment, an action that comes out from the twisted story of self that always fills the place in the human meant for the knowledge of God through the act of acknowledgment.

The word “nature” means that it’s made that way. If there was such a thing as an “evil nature,” then such a thing must be coming from the same sustaining power of Word that is Jesus. And if something is evil through the becoming of Jesus, then how can there be any judgment, for it is simply doing what it was made to do? Evil, then, is first a momentary human action of twisting what is good.

The most important thing to understand about evil is that it is humdrum and every day, the ongoing action of most everyone. Evil is – been there, done that. Just as people are looking for a super-Christ rather than an ordinary man, so people are looking for a super-Evil rather than the ordinary daily practice of most everyone. Both the super-Christ and the super-Antichrist are how humans excuse their refusal to acknowledge Jesus sustaining all.

Yet there is a further evil, and that is the “world.” The world is all the interrelationships among humans and angels that is absent of the acknowledgment of God. ALL human organizations in this world, then, are evil in totality.

Then, here are some quotes from Chapter 49, “Proposal – Precedence – Proof.”

God’s proposal, His Thesis set forth from the beginning, is spoken by Jesus in John 17, just before Gethsemane. We have studied those words in Symmorphy III: Kingdom, the prayer that birthed the Kingdom, the words of Jesus through which the New Creation came into existence.

In that study we saw how many times Jesus spoke of the world, and we likened the world to the womb of a mother when it is time for the baby to GO. “GET OUT OF HERE; you do not belong here any longer, you belong in another world.”

This gives us a more specific and accurate definition of the Biblical word, “world,” in its negative meaning. The world is any relationship between two humans that does not include acknowledging God as part of that ongoing relationship.

Now we can also better define “evil.” Evil has two dimensions, smaller evil and bigger evil. Smaller evil is any human not including God as sharing life with me. And bigger evil is any two humans relating together not including God as sharing life with us.

Evil is nothing else. And these two things are very, very evil and the cause of all pain and loss, all cruelty and debauchery.

