Be aware...The "mark of the beast" is entirely different than many have been taught to believe ...it is REAL, though

We need to continually mature in the Word of
God, as Children of the Kingdom, because a prime duty we presently have is to
show the falsity of the words of man. Do you need more understanding? Then
keep studying with your mind, really its OK, not only that, its required to
enter the Kingdom. Use your ‘forehead’. God Gave it to us to use, not to bang
it against a wall.

The “Mark of the beast” therefore is
to put the words of man, any man in the place of the will of Father. Study,
and do not be fooled by the man of sin, Satan himself, when he comes, for he
surely will.

Now, we see that IF the mark of Rev 13 was
totally physical, such as a credit card, digital or not, implanted in you or
not, tattooed on you or not, it BY ITSELF could not spiritually defile you to
God. This is plain by

Mark 7:

14 And when he had called all the people unto
him, he said unto them, Hearken unto me every one of you, and understand:

15 There is nothing from without a man, that
entering into him can defile him: but the things which come out of him, those
are they that defile the man. (KJV)

Things coming out of a man (originating inside
him) can defile him or not, depending on what their nature is. Thus it is the
mind, or seat of knowledge which is meant here in Mark. The seat of knowledge
of a Child of the Kingdom must belong only to God. His Holy Spirit dwells
there. The mind of another child can place things above God, and worship
(honor) other gods, (Satan).

This warning in Rev 13 is not just for some
future time. We are warned as early as the book of Exodus to not make gods of
gold (money, mammon etc.) This warning is oft repeated in the Gospels and
Epistles.

Our God is a Jealous God. He wants you to
remember where your blessings come from.

Now as you are well aware, we have to have
money to pay bills. Thats why the statement in the NT that the LOVE of money
is the root of all evil. We don’t worship money, we use it as a necessity. We
have to live in this world until He returns. We are to be good citizens of
the world, AS WELL as worthy citizens of the Kingdom of God. Just like Daniel
and His 3 friends were when in babylon.

They were slaves to the King of babylon, He
fed them and provided their sustenance, but never worshipped him as a god,
even in word. Thus, We must/will never bow down to worship other than God.
