The New World Order

We are hearing more and more about the "New World Order" or the "global community." President George Bush popularized the term when he said in a speech before the U.S. Congress during the Gulf War, "We stand today at a unique and extraordinary moment. ⦠Out of these troubled times a New World Order can emerge. ⦠Today that New World Order is struggling to be born."[56]



The Jerusalem Peace Accord



It appears that this coming world leader will rise to power on a wave of global euphoria as he arrives on the scene to temporarily save the world from its desperate economic, military and political woes. Like Satan himself, who frequently appears as an angel of light, this man will deceive most of the world into thinking that he is a great man of peace, a hero. The prophet Daniel wrote of the Antichrist, "By peace he shall destroy many," and "he shall come in peaceably and obtain the kingdom by flatteries" (Daniel 8:25; 11:21).



The Bible indicates that an ingenious seven-year peace agreement or "covenant" will be pivotal to his claim to world leadership. This pact will temporarily resolve the Middle East crisis, working out a compromise between the Jews and the Arabs regarding Jerusalem and its holy sites. A focal point will be Mount Moriah, in Jerusalem, sacred to Jews (their temple stood there before being destroyed by the Romans in 70 A.D.), and sacred to Muslims (their holiest shrine in the city, the Dome of the Rock, stands there today). Scripture indicates the Antichristâs covenant will enable the Jews to rebuild their temple, where they will revive their ancient rituals of animal sacrifice (see Daniel 8:The New World Order

23-25; 9:27; 2 Thessalonians 2:1-4).







Enter Russia



The prophet Ezekiel calls the Antichrist "Gog, of the land of Magog, the prince of Rosh" (Ezekiel 38:2, NKJV). Scholars agree that the ancient land known as Magog is a powerful country or region of peoples to the north of Israel. "Rosh" is believed to refer to the Russian people. For these reasons a majority of Bible students believe that the Antichrist will rise out of the current chaos in the former Soviet Union.



Scripture points to the leading nations of Europe, indicating that they will be key players in the Antichristâs world government, whose leaders will fully unite behind him. "These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast" (Revelation 17:13).







A Savior Turned Sour



Although most of the world will initially hail the Beast as a political savior, three-and-a-half years after the enactment of the seven-year covenant, he will revoke the peace pact and show his true colors. At this time he will invade Israel and establish Jerusalem as his world capital.



He will also outlaw all religions, except the worship of himself and an image of himself that will somehow be empowered to speak and "cause those who refuse to worship it to be killed" (Revelation 13:14-15). Jesus said that when you see this image, the "abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place [temple] ... then shall be great tribulation such as has not been since the beginning of the world" (Matthew 24:15, 21). It will be a time of ruthless repression and persecution of believers in God by the Beast and his regime. (See also Daniel 7:21,25; 8:23-24; 11:31-35; 12:10; Revelation 13:5-7.)



It is at this time that the Antichrist imposes his infamous "666" one-world credit system.







The "Mark of the Beast"



"He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on [in] their right hand or on [in] their foreheads, that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is 666" (Revelation 13:16-18, NKJV).



THIS PROPHECY is truly remarkable. Think about it: Nearly 2,000 years ago the Apostle John, who prior to meeting Jesus had been a simple fisherman, predicts that a global economic system will one day be instituted in which everyone will be forced to receive a number, without which they will not be able to buy or sell. It is only since the advent of computers and electronic banking that this prophecy could be fulfilled.



There are currently a number of methods commonly used for purchasing items. You can use cash, you can write a check, or you can use a credit card.



Or you can use a debit card. The cashier simply passes your card through a scanning device that is electronically linked to your bank, and the money is immediately taken out of your account and placed in the storeâs account â all in a split second.



Another means of transferring money that is already being used in various countries and is being promoted in many others is the "smart card." These look like an ordinary credit card, but thereâs a big difference: They have a tiny computer chip embedded in their plastic. These electronic marvels not only give you instant access to your bank account, but they can also contain all your passport information, your medical record, driverâs license, photographs, welfare eligibility and all sorts of other data. Over 90 million health smart cards are in use in France, Canada, Germany and Britain today.



We are well on the way to eliminating cash. Advocates of a cashless society have many compelling reasons why. A primary one is that cash is the motherâs milk of drug smugglers, who often deal in cash a suitcase-full at a time. With no cash, the sale of illegal drugs would be greatly hampered. In fact, law enforcement agencies say that to eliminate cash would eliminate most kinds of criminal activity.

The ID Hurdle

Before cash, checks and credit cards can be phased out completely, an absolutely foolproof identification system must be developed and implemented. Retailers must be sure that the person presenting a card for a transaction is actually the owner of that card.



Various fail-safe ID systems have already been developed, like fingerprint and hand readers, retina scanners, etc. The problem with such machines is that they are extremely expensive. For a completely cashless society to work, there would have to be one at every little shop or retail outlet where goods are sold.



While such biometric scanners presently cost thousands of dollars, the microchips encased in plastic smart cards cost only a few cents each.







Watch Out for 666!



So there will be more to accepting the "mark of the Beast" than merely an economic decision. Though disguised as a technological breakthrough for the betterment of society, voluntarily receiving it will primarily be a spiritual decision to accept and worship the demonic Antichrist.



This is why the Bible warns, "If any man worships the beast and his image, and receives his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, the same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God ⦠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). God would not mete out such stiff punishment for simply accepting an identification and credit mark that allows you to buy your groceries!



So when you see a world government arise and its leader demands your allegiance, your loyalty, and even your worship, donât fall for it. Regardless of the economic "incentives" offered or the retribution that threatens those who refuse his mark and number, give your love and worship to the true God, your Creator, who loves and cares for you, and will see you through the days ahead if you put your trust in Him.







The Power Behind the Throne



Remember, the coming world leader will demand the worldâs worship not merely because he has a severe ego problem. â He will be possessed by Satan himself. "The dragon [Devil] gave the beast his power and throne and great authority" (Revelation 13:2, NIV).



Satan has always wanted to be God. This is why he fell in the first place. The prophet Isaiah wrote, "How you are fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! ⦠For you said to yourself, âI will ascend to heaven and rule the angels. I will take the highest throne. ⦠I will climb to the highest heavens and be like the Most High.â But instead, you will be brought down to the pit of hell, down to its lowest depths" (Isaiah 14:12-15, TLB).



This is what Satan is really after when he causes his puppet, the Antichrist, to set up the coming one-world credit system: to force the people of the world to bow down and worship him.

Your Own Personal Microchip Implant



A cheap and workable solution would be to take a chip similar to those used in smart cards and place it under your skin. Once the chip is implanted it could be read by an inexpensive scanner, much like the one that reads bar codes in your local grocery store. You would then become your own smart card â and the very expensive problem of making sure the owner of the card is who he says he is, has been solved!



