Man of Sin (3) - Part 25 of Riddles, Enigmas & Esoteric Imagery of Revelation


When we were last together we continued our study of the identity of the Man of Sin, as revealed by the Apostle Paul in his prophecy recorded in II Thessalonians Chapter 2. The subject of Paul's prophecy is...concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him...verse 1.

The believers he is speaking to wanted to know when Jesus would return for them, so Paul is explaining...that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition...verse 3. Then Paul says...and now you know what is restraining, that he may be revealed in his own time...verse 6.

If we keep Paul's prophecy in context, with the subject of his message the return of Jesus, we will understand that he is delineating to the believers...what is restraining, that he may be revealed in his own time.  Jesus is being restrained from returning, because the falling away has not as yet occurred, and the Man of Sin has not been revealed when Paul spoke this prophecy.

The Apostle Paul continues to describe "what is restraining" the return of Jesus Christ in verse 7 & 8...for the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only he who now restrains will do so until he is taken out of the way...and then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the breath of His mouth and destroy with the brightness of His coming.

Twenty five years ago, when my prayer partner and editor of my manuscript first discussed Paul's prophecy, which had been misinterpreted in the commentary of the Scofield  Study Bible, and countless others that copied from him, she said, "Studying this prophecy contextually and diagramming the sentences correctly sheds light on the truth of the message. But, hearing the false interpretation of it in every church I have attended, has created a groove - deep rut - that is hard to fill in with the truth that I now see. When you hear only one end time doctrine over and over your whole Christian life, it is challenging to replace it - even with the truth - it feels awkward."

Let's summarize what Paul has said so far.

1.    Who is restrained? -- Jesus Christ
2.    What is restraining? -- falling away and the Man of Sin - lawless one
3.    Who will be revealed in his own time? -- Jesus Christ

According to Paul's prophecy, the mystery of lawlessness was already at work in his society. This lawlessness would define the Man of Sin, who will restrain the return of Jesus Christ -- until the Man of Sin is taken out of the way...who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God...verse 4.

The falling  away must come first - what does this mean? It means that believers will abandon the faith of their forefathers - apostasy. While every era of history records great apostasy, including the 21st century, never in recorded history has there ever been a protracted falling away of the faith, than during the thousand-year reign of the Holy Roman Empire -- Dark Ages.

No one will understand the identity of Man of Sin...until he is taken out of the way...verse 7.  How is he taken out of the way? The Man of Sin...the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the breath of His mouth and destroy with the brightness of His coming...verse 8. What does this mean?

The Man of Sin will be taken out of the way because he will be consumed with the breath of God's mouth. When God speaks - breath of His mouth - it is His word that comes forth to our ears. The great Reformation was kindled because the truth (breath) of God's word was revealed and received by the spiritually ignorant  populous for the first time in a thousand years. While faithful believers had preached God's truth during this protracted period of apostasy, it was not time for God to expose the Man of Sin until 1517.

The preaching of the gospel by God's very brave servants, symbolized the 'breath of His mouth' by the truth they were speaking in God's stead. Jesus called men to preach His word, which will reveal and consume, false religious doctrines - light of the truth extinguishes the darkness of lies.

What did Paul mean in this prophecy when he said the lawless one will be revealed and...the Lord will...destroy with the brightness of His coming? Stay tuned...

Man of Sin (2) - Part 24 of Riddles, Enigmas & Esoteric Imagery of Revelation

 
When we were last together we began our study of the identity of the Man of Sin...who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God...II Thes. 2:4. Since this extensive study reveals historical documentation that proves the majority of John's visions have been fulfilled, there is one empire that fulfills this prophecy - the Holy Roman Empire's 1000-year reign as God on Earth.
 
In this prophecy, the Apostle Paul says that the Man of Sin...sits as God in the temple of God. Where is the temple that the Man of Sin sits as God? Once we define the word temple our understanding will be enlightened. The word temple in the original Greek language is vaos meaning:  to dwell in the sacred place; Holy of Holies - where God dwells.
 
