Two Beasts, Image, and Mark Explained

Understanding a life saving warning.

7 Headed Leopard/Bear/Lion Beast- First Beast-

The Watchtower is correct in identifying this Beast
as Government, multiple heads as multiple conglomerate
World Powers who control land, murder, and pollute the earth.
They are mastered by king Satan and his demon princes.

Lamb/Dragon Beast- Second Beast-

The Watchtower is wrong. This is one entity of THEY.
They are Mega Commerce, The World Bank, AKA Bilderbirg, AKA Illuminati.
THEY control shipping, energy, transport, raw materials, manufacturing,
weapons, media ownership, food, entertainment, pharmaceuticals, etc.
THEY control all mankind, and suppress beneficial information.
THEY are a small group of humans working for common purposes.
THEY appear like a lamb by providing all these things for mankind,
but act as a Dragon by enslaving mankind.
THEY are mastered by their king Satan and his demon princes.

This would define who or what the Lamb/Dragon Beast is.
Because who gives power to the Image?

Isn't it major commerce, big business, the world bank,
those who own the most, control the most, have
access to unlimited funds? In some circles they
are known as the Illuminati, Free Masons, The Skulls,
the Bilderburgs. And, interestingly, many of these
are accused of following Satanic cults.

It is very hard to understand prophesy,
without the aid of the Holy Spirit.

The Image of the Wild Beast (the Lamb/Dragon Beast)-
Definition of Image- an artifact, two dimensional picture,
similar appearance to some objects, usually an object or person,
photograph, screen display, statue. Captured by camera,
mirror, lens, telescope, microscope, human eye.

The Watchtower is wrong.
The Image (two dimensional) is TV, computer, radio,
magazines, newspapers, advertisements, etc.
These portray all things of the Beast (2)-
desire, materialism, escapism, violence, sex, self-gratification,
love of the world, love of money, etc.
Not the image of God- His will, His desires, His purposes.
The Image is subject to the king Satan and his demon princes.

If you think about it, and the Image is TV, music,
entertainment,etc.; people are under compulsion
to watch this talking Image many hours everyday.
People live for it. It exercises a form of control
over all humans. It is a powerful Image.

The "Mark" is like a seed that was planted,
and it grows inside a person.
It develops into selfish desire, craving, materialism,
a love of the world, a love of money.

The "Mark" on the forehead and hand is the clear
and obvious demonstration of materialism.
Seeking possessions, the new- the better- the best,
more and more, bigger, fancier.
For the ego, for the pleasure, for the status.
Well, this means that when someone loves the world,
or is materialistic, it is clear in that you can visibly see
what these people do, what they seek, what they possess,
what they say, and how they act towards these things of Satans world.
It cannot be concealed. Even fully dressed, our hand
and/or forehead is always exposed.

Posts by The Forgiven (Prophesy Talk.com) regarding the "mark".
Those who are marked with the Beast are opposite of those who are marked with the name of God on their foreheads. Same explanation of the mark, although different in characteristics. Those with the name of God are their forehead represent those who's mind is influenced by the Holy Spirit. Those who are marked with the Beast on their forehead are those who's mind is influenced by the Beast. The hand represents the working hand, just as Christ is the working hand of God (Right Hand).

Those who accept the things of the Beast show that their works (hand) and influence (mind) are with what the Beast proposes. Those with the name of God on their forehead show that their devotion is to the things of God.
Why many teach a literal mark is beyond me....God never taught it, so why should we?
By their fruits, you shall know them. Those who submit to the Beast are showing that they choose loyalty to him. Those who submit themselves to Christ will refuse anything the Beast forces them to do.

When reading the Old Testament, the same language is used to identify the child of God, to the children of Satan. Those who live for God, embrace the Laws of God within their minds, and binds them on their right hand. This symbol was used to show that the outside is marked in the inside, with the Laws of God. The same for the children of the devil....by their fruits, you shall know them.

The theory of a micro-chip is too modern, and would have made absolutely no sense to the seven churches of Asia, who first heard the vision. THEY needed help, and encouragement, because of the things they were being forced to do, especially in Ephesus, where Emperor Trajan was forcing everyone to worship him and his image. Those Christians lived in constant friction between them, and the outside world. The other Christian territories suffered Emperor Worship at least once a year, or even several times a year. Thus, identifying a Christian was not difficult to do, EVEN without a literal mark on their hand or forehead. SO if it wasn't hard for them to do then, why should it be hard now? Unless of course Christians are difficult to be viewed as Christians, especially in our day.

Therefore, I understand your question, but an outward mark was not required to accuse anyone of being a Christian in the first century, any less than it's required now. Walk down the streets of our own Country, and you should be able to see who is Goldy, and who is Beastly. Or do we all need "I'M A JESUS PEOPLE" T-Shirt to wear, just to be identified as a Christian? I should certainly hope not. Thus a Christian is identified by their works, and thoughts; the same for sinners of the unsaved. What we wear on the outside means nothing.

Oh, and regarding the "Buying or selling", Emperor Domitian enforced a standard that all who would not submit to him, or his politically claimed divinity, were not able to participate in the Roman market. In fact, Domitian seized all land, and assets, of anyone who belonged to the "sect" Christianity. That is why many believe Domitian is the one who banished John to the island of Patmos. After Domitian's death, Christians were set free, and most who were still alive, were able to retrieve their land, and possessions.

The "Ulcer" occurs at that time when materialism,
possessions, ego, status are exposed as having false value,
worthless, a hindrance, a shame, an excessive load that
means nothing, or less if one dies because of the "Mark".
