Well, it is so splendid my dear Father ABBA that you have chosen another faithful vessel of an ambassador of you and your son Christ Jesus and the Holy Spirit to give a critical message about the Mark at this time of this generation and the hour being late. Dear Sergio thank you for doing such a subject and making it understandable when most things out there are complicated with argon not such as this laymen terms. Some of us fail English teaching in school and still struggle these days especially with spiritual scriptural matters.
I have used the term to some when commenting that they knocked it out of the park. For you I say you're the bat catcher that had had his holy bat catcher's glove vigilantly, vigilantly, posture ready on DEFCON 1 readiness and caught the truth words of the Father coming on the spiritual waves of his son's promised helper the Holy Spirit never picked up in that glove the filthy fluff of the enemy's false doctrine and gave the divine word for the sheep to so as stay ready and prepped to make sure we have the righteous worship sitting on the throne of our heart (ABBA). Bless be you and may Father and Christ and the Holy Spirit keep you spiritually sound and others pray for you in support.
Excellent work!! I read every word it was so well done. America is such an empire, and the time may soon come when we will have to choose whether to try and survive on our own, or take the mark in order to buy and sell. My personal belief, which I wholeheartedly believe scripture supports, is that the Church will be raptured before this happens. I know many Christians disagree.
That Greek word means “arrival.” Thats the Second Coming. The Rapture happens first, and Yeshua doesn’t touch down. He meets us in the clouds. Almost everyone dies during the Tribulation and all Christians who do not take the Mark will be killed. Rev. 3:10 tells us God is not going to let the Church die here.
I used to believe in the rapture also, as almost all pastors and wolves are teaching that false doctrine now, and hellywood movies. We are just trying to help others see also...not attacking you or your beliefs. So no one makes shipwreck due to thinking they will escape tribulation. The apostles were "raptured", one by one, when they became martyrs for our Lord. When I die, hallelujah by and by...I'll fly away. We must be always ready to suffer for Christ Jesus, and persevere to the end (of our lives) NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS. The pressure will be great, and those who believed in rapture may lose heart and fall away if not totally prepared. We share in love! I am so grateful I had brethren to pull me out of that deception, and praying for understanding, correcting those verses that were "leavened" purposely to mean different things, to deceive the sheep. And it has fooled millions, maybe more.
My fear is that should we be the generation that experiences the last events on the prophetic calendar that with the onset of the tribulation many dispensational types will lose heart, as their theology was amiss on the topic.
Please, I encourage you to listen to that young preacher
I’m not asserting heresy here, but I am challenging you on the scriptures
Want my interpretation? WHEN I DIE, hallelujah by and by...I'll fly away. DEATH is swallowed up in victory. Oh death where is thy sting. Oh grave, where is your victory? The last enemy to be abolished is death, and Jesus fulfilled that. So that now...to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord.
Good Luck?? Interesting. We don’t believe in luck. Please ask yourself why it bothers you that other people’s eschatology differs from yours. Why do you care?
Yes — “left behind” has been totally misunderstood. In Noah’s day, being left behind meant you survived under God’s protection; the ones taken were the ones judged.
Funny how it’s been reversed (Don’t tell Kirk Cameron) 😏
I got deceived by those movies, which all went right into the trash where they belong. I hope more do likewise, and realize that they came from HELLywood. I do believe that those left behind is where the eagles gather. (carcases). Thinking of Lot, where the angels couldn't do anything until Lot and his family were safely away.
Yes Joshua I get this a lot. I will never understand why Christians whose eschatology differs care to argue about it.
It’s what I choose to believe. I can cite just as many verses supporting my position. I don’t think this is something God would want us arguing about. Time will tell.
Because Jesus said, "Tell them, whether they will hear or whether they will forbear." Then the decision is up to them, and we've done what Jesus told us to do. I personally go by Joshua 24:15 - As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.
You can choose to believe it because it fits your comfort zone. The thought of being tortured to death for your beliefs would be a determining factor. Father ALWAYS takes His children THROUGH calamity not out of it. Spend a few federal reserve notes and obtain this book. I was at a conference Pastor Poch was at when I picked up my copy. He is right in every aspect and has proof to back it up. https://www.amazon.com/WANT-BEHIND-DEPTH-RAPTURE-Paperback/dp/0971911916
Again, I’ll repeat my question: Why do you care? It’s not a matter of Salvation, we all will go to our rooms in our Father’s House. Why does it bother you?
One answer is: Because if you listen to false teachers, and share any false doctrine, the Bible says the one who listens to them is as guilty as they are, and will receive the same punishments. So, it could be a dangerous salvation issue. And we are supposed to expose false teachers, so they don't take others away in false doctrine. We share in love
