666 - DO YOU HAVE THE NAME OR NUMBER OF THE BEAST? THE CHURCHES HAVE ALREADY SUBMITTED AND ARE RECEIVING THE NAME AND NUMBER OF THE BEAST!

There is so much focus in Christian cirlces today on the mark of the beast, that many do not realize they can be lost by just having the 'name or number' of the beast. Take a look at what Revelation says about the mark, name and number of the beast:

Revelation 13:17 ...'And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.'

Revelation 14:11 ...'And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.'

Revelation 15:2 ...'And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name, stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God.'

Do you see what God is telling us? This isn't ALL about the mark of the beast. There is also the 'name and number' of the beast which will deceive and see people lost. So it is vital to understand what these are referring to and how to not be deceived by them.

Revelation 13:18 ...'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 threescore and six.'

Did you notice that the verse counsels us to 'COUNT the number of the beast'? And that we need 'wisdom' to understand it? Do you know what that means? It means that the number of the beast CANNOT simply be a 666 number on a chip, barcode, ID, tattoo, etc. Neither does it mean the digits 666 that appear in a phone number or any other kind of number is evil and of the beast. It is a number that needs to be CALCULATED and we need 'wisdom' to understand it.

Now there is overwhelming evidence that the beast itself is the Papal Church of Rome, with it's headquarters at the Vatican in Rome. You can see the evidence for this on our page WHO IS THE 7 HEADED BEAST OF REVELATION? So if the beast is the Papacy, and the number of the beast is also the number of a man as Revelation 13 says, then what man would that be pointing to? Of course it will be pointing to the leader of the Papacy, that MAN OF SIN the apostle Paul spoke of - the Pope! Now history confirms that the popes used the title 'Vicarius Filii Dei', meaning Vicar [or representative] of the Son of God. And if you COUNT the number of this name in ROMAN numerals, it adds up to 666. You can see evidence of popes using this title and it equating to 666 HERE.

So how can we have the name or number of the Papacy and the Pope?

Now we are getting to the crux of the matter. What does the Catholic Church teach regarding church tradition and creed? It teaches that it is at least EQUAL with the Word of God in the Bible, and that we NEED church leaders to tell us what the Word of God means ... "As a result the Church, to whom the transmission and interpretation of Revelation is entrusted, 'does not derive her certainty about all revealed truths from the holy Scriptures alone. Both Scripture and Tradition must be accepted and honored with equal sentiments of devotion and reverence." (Catholic Catechism, No.82).

Do you see what the Catholic Church is saying? That we CANNOT get all truth from God's Word alone. We MUST, with equal devotion, follow church traditions and creeds, allowing the leaders to teach us what is truth. So this is the crux of the matter. To have the name or number of the beast, what will people be doing? They will be following MAN and placing themselves under the authority of man, instead of following CHRIST alone and His truth. This is so important to understand.

In other words, they put their trust in man and FOLLOW MAN - 666!

"The first step of apostasy is to get up a creed, telling us what we shall believe. The second is, to make that creed a test of fellowship. The third is to try members by that creed. The fourth to denounce as heretics those who do not believe that creed. And, fifth, to commence persecution against such." (J.N.Loughborough, Review and Herald, Oct.8, 1861, p.148)

This applies to ALL churches, not just the Roman Catholic Church, as the vast majority of churches and denominations in the world have now FOLLOWED suit with the Roman Catholic Church, establishing church tradition and creeds as EQUAL to the Word of God. Your church may proclaim to use the Word of God alone, but as soon as you challenge a church teaching, showing truth from the Bible, the church leaders will use the church creed as a test of fellowship. Not only that, the majority of churches teach some sort of Roman Catholic error, whether it be Sunday sabbath, or the false trinity god, or immortal soul. And most churches and denominations are now involved in this ecumenical movement with Rome! So the name and number of the beast affects ALL churches.

But what did Jesus say? ... "If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." (John 8:31-32) ... IF we continue in Christ's Word, NOT the church creed.

