Very interesting commentary. Sis Nelson said to listen carefully to the prophet when he speaks "from the pulpit". We must be careful to remember Pres Nelson's admonition to "Hear Him" and to "Come Follow Him" meaning of course, to follow the Savior and to listen to the Holy Ghost. There seem to be members who have begun worshipping the prophet. They are taking the easy route by not praying for confirmation from the Lord as to what He would have them do in certain circumstances. I don't like the terminology to walk "in lock step". The Apostles and First Presidency all discuss situations, pray and discuss.l again. "Let us reason together." We have been taught by the prophet, from the pulpit that we need to refine our ability to hear the Holy Ghost. (Paraphrasing).

Yes, for example the maker of this video tells us we don't have any direction about what John describes as the beast in Revelation or how to mark what it is. A short investigation proves that Joseph Smith himself revealed exactly what the beast found clearly in "the teachings of the prophet." He said to avoid contention it is necessary that it be known. John describes the kingdoms of Daniel as beasts but, "I say it is instead the inhabitants of those worldly kingdoms who are evil and abominable characters full of murder and hate and every act of carnality."Joseph reveals the beast to be man's carnal nature that destroys the earth right in a general conference as recorded forever more. The same carnal nature that destroyed the nephites. The natural man is the beast who is 666. Why has this been entirely overlooked by millions of saints including the man in the above video? Here is the greatest mystery in the entire church. Joseph revealed what millions are trying to figure out from the Bible for 2000 years now. Clearly Christ already gave John the Revelation of Jesus Christ as he titled it right in the title itself in Revelation one. General.authorities are very busy sometimes not having time to ask God every question spreading out there. Obviously the blacks in the priesthood took years to finally get around to asking God to clarify it. John in the Bible clearly says a man ( hardly recognized ) will decode the 666 by using math not revelation. Jesus already gave John the timelines and numbers to calculate. Challenging someone to count it up! "Verse 18" Obviously John asks everyone to let or (allow) this man to decode the math pertaining to this. "Revel. 13:18" Perhaps church members expect a prophet to do the math and not someone simply able to understand the math? John however warns that the understanding of this question only will only come by "HIM" who has the right mathematical understanding to decode this. "Revelation 13:18" Thereby not needing a new Revelation from Christ because Jesus already gave John the codes and clues to resolve his Revelation already. So who will allow this man to decode this when he shows up? Will church members allow him to be recognized if he's not known in salt lake? To find out the link UTube (BOA ep I6)

@@paulgregersen3570 Joseph Smith and you seem to have made the same error with prophecy. Revelation gives about 12 clues as to the identity of the Antichrist beast. That's like getting a room full of people, asking them to stand up, asking women to sit down, asking bald men to sit down, asking men under 40 to sit down etc. Every clue narrows the field. In prophecy it either fit's everything perfectly or it's wrong. Daniel is the key to unlocking Revelation. The beasts in Daniel describe the powers of the time. They exactly match the metal man too. 1798 saw the wound of one beast and the acknowledgement of the new one rising. Please watch a video by Hope through prophecy called the little horn power. Study each clue and fact provided and it'll make everything clearer. They also have a video on the mark of the beast. Once you know how to identify the beast, you'll understand their mark of authority better. Another mistake people make is the gand and forehead are symbolic for our actions and thoughts. This video is good in that he's cautious and uses reasoning, but unfortunately he hasn't studied Daniel or he'd be able to see the links with the 1st beast in revelation and the 4th beast in Daniel. The 2nd beast in revelation is the USA.

I find greater clarity when I study the mark of God, given to the righteous who keep the commandments of God. Same words, hand or forhead (frontlets between eyes). So often we try to decide how we're going to avoid getting the mark of the beast, when in reality we need to ask what God wants us to be doing. It is clear in Deuteronomy 11, we need to keep the commandments of God to receive God's mark upon us. Deuteronomy 11:18 ¶ 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.

If you follow JESUS CHRIST, then you should have faith, repent of your sins and be baptized by one having authority, then receive the gift of the Holy Spirit by the laying on of hands, also by one having authority. These things were done by those in the early church and, as you may know, they have been restored in our day. Jesus said that those who believe _and are baptized_ will be saved, and those who _don't believe_ will be damned. Thus one may surmise that both faith and works (like baptism, receiving the gift of the Holy Spirit and living righteously).

Those who are not against Christ are for him. Keep the peace please. I met a woman who was healed by a televangelist. She told me she heard him on tv and felt so compelled to touch the tv to be healed by him. She crawled on the floor with just her two arms and got the strength to touch the preacher through the tv and was healed. It was evident she couldnt walk beforehand because she still had the motorized scooter in her livingroom and the pile of doctor bills on her coffee table. I thought, this must've been done by the power of Satan. No, I was wrong. This woman had enough faith to be healed, her beliefs, whether right or wrong didn't matter, she had faith as large as the woman who touched Christ's garment.