The technology for just such an implant not only exists, but is being tested in pilot programs around the world. For example, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services says that implantation of the new Microdot Identification Project is already underway in Washington, D.C., and several other test cities. The tiny computer chips being used are no larger than the head of a pin, cost less than 25 cents each and are injected approximately 1/4 inch under the skin, usually in the dead space between the tendons of the middle and index fingers. They are activated by a small hand-held scanner and provide flawless identification of the person in whom it is implanted.[57]



A global cashless society is in the making. Fiber optics, satellites and computer databases have the potential to control the world in a way that boggles the imagination. The governments of Australia, Israel, Singapore and Thailand are pursuing policies to eliminate cash and checks, while many other countries are testing various methods of doing business without currency. For the first time, the hi-tech means of fulfilling the chilling vision the Apostle John received nearly two thousand years ago is here.



The Second Coming



"Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: And then shall appear the sign of the Son of Man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of Man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And He shall send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together His chosen from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other" (Matthew 24:29-31).



HERE JESUS IS telling us that the worldâs darkest period of tribulation and horror will abruptly end with the dawning of the brightest day. Jesus Christ Himself returns to gather His people to be with Him!



The Book of Revelation tells us that just prior to Jesusâ return, God will unleash terrible plagues and judgments upon the forces of the Beast, who will be doing their @@$!edest to wipe out all who refuse to take his mark. The Bible spells out exactly how long this period of "great tribulation" will last: 3� years, or 42 months, or 1,260 days. (See Daniel 7:25; 12:7; Revelation 13:5; 12:6.) So on the day that the coming world leader breaks his peace covenant and sets up his image and demands the worldâs worship, we will know exactly how long it will be till Jesusâ return.

Bye-Bye, Beast and Hello, Heaven!



The world will be shocked by the awesome sights and sounds that will herald Jesusâ Second Coming. When the greatest sign of all is revealed, Jesus Himself coming in the clouds, supernaturally beaming Godâs power and might around the world, those who have rejected Him and worshipped the Beast will suddenly realize how very wrong theyâve been. "Behold, He cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see Him, and they also which pierced Him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of Him" (Revelation 1:7).



But for those of us who know and love the Lord, His return will bring us greater joy and deliverance and freedom than we have ever known! All Godâs children who have died through the ages will be miraculously resurrected in new supernatural bodies, bursting out of their graves and ascending to meet Jesus in the air. Those of us still alive on earth will be instantly transformed with new bodies as well, and weâll soar into the clouds to meet the Lord! Jesus will snatch His people out of the reach of their anti-Christ persecutors and whisk them away to the grandest, most thrilling victory celebration thatâs ever been held â an event known as the Marriage Supper of the Lamb in Heaven! (Revelation 14:14-16; 19:6-9).



Meanwhile, the horrific wrath of God will be poured out upon the Beastâs forces, a time so terrible that the Bible says, "In those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them" (Revelation 9:6).



The superhuman hosts of Heaven will then return to earth, led by Jesus, to defeat and destroy the Beast and his wicked one-world empire in the dreaded battle known as Armageddon. The focal point of this great slaughter will be in and around the valley of Megiddo, near Haifa, Israel (the Hebrew word Armageddon literally means the height or mount of Megiddo). It will mark the end of manâs cruel rule on earth, as God Himself, through Jesus Christ, the King of kings and Lord of lords, and His heavenly forces take over the world to rule and reign and run it the way it should have been run all along if man had not disobeyed God and gone his own selfish way! And so begins a period known as the Millennium, a thousand years of peace, plenty and paradise on earth (Revelation 19:11-21; 20:1-4).

Faith to Face the Future

TO SAY THE LEAST, we are living in exciting times and are on the threshold of some cataclysmic changes!



Seeing how prophecies from thousands of years ago accurately predicted world conditions today should encourage your faith in a number of ways. First of all, itâs assuring that God not only has the power to foresee the future, but that He cared enough about us to tell us what is going to happen in advance. As Jesus said, "And now I have told you before it come to pass, that, when it is come to pass, ye might believe" (John 14:29).



Similarly, when you realize that the current state of the world was foretold so specifically, it stands to reason that the biblical prophecies which have not yet been fulfilled will also come to pass. A one-world government with a bestial leader and enforced credit system will arise. Persecution of those who refuse to cooperate with the Antichrist regime will take place. But then God will intervene when Jesus Christ returns to rescue His people, defeat the forces of evil, and establish His everlasting Kingdom of love on earth.



No Need to Fear



As these awesome final events of the Endtime begin to unfold, you donât have to be in fear or confusion, wondering whatâs going on. Although Jesus warned that in the very last days "menâs hearts would be failing them from fear and the expectation of those things which are coming on the earth" (Luke 21:26, NKJV), He also said that those who know and love Him could face these same events positively and victoriously.



He made it clear that as the final signs of the end came to pass, His return to rescue His people was that much closer: "Now when these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption [deliverance] draws near" (Luke 21:28, NKJV). We may not like everything that is happening, and some of it may look pretty bad, but at least we know the happy ending.



If you have faith in God and His Word, and you are living close to Him, then even if thereâs war and turmoil, confusion and chaos on the outside, you can have peace on the inside â in your own heart â through the Prince of Peace, Jesus Christ.

The Best Preparation for the Future



You can prepare for the future â and for all eternity â by receiving Jesus as your Savior. He loves you, and will be with you and will guide you through whatever perilous times you may encounter.



The Bible tells us that "God is Love" (1John 4:8). He is the very Spirit of Love itself, and He loves you and wants you to know and experience and revel in His love. But God is so great, so almighty, He is far beyond our finite human understanding. This is why He sent Jesus, His Son, to the world; to show us His love and to help us understand what He, God Himself, is like.



"For God so loved the world [you and me], that He gave His only begotten Son [Jesus], that whoever believes in Him should not perish [be separated from Godâs love], but have everlasting life" (John 3:16, NKJV). God loves you so much that He gave Jesus to die in your place, to take the punishment that you deserve for your wrongdoing, so that you can have His forgiveness and free gift of eternal heavenly life.



If you donât yet know Jesus, you can receive Him and all the wonderful things He has to offer you right now. Even if you have questions and doubts about Him, He understands, and if you reach out to Him, He will make Himself real in your life. He says, "I stand at the door [of your heart] and knock. If you hear My voice and open the door, I will come into you" (Revelation 3:20).



Will you give Him a chance? Heâs waiting for you. Just sincerely pray the following simple prayer:



Dear Jesus, I ask You to come into my heart. Please forgive me for all the wrongs Iâve done, and give me Your gift of everlasting life. Help me to love You, and help me to share Your love and truth with others. Amen.



Jesus said, "I am come that you might have life, and that you might have it more abundantly" (John 10:10). Receiving Jesus not only guarantees you a brighter future, but a more fulfilled present. May His presence fill and bless your life in every way.

