"The Beast" in the Book of Revelation
Who has the mark of the “Beast”
- 666?
For the past two thousand years, the religions conditioned and scared the people
of the world with the coming of the "Beast" in the "end of days". They have used
the "mark" and its "number" to signify historical figures, from the Popes of the
Vatican, Nero, and Hitler and, even up to our generation, the "biochip implant."
What does the Holy Bible really say about the "Beast" and his
"mark?"
Though the religions preached about the "Beast," and pointed to many chronicled
figures throughout history, are they really the "Beast"? Why so many of them?
Is the "Beast" like a chameleon that changes its appearance and hides in
history? Maybe its identity has remained veiled in the Holy Bible and the
religions didn't know where to start looking for the "Beast?”
Let us read the Revelation of Maestro Eraño M. Evangelista about the
"Beast" in the
Holy Bible:
The Beast
And the dragon stood on the shore of the sea. And I saw a beast
coming out of the sea. He had ten horns and seven heads, with ten crowns on his horns, and on each head a blasphemous name.
Revelation 13:1 (NIV)
"coming out of the sea" - The identity of the "Beast" will be known or be
finally exposed
"ten" - Not infinite.
"horns" - Power.
"seven heads" - being many, one main religion that had spawn many other
religions, churches and beliefs.
"crown" - being given recognition and authority
"a blasphemous name" - this "beast" was called or given titles with that of a
god.
The beast I saw resembled a leopard, but had feet like those of a bear
and a mouth like that of a lion. The dragon gave the beast his power and his throne and great authority.
Revelation 13:2 (NIV)
"leopard" - the "beast" is like a leopard, meaning his true identity is hard to
determine, but with the coming of "the foreigner," the "beast" will be unmasked.
"feet like those of a bear" - it means that the power of the "beast" rest on its
limbs; like a bear, the paw is its most powerful weapon. In the temples and
churches you see preachers making hand gestures as a part of their conditioning
tool on the people.
"a mouth like that of a lion" - Maestro Evangelista says: we are very close to
revealing the true identity of the "beast." We will read about him later.
"dragon" - Who is it?
The great dragon was hurled down - that ancient serpent called the devil, or
Satan, who leads the whole world astray. He was hurled to the earth, and his
angels with him. Revelation 12:9 (NIV)
The "dragon" is also Satan; this is the
"thing" that we should stay far away from.
"his angels with him" – the angels or messengers of Satan; they are not yet known, but in time
Maestro will reveal their identities.
Regarding the phrase
"a mouth like that of a lion;" who is the "lion" being
mentioned in the Holy Bible?
Then one of the elders said to me, "Do not weep! See, the Lion of the tribe of
Judah, the Root of David, has triumphed. He is able to open the scroll and its seven
seals." Revelation 5:5 (NIV)
The "lion" is also the Root of David.
Who is the Root of David then?
"I, Jesus, have sent my angel to give you this testimony for the churches.
I am the Root and the Offspring of David, and the bright Morning Star."
Revelation 22:16 (NIV)
Jesus is the Root of David and also considered as the
"lion." This means that
the "beast" uses the teaching of Jesus in its deception.
To read again in:
The beast I saw resembled a leopard, but had feet like those of a bear and a
mouth like that of a lion. The dragon gave the beast his power and his throne
and great authority. Revelation 13:2 (NIV)
"leopard" - the
"beast" is like a leopard, meaning his true identity is hard to
determine, but with the coming of “the foreigner," the "beast" will be unmasked.
"feet like those of a bear" - meaning, the power of the
"beast" rest on its
limbs, like a bear, the paw is its most powerful weapon. In the temples and
churches you see preachers making hand gesture as a part of their conditioning
tool on the people.
"a mouth like that of a lion" - uses the teaching of Jesus in its deception.
"The dragon gave the beast his power..." - Who is the "beast" that had been
offered power by Satan in the Holy Bible?
The devil said to him, "If you are the Son of God, tell this stone to become
bread." Jesus answered, "It is written: 'Man does not live on bread alone.' "
Luke 4:3-4 (NIV)
Jesus answered the Devil in a different way - that he cannot turn the stone into
bread.