The Apostle Paul asked new believers...do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?...I Cor. 3:16. When Jesus Christ became the blood sacrifice for the sins of mankind, He offered men the opportunity to become the temple or dwelling place of God forever - but men must choose to allow God into his heart and become the place - where God dwells. There will never again be a temple made by the hands of men - bricks & mortar - where God will dwell. God does not regress.
 
During the 1000-year reign of the Holy Roman Empire the leadership taught the spiritually ignorant masses that the Pope was the temple of God, showing himself to be God - an act reserved for God alone in the Holy of Holies. The scriptures clearly reveal that a believer in Jesus Christ becomes the temple of God. But the false religious doctrine of the Holy Roman Empire taught that God resided in the Pope, so the people must come to him for atonement for their sins - thus he became the temple of God that Paul is talking about.
 
No wonder the thousand-year reign of the Holy Roman Empire was dubbed with the not so eloquent euphemism - Dark Ages. The populous truly was kept in the dark about the liberating truths of the Bible.
 
As we continue with the Apostle Paul's prophecy regarding the Man of Sin (Thes. 2:1-12), he tells believers that the return of Jesus Christ...will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed...the son of perdition. The Christians in Paul's day, as well as Paul himself, expected the Lord to return in their time, so he gave them two signs - prophecies - that must precede His return. We have already identified the Man of Sin. What does falling away mean?
 
Falling away means that believers will abandon the faith of their forefathers - apostasy. Paul in his prophecy inextricably linked together the Man of Sin with the Son of Perdition. Perdition means:  ruin or loss; damnable; pernicious ways. While every era has apostasy including the 21st century, never in recorded history has there ever been a protracted falling  away of the faith, than during the 1000-year reign of the Holy Roman Empire.
 
We must keep our study of Thessalonians chapter 2 in context, so that we will understand the meaning of Paul's prophecy. In verse 1, Paul says...concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him... So the main subject of his explanation, the return of Jesus Christ and Day of Judgment, began in chapter 1 -- so begin reading here.
 
This will help us understand what Paul meant in verse 6...and now you know what is restraining, that he may be revealed in his own time. This short statement by Paul creates three questions.
 
1.   Who is restrained?
2.   What is restraining?
3.   Who will be revealed in his own time?
 
For the answers to these three questions, as revealed in chapter 2...stay tuned...

Man of Sin - Part 23 of Riddles, Enigmas & Esoteric Imagery of Revelation

 
When we were last together I asked you, "How did Martin Luther identify the blasphemous names on the woman's forehead with the Holy Roman Empire?" The woman was sitting on the scarlet beast with names on her forehead:  Mystery Babylon the Great - the Mother of Harlots and of the Abomination of the Earth...Rev. 15:5. Martin Luther wasn't politically correct - he simply revealed the fulfillment of certain Revelation visions because he personally experienced their fulfillment.
 
Martin Luther grew up in the darkness of a false religion doctrine, but when an aged Friar opened his eyes to the truth of salvation as a free gift, the light of the truth opened his eyes. By proclaiming this truth publicly, he knew he was stepping on the toes of the elite rulers of his day, but he threw caution to the wind in order to inform the citizens of this empire.
 
Looking back 500 years with 20/20 vision, many modernists love to point out Luther's flaws, thus discounting the truth of the Reformation, and the marvelous spiritual transformation of millions of people who bolted out of the Dark Ages into the light of Jesus Christ that was faithfully revealed by him. No single human being has all truth, but God has strategically placed certain individuals in history, and in modern times, and anointed them with a pivotal spiritual message.
 
The modern view point on the end time doctrine has completely discounted the historic pivotal message of Martin Luther. Martin Luther proved that the seventh head of the seven-headed beast in Revelation was the Holy Roman Empire, proving the fulfillment of John's vision on this subject. But today all you hear from the pulpit, television and radio preachers, and myriad of books is that Revelation from chapter 4 on has not been fulfilled. Ignoring historically documented facts has led the modern church into deception.
 