THE SIX~POINTED STAR







THE MARK OF THE BEAST





by



Janet Moser







And he causeth all, both small and great,



Rich and poor, free and bond,



To receive a mark on their right hand,



Or on their forehead.



And that no man might buy or sell,



Save that he had the mark,



Or the name of the beast,



Or the number of his name.*



Revelation 13:16,17













FOREWORD







And I sawâ¦them that had gotten the victory over the beast,



And over his image and over his markâ¦







This study is dedicated to those overcomers during the Great Tribulation period who, because of their love for the Lord and His Word would will lose their lives rather than take the Mark of the Beast. They will be the true heroes of the Tribulation period, whom God will richly reward.



â¦and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which did not do homage to the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their forehead, or upon their hand; and THEY LIVED AND REIGNED WITH CHRIST A THOUSAND YEARS. (Rev. 20:4)*

Many Jews and Christians have been deceived by Jewish Kabbalists who would have them believe that the six-pointed star is a Jewish symbol. Nothing could be further from the truth. It is not a Jewish symbol, but an occult symbol. The six-pointed star is a hexagram - a curse mark - no matter what name it may have: the Star of David, Solomon's Seal, Double Triangle, Shield of David, etc. When the occult practitioner puts a curse on someone, he uses the hexagram!

It is not our goal to condemn the Jewish people, but to condemn the six-pointed star, a curse mark.



Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved. For I bear them record, that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge. (Rev. 10:1,2)



But ye have born the tabernacle of your Moloch, and Chiun (Remphan) your images, the STAR OF YOUR GOD, which ye made to yourselves. (Amos 5:26-27)



It is our hope that,during the seven years of the Great Tribulation, the Lord will use this report to show the Jewish people that the six-pointed star is the mark of the beast; and that, with this understanding, many will reject the mark when it comes.



I will stand upon my watch and set me upon the tower, and will watch to see what he will say unto me, and what I will answer when I am reproved. And the Lord answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because IT WILL SURELY COME, it will not tarry. (Hab. 2:1-3)



PART I



INTRODUCTION







A. RESEARCH PROCESS USED TO DISCOVER THE MARK OF THE BEAST



Based on five principles, our study will demonstrate that the six-pointed star fulfills all requirements of the Mark of the Beast.

1. The study of prophecy covers the past, the present, and the future.

Write the things which thou HAST SEEN, and the things which ARE, and the things which SHALL BE. (Rev. 1:19)

2. Understanding the future depends upon understanding the past.

The thing that HATH BEEN, is that which SHALL BE; and that which IS DONE is that which shall be done: and whereof it may be said, See, this is new? It hath been already of old time, which was before us. (Eccl. 1:9,10)

3. Scripture helps us to understand the past.

All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: THAT THE MAN OF GOD MAY BE PERFECT, THOROUGHLY FURNISHED UNTO ALL GOOD WORKS. (II Tim. 3:16,17)

4. Mythology helps us to understand the end-time deception.

For the time will come when they shall not endure sound doctrine, but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables. (Gr. muthos, or myths) (II Tim. 4:3,4)

5. God gives His people discernment to understand the future.

Call unto me and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things which thou knowest not. (Jer. 33:3)

B. RELEVANCE OF UNDERSTANDING THE MARK OF THE BEAST

1. If we are able to understand Bible prophecy, we must be very close to the time of the end.

â¦the words are closed up and sealed TILL THE TIME OF THE ENDâ¦and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand. (Dan 12:9,10)

2. Those who understand will not be deceived by the mark, but will learn to recognize it and discern those who are promoting it.

Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own steadfastness. (II Pet. 3:17)

3. The mark of the beast affects the eternal destiny of all who are living during the Great Tribulation period of the end times.

And the smoke of their TORMENT ascendeth 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. (Rev. 14:11)

And I sawâ¦the souls of them that were beheadedâ¦which did not do homage to the beast, neither his image, NEITHER HAD RECEIVED HIS MARK upon their forehead, or upon their hand; and they LIVED AND REIGNED with Christ a thousand years. (Rev. 20:4)*



C. RESPONSIBILITY AFTER UNDERSTANDING THE MARK OF THE BEAST



And I saw...them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image and over his mark... (Rev. 15:2)

1. They will obey God's commands (Do not take the mark).

The secret things belong unto the Lord our God: but those things which are revealed belong to us and to our children, that we may DO all the words of this law. (Deut. 29:29)

He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the CHURCHES. (Rev. 2:29)



...Hear, O Israel, the statutes and judgments which I speak in your ears this day, that ye may LEARN THEM, and KEEP, AND DO THEM. (Deut. 5:1)



THOU SHALT NOT MAKE UNTO THEE ANY GRAVEN IMAGE, OR ANY LIKENESS OF ANY THING THAT IS IN THE HEAVEN ABOVE, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. (Ex. 20:4)



...neither shall ye use enchantment... Ye shall not make any CUTTINGS IN YOUR FLESH... nor PRINT ANY MARKS UPON YOU: I am the Lord. (Lev. 19:26, 28)



2. They will help others to understand by revealing the mark.

And they that understand among the people shall instruct many... (Dan. 11:33)



D. RESOURCES USED TO PROVE THE MARK OF THE BEAST



1. Scripture

a. The Interlinear Greek English New Testament: King James Version is used as the basis for Scripture verses.

b. New Versions are cited which reveal Satan's agenda.

2. Occult Sources



E. REASONS WE BELIEVE THE SIX-POINTED STAR IS THE MARK OF THE BEAST



1. Scriptural support

a. The Textus Receptus



The King James Version does not always follow the Textus Receptus. The verses pertaining to the mark of the beast are different in each. Our position is that the Textus Receptus was verbally inspired by God and is the complete revelation of His will for the salvation of men. This was also the belief of the King James translators. See: The Translator's Preface. The Textus Receptus states that the mark will be on or upon the hand or forehead. The George Ricker Berry Interlinear Greek-English New Testament (Textus Receptus) reads thus:

And it causes all, the small and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the free and the bondmen, that it should give them a mark ON their right hand, or ON their foreheads; and that no one should be able to buy or to sell, except he who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of its name. (Rev. 13:16-17)



And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man do homage to the beast and his image, and receive his mark ON his forehead, or UPON 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. (Rev. 14:9-10)



Scrivener's Interlinear Greek-English New Testament (1894), which is Beza's Greek Text, also translates the Greek word "epi" as "on":