And for us to be really sure that Jesus knows the contents of the Holy Bible,
can the answer given by Jesus to the Devil be found written in it?
He humbled you, causing you to hunger and then feeding you with manna,
which neither you nor your fathers had known, to teach you that man does not live on bread alone but on every word that comes from the mouth of the LORD.
Deuteronomy 8:3 (NIV)
Jesus knew the Holy Bible indeed, but this is not the appropriate answer to the
challenge of the Devil.
What did the Devil do to him?
The devil led him up to a high place and showed him in an instant all the
kingdoms of the world. And he said to him, "I will give you all their
authority and splendor, for it has been given to me, and I can give it to
anyone I want to. So if you worship me, it will all be yours."
Luke 4:5-7 (NIV)
Now it is clear, the
"beast" that had been given power and authority by the
dragon (the Devil) is Jesus. The beast and Jesus are the same; he is only exposed in our
time!
The reason that it had taken a long time for him to be exposed, is that he had
been hidden by the religions. The “seven heads” are the religions; churches and
temples of those who had received and preach the teachings of Jesus.
No passage
in the Holy Bible can be found where it states that God promised the
power and authority of the world to Jesus. Only the Devil or Satan offered it to
Jesus, and since Jesus did have power during his time, he is...
The beast I saw resembled a leopard, but had feet like those of a bear and a
mouth like that of a lion. The dragon gave the beast his power and his throne
and great authority. Revelation 13:2 (NIV)
"leopard" - The
"beast" is like a leopard, meaning his true identity is hard to
determine, but with the coming of "the foreigner," the "beast" will be unmasked.
"feet like those of a bear" - the power of the "beast" rest on its limbs, like a
bear, the paw is its most powerful weapon. In the temples and churches you see
preachers making hand gesture as a part of their conditioning tool on the
people.
"a mouth like that of a lion" - Uses the teaching of Jesus in its deception.
"The dragon gave the beast his power..." - This is definitely Jesus, the man who
received power from the Devil or Satan.
And:
One of the heads of the beast seemed to have had a fatal wound,
but the fatal wound had been healed. The whole world was astonished and followed the beast. Men worshiped the dragon because he had
given authority to the beast, and they also worshiped the beast and asked,
"Who is like the beast? Who can make war against him?" Revelation 13:3-4 (NIV)
"One of the heads of the beast seemed to have had a fatal wound, but the fatal
wound had been healed." - This is the teaching of the religions on the life and
death and alleged resurrection of Jesus.
"The whole world was astonished and followed the beast" - with the teaching of
Jesus' miracles and resurrection it made people of the world follow the
religions.
"also worshiped the beast" - when the people of the world worshipped Jesus, they
have worshipped the Devil or Satan (who gave power to Jesus) without knowing it.
"Who is like the beast? Who can make war against him?" - This is how they have
lifted up Jesus in the last two thousand years. The religions preached the
teachings and miracles of Jesus. Even the Muslims believe in him, as do other
religions, quietly waiting for his return.
The beast was given a mouth to utter proud words and blasphemies and to exercise
his authority for forty-two months. He opened his mouth to blaspheme God, and to
slander his name and his dwelling place and those who live in heaven. He was
given power to make war against the saints and to conquer them. And he was given
authority over every tribe, people, language and nation. All inhabitants of the
earth will worship the beast - all whose names have not been written in the book
of life belonging to the Lamb that was slain from the creation of the world.
Revelation 13:5-8 (NIV)
And the people of the world placed their faith in Jesus through the deceptive
teachings of the religions.
He who has an ear, let him hear.
If anyone is to go into captivity, into captivity he will go.
If anyone is to be killed with the sword, with the sword he will be killed.
This calls for patient endurance and faithfulness on the part of the saints.
Revelation 13:9-10 (NIV)
"He who has an ear, let him hear." -
We have to use our wisdom and understanding...
"If anyone is to be killed with the sword, with the sword he will be killed."
-
This is the commandment of God: "eye for eye, tooth for tooth."
"the saints" - That of God, not of Jesus'.
As the people who obey God are advised to be patient and to endure
until the end of the great deception in the world.
