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 is not a one time thing. The beast system runs the world and we're all in it.
Revelation 14:1 And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father's name written in their foreheads.
144,000 is 12 x 12 x 1000, it is a symbol of perfect government. The 144,000 are governed by the Father, they have disguarded the beasts economy, they don't bend to the beasts way of business.
It is shocking to think that it is either one or the other, it's either the beast or the Father.
Jesus Christ makes all things new(virgin), the 144,000 are virgins, this is a spiritual concept.
Revelation 14:4 These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb.
In order to defeat the mark of the beast you "follow the Lamb withersoever he goeth".
Revelation 15:2 And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name, stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God.
The sea of glass mingled with fire is peace, when you've gotten the victory over the mark, you become new, a virgin, and the peace of God rules you.
That's got not a lot to do with what I said. Jihad does not mean war, it just means struggle, thats all.
I know utterly that Jesus is my friend and saviour, I opened a door to let him in that no man can ever shut. All I said was that Muslims believe that Jesus lived and was a great prophet, but not the son of God.
The thing about Islam that most of the West don't understand is they don't have any sort of central repository of doctrine, dogma and laws that Christianity does, all they have is the koran and its interpretation by mullahs and scholars.
If one of them shouts "death to infidels" we tend to interpret that as being the belief of all Muslims when its only the belief of one particular Mullah and his followers.
I appreciate talking about this. I love all Muslims. I dislike & do not trust Islam. I know Muslims believe & that Islam teaches that Jesus existed and was a prophet. There are many that believe in the Sharia & Hadith’s. Just as there are “Jews” that follow the Talmud. I prefer the term Hebrews. I have a hard time understanding how all of the Israelites choose one of the 12 tribes to be known by.
My religion has teaching from 40 different prophets that wrote 66 books. All of them are on the same page. The other religions have one prophet-author.
The deeper I go, I see a correlation between Talmudic, Islamic & Freemason/Jesuit teachings.
I do not mean to insult, it is just my take.