(Greek/English Interlinear (tr) NT) Revelation 13:16 kai <2532> {AND} poiei <4160> (5719) {IT CAUSES} pantaV <3956> {ALL,} touV <3588> {THE} mikrouV <3398> {SMALL} kai <2532> {AND} touV <3588> {THE} megalouV <3173> {GREAT,} kai <2532> {AND} touV <3588> {THE} plousiouV <4145> {RICH} kai <2532> {AND} touV <3588> {THE} ptwcouV <4434> {POOR,} kai <2532> {AND} touV <3588> {THE} eleuqerouV <1658> {FREE} kai <2532> {AND} touV <3588> {THE} doulouV <1401> {BONDMEN,} ina <2443> {THAT} dwsh <1325> (5661) {IT SHOULD GIVE} autoiV <846> {THEM} caragma <5480> {A MARK} epi <1909> thV <3588> {ON} ceiroV <5495> {HAND} autwn <846> thV <3588> {THEIR} dexiaV <1188> {RIGHT,} h <2228> {OR} epi <1909> twn <3588> {ON} metwpwn <3359> {FOREHEADS} autwn <846> {THEIR;}



Translation of the Greek preposition "epi" is determined by the syntax of the verse. Although "epi" in some contexts may be translated "in," that is not possible in these verses because the Greek article âtheâ before the noun âhandâ in the prepositional phrase âin the handâ renders âhandâ in the accusative case. According to Perschbacherâs New Analytical Greek Lexicon (#1909), ââepiâ,...with the acc., uponâ. Learn New Testament Greek by John H. Dobson, states âon, on top ofâ under âPrepositions followed by an accusative caseâ (p. 186). In other words, when the preposition âepiâ is present with a noun in the accusative case, its meaning is "upon, on." Had God meant "in the hand" or "in the forehead," He would have used a different Greek word - "en" (Strong's 1722).



In Revelation 20:4, in an identical phrase about the mark on the forehead, the King James Version has correctly translated "epi" as "upon":



"And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark UPON their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years."



There is yet another source which confirms that the Mark is placed ON, not IN, the hand or forehead:



b. Strong's Concordance

The Greek word for "mark" in these verses is charagma. Strong's Concordance defines this word as a mark that is stamped, branded, imprinted or engraved on the individual's forehead or hand, rather than implanted in the skin.

5480 charagma {khar'-ag-mah} from the same as 5482; TDNT - 9:416,1308; n n



AV - mark 8, graven 1; 9



1) a stamp, an imprinted mark

1a) of the mark stamped on the forehead or the right hand as the badge of the followers of the Antichrist

1b) the mark branded upon horses

2) thing carved, sculpture, graven work

2a) of idolatrous images



See: The Mark of the Beast: Tattoos & Branding



c. Biblical Precedents



It is also important to look at precedents in the Scriptures where a visible mark was given to people, such as the mark of Cain and the mark placed on the foreheads of the men of Jerusalem:



âAnd 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.â (Gen. 4:15)



âAnd the LORD said unto him, Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry for all the abominations that be done in the midst thereof.â (Ezek. 9:4)



There is yet a another consideration which should be taken into account:



d. Bible prophecy

The book of Revelation places the mandatory reception of the Mark of the Beast in chapter 13, after the seven seal judgments and seven trumpet judgments have taken place. Prior to this, Rev. 11:18 refers to nations which have destroyed the earth: And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged...and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth.

Our report Heeding Bible Prophecy reveals that the occult plan for the New Age is to go "back to the future" -- to revert mankind to the pre-flood days of Noah and ultimately to the Garden of Eden. The rationale for destroying the earth is the Gnostic belief that the world was created by an evil Demiurge and that the material world is inherently evil. In order for man to transcend matter, and attain to godhood, the world must be annihilated. It logically follows that the destruction caused by mankind and the severity of God's judgments will disable the current systems of advanced technology that are required for a microchip implant. The chip implant, however, will be promoted by the occult societies as a counterfeit mark of the beast during the first half of the Tribulation period. To further deceive, a "false" Antichrist and counterfeit False Prophet will be staged and judged at mid-Tribulation by the true Antichrist, who poses as "The Christ." At mid-Tribulation, after approximately one half of the world has been decimated, mankind will revert to a sophisticated system of barter and exchange, which is already in place. The true mark of the beast -- the six-pointed star -- will then be branded as a tattoo upon those who vow their allegiance to Satan at the Luciferic initiation.

2. Occult sources reveal the Mark of the Beast (Lucifer).

a. The great seal (mark) of Lucifer is the six-pointed star.



"I" Sail with the Seal

by John M. Tapia



*I*am that I am the *I* as I am

in you as I am in all things.

*I*give you my peace to mankind

my peace the peace of *I*

*I* made heaven for those who are

worthy to be aware of all of light

*I* made you because of love,

you are my family of the greater whole

of the universe.

MY SYMBOL IN LIGHT IS THE SIX POINTED

STAR THE STAR OF HEAVEN

THIS IS MY GREAT SEAL.





b. The six-pointed star symbolizes man's union with the divine:

"The Septenary Universe unfolds seamlessly from Infinity to the physical plane but it was divided into Seven Planes of Existence--or states of consciousness--by The Hierarchy who released this information through Mme. Blavatsky. The Three Higher Planes--Atma (Infinity), Buddhi (Light) and Manas (Higher Intelligence) constitute the Higher Self. The Higher Self is represented by the triangle pointing upwards. Interestingly enough, everyone and everything in the Universe has the same three principles in their seven-principled bodies and this constitutes the principle of Universal Brotherhood.

"The triangle pointing downwards is representative of the lower self, the three principles of sensient life--the 'breath of life' (which is a reflection of the Highest Principle), the Astral Body and the physical Body.

"When we come into existence, these two triangles are separated, the higher above the lower. In between is a single point of consciousness which represents the soul. The soul is the vehicle of our desires. If we desire the things of the lower principles, the fire of out soul is directed downward and, if our lower desires are strong enough, goes out.

"However, if we direct the fire upwards into our Higher Self, we receive the higher energies necessary to RAISE OUR LOWER SELF into harmony with our Higher Self. Thus the lower and Higher self become locked together in place in perfect Union by the principle of the soul. Thus we attain full consciousness awareness on ALL PLANES of the universe and he have, in effect, spiritualized our lower self, to the point where it has raised its energies into Union with the Higher.

"As the great metaphysician Mme. Helena Roerich said, 'Man becomes simply a god...and then God.'" - GaiaMind





âIn Ritual Magick, the hexagon is called the Seal of Solomon, and represents Divine Union, being composed of a female, watery triangle, and a male, fiery triangle. The traditional elemental triangles of earth, air, water, and fire are derived from the seal. When the points of a hexagram are connected, a hexagon is formed. Kabbalistically, the hexagram represents the Sefirah Tifaret, perfection...



âIn the Hindu religion, the hexagram is called the Shatkona, and is equivalent to the symbolism in ritual magick. The Shatkona is the combination of the Shiva kona (trikona, triangle), the symbol of the God Shiva, representing the element of fire, and the Shakti kona, representing the element of water. Together, they represent the union of male and female, and the heart chakra.â - Hexagram (Shatkona, Seal of Solomon)



c. The six-pointed star is considered by occultists to be the Star of Bethlehem which will precede the Advent of the False Christ.

