The Creator/God told the Israelites
“You must apply these
words of mine to your heart and soul and bind them as a sign upon your hand,
and they serve as a frontlet band between your eyes.” Deuteronomy
11:18
In the Bible, this was a Law that the Israelites were
commanded to keep. They were to remember it constantly, and allow
it to influence all their thoughts and actions. They showed others, by their
actions and personalities, to be worshipers
and consecrated spiritual servants of the Creator/God. Those who had this law in their heart
typically spoke of it often, both to help themselves, and to teach others.
And it must serve for
you as a sign upon your hand and as a memorial between your eyes, in order that
God’s law may prove to be in your mouth; because by a strong hand God brought
you out of Egypt. Exodus 13:9
As time passed, the spirit of this law was lost; it was no longer spoken of,
nor was the law in the hearts of the most people.
As a result, some began to make and wear
phylacteries * on their forehead and/or on their LEFT hand.
These
phylacteries were worn as a constant visual reminder of ones personal
obligation to the Creator/God; they were always worn when reading the law, and
during prayer.
And it must serve as a
sign upon your hand and as a frontlet band between your eyes, because by
strength of hand God brought us out of Egypt.” Exodus 13:16
There are several other scriptures, in the Bible, which
speak of symbolic sacred marks/signs of dedication. All of these marks symbolized dedication to
the Creator/God and served as reminders
to continuously serve him. (Exodus
28:36-38, 39:30, Deuteronomy 6:6-8, Isaiah 44:5 , 49:16, Revelation 7:2-5, 14:1)
Not to be outdone, the (D)evil implemented his own law; a
law that very closely imitates the Creator’s/God’s Law. To wage war with the holy ones and accomplish his
mission, he also uses a mark on the forehead or hand,. The demonic mark of the wild beast on the forehead or
RIGHT hand symbolizes devotion, giving attention to, and/or active support to the wild beast.
This biblical
wild beast has a name, and its name is actually a number: 666.
Some believe that 666 signifies some form
of compulsory tattoo; the bible itself tells us that this is
untrue.
Under Mosaic Law, Israelites
were prohibited from tattooing humans. Leviticus 19:28
Others believe that it signifies some type of implanted
identification, like a microchip. This
also is untrue; however, as we will soon discover via the Obamacare Health Plan,
it may, in fact, be utilized in the near future as a tool used by the wild
beast to help accomplish the (D)evil’s mission.
These interpretations are very different from what the
Bible itself says about the mark of the wild beast. The Creator/God, the
very personification of love and the
Source of spiritual light, has not kept his servants in the dark regarding this matter.
All Scripture is
inspired of God and beneficial for teaching, for reproving, for setting things
straight, for disciplining in righteousness. 2 Timothy 3:16
And this is the message which we have
heard from him and are announcing to you, that God is
light and there is no darkness at all in union with him. 1 John 1:5
Names serve as a source of identification. The Apostle John says
that the number 666 is a man’s number,
not a spirit person; this helps to confirm that the wild beast is from the earthly
realm, not the spiritual realm.
In his eighth vision, John sees how the (D)evil maneuvers
man-made, political systems (kingdoms) to claim universal jurisdiction over all
people, and compels them to do his will.
“And it puts under compulsion all persons, the small and the great, and the
rich and the poor, and the free
and the slaves, that they should give these a mark in their right hand or upon
their forehead, and that nobody might
be able to buy or sell except a person having the mark, the name of the wild
beast or the number of its name. Here is where wisdom comes in: Let the one
that has intelligence calculate the number of the wild beast, for it is a man’s number; and
its number is six hundred and sixty-six.” Revelation 13:16-18
It is generally agreed that the world’s political systems,
under the guises of big politics,
mainstream religion and big business (including banks, as well as the insurance
and health care industries), wield universal jurisdiction via supreme human
rulership/wordly power. Although full consensus
has yet to be attained, it is also generally agreed upon that the world’s
political systems, assist the (D)evil by functioning as the wild beast.
