Hello World:
Here I am continuing from the previous post follow-up in which I was talking about the chip implant and the mark of the beast. I referenced Revelation chapter 13 several times before, I presented, in the previous post, some views that others have concerning the specific description of the mark. I want to examine the mark and views further right here.
There is a debate where the scriptures mention the term "in", as to where or how the mark or number of the beast will be located after enforcement upon the human body. Some people believe that the term actually means on, and not actually inside of the hand or forehead. The reason, it is believed that other scriptures suggest that the "mark" is a bar-code or tattoo that will be visible to the eye, and hence could not be actually inside the skin of the hand or forehead, because then it could not be visible.
So, there is a small debate as to whether it is in or inside which is not visible, or "on" the skin and be visible like a tattoo. The term "on" has some relation to "in", but in is a little more definitive, as I will explain below.
In briefly reviewing the other views that are out there concerning the mark, again, some believe it is money, others say the six-pointed star and others say it is a conscience choice of the mind and the actual physical follow through of doing financial business with that choice, symbolic of using the right hand for a majority of the population.
There are others who believe the mark of the beast is not or has nothing to do with chip implants. As, I said before, all these views should be thought about.
One thing I want to do is examine what the scriptures of Revelation Chapter 13: Verse 16 says about the term "in" or in. There are several definitions of in, but the term in, in that scripture signifies a position or location of something or in this case the mark of the beast, name of the beast or number of his name.
Therefore if the mark is in, it is more likely to be located inside of the hand or forehead. According to the specificity of the scripture, it is not on the outside of the right hand or forehead, but in. That seemingly being the case, the mark of the beast would not be visible to the eye, which would signify it not being on the outside of the skin position like a tattoo.
Now, I want to emphasize according to the scripture terminology, that the mark is "more likely" in or underneath the skin, unlike a tattoo which is on the skin. Although, I am not totally ruling out that the mark of the beast could still be a tattoo. I am just pointing out what looks "more likely".
Also, some claim that the mark of the beast is money, some say that it is money, because the American one-dollar bill has the six-pointed star, and others say it is the six-pointed star all by itself. In my view, I do not believe that the mark is money itself for several reasons. First, according to scriptures, that tangible interpretation does not make sense, since you generally do not have money placed in your skin or underneath your skin or in your forehead. Also, all money all over the world does not have a six-pointed star on it.
Another thing, money was around and used long before the prophecy of the mark of the beast. Back during Jesus time, his followers used money, Jesus used money, He talked about the widows mite or her giving her last to the treasury of the synagogue.
Therefore, if money was the mark of the beast Jesus certainly would have said something about it, and stayed clear of it. With that said, money could still be a part of the mark of the beast, however, in its past and present state of this post, it could not be.
The six-pointed star, could be the mark of the beast. However, the six-pointed star to be the actual mark would primarily have to be worn as a tattoo in or on the right hand or forehead. So, the possibility is there. I do not want to go into the six-pointed star too much yet, but from my research it is an occult symbol and (emphasis on quoted phrase>)"from the way it has been used by mankind" not of God like people think. I will talk about that later.
Going back to the view of the mark of the beast being a conscience choice of the mind, to follow the beast and physically conform to his system, to me has some validity; but still does not appear to be the actual mark of the beast. People will worship the beast in taking part in his system, mark, name, and number. To worship something, you have to consciencely make the choice in your mind.
According the scriptures surrounding the mark of the beast and the beast himself, he will require people to worship him, and people will do just that. I have more to say about chip implants and the mark. So, because of post length here I will continue the implant and mark discussion in the next post.

Chip Implant Or Mark Of The Beast
Hello World:
Yes, I am continuing to do follow-ups. In the book of Revelation Chapter 13 the scriptures discuss receiving a mark "in the right hand, or in the forehead, paraphrasing mostly, but quoting the "in" part. The chapter also discusses every person having a mark, the name of the beast, or the number of the beast which is 666.
Okay I want to elaborate on the mark of the beast. There are some who claim to know exactly or specifically what the mark of the beast is. In other words, what physical or tangible object it is. I do not know specifically what it is or what it looks like. I only know what the scriptures specifically says about it, and I will discuss that here shortly.
Several people have claimed that God has shown them or revealed to them what the mark of the beast is. I do want to talk about that. There is one person, who claims to know specifically what the mark is, "he" claims it is already being used by people. "He" says it is not chip implants, which is possible, which I will discuss. However, the "guy" is selling the information in a book. There is where I have a problem with that.
If you supposedly heard from the Lord what the mark of the beast is, and God told you to tell people you should not sell that information. Books are okay, and I can understand that people need to make money, but because of the critical nature of the subject of the mark of the beast on people's lives, people should not have to pay money for that critical revelation. People do not have to pay money for every revelation that a person gets from God.