"Immediately after the tribulation of those days...shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven..." (Matt. 24:29-30)

"The Star is the symbol of the perfect life, the perfect balance, of the Christ-man. The six-pointed star is the Star of Bethlehem, which again means the Star of the Son of man...

"The star with the six points represents the star of Light...of brotherhood, the Star of Christ. The love of Christ is represented by this Star. So, we have in that symbol a representation of the Ancient Wisdom, and the love of Christ, the wisdom and love combined, which is to be realized by humanity in this New Age - the age of Aquarius." - GaiaMind

THE SIX~POINTED STAR



THE MARK OF THE BEAST



PART II







HISTORY OF THE SIX-POINTED STAR







The 6-pointed star is not a Jewish symbol, but an Egyptian symbol which Israel adopted in the wilderness due to their apostasy

Acts 7:37-43 This is that Moses...to whom our fathers wold not obey, but thrust him from them, and IN THEIR HEARTS TURNED BACK AGAIN INTO EGYPT... And they made a calf in those days, and offered sacrifices unto the idol, and rejoiced in the works of their own hands. Then God turned, and gave them up to worship the HOST OF HEAVEN: as it is written in the book of the prophets, O ye house of Israel, have ye offered to Me slain beasts and sacrifices by the space of FORTY YEARS IN THE WILDERNESS? Yea, ye took up the tabernacle of Moloch, and the STAR OF YOUR GOD REMPHAN, figures which ye made to worship them: and I will carry you away beyond Babylon.

Amos 5:26-27 But ye have born the tabernacle of your Moloch, and Chiun (Remphan) your images, the STAR OF YOUR GOD, which ye made to yourselves. Therefore, will I cause you to go into captivity beyond Damascus, saith the Lord...

"The Universal Jewish Encyclopedia declares that the SIX-POINTED STAR...according to the Rosicrucians...was known to the ancient Egyptians." (Graham, p. 13)

"SIX TRIANGLES...is the Egyptian hieroglyphic for the ...Land of the Spirits." (Churchward, p. 177)

"Ancient Egyptian Seal of Solomon" (Churchward, p. 188)

"In the Astro-Mythology of the Egyptians, we find belief in the first man-god (Horus I) ...and his death and resurrection as Amsu"

"This (6-pointed star) was the first sign or hieroglyphic of Amsu"

"Amsu - the risen Horus - was the first man-god risen in spiritual form." (Churchward, p. 3, 65, 38)





B. The six pointed star is associated with the worship of Saturn. Therefore, the beast is Saturn (Satan) and his mark is the 6-pointed star.



Acts 7:43 - Yea, ye took up the tabernacle of Moloch, and the STAR OF YOUR GOD REMPHAN, figures which ye made to worship them: and I will carry you away beyond Babylon.

Amos 5:26-27 - But ye have born the tabernacle of your Moloch, and Chiun (Remphan) your images, the STAR OF YOUR GOD, which ye made to yourselves. Therefore, will I cause you to go into captivity beyond Damascus, saith the Lord...

1. The mark of Cain was worshipped by the Israelites in the wilderness as the star of Remphan, which Strongâs Concordance identifies as Chiun:



Strongâs #4481 - Rhemphan {hrem-fan'} by incorrect transliteration for a word of Hebrew origin 3594; n pr m AV - Remphan 1; 1 Remphan = "the shrunken (as lifeless)" 1) the name of an idol worshipped secretly by the Israelites in the wilderness







Strongâs #3594 - Kiyuwn {kee-yoon'} from 3559; n pr dei AV - Chiun 1; 1 Chiun = "an image" or "pillar" 1) probably a statue of the Assyrian-Babylonian god of the planet Saturn and used to symbolise Israelite apostasy







2. Both Chiun and Saturn are identified as Cain.



âThe god of time was Chium in Egypt, or Saturn...and Chium is the same as Cain.â - Blavatsky, The Secret Doctrine (897:390)



N.B. Chium is an alternative spelling of Chiun: â...Chium, Chiun kiyyun, khiyun (Hebrew)...â - Theosophical Glossary (898)







âChiun is sometimes called Kaiwan, or spelled Khiun, and means star. The star of Saturn was a god... Sakkuth and Kaiwan or Chiun are objects of idolatrous worship and are Assyrian gods. In Akkadian texts both names mean the planet or star, Saturn.â (Graham, The Six-Pointed Star, pp. 28-29)



Since Chiun and Cain are linked with Saturn, the planetary name for Satan, the mark of Cain was the mark of Saturn, a six-pointed star.



Strongâs #7014 - Qayin {kah'-yin} the same as 7013 (with a play upon the affinity to 07069); TWOT - 2017,2016 AV - Cain 17, Kenite 1; 18 n pr m Cain = âpossessionâ 1) eldest son of Adam and Eve and the first murderer having murdered his brother Abel n pr gent Kenite = âsmithsâ 2) the tribe from which the father-in-law of Moses was a member and which lived in the area between southern Palestine and the mountains of Sinai



4. The Kenites who claim to have descended from Cain wore the mark of the Tau Cross, the letter of Saturn, on their foreheads.



"In this overlapping form [the Star of David] is the mark of the double messiah: the priestly ... messiah and the kingly...messiah. As such it is the only true sign of Jesus, and it carries the extra meaning as being the representative of the BRIGHT STAR OF DAVID'S LINE THAT AROSE IN THE MORNING. If the Star of David is a symbol of the unified messiah-ship of Jesus, it should be the mark of Christianity. Then the question has to be, what is the symbol of Judaism? The answer is the cross. This is the mark of the 'TAU' and it is this shape of cross upon which Jesus was crucified. The TAU was the mark of Yahweh...the Kenites bore ON THEIR FOREHEADS long before Moses came across them in the wilderness... " - The Hiram Key (162:140-141)



âTAU... [is the] letter of Saturn...â Israel Regardie, The Golden Dawn (153:215)



The Chaldean number for Saturn is 666, suggesting that the mark of Cain was a prototype of the mark of the beastâthe six-pointed star received by those who will worship the god Saturn during the Golden Age of Saturn , the occult millennium (which will be shortened to 3 1/2 years). Some Jewish sources also say the mark of Cain was the Seal of Solomon or Star of David. (See: The Six-Pointed Star: It's Origin & Usage)







C. In ancient pagan mythology, Saturn ruled over the pre-Flood kingdom of Atlantis and became the divine ancestor of all earthly patriarchs and kings.



