THE SIGN OF GOD'S PEOPLE

Verily my sabbaths (plural) you shall keep: for it is a sign between me and you Ex 31:13... it is a sign between ME and the children of Israel forever Ex 31:17.  Therefore shall ye lay up these my words in your heart and in your soul, and bind them for a sign upon your hand , that they may be as frontlets between your eyes.  And ye shall teach them your children... Deu 11:18-20.  And hereby do we know that we know Him, if we KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS.  He that saith that I know Him and KEEPETH NOT His commandments, is a LIAR, and the TRUTH is NOT in him. But whoso KEEPETH His WORD, in him truly is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are IN HIM.  He that saith that he abides in Him ought himself also so to walk, even as HE WALKED.  1 Joh 2:3-6.  And he that KEEPETH His commandments dwelleth in HIM, and HE in him.  And hereby we know that He abides in us, by the SPIRIT which HE has given us. 1 Joh 3:24.

The sign of God's people is that:  THEY KEEP ALL OF GOD'S COMMANDMENTS THROUGH THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT IN THEM!

There are those who keep one or two commandments here or there, but then make their excuses to break other commandments.  There are those who observe the Sabbath but reject Holy Days or other commandments or even Messiah Himself.  For whosoever shall KEEP THE WHOLE LAW, AND YET OFFEND IN ONE POINT, HE IS GUILTY OF ALL  Jas 2:10.

When we TRULY LOVE someone we want to PLEASE them to MAKE THEM HAPPY.  If we were truly filled with the LOVE OF GOD, as a GIFT OF HIS HOLY SPIRIT,  WE WOULD WANT TO PLEASE HIM!  WE WOULD BE KEEPING HIS COMMANDMENTS THROUGH THE POWER OF HIS SPIRIT IN US! 

Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever Heb 13:8.  He does NOT change Mal 3:6, He is ALWAYS CONSISTANT!  What did He do in the past?  He kept His Father's Law, HE SAID SO  Joh 15:10!  What will He be doing today?  Keeping HIS FATHER'S LAW. Why? Because He DOES NOT CHANGE!  Now, he who claims to be of Christ, must walk as Christ walks, must live as Christ lives 1 Joh 2:6.  How does Christ live His life?  He KEEPS THE FATHER'S COMMANDMENTS!  What must we do, to be like Christ, to be Christ's?  We MUST DO what He does, we MUST KEEP THE FATHER'S COMMANDMENTS!  This IS THE SIGN OF GOD, GOD'S PEOPLE KEEP ALL HIS COMMANDMENTS  1 Joh 5:2-3.  How do we do this?  Through the SPIRIT OF JESUS CHRIST DWELLING IN US!  HE KEEPS HIS FATHER'S LAW, HE DOES NOT CHANGE, HE WILL KEEP HIS FATHER'S LAW WHILE DWELLING WITHIN US, ENABLING US TO ALSO KEEP THE FATHER'S COMMANDMENTS! 

The sign of God's people is that they KEEP ALL OF THE FATHER'S COMMANDMENTS AND ARE FILLED WITH HIS LOVE, THROUGH THE INDWELLING SPIRIT OF POWER, THE SPIRIT OF JESUS CHRIST WHICH IS THE HOLY SPIRIT OF ALMIGHTY GOD !

THE MARK OF THE BEAST

ANYONE, WHO DENIES THAT JESUS CHRIST IS DWELLING IN OUR FLESH AND IS DOING IN US WHAT HE HAS ALWAYS DONE,  IS A DECIEVER,  AND IS AN ANTICHRIST.  2 Joh 7  The MARK of the beast, the great antichrist, is to say that we need not follow the example of JESUS CHRIST!  To say that we need NOT KEEP THE FATHER'S LAW!  To say that Christ kept the commandments so that we wouldn't have too.  To say that Christ has changed and has done away with the Father's law.  For said Jesus "I have NOT come to destroy the law, but to fulfil (to observe, to keep) Mat 5:17.  The MARK of the beast, the antichrist, is to say that Jesus Christ is NOT DWELLING IN HIS PEOPLE and that His people need not follow Christ's example or keep the Father's law! 


And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, to receive a mark in their right hand or in their foreheads  Rev 13:16.

This mark in placed in the forehead, THE MIND, and it is placed on the right hand, representing our ACTIONS, what we DO.  The mark of the beast is the exact opposite of the sign of GOD!  This mark is the attitude of  REBELLION against the commandments of God and therefore REBELLION AGAINST GOD!   This final great beast, this being who is a detestable abomination to God, who appears like a LAMB but speaks the words of the dragon  Rev 13:11 has the power to do great miracles and has the power to give life to the image of the Roman Empire.  This son of perdition, the Appalling Abomination deceives the whole world into turning away from Almighty God and bowing to this Roman Empire.  2 Thess 2:3-12, Rev 13:11-17.

HOW is he able to deceive the whole world?   Because they DO NOT LOVE THE TRUTH OF GOD!  2 Thes 2:10-11.  They DO NOT KEEP GOD'S COMMANDMENTS!  Not being grounded on TRUE SOUND DOCTRINE,  even sincere, well intentioned people,  can easily be misled!

The Mark of the Beast is to follow him into rebellion against GOD and GOD'S LAW!  It is to forsake the commandments of our GOD!  It is to place the TRADITION OF A CHURCH and the sayings of men ABOVE THE WORD OF GOD! Mat 15:3  Please read our THE ETERNAL IS GOD AND THE PRIMACY OF PETER page.


THE NUMBER OF THIS BEAST

Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is six hundred, three score and six (666)  Rev 13:18.  Yes, the number of this great deceiver is 666.

To understand this number, we need to be reminded that this was written in Koine Greek.  The Greek of the common man.  In the Greek, as it was written here, the name for Rome  was LATEINOS,  which can be numerically rendered as:
       
                                                               L   30
                                                               A     1
                                                               T 300
                                                               E     5
                                                               I    10
                                                               N   50
                                                               O   70
                                                               S  200

                                         TOTAL:               666

The number 666 has been indelibly placed upon Rome since it's foundation.  Let the reader understand.  The final rise of Rome is to be ruled by a political leader who is given his power by a false religious leader, who has received his power from satan.  The religious leader, who appears as a lamb, to deceive, may well have a personal identification with this number.    

Post Script
I see that Dennis Fischer has a nearly identical section on the number of the beast at his web site Blow The Trumpet.  Since TheShiningLight was first published in early July 2007 and Blow The Trumpet has been around much longer, I wish to give Dennis full credit for understanding and publishing this information.   While he would probably disagree with me on several points, I also wish to commend him for his love of the Sabbath.     30 Nov 07   James Malm