Everybody can not afford to buy every book that comes out, and everybody do not read every book that comes out. That includes yours. So, by doing that, you are excluding alot of people in the world. If you were of God, and you want souls to be saved you would announce what the mark of the beast is for free to help people avoid eternal hell.
If I knew specifically what the mark was and, very importantly, God told me to say something, I would announce it for free without charging people. I do believe that people and especially ministers of God should make money, because they are human and have needs and have to make a "decent" living.
I do not want to go into giving right here, but will discuss that further in a different post probably in 2009. However, for me personally, I would do most things for God without intent to make monetary profit. I do that here blogging. I do not mind not making money while I am ministering.
Yes, I would like to make money while ministering, but for me, I am not doing God's work for the sole purpose or goal of money. Again, I plan to revisit giving and ministers making money at a later date so please do not jump to conclusions as to what I am saying about what should be or should not be the right thing to do in making money while ministering.
In continuing on the subject of the mark, there are other people who claim to know what the mark is and they are talking about it for free. Some claim that it is money. Others claim that it is the six-pointed star. I will, hopefully, discuss the six-pointed star in a later post.
Some claim that it is money because the six-pointed star is on the back of the American dollar, above the eagle. Some claim that the mark of the beast is actually a conscience choice of the mind, represented by the forehead in scripture, and physically conforming to do business transactions representative of the right hand. Those are all very interesting views to think about or to consider.
I am going to have to stop here and continue talking about the mark of the beast and those views in the next post. After which, I want to say some more about the antichrist. So, I still have a few follow-ups to go, and do not want the posts being too long. I might carry them into the new year.

More 2008 Heaven Series Explanations
Hello World:
I am providing more follow-ups to the previous series on Heaven and would like to follow-up on that Rapture series. As I was saying before that there are alot of people up in Heaven. However, again, there are more people who miss Heaven than there are who get to Heaven. The number of people in Heaven is unknown to everybody at this time.
It must be noted that every year, and at any given specific time period, only a very few make it to Heaven. However, as I said previously you have to compile up the numbers of people over time, and you can then gather over time that those few all-together equals to alot or many. Not a majority, but "alot". In other words not just one person, two people, or 50 people. Also, I am talking about over the time span of 6 million years of human history. The number of people over that "span of time" is alot.
Another thing, the Jehovahs Witness religious denomination teaches in their doctrine that only 144,000 will be worthy to go to Heaven. I have to say that, that can NOT be correct for various reasons. 144,000 people is alot of people to us from a human standpoint. However, from God's standpoint, even though that is alot, it is not enough for Him.
Again, I estimated by percentages in my previous post. However, here the Jehovah Witnesses give a exact number based on the book of Revelation. The 144,000 mentioned in Revelation is only one group of people that will be Heaven. So, there are other groups of people in Heaven besides the 144,000, and the book of Revelation says that which I pointed out in the series. Also, when you carefully examine using that number you see that that is placing a limit on how many people God can hold up in Heaven, or how many people Heaven can hold.
We should not limit God with just 144,000. We have stadiums built by man that hold over a 144,000 people, so we need to understand that God in all His power and glory in creating the universe can build a place that holds "way" more people than these stadiums built by frail men. God is greater and God is bigger. God does big things, and His big things are bigger than man's things. Heaven is one of those things that is bigger than what man can build.
It is "like" what the Jehovah Witnesses are saying is that if God put 144,001 persons in Heaven it would become over-crowded. 144,000+1 person may cause the floor of Heaven to crack. Or, maybe 144,010 will be too much weight, or even 150,000 and Heaven will start to suffer severe structural damage? How about if God doubled the first number to 288,000 people, then that would be way too much and all of Heaven would collapse? When you think about these things and some of these doctrines that come out of these religions, you have to say wait a minute. God has more sense than that. Now, other than what I said here about the 144,000 group that will go to Heaven, I possibly will explain or want to explain more about that group in a later post.
Again, man has built stadiums that holds more than 144,000 people, as I mentioned above. I researched and found two sports structures built by man that has a "seating capacity", of over 200,000 people, and that does not take into account the standing room. One of the structures is a stadium in Prague, Czech Republic. There is another 200,000 plus structure in the United States. The information is from other sources I have researched. There is another stadium in North Korea that holds up to 150,000.
So, because of those structures to us are large, again, can we say that man can outbuild God? Think about it. Not! Just like God creating the earth, which currently holds 6 billion people, God already has created a Heavenly place that can outhold anything man can build. Man will never outdo or out-think God. God's intelligence is immeasurable. He is super-smart beyond our comprehension. Also, God knows how to expand Heaven.
Moving in a slighty different portion of my follow-ups, I said before in the 2008 Heaven series. Do not expect to live your life ignoring God, only pleasing yourself, mistreating other people, stepping all over people, and when you are about to die, you decide to get it right with God and expect on your deathbed you will make it to Heaven. NOT! God does not bail people out of their foolishness because they are dying or get caught. I feel led of the Lord to say this, and this is one of the core things to my follow-ups.