The whole system of "church" today, whether it be Catholic or Protestant, is set up to CONTROL the members. This is why many are disfellowshipped for speaking up for the truth, because that truth does not fall in line with the creeds of the churches. Just like the Pharisees of old. Any truth that was shared with them, if it didn't line up with their own creed, they would not accept it and reject anyone who did not fall in line with their creed. The churches are even going a step further and uniting with government to control the flock. Revelation 17 told us that 'Babylon' - which represents the fallen churches, is committing 'fornication' with the 'kings of the earth.' In other words, the churches were prophesied to UNITE with the governments of the world, just like the Pharisees of old. The various churches are truly following in the footsteps of the Papacy in fornicating and uniting with the state powers. And this is what the beast of revelation is - a uniting of church and state.

Now think about this. What did your church do during COVID-19? Shut down? Then your church has UNITED with the state. Did the threat of being thrown in the lions den stop the prophet Daniel from praying to God? No! So why were the churches closed? Can a virus live in the presence of God? No! So why were the churches closed? They are being set up to receive the mark, name or number of the beast!

Many professed Christians today are saying ... "we need a vaccine to save us from the virus!" ... What are they doing? LOOKING TO MAN rather than God - Just what Satan wants!

Friends, if we submit to what the churches or government says instead of what God's Word teaches, then what are we doing? We are ultimately placing ourselves under the AUTHORITY of the beast and will receive the mark, name or number of the beast, because this is what the Papacy is all about. Gaining CONTROL over the people. And because the Roman Catholic Church has infiltrated much of the world's churches and governments, the world can be caused, directly or by proxy, to worship the beast. All of what we are seeing today is part of the plan to cause the world to 'worship the beast.'

Now take a look at what God's TRUE people do. They "follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth" (Revelation 14:4). Do you see what God's saints do? They follow Christ ALONE and let HIM teach them the truth, which is why they have 'the Father's name' sealed in their foreheads. But what does the Roman Catholic Church and most other denominations, in unison with the government tell their people? FOLLOW US! Follow our creed! Keep our traditions! Submit to our rules! In other words, FOLLOW MAN! Which is why those who follow the churches instead of Christ have the 'name or number of the beast', instead of the name of the Father. There are so many people who, when you share truth with them, they say ... "this isn't what my church teaches." And instead of being open and allowing Christ to teach them the truth, they put their trust in the church leaders and follow them instead.

In other words, they put their trust in man and FOLLOW MAN - 666!

But how is this going to translate into 'no buying or selling'? A time is coming when all will have to agree with the dogmas of the Papacy, whether it be Sunday rest, or the trinity god, climate change, or something else, to be able to continue buying and selling. And Revelation 13 tells us that the image of the Papacy, set up in America through the Evangelicals and Catholics controlling government, will be the world leader in this. A cashless society is being brought about, and anyone who will not submit to church and government in the last days will have their finances blocked by the simple press of a button. And what does it profit a man to gain access to the world, but lose his own soul? So it's time to let go of the world and give our all for Christ and His truth.

So who do you follow friend? And I ask you to search your heart deeply! Who are you TRULY following? Are you still following the creeds of men? Or are you allowing Christ to teach you His truth? Many are going to be lost because they have the 'name or number of the beast - 666', meaning they are putting their trust in man and following man instead of Christ.

Jesus never said that the church or government would set us free. He said THE TRUTH shall make you free. Look at what Jesus said ... "Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, if ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." (John 8:31-32). We are not counselled to continue in the word of the churches or leaders, but to continue in the Word of Christ. THEN we shall know the truth and THE TRUTH shall make us free indeed!

Friend, this is the ONLY way to be free from the name and number of the beast. Yes, there is also the mark of the beast to be aware of, which most churches teach error on, thinking it is some kind of physical mark. You can see the truth about the mark through the link below. But so many are focused just on the mark, and they do not realize that we can also be lost if we have the name or number of the beast. So do you have the name or number of the beast? Or do you have the name of the Father? We can either follow the churches and government into darkness and destruction. Or we can follow Christ into light and everlasting life!

Remember! Jesus NEVER said the churches and leaders are the way, truth and life. He said ... "I AM THE WAY, THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE, no man cometh unto the Father, but BY ME." (John 14:6) Judgment from God is coming upon the churches and the Father is calling ... "Come OUT of her my people, that ye receive not of her plagues." (Revelation 18:4).

John 8:12 ...'Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.'