God just wants to be part of our lives, a declaration found shouted from one end of Scripture to the other, that is, for those who have ears to hear the Father speaking.

~~~

Just as Christ is ordinary and every day, so evil, that is, not-Christ, is ordinary and every day.

Apart from the Atonement of Christ by which we were put to death and through which we entered into the Lord Jesus, now our only life, you and I have been nothing but evil, total and complete. Every part of our lives has been evil, that is, we have not acknowledged the Father as sharing our lives with us.

You see, the more I acknowledge Father sharing my life with me, the more I see just how anti-Christ my former way of thinking really was. My former way of thinking is becoming to me now, very, very EVIL! Yet my former way of thinking is how most of my Christian brethren continue to think. Sometimes I cry out in horror and pain when I remember how evil it is.

I know that just as I knew and followed Jesus, slowly through my murkiness, so also do they. Yet I have also discovered, that though some do, so also some don’t. And I, of course, am not smart enough to tell the difference, though I also know that Jesus carries all, regardless.

Our fellow believers in Jesus carry in their imagination an image of a super Antichrist, an individual person who is evil personified, taking over control of the whole earth as a one-man dictator. And they imagine that, if this ridiculous and non-Biblical individual does not take total control of the entire earth, then nothing in our world can be so evil as to be “the mark of the beast.”

Then, added to that, most of the Christians of my own experience, in the Baptist and Pentecostal realms, also believe in the “rapture.” Therefore their thinking must follow a strict pathway. “I am still here, therefore, this CANNOT be the ‘mark of the beast.’”

“My world is NOT evil, therefore the ‘mark of the beast’ cannot be the ‘mark of the beast,’ no matter how much it might appear to be.”

Already, people here in the United States, the ‘land of the free and the home of the brave,’ are being cut off from buying and selling BECAUSE they refuse to take the jab. Reports are coming from many sources that the graphene in the serum, spreading throughout the body, contains in it a Bluetooth number specific to that person, a number that can be picked up by any cell phone as you pass by.

Please understand that all these reports I “study” only, and I require convincing proof before I will accept the probability of anything. In that way of analyzing everything, I am convinced of the probability that over 200,000 people have already been murdered by the jab in the United States alone and that death is spreading inside the bodies of most who did not die right away. This will be a prolonged death, again, in fulfillment of Scripture.

And the first departed and poured out his bowl into the earth; and a nasty and painful sore came upon the men and women having the stamp of the beast and those worshiping its image (Revelation 16:2).

“Worshipping the image of the beast,” in its larger context, is believing that the world is telling you the truth, and by so doing, giving your body as a willing sacrifice to the world.

Let me be blunt. It is probable (and any discussion of prophetic word is probability only) that all who have received the jab have, in fact, offered their bodies as a human sacrifice to Satan in the closing out of this age. And Christians who have done so have given to this world the very temple and dwelling place of God.

There is, then, only one question that must be answered, and the answer to this question is the life or destruction of millions of believers in Jesus.

The question is – Why did God let this happen? Or we could rephrase the question into the title of this article. – What is God’s purpose for the ‘mark of the beast?’

NEVER do we allow any of the cryptic statements in John’s vision to rule over the gospel. Those who do so are abusing the word of God.

Here is the gospel.

And when His disciples James and John saw this, they said, “Lord, do You want us to command fire to come down from heaven and consume them, just as Elijah did?” But He turned and rebuked them, and said, “You do not know what manner of spirit you are of. For the Son of Man did not come to destroy men’s lives but to save them” (Luke 9:54-56).

Here you are. You are a believer in Jesus and have trusted in Him your whole life. You don’t have time for “conspiracy theories,” and so when the government said that there is a “pandemic” going on and that everyone needs a vaccine, you believed them. In doing so, in getting your “good medicine,” you trusted in Jesus, as you always have.

Then you begin to hear rumors about the “mark of the beast.” You refuse to allow any such nonsense into your mind. You trust in Jesus, end of story. Then, at some point along the way, enough evidence hits you that you have to, at least consider – Was that really the mark of the beast? – NO!!! You assure yourself.

And so you continue to deny it until that moment when you no longer can.

And in that moment, the false interpretation of a poorly translated verse in John’s vision hits you with all overwhelming force. – 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 ascendeth 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 (Revelation 14:9-11).

What happens next? How do you now think?

You have two options only.

Option #1: “My pastor and my theology may have lied to me about this world, but they told me the truth about my future. I am now forever cursed.”

Option #2: “My pastor and my theology lied to me about this world, did they also lie to me about the salvation of God?”

Those who choose Option #1 will then invite back into their lives all the pet demons they have entertained, who will affirm with words and sensations that they are LOST, LOST, LOST, damned forever, twisted, perverse, and awful beyond all measure.

And so their minds will enter into hades, and will remain there until some believer in Jesus busts through the gates of their hades and draws them out.

Those who go with Option #2, however, will face two more choices. Two only.

First Option for the #2’s: “My pastor and my theology lied to me about this world, yeah? Well, they lied to be about “God” as well. Screw all of it. I will do whatever I want to do until I am dead.”

Second Option for the #2’s: “Jesus, Oh Jesus, please help me. Please, if it be possible, save even me.”

I can assure you that, for some at least, this Second Option will be deep, it will be overwhelming, and it will not stop until it has the only answer it will accept.

Twenty-three years ago, in a cold and lonely February of 1998, God spoke a quiet word into my consciousness, the quietest I have ever heard Him speak. God whispered to me, “Give My people hope.”

I paid no attention at the time, for I imagined that I had no hope to give.

Yet I do have a quiet and simple hope now. I hope that some of those who go for that last option, even just a few, will make their way to my website, and there, for the first time in their Christian lives, be willing to consider that, since everything they ever thought the “gospel” was has been so very wrong, maybe, just maybe, God was saying something different all along.