Martin Luther knew that the Holy Roman Empire symbolized the Mother of Harlots when he placed the crown worn by the pope on her head in his drawing of Revelation 17 - woman sitting on scarlet beast - in his Bible published for the common man to read. The word harlot means prostitute - whore. This reference has a spiritual application, which means to 'fall away' from God.
 
When the Holy Roman Empire took on the persona of "God on Earth" they prostituted themselves from Jesus Christ, misrepresenting Him to the citizens of their vast empire - thus causing their citizens to prostitute themselves by serving 'another god' - idolatry.  Martin Luther knew clearly that the Holy Roman Empire was Mystery Babylon the Great - Mother of Harlots. Babylon symbolizes idolatry. Prophecy of scripture is understood in its fulfillment.
 
Martin Luther also knew that the blasphemous names written on the forehead of this woman, who represented paganism, symbolized her allegiance to the idolatry of the Holy Roman Empire. - mark of the beast. Remember, defining the symbolism, esoteric imagery, and metaphors of Revelation unlocks the message to us - no interpretation needed. Martin Luther did a good job of defining the symbolism of the seventh head of the seven-headed beast.
 
Let no man deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition...II Thes. 2:3. Who is the Man of Sin? The Apostle Paul continues in verse 4 with the description of the Man of Sin. He says, ...who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.
 
Does this description sound familiar? Did Martin Luther have it right all along? After Jesus Christ arose from the dead, and the church began, there has been no church leader in Christianity, who dared to exalt himself about all that is called God. Yet, from the outset of the Holy Roman Empire, the Pope(s) called himself the Vicarious Son of God and Another God on earth, historically documented by Luther.
 
When we define the meaning of the word temple in verse 4 above, we will better understand the identity of the person, who sits as God in the temple of God. Stay tuned...

Mark of the Beast - Part 22 of Riddles, Enigmas & Esoteric Imagery of Revelation

 
 
When we were last together I asked you "how did Martin Luther define 666." He lived to see the fulfillment of Revelation chapters 13 and 17 where a seven-headed beast is depicted. In his Bible, Luther drew a tiara on the woman arrayed in purple and scarlet, which says Vicarious Son of God. The seventh head - empire - was the Holy Roman Empire, the image of the beast according to Martin Luther.
 
We know that prophecy of scripture is understood in its fulfillment, so we should pay attention to the historical documentation left by Martin Luther. 666 = the sum total of human achievement. Martin Luther was a priest, who personally experienced the secrets of the Holy Roman Empire, and chose to expose their hypocrisy to the people, rather than continue to defraud them. Because of their worldwide prestige and dominance, nations feared the power and authority of the Holy Roman Empire, so the secret sins of the leadership were easily covered up. Luther blew off the cover.
 
Millions of people blindly followed the religious leadership of this empire without question -- deceived by the outward appearance of righteousness - but many authors meticulously documented their immorality, sexual perversion, idolatry, drunken reveling, orgies, lying, stealing and covetousness. Those brave souls who declared the truth about the empire were excommunicated, imprisoned, tortured, or murdered.
 
The common folks of the 1000-year reign of the Holy Roman Empire - Dark Ages - had no access to the scriptures, preventing them from reading the truth about Jesus Christ and His free gift of salvation. The mass liturgy was recited in Latin, while the interpretation supplied by the prelates must be accepted as infallible, even though it was skewed by them. It is interesting to note that Latin is called the mystery language. The word Latin is derived from the word lateo meaning:  lie hid.
 
The waters which you saw, where the harlot sits, are peoples, multitudes, nations, and tongues...and the woman whom you saw is that great city which reigns over the kings of the earth...Rev. 17:15 & 17. Luther knew he was experiencing the fulfillment of the harlot, apostate leadership of the Holy Roman Empire, who rules over multitudes worldwide. The woman in this text symbolizes paganism - that great city of Rome, the pagan capitol of the Holy Roman Empire that reigns over kings of the earth.
 
I am so sorry that the modern church has chosen to ignore the historical documentation of hundreds of authors, who exposed the sins of this empire, otherwise we would understand how most of John's revelations have already been fulfilled, such as, I saw a woman drunk with the blood of the saints and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus. And when  I saw her, I marveled with great amazement...Rev. 17:6.
 