"Chronos, or Saturn, Dionysos, Hyperion, Atlas, Hercules, were all connected with 'a great Saturnian continent;' they were kings that ruled over countries on the western shores of the Mediterranean, Africa and Spain. One account says: 'Hyperion, Atlas, and Saturn, or Chronos, were sons of Uranos, who reigned over a great kingdom composed of countries around the western part of the Mediterranean, with certain islands in the Atlantic. Hyperion succeeded his father, and was then killed by the Titans. The kingdom was then divided between Atlas and Saturn --Atlas taking Northern Africa, with the Atlantic islands, and Saturn the countries on the opposite shore of the Mediterranean to Italy and Sicily.' (Baldwin's Prehistoric Nations," p. 357.)...



"The period of Saturn's government was sung in later days by poets as a happy time, when sorrows were unknown, when innocence, freedom, and gladness reigned throughout the land in such a degree as to deserve the title of the Golden Age." (Murray's Mythology," p. 32.)







D. The Six-Pointed Star is engraved on the Talisman of Saturn which is used in ritual magic.



TALISMAN OF SATURN

"On the first face is engraved...a pentagram or a star with five points. On the other side is engraved a bull's head enclosed in a SIX-POINTED STAR, and surrounded by letters composing the name REMPHA, THE PLANETARY GENIUS OF SATURN, according to the alphabet of the Magi." (Christian, p. 304-5)



Talismans of the Magi

"Theophrastus Paracelsus revived, in the XVIth century, the ancient doctrine of Talismans, which he claimed to be able to use successfully in the treatment of illnesses and accidents. This medical doctrine, derived from the Cabala, or secret tradition of the Jewish rabbis, was said to be borrowed from the ancient occult sciences of Chaldea and Egypt. The talisman (tsilmenaia) signifies an image, a figure, and was engraved in the form of an emblem or symbol on metals consecrated to the genii of the seven planets. This magical task had to be carried out at a fixed time of a certain day, with the firm intention of attracting to the talisman the beneficent influence of the genius which was invoked, whether for health or any other protective measures...



The Talisman of Saturn

Talisman of Jupiter

The Talisman of Mars

Talisman of the Sun

Talisman of Venus

The Talisman of Mercury

The Talisman of the Moon

"These are the principal Talismans whose traditions have been preserved for us by the most ancient monuments of the highest magical art and by the most reliable archaeologists in this type of research. These talismans are recommended under the name of Teraphim by the Hebrew Qabalists of the Middle Ages, who replace the names of the planetary Genii of Egypt by those of: Oriphiel (REMPHA), Zachariel (Pi-Zeus), Samael (Ertosill), Michael (Pi-Rh3), Anabel (Suroth), Raphael (Pi-Hermes) and Gabriel (Pi-Ioh). These Cabalists add another seven talismans to which they attribute the power of conjuring the influence of seven demons who, according to their doctrine, share with the seven planetary angels the government of the divine creation. Against the angel of Saturn they set the demon Nabam; against the angel of Jupiter the demon Acham; against the angel of Mars the demon Nambroth; against the angel of Venus the demon Lilith or Naemah; against the angel of Mercury the demon Astaroth or Tharthac; and against the angel of the Moon the demon Sathan, See Judges xvii and xviii in the Bible. The Teraphim appear to correspond to the serpent images or seraphim. which in turn are said to derive from the Kabeiri Assyrian divinities worshipped at Hebron (Beni Anak). The Daimons or male spirits of the planets are now given by esoteric students of the Qabala as: Adonai=sun, Evoe=Moon. Saba=Mars, Astaphoi=Mercury, Eloi=Jupiter. Ouraioa=Venus and Ilde-baoth, or according to the Orphites JAHWEH=SATURN."

"Now, the name SATURN in Chaldee is pronounced Satur; but, as every Chaldee scholar knows, consists only of four letters, thus - Stur [ed. Star?]. This name contains exactly the Apocalyptic number." (Hislop, p. 269)

S = 060

T = 400

U = 006

R = 200

= 666

"Sri Aurobindo, a Hindu guru well-known in the New Age affirms that SATURN IS REPRESENTED BY THE NUMBER 6⦠because the planet Saturn is 6th of the nine planets in distance from the sun." (Marrs: Mystery Mark, p. 68)



E. Noah was worshipped as Saturn, Oannes and the Philistine god, Dagon -- all Fish-gods.

"...Noah is celebrated...by the name Saturn, 'the hidden one'," --for that name was applied to him...on account of his having been 'hidden' in the ark, in the day of the Lord's fierce anger,'--or 'Oannes,'..." (Hislop, p. 136)

"Out of (the) deluge emerged DAGON, the fish-god, or GOD OF THE SEA⦠In the secret mysteries⦠they sought to regain their influence and power by scenic representation⦠of the flood, in which NOAH was introduced under the name DAGON." (Hislop, p. 243-44)



"...Dagon or Oannes, a half-human, half-fish combination who was known as the 'Lord of the Flood',...was said to rise out of the sea every day to teach his secret knowledge to those who followed him. He is mentioned in Samuel, Chapter 5, when the Philistines capture the Ark of the Covenant and place it in the Temple of Dagon. Two nights later, 'Dagon was fallen upon is face to the ground before the Ark of the Lord; and the head of Dagon and both the palms of his hands were cut off upon the threshold; only the stump of Dagon was left to him.' It is this character upon which Satan or Lucifer is based, but the physical description attributed to him applied to an entire race of 'gods', or as they were described in the Bible, Nephilim, or Fallen Angels, the 'Great Old Ones'..." (Twyman)



1. Dagon, the Fish-god, is associated with the forehead and hands, the location of the mark of the beast.

Note: Dagon's crown is the top of a 6-pointed star.







Rev. 13:1 - And I saw the BEAST RISE UP OUT OF THE SEA



Rev. 13:16 - â¦a mark IN THEIR RIGHT HAND, OR IN THEIR FOREHEADS



I Sam. 5:4 - And when they arose early on the morrow morning, behold, Dagon was fallen upon his face to the earth before the ark of the Lord; and the HEAD OF DAGON AND BOTH THE PALMS OF HIS HANDS WERE CUT OFF upon the threshold; only did the stump of Dagon was left to him.



2. In the mystery religions, both the forehead and hands were tattooed during rites of initiation. (Reason Dagon's hands and head were cut off.)



Concerning Mithraism: "INITIATION was performed by two dignitaries, who possessed the title of Father and Herald. After the ceremony (the initiate) would be considered the brotherâ¦of the other initiates and the son of the Father⦠In order to be recognized by the Father, he has to be TATOOED, in other words, BRANDED ON BOTH HANDS⦠On portraits of emperors, these TATTOO MARKS are clearly visible, but ON THE FOREHEAD, IN PLACE OF THE HANDS." (Vermaseren, p. 131)

The tattoo bonds the initiate with the entity symbolized by the tattoo and enables him to communicate with that demonic power.



"In some pictures of a tattooed man we are faced by a permanent prayer to and identification with the heavenly powers, at the same time as a basic means of communication with them. Such is the most generalized meaning of tattooing bestowed in consequence of a rite of initiation which allows this communication to take place. At the same time, this initiation is a rite of admission into a social group and the tattoo is the PERMANENT MARK OF THAT INITIATION, the badge of the tribe.