Then I saw another beast,
coming out of the earth. He had two horns like a lamb, but he spoke like a
dragon. Revelation 13:11 (NIV)
"another beast" - This is another religion, it will be exposed also.
"two horns" - The two main sects of its faith
"like a lamb" - It has also a teaching on Jesus.
"he spoke like a dragon" - Truly the people of the world have been deceived by
the religions in putting their faith in Jesus without knowing that the teaching
that they were receiving was that of the dragon that is also the Devil or Satan!
He exercised all the authority of the first beast on his behalf, and made the
earth and its inhabitants worship the first beast, whose fatal wound had been
healed. Revelation 13:12 (NIV)
This is also a religion trying to separate itself from other religions, where in
fact it also drew on the teaching of the first "beast,” who is Jesus.
The first and the second beasts are under the power of the Devil, continually
deceiving us all.
And he performed great and miraculous signs, even causing
fire to come down from heaven to earth in full view of men. Revelation 13:13 (NIV)
This religion, though others say is set apart from Christianity, also has its
own way of doing miracles and other rituals which is truly not God's teaching.
Because of the signs he was given power to do on behalf of the first beast, he
deceived the inhabitants of the earth. He ordered them to set up an image in
honor of the beast that was wounded by the sword and yet lived. He was given
power to give breath to the image of the first beast, so that it could speak and
cause all who refused to worship the image to be killed. He also forced
everyone, small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on
his right hand or on his forehead, so that no one could buy or sell unless he
had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of his name. Revelation 13:14-17 (NIV)
According to Teacher Evangelista, the
second beast pertains to the religion Islam. The two horns signify it two main
sects.
As we can read from the said passage about
the second symbolic beast: "Because of the signs he was given power to do on
behalf of the first beast, he deceived the inhabitants of the earth..." -
Although they are promoting a different doctrine, they recognize Jesus as sent
by God. With such teaching they were able to convert a large number of the
world's population just like Christianity.
Also in one of the passages, it says the
second beast forced everyone, no matter what status in life to follow their
doctrine "that no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark, which is the
name of the beast or the number of his name."
Teacher Evangelista says we can understand
that the passage only means how strict Islam is in instilling their religious
teachings upon their followers. It is not about a literal mark being written or
inserted inside a person's body.
This is the sign of the
"beast" - "in the name of Jesus!” this is what they
always say.
Maestro Eraño M. Evangelista says, let us use our understanding:
This calls for wisdom. If anyone has insight, let him calculate the
number of the beast, for it is man's number. His number is 666. Revelation 13:18 (NIV)
The "beast" has a
"man's number" - so we should use mathematics - since we are
told to calculate his number.
Maestro Evangelista will reveal the meaning of the number of the beast:
Jesus was chosen by God to be His "anointed," so he had the highest number of
"9".
Since he had failed and went against all that is of God’s, he was turned over.
The "9", turned over three times, i.e., the number "6", three times equals, the
number "666".
Maestro Evangelista says, see if the end sum of the three sixes is the same as
9:
6 + 6 = 12 + 6 = 18, break it up and add the two numbers 1+ 8 = 9!
"9" - the highest number because Jesus was chosen by God to be his
"anointed," but
since he had failed and went against all that is of God’s; he was turned over…
three times, the number "666."
And since the
"dragon," which was also the “snake,” was mentioned in the Book of
Revelation, it would mean that this prophecy has been mentioned and written in
the books of the Holy Bible long ago. Maestro Evangelista will show us: let us
read it:
So the LORD God said to the serpent, "Because you have done this,
"Cursed are you above all the livestock and all the wild animals!
You will crawl on your belly and you will eat dust
all the days of your life. And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and hers;
he will crush your head, and you will strike his heel." Genesis 3:14-15 (NIV)
There will be a struggle between the offspring of the
serpent/the devil/Satan and the offspring of
the woman. As we have witnessed from the readings of the teaching of Maestro
Evangelista, we have seen how Jesus shifted from being the prophesied offspring
of the woman to be the new offspring of the serpent! So it was at this point
when the devil was successful in deceiving Jesus to receive the authority and the
splendor of the world, God has overturned Jesus from "9" to "6," also making him
receive the mark of the number “666.”
Is it true that Jesus was the
"beast?"