Since the woman symbolizes paganism, we know that the religious leadership of the Holy Roman Empire - harlot - represents paganism. So what does it mean to be drunk with the blood of the saints? The apostate religious leadership of the Holy Roman Empire was intoxicated with their own power and authority over the lives of all their subjects around the world - power to destroy the lives of any rebellious dissenters of the faith.
 
The unscrupulous acts of these religious leaders were persistently exposed by courageous Christians, hurling public accusations against them. These faithful followers of Jesus Christ were imprisoned, tortured, or burned at the stake. Millions of true Christians succumbed to the cruelty and murderous rampage of the harlot, who became drunk with the blood of the saints and martyrs of Jesus Christ.
 
...And I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast which was full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns...and on her forehead a name was written:  Mystery Babylon the Great - the Mother of Harlots and of the Abominations of the Earth...Rev. 17:3 & 5.  Martin Luther personally saw the fulfillment of this scripture and revealed it in his historical writings. By doing so, he became the empires' worst nightmare.
 
The forehead symbolizes our allegiance to the one we worship - Mark of the Beast or Mark of God (666). How did Martin Luther identify the blasphemous names on this woman's forehead with the Holy Roman Empire? Stay tuned...

Mark of the Beast - Part 21 of Riddles, Enigmas & Esoteric Imagery of Revelation

Glacier Park Montana
When we were last together I asked if your life reveals the Mark of the Beast or the Mark of God? From the Biblical definition of the Mark of the Beast, along with historical documentation, we now know that the "mark" is an invisible spiritual designation on the life of a human being. The Revelation of Jesus Christ explains the spiritual side of the happenings in the physical realm, and who is the power behind the works of human beings - God or Satan. We will be known by our spiritual fruits.
 
During the reign of the Imperial Roman Empire total allegiance from the people was required, otherwise they would be tortured, imprisoned, or murdered. When the Holy Roman Empire rose to power, combing secular government with ecclesiastical authority, this same allegiance from the people was required or they would be tortured, imprisoned, or murdered.
 
The God to whom a human being surrenders his allegiance is revealed by the works of his life. When we evaluate our own motives, thoughts, words, and deeds we will see clearly if our life reveals the Mark of God (humility) or the Mark of the Beast (prideful). Seeking fame, fortune and accolades from the world clearly reveals what invisible "mark" is on our life. Weeping over the sins of our family, friends, and nation because sin separates them from their loving Creator, while praying for God to bring them into His kingdom, also reveals what invisible "mark" is on our life...Ez. 9:1-11.
 
666 was first mentioned in Revelation 13:18...here is wisdom...let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of man:  His number is 666. Our study has revealed that the definition of the number 6 is:  the sum total of human achievement. Allegiance to sin, paganism, and immorality is the Mark of the Beast. Without Jesus Christ, the sum total of human achievement is death and Hell -- 666.
 
In Revelation chapter 13 it is the image of the beast who first symbolized the Mark of the Beast. This is the Holy Roman Empire. If we keep our definition of 666 in context, the chapter will give us understanding of the symbolism, then the message will be made clear.
 
The Holy Roman Empire is the seventh head (kingdom) of the seven-headed beast. The dragon, who has seven heads, symbolizes Satan who has power and authority over all seven kingdoms. Satan represents the paganism that is practiced by all seven heads (kingdoms).  The Holy Roman Empire is represented by a man...his number is 666 -- the sum total of human achievement - Mark of the Beast.
 
The Latin, Hebrew, Greek, and Aramaic alphabets all have numerical values. Let me give you an example. In the Greek alphabet the Letter L = 30, the letter A = 1, and so forth.  In the Hebrew alphabet the letter R = 200, the letter O = 6, and so forth...you get the picture.
 
Do you remember much earlier when we studied about Martin Luther's experience with the Holy Roman Empire? At that time we revealed that during the Pope's inauguration, the crown placed on his head bore the title "Vicarious Son of God." This title in the Latin language is Vicarius Filii Dei with a total numerical value of 666.
 