"All in all, tattooing belongs among symbols of identification and is interfused with all their magic and mystic potency. Identification always carries a double meaning: it tends to invest the individual concerned with the properties and strength of the CREATURE OR THING TO WHICH THAT PERSON IS ASSIMILATED and, at the same time, to immunize the latter against its potential power to cause harm. This is why tattoos depict dangerous creatures such as serpents or scorpions, or animals which are symbols of fertility, such as bulls or of power, such as lions, and so on. Identification also carries a SENSE OF SURRENDER OR EVEN OF CONSECRATION to whatever the tattoo symbolically depicts. It then becomes a BADGE OF FEALTY." - Chevalier's Dictionary of Symbols



3. The six-pointed star was used in mystery religion initiation rites.



"In an ancient book on numbers the INITIATE is defined as 'the one who has experienced and expressed 666 and found it naught; who has dropped the 6 and become the 66, and thus found himself on the Way; later, again, he drops the 6 and becomes the PERFECTED 6-FORM, the instrument and expression of spirit." (Bailey: Rays and Initiations, p. 80)



"This is the sign with which the Magus DECORATED HIMSELF when he has reached the HIGHEST DEGREE OF INITIATION" (Christian, p. 110-111)



The Crown of the Magi





F. King Solomon reintroduced the 6-Pointed Star to the Kingdom of Israel.



1. The Talisman of Saturn became known as the Seal of Solomon.



ââ¦Solomonâs blatant idolatry had angered the Lord to the point of bringing about the division of the kingdom of Israel. Part of the evidence is the six-pointed star, which was called the Seal of Solomon from then on. Let us investigate those false gods with which he was involved.



âFirst mentioned was ASHTORETH, otherwise called ASTARTE, the word meaning STAR.



âII Kings 23:13 is explicit: âAnd the high places that were before Jerusalem, which were on the right hand of the mount of corruption, which Solomon the king of Israel had builded for Ashtoreth the abomination of the Zidonians, and for Chemosh the abomination of the Moabites, and for Milcom the abomination of the children of Ammon, did the king defile.ââ¦



âKing Solomon built an altar for Ashtoreth, worshipped her, and also practiced Moloch rituals. It was at this time that the HEXAGRAM OR SIX-POINTED STAR CAME TO BE CALLED THE SEAL OF SOLOMON...



ââ¦the Seal of Solomon or six-pointed star, or hexagramâ¦was considered an ALL-POWERFUL TALISMAN especially when accompanied by the Hebrew Yodâ¦It was also combined with the Tau cross, or Crux Ansanta in the center...



ââ¦How do the dictionaries define âhexagramâ? âThe root word hex is defined as (1) an evil spell, (2) a witch (v.t. to bewitch)â (Funk & Wagnallâs Dictionary)...



âSolomonâs Seal was accepted as occult by the occult world. King Solomon was deeply involved in witchcraft and occultism. According to The Sorcererâs Handbook, âKing Solomon, traditionally known as an arch magician, used a spell to banish infernal beings sent by the king of demons to extract human hearts⦠[The names of the demons are then given.]â... (Graham: 24-5, 29, 32)



2. The Seal of Solomon is a graphical representation of 666, the number of the Beast, and Solomon is the man whose number is 666:



âHere is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is SIX HUNDRED THREESCORE AND SIX. â(Rev. 13:18)



âNow the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was SIX HUNDRED THREESCORE AND SIX talents of gold...â (1 Kings 10:14)







Image of the Seal from Eliphas Levi's Transcendental Magick





âThe fundamental doctrine of magic (more correctly, magick) is phallicism. New life is created by the act of generation (the argument runs): therefore the life force is generated by the @@%!@ual forces, the union of male and female elements. As represented by the two opposing equilateral triangles:



The triangle with the broad base up is the male principle (spirit of fire - red) Jehovah White and positive.

The triangle with the broad base down is the female principle (spirit of water - blue) Jehovah Black and negative.

The symbolic representation of which is %%@%!ual union.

(Interestingly enough you will notice that the emblem is made up of three pairs of triangles with their apexes touching. Each pair collectively represents the number 6, which qualifies the whole symbol as a graphical representation of 666.â (âSects, Symbolism & Mark of the Beastâ)















âSolomon's Seal. The symbolical double triangle, adopted by the Theosophical Society and by many Theosophists. ...the pentagram is the triple triangle--the six-pointed star being the hexalp ha (See 'Pentacle'... The way a triangle points determines its meaning. If upwards, it means the male element and divine fire; downwards, the female and the waters of matter; upright, but with a bar across the top, air and astral light; downwards, with a bar--the earth or gross matter, etc.â - H.P. Blavatsky, Theosophical Glossary



3. Solomon used his Seal ring to communicate with evil spirits.



"The legend that Solomon possessed a seal ring on which the name of God was engraved and by means of which he controlled the demons is related at length in Git. 68a, b. This legend is especially developed by Arabic writers, who declare that the ring, on which was engraved 'the Most Great Name of God,' and which was given to Solomon from heaven, was partly brass and partly iron. With the brass part of the ring Solomon signed his written commands to the good genii, and with the iron part he signed his commands to the evil genii, or devils. The Arabic writers declare also that Solomon received four jewels from four different angels, and that he set them in one ring, so that he could control the four elements. The legend that Asmodeus once obtained possession of the ring and threw it into the sea, and that Solomon was thus deprived of his power until he discovered the ring inside a fish (Jellinek, 'B. H.' ii. 86-87), also has an Arabic source (comp. D'Herbelot, 'Bibliothèque Orientale,' s.v. 'Soliman ben Daoud'; Fabricius, 'Codex Pseudepigraphicus,' i. 1054;... The legend of a magic ring by means of which the possessor could exorcise demons was current in the first century, as is shown by Josephus' statement ('Ant.' viii. 2, § 5) that one Eleazar exorcised demons in the presence of Vespasian by means of a ring, using incantations composed by Solomon Fabricius (l.c.) thinks that the legend of the ring of Solomon thrown into the sea and found afterward inside a fish is derived from the story of the ring of Polycrates, a story which is related by Herodotus (iii. 41 et seq.), Strabo (xiv. 638), and others, and which was the basis of Schiller's poem 'Der Ring des Polykrates.'" (Jewish encyclopedia)



4. Solomon's Seal is used as a talisman by all occultists.



"Pentacle. (Gr.). Any geometrical figure, especially that known as the double equilateral triangle, the six-pointed star (like the theosophical pentacle); called also Solomon's Seal and still earlier 'the sign of Vishnu'; used by all the mystics, astrologers, etc." (Blavatsky, Theosophical Glossary)













G. The Mark of the Beast will be the symbol of the "Beast out of the Sea" with 7 heads, which will be the earthly counterpart of Satan, the 7-headed Dragon.