Let us read a prophecy that is near in its fulfillment:
Babylon the Great
One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and said to me, "Come, I
will show you the punishment of the great prostitute, who sits on many waters.
With her the kings of the earth committed adultery and the inhabitants of the
earth were intoxicated with the wine of her adulteries." Then the angel carried me away in the Spirit into a desert. There I saw a woman
sitting on a scarlet beast that was covered with blasphemous names and had seven
heads and ten horns. The woman was dressed in purple and scarlet, and was
glittering with gold, precious stones and pearls. She held a golden cup in her
hand, filled with abominable things and the filth of her adulteries. This title
was written on her forehead: MYSTERY BABYLON THE GREAT THE MOTHER OF PROSTITUTES AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
Revelation 17:1-5 (NIV)
“the punishment of the great prostitute” – A woman will be punished, who was
she?.
“who sits on many waters” – her presence is found in all nations in the world.
“With her the kings of the earth” – the woman have connived with the leaders of
the world throughout history in making the people of the world suffer under her.
“the wine of her adulteries” – her false teachings.
How was the woman described?
“a woman sitting on a scarlet beast” – this woman was riding the "beast" which
was mentioned earlier; symbolically, Jesus.
“covered with blasphemous names...” – Yes, this was Jesus as exposed; he claimed
to be a "son of God" and...
"seven heads" - many, one main religion that had spawn many other religions,
churches and beliefs.
"ten horns" – Its power is not infinite.
Now, the woman is symbolic of the main religion that had taken and propagated
the teaching of Jesus to the peoples of the world – Christianity!
“The woman was dressed in purple and scarlet, and was glittering with gold,
precious stones and pearls.” – she is honored in many nations, and had
accumulated wealth throughout the millennia through deception!
“a golden cup in her hand, filled with abominable things and the filth of her
adulteries” - her deceptive teachings and blasphemies, that made us suffer the
Curse.
“BABYLON THE GREAT” – likened to the great civilization of ancient times, that
was also destroyed
“THE MOTHER OF PROSTITUTES AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH” – Christianity that spawned many other forms of religions, all placed their faith
in Jesus!
This prophecy speaks of the destruction of the faith that has been placed on
Jesus - the destruction of Christianity!
What else?
I saw that the woman was drunk with the blood of the saints, the blood of
those who bore testimony to Jesus. When I saw her, I was greatly astonished.
Revelation 17:6 (NIV)
“saints, the blood of those who bore testimony to Jesus” - who have died,
executed or murdered
"in the name of Jesus," – they did it because the religions told them to
sacrifice one’s life for Jesus is giving glory to God, which was not true.
Then the angel said to me: "Why are you astonished? I will explain to you the
mystery of the woman and of the beast she rides, which has the seven heads and
ten horns. Revelation 17:7 (NIV)
When "the foreigner" comes, who is Maestro
Eraño M. Evangelista, the “beast” will
be exposed together with the "woman" – Christianity. This is not only the Roman
Catholic Church, but every religion and church that had put their faith in
Jesus.
The beast, which you saw, once was, now is not, and will come up out of the
Abyss and go to his destruction. The inhabitants of the earth whose names have
not been written in the book of life from the creation of the world will be
astonished when they see the beast, because he once was, now is not, and yet
will come. Revelation 17:8 (NIV)
"will come up out of the Abyss" - the
"beast" will be unmasked of its true
identity - Jesus.
"go to his destruction" – The religions and churches that have put their faith
in Jesus will also be destroyed.
"whose names have not been written in the book of life" – Maestro Evangelista
says, the teaching of God that gives life. As Jesus was sent only to save the
people of
Israel, people from other nations and religions who had put their faith in him and came to
be called Christians or with any other names, they will be surprised they were not included in the
Promise of God that is only given to the people of Israel! Because the name
"Jesus" means "will save his people from their sins to God".
"This calls for a mind with wisdom. The seven heads are seven hills on which the
woman sits. They are also seven kings. Five have fallen, one is, the other has
not yet come; but when he does come, he must remain for a little while. The
beast who once was, and now is not, is an eighth king. He belongs to the seven
and is going to his destruction.