And so they will find that a very different gospel of our Salvation than they ever heard has filled their Bibles from the first page to the last, even though they could not see it before.

You see, it really doesn’t matter what the “mark of the beast” actually is in its appearance in our world. God’s purpose for it remains the same.

And as Jesus said, God’s purpose is NOT to destroy your life, but to save you. The evil thinking of Nicene theology cannot save anyone. Yet God can’t get through into people’s minds, no matter how clear His Word is.

And so I see the mark of the beast as God’s instrument of last resort, His Elijah wake-up call. “If Jesus shows us God, then depart from a ‘God’ who “knows evil,’ a ‘God’ you see through the image of the serpent.”

This is my motivation for both my websites and my books. – If God chooses to use them for the sake of His people in their hour of darkest need, then He can.

Yet understand this, if I am right, if this is God’s purpose for the mark of the beast, then all the argument in deeper truth circles, that the “mark” is an “inward spiritual nature” is just more Nicene nonsense, rooted in the mindless belief that man exists as something separate from the good-speaking of Jesus.

If this is God’s purpose, then God wants the mark of the beast to be outward and apparent, yet deceitful, for the moment the one who has taken the jab wakes up to what they have done.

For nearly thirty years, now, I have been convinced that the mark of the beast will be found at the juncture of vaccination, the debit card, and the cell phone. I am astonished, but not surprised, now in the year of our Lord 2021, to find that same combination taking place.

You see, the jab is not a one-time deal, but rather, they are requiring it to be taken again, once a year. For those who don’t die sooner (murdered), the connections of their body to the Internet through their cell phones will develop bit by bit until that moment when all buying and selling comes out from their own body.

Except it isn’t their body, for the moment they accepted genetic engineering, according to U.S., British, and International law, their bodies became the property of the drug pushers, that which John, in his vision, called “sorcery.” And as property, no “human rights” apply to them.

This intention can and has been traced out, with evidence (I’m thinking of James Corbett of The Corbett Report), step by step, from the mid-1990’s until now. This was the purpose of “Google” before anyone ever heard of it. And, of course, the present “vaccine” was fully developed and waiting about two years before anyone heard anything about a “covid pandemic.”

These things have always been clear and open to those who know that the world is lying to them. And the terrible thing is, those who hold tightly to the delusion that “the world is telling me the truth,” also know the evidence, no matter how they blind themselves to it.

That other is present according to the energeia of Satan inside of every fake power and signs and wonders and inside of every deceit of injustice unto those perishing, for they have not welcomed the love of the truth in exchange for the purpose of their being saved. And through this, God will permit them a wandering energia, into their believing what is false so that all should be judged who have not believed the truth but have been well-pleased with injustice (2 Thessalonians 2:9-11).

All who believe that the world is telling them the truth are, in fact, “well-pleased with injustice.” Indeed, they are instigators of that injustice, for they run with wicked men to shed innocent blood, no matter how much they imagine themselves to be “good Christians.”

Vaccinations and all pharmaceutical drugs, that is, poisonous man-made chemicals, are FAKE POWER. They do not heal; they serve only to eliminate or mask over the symptoms, symptoms that are the body’s cry for help. The cell phone connected to the Internet, the debit card, these are marvelous signs and wonders. We might imagine them to be “normal,” but no Christian prior to the twentieth century would agree.

And that image that we stare at daily, an image that tells us how to think, is something that would strike HORROR into the hearts of every prior believer, no matter how much we might call it “television news.”

Yet, according to Jesus, none of this is for destruction, all of it is to save men’s lives, all of it is to open the prison doors that people keep tightly closed around themselves, to set creation free.

And I have discovered something about “setting creation free,” something that will appear in the final chapter of this text. It’s not really “setting creation free,” it’s setting God free to be what He has always wanted to be inside of His creation.

For that to happen, Paul’s gospel has to penetrate the minds and hearts of all who belong to Jesus. And with Paul’s gospel entering, so also the serpent’s gospel must be wiped away.

And Paul’s gospel is the Lord Jesus Christ, all our Salvation now, we inside of Him and He inside of us, now our very and only life. Even the man who took the mark of the beast is dead and gone, and Christ alone is our life.

Yet please understand this. Your own mind is your enemy, and if you have taken the jab, then don’t just assume that you are “okay,” for you are well able to deceive yourself in your pretending. You need help. You need sons of God to stand in the gap for you. You need the salvation of God.

And the first step for you towards that salvation is the honest admission, “I do not understand.”

Always, God’s purpose is honesty, to get the human to step out from all the imaginary hiding and to stand without pretense or subterfuge in the light of His presence, a place they have actually never left.

You have always stood, naked and alone, inside the presence of God, inside the presence of the Lamb and all of His holy angels. Nothing you have ever done, said, or even thought has been unseen by others all around you. All your hiding places are constructed only by your own imagination; none of them have ever been real. Those watching you, and especially the Father before whose Face you have never left, have always wondered why you think that lying benefits you.

“I’m right. I love people. I – I – I.” Offering excuses, justifying yourself, making up stuff to tell others. All of it has been one big waste of time, for in the presence and face of God you have always been giving a false account, one that has been obviously false to all.

In the end, the meaning and essence of salvation is God’s effort to get you to stop lying to yourself, for your fakery fools no one else. Stop lying, that is, close your mouth, stop excusing yourself – “I was right in what I did.” – Be guilty before God so that you might find your life in Jesus alone.

If you have taken the mark of the beast, what purpose is there in any more lying to yourself? It’s impossible for you to be more wrong. In every conceivable way, you are wrong.

Salvation is to be saved from the prison house of our own imaginary lies.

God requires all lying to cease, and He will do everything necessary to make it happen.

This is His purpose for the “mark of the beast.”