What do you see that is "bothering" me? You can believe all the false doctrine you desire. I have no issue with that. Unless you try to force it on me at gunpoint, we would get along just fine. What my experience has been is that when I am in a fellowship that is so steeped in Scofield/Darby nonsense, I am asked to leave if I call their belief into question. It has ALWAYS been that way. I've had people literally call me vile names because I believe the rapture to be totally made up BS taking verses totally out of context and acting like its some sort of reality. So KayAnne...be safe, be blessed and don't be surprised when I'm right. For you see KayAnne the Scofield Study Bible popularized the concept of the rapture, which is viewed by many of us as a false doctrine not explicitly supported by the Bible. We will debate that this idea, rooted in the teachings of John Nelson Darby, is a relatively new interpretation that diverges from traditional Christian beliefs. That's why I care. I take issue with false doctrine. It despises me. I wonder why? OH I KNOW!!! Because it FEMINIZES the FAITH of the FATHERS. Too much estrogen is in the church body these days KayAnne and not enough testosterone. Which is WHY MEN HATE GOING TO CHURCH! https://www.amazon.com/Why-Men-Hate-Going-Church/dp/078523215X
I am never worried! The worst thing that can happen to me is the BEST thing that can happen to me!! No offense taken and my God be with you as you press on in His service. 🙏
A very good website is safeguardyoursoul.com I learned a good deal about deceptions and he warns about many wolves in the pulpits, from Brother Todd. And sound biblical doctrines. Bless you, and we will all be praying for each other, as the family of God. The little flock, sharing in love and faith.
Very well written! I've been sharing this for years and I'm so glad to see your post. We are in Christ and we shall not worry about the mark. We are sealed in the Living God we have his mark we worship only him. Thank you so much and it's so awesome to see someone else explain what this is.
Sergio, I couldn't have said this better myself! You, I believe, are exactly on target with this. I've believed and thought this for years! It's great to read someone else has the same mindset! Thank you for posting this! Everyone is concerned about taking a literal mark on the forehead or hand. Christians say they won't do it. Indeed they wouldn't ever. The Evil one knows they won't. This is about what we set hands to do in the kingdom of God's purposes for us. It's about front of mind awareness, what we think and as a result, do. We are sealed by the Holy Spirit. That's not a number. The dragon wants us to be sealed by his spirit. Not a number. By our thoughts and actions we are pledging allegiance to one or the other by what we think and thus do. This is why it says "faith without works is dead". "You will be known by your fruits". Your thoughts will exemplify your actions. Allegiance to one or the other.
Thank you for this post. It’s always a comfort when God speaks. This past weekend, I was thinking about how much I struggle with the book of Revelation because I don’t understand. And then this morning I open my Substack to find this post which speaks to this book in a clear manner that resonates and strikes me as a sensible interpretation.
God is good.
Also, I am concerned about what is happening in America, and wondering how many white, Christian evangelicals are more loyal to Trump and the republican, MAGA cult than to Christ and the gospel.
Cap, you bring up a really sharp point — and I think it’s much needed. When people ask me what party I align with, I tell them I align with issues — like being pro-life and other biblical principles where Scripture makes it clear where I should stand. I don’t pledge allegiance to any public figure or politician, including pastors.
I’m also concerned, my friend, because we’ve grown comfortable idolizing the minuscule — magnifying the trivial while neglecting the eternal. I truly appreciate you taking the time to read and comment, my friend. I pray you have a blessed week.
That's what is sad...tare Christians who cannot see the wolves. And will accept and worship the one who comes in his own name. Praying they will "wake up" the right way...not the false woke crowd, but come out of deception. T-rump even said...rather slyly done...(Oh, shut up silly woman) "You knew I was a snake before you took me in." But I guess it went right over their heads. There are many antichrists...but only one Savior. Jesus Christ.
Once again I'm drawn to to the Hebraic understanding of Scripture. Rome is certainly a prototype of the many that come behind it. The world will continue to tug away at us no matter how loyal we are to Yeshua. As a matter of fact things will bode worse as time marches on. Let's stay in the trenches with each other as we look forward to being the Bride of Christ someday!
Well done. Any regenerate person--graced to be enthralled by the beauty of Christ, revealed in God's Word, opened-up by the Holy Spirit--will be led to the same general conclusion without the special knowledge of gematria, IMHO... but it's a nice bonus to know that they jibe.
Great insight and I see how it aligns with everything with one exception… The scripture still tells us that without this Mark we cannot ‘buy nor sell’. This edict cannot be enforced without some tangible Mark, which occurs outside of the realm of how we live our lives or what is in written on our hearts….
Great thoughts, seriously, I appreciate the way you’re thinking it through. The only spot where we land differently is the ‘buy or sell’ part. In the first-century world, that didn’t require a physical mark or tech. Economic exclusion already worked through allegiance. If you didn’t align with the emperor’s system, the guilds and marketplaces shut you out.
So Revelation isn’t pointing to a gadget or implant as much as the same ancient idea Scripture keeps using a ‘mark’ as a sign of loyalty. And the economic pressure is simply how that loyalty gets tested.
So yes, there’s enforcement… it just doesn’t have to be a literal object. The heart determines the mark, and the system exposes it. IMO
Sergio I'm so happy that you were sharing this. I've been sharing this for years 20 years. Nobody wants to listen to it they'd rather have the spectacular they'd rather believe all the other side of it that's going around. This is so much truth wrapped up in this it's amazing. And I don't know if you got to see the convention in 2014 of the Copeland's with Palmer in the Pope that's exactly what they were talking about without saying it that they wanted to become fully man. Anyway I'm so glad to see you sharing this this is one of the things I've been working on and people don't like it they don't want to accept it they'd rather believe that there's some chipper something that's going to send them to hell. Thank you for sharing this