"The ten horns you saw are ten kings who have not yet received a kingdom, but
who for one hour will receive authority as kings along with the beast. They have
one purpose and will give their power and authority to the beast. Revelation 17:9-13 (NIV)
"seven hills on which the woman sits" - The seven hill of Rome! The Vatican,
mother of all religions!
"seven kings" - The other religions which have put their faith in Jesus.
"an eighth king. He belongs to the seven and is going to his destruction" - This
is Islam; they have the same history and tradition with Christianity, regarding
the return of Jesus and his other teachings.
"one purpose and will give their power and authority to the beast" - This is the
secret of the power of the beast, all religions are converging in the form of an
ecumenical meeting where the Pope sits as the host, the mother of the religions,
in the name of Jesus.
They will make war against the Lamb, but the Lamb will overcome them because he
is Lord of lords and King of kings - and with him will be his called chosen and
faithful followers." Revelation 17:14 (NIV)
There will come a time when the religions will try to go against the modern-day
"anointed" of God, Maestro Eraño M. Evangelista, "the foreigner."
What will happen to the religions? They will not succeed, because
"the
foreigner" is given authority by God to reveal the truth regarding the Name of
God and the Testimony of Jesus.
The religions with their deception will not prevail over the truth which Maestro
Evangelista brings.
Then the angel said to me, "The waters you saw, where the prostitute sits, are
peoples, multitudes, nations and languages. The beast and the ten horns you saw
will hate the prostitute. They will bring her to ruin and leave her naked; they
will eat her flesh and burn her with fire. For God has put it into their hearts
to accomplish his purpose by agreeing to give the beast their power to rule,
until God's words are fulfilled. Revelation 17:15-17 (NIV)
The people of the world never noticed, until now, that the religions and
churches that had spawned from the Vatican were trying to topple its "mother,"
without knowing they are truly fulfilling the teaching of Jesus, the teaching of
"division!"
In fact, when the Vatican falls, all religions will fall.
The woman you saw is the great city that rules over the kings of the earth."
Revelation 17:18 (NIV)
"great city" - The Vatican, seat of Christianity, in the name of Jesus.
Now, considering Jesus as the man with the number "666"
when was he overturned?
The Wicked Prince
" 'O profane and wicked prince of Israel, whose day has come,
whose time of punishment has reached its climax, Ezekiel 21:25 (NIV)
“a wicked Prince” – Who was he?
"time of punishment has reached its climax" - he will be finally revealed, in
our time, as the man punished by God for his own sins.
What did God do to him?
this is what the Sovereign LORD says: Take off the turban, remove the crown. It
will not be as it was: The lowly will be exalted and the exalted will be brought
low. Ezekiel 21:26 (NIV)
"Take off the turban, remove the crown." - he was not allowed to continue his
mission.
A ruin! A ruin! I will make it a ruin! It will not be restored until he comes to
whom it rightfully belongs; to him I will give it.' Ezekiel 21:27 (NIV)
"until he comes to whom it rightfully belongs" - the authority given to him by
God to fulfill the mission of making God's Name to the Israelites is withdrawn
and another will take over.
"A ruin!" - It was mentioned three times; the
"9" was overturned three times,
making it "666." This is the mark of Jesus, he is no longer considered by God as
"9" but "666." The number is exclusive to Jesus, no one else.
Who was the "prince of Israel" punished by God, is it really Jesus?
Peter and the other apostles replied: "We must obey God rather than men! The God
of our fathers raised Jesus from the dead—whom you had killed by hanging him on
a tree. God exalted him to his own right hand as Prince and Savior that he might
give repentance and forgiveness of sins to Israel. Acts 5:29-31 (NIV)
No matter how the apostles portray Jesus in their teachings, we already know
that Jesus is the "wicked prince of Israel"! The apostles deceived the people, so
did the religions!
Also, the city of Babylon, symbolic of the great harlot, is still being
mentioned; who is its king?
How you have fallen from heaven,
O morning star, son of the dawn!
You have been cast down to the earth, you who once laid low the nations!
Isaiah 14:12 (NIV)
And to read the version used by the Catholic church:
King of Babylon, bright morning star, you have fallen from heaven! In the past you conquered nations, but now you have been thrown to the ground.