In an effort to create maximum human suffering, universal
jurisdiction extends to cover all aspects of our everyday lives. Universal
jurisdiction includes, but is not limited to:
- endorsement
of abusive indulgences
- consumerism
and materialism
- violent
persecutions and prohibitions
- food
supply
- employment
and finances
- health
care
- environment
- ability
to buy and/or sell
- education
- acts
of oppression
- promoting
divisions and maintaining duality
It (universal jurisdiction) is a spiritual ploy used to draw
people away from worshiping the Creator/God, and to subject people to the will
and control of this man-made political system.
It’s number one ally is fear. Making people support and slave for the wild beast, is a cruel use of power.
Those having the mark
of the wild beast, whether
on the RIGHT hand or on the forehead,
publicly identify themselves as one who supports the
beastlike political systems of the
world, and therefore are as slaves to it. Oftentimes, when we bear the mark of the wild
beast, we look to it (the political system) to protect and save us (from the
wild beast itself). Remember it’s number
one ally is fear.
It is prudent to ask ourselves, will it really save us? The Apostle John tells us that those
receiving the mark of
the beast on their forehead or on
their RIGHT hand are in line for destruction. Whenever we worship the wild
beast, we are in direct opposition to the Creator/God, for the
wild beast receives its authority from the
(D)evil.
Accepting the mark of the wild beast
on our RIGHT hand or upon our forehead is akin to allowing the
wild beast to affect our thinking and control our
actions.
We are both legally and spiritually obligated to subject ourselves
willingly to government authority, other public officials and authority figures
(1 Peter 2:13-18, Romans 13:1, 5-7) however, when authorities command us to act
contrary to God’s law, we “obey God as
ruler rather than men.” Acts 5:29
Throughout history, those who have refused to accept the mark of
the wild beast, have faced many problems.
It takes great determination to remain clean and pure, and trust that
the Creator/God will protect and save us from the wild beast.
The world is a difficult place for those who do not have the mark
of the wild beast; it takes great faith and self-discipline to endure.
Despite any hardships we may encounter in
carrying out our everyday activities, we should not allow ourselves to be
pressured into letting the wild beast
rule our lives by affecting our thinking and/or controlling our actions. Those
who gain victory over the wild beast glorify the Creator/God. Understanding
what the wild beast is, helps us so that we neither follow it with admiration,
worship it, or support it.
May One/ALL choose to worship the Creator/God, and refuse to receive
the mark of the wild beast. May we use
our lives and assets in support of the Creator’s/God’s government/kingdom,
serving its interest, not the interests of an earthly government/kingdom. Psalm 34:1-3, Romans 14:7-8
Let our hearts be filled with the word of the Creator/God. Lay up these
words in your hearts, as in a store-house, to be used upon all occasions. Let
our eyes be fixed upon the word of the
Creator/God: Bind them for a sign upon your hand, which is always in view, and
as frontlets between your eyes, which you cannot avoid the sight of. Let our
tongues be employed about the word of the Creator/God, remind them of their
duty, to love and serve the Divine Light/Jesus. ~ via Anonymous
So it is, sealed in trust, faith
and truth, in the Sacred Divine Light (Jesus Christ). Amen

* Phylacteries
It was customary to use phylacteries long before Moses
entered Egypt. It is unknown whether Moses
adopted this custom or not. It is
biblically logical to assume, that if he did, he would have explained to the people
the difference between phylacteries and amulets. Some modern day Israelites still
wear phylacteries; those that do, generally allege this precept as a justification
for their continued use.
So, what exactly are phylacteries? Phylacteries were generally made to be worn
on the forehead or the LEFT hand, and served as constant visual reminders of
ones personal obligation to the Creator/God.
It is important to remember that the overall purpose of phylacteries were to enable
the wearer to eventually receive the words into their heart and soul, and visibly
display their servanthood to the Creator/God, by their own words and actions.
“… apply these words
of mine to your heart and soul and bind them as a sign upon your hand, and they
serve as a frontlet band between your eyes.” Deuteronomy 11:18
Phylacteries worn on the forehead (the frontlets) consisted of
a single piece of skin or leather which
rested on the forehead, between the eyes, and tied at the back of the
head.
One side of the skin/leather, consisted
of four individual compartments.
Each compartment
held a rolled piece of papyrus or parchment.
One of four, specific Mosaic text were transcribed on each rolled piece
of papyrus/parchment.
