Revelation 13:16-17

Several years back there was an e-mail circulating with a Powerpoint presentation about Mondex and their “bio-chip”. It was well meaning but had one huge embarrassing error in it. While the presentation is now probably out of date in terms of its usefulness, this does illustrate an important point: Bible believers need to use truth not error to win others.

Note the underlined word in the verses quoted in the presentation (Revelation 13:16-17):

He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, 17 and 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.

But in the King James Bible that we are yet to find any errors in it says:

And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: 17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

There’s a big difference. You can see which one is right. You might want to do what we did – ditch any Bible that doesn’t tell the truth – they are part of Satan’s conspiracy of lies. There’s one Bible in English that doesn’t lie or leave out bits – use it.

If you have a copy of the Powerpoint presentation about Mondex we suggest you amend your presentations – it’s very easy to do. [You can all copy and paste, and save.]

Meantime, folks, we should remember our chief mission as believers is to reach people for Christ. If they turn to Him now they’ll never see the situation arise where people have to go through a Luciferian initiation [“worship the beast” see Revelation chapters 13 & 14] in order to take that mark. If they don’t turn to Christ now, there’s a high probability that they won’t later [see 2 Thes 2:8-12]

But for those who do turn to Christ after the Rapture has taken place there are 2 specific requirements placed on them according to the Bible:

1. They must NEVER, on any account, accept the “mark of the beast“.

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

2. They must always help and side with God’s people, the Jews.

Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink? When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee? 39 Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee? 40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me. (Matt 25:31-46)