Isaiah 14:12 (Good News Bible)
The King of Babylon is the
"bright morning star!" Who will admit that he is the
king of Babylon and/or the "bright morning star?"
"I, Jesus, have sent my angel to give you this testimony for the churches.
I am the Root and the Offspring of David, and the bright Morning Star."
Revelation 22:16 (NIV)
Again in the version used by the Catholic church:
"I, Jesus, have sent my angel to announce these things to you in the churches.
I am descended from the family of David; I am the bright morning star."
Revelation 22:16 (Good News Bible)
Jesus has admitted long ago that he is the King of Babylon and also the
"bright
morning star!"
Why did the religions not know about it? This is the time the people of the
world should wake up to the reality that Jesus was never the "son of God" and
never fulfilled his mission.
This is one of the most important revelations in the history of mankind! Through
the revelations of Maestro Eraño M. Evangelista, we can turn to God and return to
Him!
To continue with the revelation of "the foreigner" or Maestro Evangelista:
The 144,000
Then I looked, and there before me was the Lamb, standing on Mount Zion, and
with him 144,000 who had his name and his Father's name written on their
foreheads. Revelation 14:1 (NIV)
The religions thought of the number
“144,000” as the number of people that will
be chosen by God. With over 6,000,000,000 people in the world, they say they
will be the only people that will be saved by God and to be brought up to
heaven. Maestro says these numbers are symbolic of the new people of God. All
will be equal before God.
And I heard a sound from heaven like the roar of rushing waters and like a loud
peal of thunder. The sound I heard was like that of harpists playing their
harps. Revelation 14:2 (NIV)
"a sound from heaven... like a loud peal of thunder" - Is it really thunder?
Ascribe to the LORD the glory due his name;
worship the LORD in the splendor of his holiness. The voice of the LORD is over the waters;
the God of glory thunders, the LORD thunders over the mighty waters.
Psalm 29:2-3 (NIV)
"thunder" - The Voice of God.
To read again in:
Listen! Listen to the roar of his voice,
to the rumbling that comes from his mouth. He unleashes his lightning beneath the whole heaven
and sends it to the ends of the earth. After that comes the sound of his roar;
he thunders with his majestic voice. When his voice resounds, he holds nothing back.
God's voice thunders in marvelous ways; Job 37:2-5 (NIV)
God does great things beyond our understanding.
And they sang a new song before the throne and before the four living creatures
and the elders. No one could learn the song except the 144,000 who had been
redeemed from the earth. These are those who did not defile themselves with
women, for they kept themselves pure. They follow the Lamb wherever he goes.
They were purchased from among men and offered as first fruits to God and the
Lamb. No lie was found in their mouths; they are blameless. Revelation 14:3-5 (NIV)
"a new song"
- the true teaching of God being heard - it is different from the
teachings of the religions, that is why it is new.
"144,000 who had been redeemed from the earth"
- the first chosen ones of God.
"not defile themselves with women" - those who have come out of the religions...
"blameless" - Righteous, not perfect.
The Eternal Gospel
Then I saw another angel flying in midair, and he had the eternal gospel to
proclaim to those who live on the earth—to every nation, tribe, language and people.
Revelation 14:6 (NIV)
"eternal gospel" - The everlasting teaching from God brought by
"the foreigner"
for the people of the world to know and understand: there is only one God.
What is the "eternal gospel?"
He said in a loud voice, "Fear God and give him glory, because the
hour of his judgment has come. Worship him who made the heavens, the earth, the sea and the springs of water."
Revelation 14:7 (NIV)
The "eternal gospel" - is to
"fear God,” meaning, we should only worship and
obey God; not any other god which we have not known, including Jesus, who is but
a man.
A second angel followed and said, "Fallen! Fallen is Babylon the Great, which
made all the nations drink the maddening wine of her adulteries." Revelation 14:8 (NIV)
"Babylon" - The great harlot - then, who is the king of Babylon?
A third angel followed them and said in a loud voice: "If anyone worships the
beast and his image and receives his mark on the forehead or on the hand, he,
too, will drink of the wine of God's fury, which has been poured full strength
into the cup of his wrath. He will be tormented with burning sulfur in the
presence of the holy angels and of the Lamb. Revelation 14:9-10 (NIV)
“If anyone worships the beast and his image and receives his mark on the
forehead or on the hand” – the religions who have worshipped Jesus.