Thank you :) I think it is coming quickly. We have become so arrogant in our endeavors. Truth...
Concur.
I can’t explain the dysfunction
Look up Jason Robinson on the topic
The parousia occurs at the last trumpet / on the last day of.
The church will experience the great tribulation. That’s what the bible clearly says.
That Greek word means “arrival.” Thats the Second Coming. The Rapture happens first, and Yeshua doesn’t touch down. He meets us in the clouds. Almost everyone dies during the Tribulation and all Christians who do not take the Mark will be killed. Rev. 3:10 tells us God is not going to let the Church die here.
Dear KayAnne
This is what you have been taught, but it is in error. Go back and read those prophetic verses again and reflect.
Here’s a helpful link for good instruction:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nbLYrrHGO0w
Why do you care if my eschatology differs from yours? I wasn’t “taught” the Rapture, I read it in The Bible.
I used to believe in the rapture also, as almost all pastors and wolves are teaching that false doctrine now, and hellywood movies. We are just trying to help others see also...not attacking you or your beliefs. So no one makes shipwreck due to thinking they will escape tribulation.

I tried to pull up the video, but it’s saying restricted
You will have to deal with your own fear. I have none.
Good luck with the false doctrine of the rapture. As a matter of fact, can you show me the word in the whole of scripture? https://www.amazon.com/WANT-BEHIND-DEPTH-RAPTURE-Paperback/dp/0971911916
Want my interpretation? WHEN I DIE, hallelujah by and by...I'll fly away. DEATH is swallowed up in victory. Oh death where is thy sting. Oh grave, where is your victory?

ἁρπαγησόμεθα
Thank you. I’ll be hanging on to a solid object with my feet up above me screaming LEAVE ME HERE! I want to KICK THEIR REARS, LORD.
Good Luck?? Interesting. We don’t believe in luck. Please ask yourself why it bothers you that other people’s eschatology differs from yours. Why do you care?
Yes — “left behind” has been totally misunderstood. In Noah’s day, being left behind meant you survived under God’s protection; the ones taken were the ones judged.

Many things are reversed in our time !
I got deceived by those movies, which all went right into the trash where they belong. I hope more do likewise, and realize that they came from HELLywood. I do believe that those left behind is where the eagles gather. (carcases). Thinking of Lot, where the angels couldn't do anything until Lot and his family were safely away.
Romans 12:12
Rejoicing in hope; patient in TRIBULATION ; continuing instant in prayer;
Yes Joshua I get this a lot. I will never understand why Christians whose eschatology differs care to argue about it.
It’s what I choose to believe. I can cite just as many verses supporting my position. I don’t think this is something God would want us arguing about. Time will tell.

Amen! We are building the Ekklesia my friend! Love your perspective!
I find this very interesting and enlightening.
You see, I’ve always thought “the mark of the beast” wasn’t a physical mark.
I believed the mark on our forehead was reflected in our beliefs/thoughts and the mark on the hand was known by our fruit.
Thank you.
Very well explained
Exodus 13:16 vs Revelation 13:16
The mark of YHWH vs the mark of the beast

Wow.
Just, wow.
Your post made me think of digital ID honestly - the next thing, like the parchments of old.
How long can people hold out?
How long can I?
I fear I know the answer.
"It’s not a code to decode; it’s a pattern to discern." Profound.
