In this series of PodCasts we will be looking at Signs of the End times in scripture. We will be covering the apocalyptic books of Daniel and Revelation, the Signs of the End from Matthew 24, Mark 13 and Luke 21 and the the non-canonical apocalyptic books of 2 Esdras, 2 Baruch and of course Enoch. We will also be looking into the Dead Sea Scrolls and the Nag Hammadi Library and the apocalyptic works they contain.

Do you know that the Whore and the Beast of Revelation are a false religion and a wicked kingdom. Did you know that the end times are referred to throughout the Bible. Did you know that many of the Signs of the End are happening right now in current events? Did you know that the second book of Esdras from the Apocrypha covers the End Times and gives even more depth to Daniel. Have you ever wondered why there is a Tribulation at the End?

Q&A: “Is Revelation 13 being fulfilled now?”

/ By / Questions and Answers

The Scripture

Is this the Mark of the Beast?

Revelation Chapter 13 is arguably the best known piece of scripture in the Bible.  This is the prophecy of the Mark of the Beast.  We are going to focus on the last few verses to answer this question, but I encourage you to read the entire chapter for context.

To summarize, there is a dragon (lit. serpent) and a beast which she empowers. These two entities are the Whore and Beast of Revelation 17.  Revelation Chapter 13 goes on to say there is ‘another’ beast. This beast is a magnification of the dragon mentioned before. It looks like a Lamb, speaks like a dragon, and causes all to worship the first beast.  The first Beast is a governing or secular power, while the dragon-like second beast is a false religion. The false religion has the appearance of righteousness but is actually from Satan. Historically, this dynamic of religion empowering government has always existed, but not on a worldwide scale.

Now we are going to focus on the last few verses to determine how we will know if or when Revelation 13 is being fulfilled.

And he (the first beast) causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive their mark in their right hand, and in their foreheads: And that no one might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, the name (or authority) of the beast, and the number of their name.