“he, too, will drink of the wine of God's fury” – the religions will receive
God’s fury.
"He will be tormented with burning sulfur” - this will be their punishment which
they will receive from God: they will be proven liars before the people of the
world, and they will be hated forever!
And the smoke of their torment rises forever and ever. There is no rest
day or night for those who worship the beast and his image, or for anyone
who receives the mark of his name." Revelation 14:11 (NIV)
"no rest day or night for those who worship the beast and his image" - they will
be punished and hated by the people whom they have deceived for a long time.
They will run but they can't hide forever.
Who did they worship?
“those who worship the beast and his image, or for anyone who receives the mark
of his name” – the religions worshipped Jesus and preached to the people “in the
name of Jesus!”
This calls for patient endurance on the part of the saints who obey God's
commandments and remain faithful to Jesus. Revelation 14:12 (NIV)
This is an instance where the people of the world were deceived; they say that
God and Jesus is the same or one. What does Maestro Evangelista reveal regarding
this verse? Ponder it.
"on the part of the saints" - which is different from those who
"remain faithful
to Jesus" - this is the time when we will witness two types of people: people
who obey God and those who are faithful to Jesus. THE BLESSING AND THE CURSE of
God.
Jesus is not God, and to believe in him is an offense to the true God. Whom
should you follow: God or Jesus?
For the first time in two thousand years, the line has been drawn, that there is
God, the true God and there is Jesus, a false god. Good and evil. The truth and
the lie. THE BLESSING AND THE CURSE. Choose, using your “Free will”!
Then I heard a voice from heaven say, "Write: Blessed are the dead
who die in the Lord from now on." "Yes," says the Spirit, "they will
rest from their labor, for their deeds will follow them." Revelation 14:13 (NIV)
This is the only time that we can say a man is blessed by God, not by Jesus. We
now know who is faithful and obedient to God and who is not. The people, who
have been beatified and/or canonized as saints by the religions before, are not
true saints. They martyred themselves for Jesus, who is not God!
I looked, and there before me was a white cloud, and seated on the cloud was one
"like a son of man" with a crown of gold on his head and a sharp sickle in his
hand. Revelation 14:14 (NIV)
"like a son of man" - Because
"the foreigner" will only carry on the work of
Jesus in making the people of the world know the true God and of His Great Name.
"a sharp sickle in his hand" – Symbolic of the authority of
“the foreigner” from
God.
Then another angel came out of the temple and called in a loud voice
to him who was sitting on the cloud, "Take your sickle and reap,
because the time to reap has come, for the harvest of the earth is ripe."
Revelation 14:15 (NIV)
"another angel" -
"the foreigner" will have other people to help him propagate the
true teaching of God.
So he who was seated on the cloud swung his
sickle over the earth, and the earth was harvested.
Revelation 14:16 (NIV)
What shall be harvested?
Another angel came out of the temple in heaven, and he too had a sharp sickle.
Still another angel, who had charge of the fire, came from the altar and called
in a loud voice to him who had the sharp sickle, "Take your sharp sickle and
gather the clusters of grapes from the earth's vine, because its grapes are
ripe." Revelation 14:17-18 (NIV)
"the earth's vine" - who are these that are to be harvested?
The vineyard of the LORD Almighty is the house of Israel,
and the men of Judah are the garden of his delight.
And he looked for justice, but saw bloodshed; for righteousness, but heard cries of distress.
Isaiah 5:7 (NIV)
"vineyard" – the people or house of Israel
"Judah" – the former people of God.
To continue with the reading:
The angel swung his sickle on the earth, gathered its grapes and threw
them into the great winepress of God's wrath. They were trampled in the winepress outside the city, and blood flowed out of the press,
rising as high as the horses' bridles for a distance of 1,600 stadia.
Revelation 14:19-20 (NIV)
"blood" - the day will be full of blood while the teaching of God is being
delivered by “the foreigner,” Maestro Eraño M. Evangelista. Wars and tumults will
start to happen.