Heaven is not for the "Johnny come lately" types, who purposely lived against God, but in their final hours of breath want to get in. A couple of things. You can get saved on your deathbed. However, depending on YOUR HEART if you "really believe" and "really mean what you say" when you confess determines if God will reject you, and where you "actually" will wind up in eternity. Are you "really" repentant? What would you "really" do if God performed a miracle and allowed you to live and not die, or survive that tragedy or not go to prison? If you got back your health, power or success will you act like a evil fool again? God sees all of that about a person beyond their confession.
There is a group of people, who purposely wait until the end of their life to ask God to forgive them, who God forgives but they do not go to Heaven. They will have to "wait" until God's kingdom is established on earth, and then they will live in that part of God's kingdom on earth. Also, I want to stress living in God's kingdom on earth, and "NOT" reigning in it, like God's faithful elect. So, do not get the wrong idea, that you are going to be some king or prince like God's faithful.
I want people to really understand this very important thing, as to what I am saying. Being saved or born-again is more involved than the confession. Confession "to JESUS" is a big part of it, but surrendering your heart to Jesus is also a big part of it; and you have to live a Godly life and do God's will, point blank!
People can and have conscientiously came out of a life of wickedness, hatefulness and rebellion. They get saved by acknowledgement and confessing to "Jesus" and changing their lives to live for God and loving others. However, you do not do that "only" because you got caught; nor do you do that because you got bored; nor do you do that because you are about to die, and you think; "ha, ha, I am going to get out of being punished for all the mess and horrors I inflicted upon people". God was not your priority then, and He still is not your priority.
I want to end this post with two scripture references, and I will have more explanations to come.
Scripture Reference 1 Peter Chapter 4: Verse 18; "And if the righteous(or those already living right for God) scarecely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?"
This next scripture I mentioned before in other post topics, but I feel led of the Lord to mention it again in this post.
Scripture Reference St. Matthew Chapter 7: Verse 21; "Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of Heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in Heaven."

Additional 2008 Heaven Follow-Up
Hello World:
In this post and the next post after this, I want to do some follow-ups from some things in my 2008 Heaven series. I am thinking as this 2008 year is starting to come to an end, that I will actually start slowing down further on my number of post. I also believe that my post will get shorter when I do post. That is what I am believing, but we will see. This slower and shorter pace, I think will carry well into the 2009 year. So, basically I am trying to see if I can post less.
On to the follow-ups. Firstly, it is very possible that I could have another Heaven series, that would be different from the first one. So, do not be surprised if you see me talking about Heaven again. I feel led of the Lord to repeat some things here from the Heaven Series. Although everybody or person will not get to Heaven or go to Heaven and stay there, there are alot of people up in Heaven.
Now, in the past, before I was blogging and before I was born, there have already been alot of people who did not make it to Heaven, and in reverse, there have been alot of people who again made it to Heaven. So basically, what I am saying is nothing new, and has happened before my time.
Now, even though there is alot of people up in Heaven, in using the term of "alot", alot is relative to over a lengthy period of time of compiling numbers of people who have lived, and knowing what I know of God, human historical behavior and testimonies from people. Anyone can clearly say truthfully, that 100 percent of the human population that has ever lived, based upon the factors I mentioned above, did not make it to Heaven. Anyone can also say truthfully, off of estimation, that everybody who has lived and died are also not all in hell.
If I was asked, I would "estimate" knowing the things that I know, I would say that a super majority, of people, over the course of time have missed Heaven. What I mean by a super majority is over 60-percent of the human race. So, as time has gone by, the percentages over time of people going to Heaven, and when I say going to Heaven I mean to stay, has been less than 30-percent. Those are my estimations. I would also say that I believe my estimations to be close to exact, and if not exact, the exact numbers would be less than my estimations "NOT" favoring on the side of people going to Heaven.
In throwing in those estimated percentages, some people will say well I am speculating, and I really do not know. Well, I do not know the exact numbers, and do not claim to know the exact numbers. However, I do know God, and I do know from my research of human beings and even living today, how people have lived and live in disobedience and rebellion towards God.
I also, want to convey this message of God, that Heaven is not a place for just anybody or everybody who has lived and acted a fool, or who has committed evil, wickedness and disobedience to Him. Heaven is not a place for people who do not even acknowledge God everyday, or those who ignore God or pay Him no mind. What I just described is the majority of the human race. I want to close here temporarily and continue the follow-ups in the next post. As I continue to post the follow-ups, I will more likely use a different post title, but the follow-ups will still relate to the previous two series.
In this post and the next post after this, I want to do some follow-ups from some things in my 2008 Heaven series.