"And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a GREAT RED DRAGON, HAVING SEVEN HEADS and ten horns⦠And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and SATANâ¦" - Rev. 12:3, 9

"The 7-headed dragon and BEAST OF THE BOOK OF REVELATION⦠have their origin in the 7-headed serpent which is MENTIONED IN THE PYRAMID TEXT." (Churchward, p. 210)

"It is 'SATAN who is the god of our planet and the only god'⦠In the order of divine evolution SATURN (SATAN), astronomically, 'is the seventh and last in the order of macrocosmic emanation'" (Blavatsky, p. 234, quoting Dr. A. Kingsford: Perfect Way, Appendix: The Secret of Satan)

"The SATURNIAN SPIRIT, 'SATAN' â¦ensouls the Third great major or Primary Ray of Deity." (Marrs: Mystery Mark, p. 69, quoting Vera Stanley Alder)





"And Iâ¦saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having SEVEN HEADS and ten horns." Rev. 13:1







âIt was the Arcadian legacy that was responsible for the the mysterious sea beast - the BISTEA NEPTUNIS - as symbolically defined in the Merovingian ancestry. The relevant sea-lord was King Pallas, a god of old Arcadia. His predecessor was the great Oceanus. The immortal sea-lord was said to be âever-incarnate in a dynasty of ancient kingsâ whose symbol was a FISH...â (Bloodline of the Holy Grail, p. 175)



"Between the 5th and 7th centuries the MEROVINGIANS ruled large parts of ⦠France and Germany⦠The ruler from whom the Merovingians derived their name isâ¦Meroveeâ¦a semi-supernatural figure worthy of classical MYTH⦠His name⦠echoes the French word of⦠SEA⦠Merovee's mother supposedly went swimming in the OCEAN. In the water she is said to have been seduced and/or raped by⦠a BEAST OF NEPTUNE." (Baigent, p. 396)



"The Merovingian dynasty - male line (are) descendants of the FISHER KINGS." (Gardner, p. 163)







H. The 7 heads represent the 7 kings of 7 Gentile world kingdoms controlled by Satan which have conquered Israel.



"And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads areâ¦SEVEN KINGS: 5 have fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come: and when he cometh, he must continue a short space. And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the EIGHTH, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition." - Rev. 17:9-11

1. The 7 Gentile world kingdoms worshipped the "beast out of the sea" in the form of a Fish-god who ruled the pre-Flood world (Atlantis).

a. "5 have fallen"

1) Egypt

"Horus I represents the soul of life, which came by water to a dried up world⦠Here the FISHâ¦was a sign of his incorporation in matter⦠Horus came by water as Ichtus the FISH before there was a boat or Ark⦠The inundation (of the Nile) was the source of the life of Egypt. It was her annual salvation, and Horusâ¦the Fish-man, was her Saviour." (Churchward, p. 420-21)

2) Babylon

"In Babylon, Capricorn symbolized the dual life of Ea, a god often shown walking in a great FISH-SHAPED cloak with the head of a FISH over his own head⦠It was said to have come from the OCEAN to teach men how to live."



3) Assyria

"In the great Assyrian temple of !$$urâ¦stood a large stone ritual basin dedicated to the god OANNES⦠Flanking him are 4 FISH-CLAD priests." (Johnson, p. 243) In an etching of "Assyria, 7th century BCE: FISH-CLAD priests." (Johnson, p. 245)



4) Medo-Persia

"DAGONâ¦under the name 'MITHRA', was worshipped." (Hislop, p. 264)

"In Mythraic mysteries, SATURN was the Sun God." (Springmeier, p. 160, quoting Manly P. Hall)

5) Greece

"Jerome calls DAGONâ¦FISH of sorrow which goes far to identify that FISH-GOD with Bacchus." (Hislop, p. 114)

b. "One is" - Imperial Rome

1) The Roman god Saturn, known as Chronos to the Greeks, was the king of Atlantis.



"SATURN wandered to Italy, where he ruled as king in the Golden Age and gave the name SATURNIA to the country." (Encyclopedia Britannica, "Saturn," p. 231)



"Uranos was deposed from the throne [of Atlantis], and succeeded by his son CHRONOS...



"We have seen Chronos identified with the Atlantic, called by the Romans the 'CHRONIAN SEA.' He was known to the Romans under the name , and ruled over 'a great SATURNIAN continent' in the Western ocean." - 635:300-301



c. "One is yet to come" - Papal Rome

"About the very time when the Bishop of Rome was invested with the pagan title of Pontifex, the Saviour began to be called ICHTHUS, of 'THE FISH', thereby identifying him with DAGON." (Hislop, p. 215)

"The two-horned mitre, which the Pope wearsâ¦is the very mitre worn by DAGON." (Hislop, p. 215)







2. The Kings who were controlled by Satan.



a. King of Tyre



Ezek. 28:2 Son of man, say unto the prince of Tyre, Thus saith the Lord God; Because thine heart is lifted up, and thou hast said I am a God, I sit in the seat of God, in the midst of the seas; yet thou are a manâ¦



Ezek. 28:12 Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyrus⦠Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; ⦠Thou art the anointed cherub that coverethâ¦



b. King of Egypt



Ezek. 29:3 ⦠Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I am against thee Pharaoh KING OF EGYPT, THE GREAT DRAGON that lieth in the midst of his rivers.



"In the Pyramid texts the king was regarded as the SON AND EMBODIMENT OF THE SOLAR DEITY. In this capacity he was the EARTHLY REPRESENTATIVE and high priest of his heavenly Father Re - A GOD IN HUMAN FORM." (James, p. 2)



c. King of Babylon



"In Babylonia theâ¦rulerâ¦was regarded as actually the MANIFESTATION OF THE DEITY." (James, p. 7)







I. Eighth Beast - The Kingdom of Israel under the Merovingian False Christ, who will rule as the reincarnated King Solomon over the Gentile world.

3. The Rothschild insignia, the Six-Pointed Star, became the Zionist symbol which adorns the flag of Israel.



âFinally, the State of Israel was created by the United Nations in 1948. Its symbol, the six-pointed star, adorns the Israeli Knesset and flies on the flag of Israel.



âIn retrospect, the six-pointed star was an Egyptian occult symbol which KING SOLOMON adopted when he went into idolatry and witchcraft and built an altar for Ashteroth (star). It was seen in Arab associations with Jews (and these were obviously cabalists) till the 16th century and the influence of the Cabalist Isaac Luria to the 17th century when Mayer Amschel Bauer used it on his door. Then he changed his family name to Rothschildâ¦incorporating it into his familyâs coat of arms. Finally, it became the insignia for ZIONISM.â (Graham: 24-5, 29, 32, 51-2)