Every mass in the Holy Roman Empire was spoken in Latin, so the prelates became known as the Latin Man. "Latin Man" in the Greek language is lateinos with a total numerical value of 666. Roman Man was another moniker often used by the populous to refer to the Pope. "Roman Man" in the Hebrew language is romiti with a total numerical value of 666.
 
The religious system of the HolyRoman Empire personified apostasy.  The word "apostasy" in the Greek language is apostates with a total numerical value of 666.
 
The first Roman emperor to persecute the Christians was Nero Caesar. This name in the Aramaic language is nron ksr with a total numerical value of 666. The two empires - Imperial Rome and Holy Rome - have one major wicked trait in common...Paganism - Mark of the Beast.
 
It is not just the names I have listed as an example who symbolize 666 - the sum total of human achievement. Any human being who surrenders his allegiance to a god other than Jesus Christ, personifies the number 6 -- he is incomplete without God. By surrendering his allegiance to the world, the flesh, and the devil, a human being automatically takes upon himself the Mark of the Beast - symbolized by man's number - 666. This an invisible spiritual mark on his life, revealed by the works of his hands, and the thoughts of his mind (forehead).
 
How did Martin Luther define 666? Stay tuned...

Mark of the Beast - Part 20 of Riddles, Enigmas & Esoteric Imagery of Revelation

 



 
Since this is the 4th part of our Mark of the Beast Series, I have already explained that the beast kingdom reigning at the time the Mark of the Beast terminology was first introduced, was the Holy Roman Empire- 7th head of the seven-headed beast. We also know by now that the Mark of the Beast is an invisible mark because of its spiritual significance. Allegiance to the world (Satan) - paganism - is visually illustrated so we can better understand the spiritual message.
 
When we were last together we gave the Biblical history of the significance of the symbolism of the forehead and hand to describe our allegiance to God or the world (paganism). Once we define the metaphorical language and esoteric imagery in Revelation the message is revealed. Here is wisdom:  Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man:  His number is 666...Rev. 13:18. Don't you just love a good riddle...especially when it is so easily and clearly solved?
 
Do you remember the two-horned beast in part 11 of our study? His two horns and voice symbolized the merging of secular government with an ecclesiastical system of government. The two horns symbolize a lamb (Christian), but the beast had the voice of a dragon, revealing a transformation has taken place - 6th head of the beast evolved into the 7th head of the beast...Rev. 13:11-16.
 
Continuing in Revelation chapter 13, we find the two-horned beast is revealed by symbolism - 666. The Mark of the Beast is revealed during the reign of the Holy Roman Empire - pagan religion. Numbers in the Bible have symbolic meaning. Defining the meaning of the numbers used in scripture, especially prophecy of scripture, clears up any ambiguities in the message.
 
What does the number 6 mean? It is defined as -- the sum total of human achievement. There is no mystery here. The number six, simply put, is man's number, just as the number seven is God's number. Compound the number 6, as in 666, simply illustrates that no matter how much a human being accomplishes through his own worldly efforts, his sum total value goes no higher than six in the language of numbers. 
 
The Bible tells us that man was created on the 6th day of the creation of the world. The number six symbolized that the sum total of man was incomplete until God breathed life into him. - then he became one-with-God. When mankind sinned against God he stood alone once again - the sum total of his achievements are symbolized by the number 6.
 
God anointed Solomon as King to replace King David on the throne of Israel. Eventually King Solomon grievously disobeyed God by having multiple wives, whom he permitted to worship their own pagan gods. With all of the fame and fortune bestowed upon him by God, Solomon's achievements were assessed by the number six - sum total of man's achievements - incomplete without God. How do I know this?
 
The annual income for King Solomon was calculated at 666 talents of gold...I Kings 10:14. The weight of his gold was 25 tons. This is a lot of money, even in our day. So we can see that 666 simply represents - the sum total of Solomon's human achievements - incomplete without God.
 