Those which were designed for the hand, consisted of one
piece of rolled papyrus/parchment, This
papyrus/parchment was divided up into four column. One of four, specific Mosaic texts were
transcribed onto each column, The papyrus/parchment was then rolled and tied much
like a bracelet, on the inside of the LEFT wrist, nearest the heart.
The first compartment/column consisted of
Exodus 13:2-10
“Sanctify to me
every male firstborn that opens each womb among the sons of Israel, among men
and beasts. It is mine.”
And
Moses went on to say to the people: “Let there be a remembering of this day on which you
went out of Egypt, from the house of slaves, because by strength of hand God
brought you out from here. So nothing leavened may be eaten. Today you are going out in the month of A′bib. And it must occur
that when God will have brought you into the land of the Ca′naan·ites and the
Hit′tites and the Am′or·ites and the Hi′vites and the Jeb′u·sites, which he
swore to your forefathers to give you, a land flowing with milk and honey, then
you must render this service in this month. Seven days you are to eat
unfermented cakes,and on the seventh day is a festival to God. Unfermented
cakes are to be eaten for the seven days; and nothing leavened is to be seen
with you, and no sourdough is to be seen with you within all your boundaries. And
you must tell your son on that day, saying, ‘It is because of that which God
has done to me when I came out of Egypt.’And it must serve for you as a sign
upon your hand and as a memorial between your eyes, in order that God’s law may
prove to be in your mouth; because by a
strong hand God brought you out of Egypt. And you must keep this statute at its
appointed time from year to year.
The second compartment/column consisted of
Exodus 13:11-16
And
it must occur that when God brings you into the land of the Ca′naan·ites, just
as he has sworn to you and to your forefathers, and when he does give it to
you, then you must devote everyone that opens the
womb to God, and every firstling, the young of a beast, which will come to be
yours. The males belong to God. And every firstling ass you are to redeem with
a sheep, and if you will not redeem it, then you must break its neck. And every
firstborn of man among your sons you are to redeem.
And
it must occur that in case your son should inquire of you later on, saying,
‘What does this mean?’ then you must say to him, ‘By strength of hand God
brought us out of Egypt, from the house of slaves. And it came about that
Phar′aoh showed obstinacy toward sending us away, and God proceeded to kill
every firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of man to the
firstborn of beast. That is why I am sacrificing to God all the males that open
the womb, and every firstborn of my sons I redeem.’ And it must serve as a sign
upon your hand and as a frontlet band between your eyes, because by strength of
hand God brought us out of Egypt.
The third compartment/column consisted of
Deuteronomy
6:4-9
Listen,
O Israel: Jehovah our God is one Jehovah. And you must love Jehovah your God
with all your heart and all your soul and all your vital force. And these words
that I am commanding you today must prove to be on your heart; and you must
inculcate them in your son and speak of them when you sit in your house and
when you walk on the road and when you lie down and when you get up. And you
must tie them as a sign upon your hand, and they must serve as a frontlet band
between your eyes; and you must write them upon the doorposts of your house and
on your gates.
The fourth and final compartment/column consisted of
Deuteronomy
11:13-21
And
it must occur that if you will without fail obey my
commandments that I am commanding you today so as to
love Jehovah your God and to serve him with all your heart and all your soul, I also
shall certainly give rain for your land at its appointed
time, autumn rain and spring rain, and you will indeed gather your grain and
your sweet wine and your oil. And I shall certainly
give vegetation in your field for your domestic animals, and you will indeed
eat and be satisfied. Watch out for yourselves for fear your
heart may be enticed, and you do turn aside and worship
other gods and bow down to them, and God’s anger
does blaze against you, and he does shut up the heavens
so that no rain will occur and the ground will not give its produce and you have to perish speedily from off the good land that God is
giving you.
And you must apply these words of mine to your
heart and your soul and bind them as a sign upon your hand, and they must serve as a frontlet band between your eyes. You must also teach them to your sons, so as to speak of them when you sit in your house
and when you walk on the road and when you lie down and when you get up. And
you must write them upon the doorposts of your house and on your gates, in order that your days and the
days of your sons may be many on the soil that God swore
to your forefathers to give to them, as the days of the
heavens over the earth.