In Revelation, it is the Holy Roman Empire - image of the beast - who causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their forehead...Rev. 13:16. This empire personifies the number 666.
 
Only Jesus Christ can spiritually complete, or perfect a human being, thus raising his numerical value. Alone - a human being is always a number six - incomplete without Jesus Christ. By his allegiance, a human being chooses which invisible spiritual mark is revealed by the fruit of his life - Mark of the Beast or Mark of God.
 
Since a human being will never symbolize the number seven unless he becomes one-with-God, because only the number seven means complete - perfection - find out next week if your life  reveals the Mark of the Beast (666) or the Mark of God. Stay tuned...

Mark of the Beast - Part 19 of Riddles, Enigmas & Esoteric Imagery of Revelation

 
When we were last together we began to lay the foundation for the symbolic meaning of a mark on the forehead or on the hand. We have already explained in the last two blogs that the right hand of a human being symbolizes his power and authority over his service, labor, or works. The forehead symbolizes the mind of a human being - decisions are made with his mind.  The allegiance of a human being - whom he will worship - is determined by his mind, which mirrors the condition of his heart.
 
In ancient times, men of Israel who came to the temple for morning prayer would bind to their forehead and hand a small leather case containing a bit of scripture...a phylactery. This was a symbolic gesture, a vow to God, that their whole spirit, soul (mind), and body were surrendered to Him alone. With scripture, God's own words, symbolically covering the parts of their body vulnerable to temptation, they were demonstrating their allegiance to God - total reliance on Him for their very existence and preservation.
 
When a human being surrenders his allegiance to the pursuit of fame, fortune, titles attached to his name, prestige, honors, credit for work done, financial gain, self preservation, ministry, religious systems with men's doctrines, occultism, new age doctrines, psychics, atheism, politics - any lures of the world system - this is the Mark of the Beast.
 
God has a plan for every human being placed in him at the time of his conception...Psalm 139:16. By surrendering your allegiance to Jesus Christ, He will reveal His plan for your life on the earth, which will honor and glorify Him - not the world, your flesh, or the devil.
 
With your forehead (mind) and hand (works) focused on the pursuit of these things of the world, you display your allegiance to another god -- the Mark of the Beast.  Jesus said...every tree is known by his own fruit...Luke 6:44.  Some fruits of the Mark of the Beast are lying, greed, jealousy, envy, hatred, revenge, blame, self-seeking, arrogance, manipulation, threats, blackmail, betrayal, prideful, wars, chaos, destruction, power, privilege - forcing others to submit to your way - or else.
 
The ancient men of Israel knew very well the severe consequences for not surrendering their allegiance to God alone - the heavens would withhold its rain, the fields would no longer bear fruit, so they would no longer be able to buy or sell - instead - they would perish...Deut. 11:17.
 
You may be asking about now, "Why is God so hard-nosed about humans surrendering their allegiance to Him alone. Can't we have a little fun?" Adulterers and adulteresses...do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God?...James 4:4.
 
Jesus told His apostles regarding Satan...the thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy...John 10:10. God wants to protect us from the wiles of the Satan which would lead us to suffer his consequences - Lake of Fire. Developing intimacy with Jesus Christ will protect us from the traps set by our spiritual enemy, who wants us to be separated from God forever - Satan is not our friend! Only Jesus Christ has our best interests at heart!
 
As we have seen in this study thus far, the symbolism of the forehead and hand to demonstrate men's allegiance to God or allegiance to the world (Satan) is not a new concept - it is simply described with new terminology in the Revelation, where it is called for the first time - Mark of the Beast. This is because it is related to the paganism of the seven kingdoms of the seven-headed beast. There is no mystery here -- now that you know its origin in Biblical history.
 
Here is wisdom:  Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man:  His number is 666...Rev. 13:18. Hundreds of volumes have been written on the subject of 666, full of scary speculations, but sadly, all neglect what the Bible clearly reveals in its simplicity - if we keep it in context. Next week we will delve into the fascinating definition of 666. Stay tuned...
 
God's sheep question the doctrines of men...sheeple follow without question...