Yes, C.B. You're quite correct that our faith doesn't study these things and I believe I know why, in four words: The Antichrist Is Islam. First, I'm utterly convinced that the prophets Ezekiel (38-39) and Zechariah (12-14) are describing the same event (Armageddon). Ezekiel tells us the nations that will attack Israel (Ezekiel 38:5-6) Second, while this will be an issue faced by the saints abroad (depending on their whereabouts), the saints in the Western Hemisphere will not be affected. The Bible tends to be, in the words of Joel Richardson, primarily Jerusalem-centric, and while we in the United States tend to think of ourselves as the center of everything, we simply aren't. (We have the Book of Mormon and the D&C for that.) The reason we don't teach what the Antichrist is is because we can't do missionary work to the Muslims if we're teaching ourselves and others that their religion is the Antichrist, even if it's true.

We also should focus more in the warnings and responsibilities in order to receive each blessing, is easy to focus in the promise and forget the conditions upon the promise will be received.

Revelation 13 says ALL small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, already have the mark.Its man's fallen nature and therefore only through Christ can you possibly overcome that fallen nature and gain victory through the blood of Christ." Says Revelation 15:2" This scripture clearly describes the mark as something we must overcome within ourselves by gaining a spiritual victory. Christ died so we can overcome our fallen nature and not for computer chips or something physical outside of ourselves. God says we can only understand what this is by having wisdom. "Rev. 13:18" Common sense is that wisdom. John said all mankind is already marked by the beast. "Revel. 13"" "Both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, that doesn't leave anybody out of this, even the general authorities of the church. We all buy and sell because we all belong to this fallen world. The mark seems to be our fallen nature and our earthly mortal curse which rules this entire earth and controls the us all through Satan s beastly predatory economic system of mammon. Remember Satan rules earthly governments and offers Christ an Earthly throne! God's kingdom is the mark we must all aim for, right?. Only the LDS church gives you full access to that spiritual victory over the mark by sealing us to eternal life and thereby a rejection of our being sealed to this world and its fallen vices. No where does it say we are destroyed by God for having that mark but only (if we worship the mark.) You can't win a spiritual victory over something that you don't already have within your midst as a spiritual challenge."Rev 15:2" So, obviously the people you listen to about it can't understand and are not reading what the Bible describes..God wants us to use wisdom!

Excellent, tempered analysis. A tiny bit of further speculation: the very first Apple computer sold (well documented) was $666. The Steve’s (Jobs and Wozniak) just “picked a random number and thought it was funny” according to them. Probably was innocently motivated, but it is interesting that the mark is “the number of a man” or in other words a number according to our monetary system. Anyway, since that computer (in part) kicked off the popular computer revolution I think the “mark” will be a technologically based thing of some sort, made possible by computers. Anyway, who knows.

Love your videos! May I add something interesting I’ve recently found during my studies- Brigham Young, Wilford Woodruff and a few others taught that the NAME of the Beast (666) has reference to the number of false religions in the world. It is also likely symbolic in that it is ever short of perfection (the number 7) as you stated. Very interesting. I’ve often wondered what will become of the religions of the world, and why faith in Christ/God seems prophesied to be attacked and wain greatly before the second coming of Christ (as Joseph Fielding Smith taught in DoS). Further, I tend to reflect on what is meant in relation to the recent prophecy of President Nelson, that “In the coming days it will NOT BE POSSIBLE to survive spiritually without the constant, comforting and giving influence of the Holy Ghost.” Anyway, God bless and may we all keep our faith bright and strong!

By being mainly focus and moving closer to the Lord and holding on to the spirit. The spirit of the Lord and even the Holy Ghost will be like our crutches in our Journey. We will have to solely depend on the spirit of guidance and direction and to me this is more important than trying to figure out things I don't know just yet , they will come automatically in time if we continue to stay humble and pray. At this time many things are unknown to each of us and later they will be revealed to each of us personally if we desire it , we do all that we can do, the gift of the spirit will be there if we keep trying to Live and follow the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

There is an explanation, but it is not a short one. Watch Mark Woodman's old video, "Who is the Antichrist". He presents 21 points from the Bible which together can only describe one entity. Identifying the beast first more easily leads to understanding his mark. People divide themselves into two classes before Christ's return; those with the mark and those who keep the commandments of God. See Rev.12:17, 14:12, 22:14. The angel's message of Rev.14:7 is very similar to Exod.20:11, the Sabbath commandment. This commandment is the one most ignored by Christianity.

So, you're saying in 34AD, the people were justified by following Caiaphas? How would one decide if they were in a Caiaphas situation or not? I think there's a lot more gray area when it comes to following the prophet, Joseph Smith's has many quotes on the subject.
@donaldjones9830 Жыл бұрын
I agree with your commentary. One way Church members don’t follow the prophet is on politics. Both on what to vote on or not and things like no contention. There is too much speculation on many topics among the Church. There is too much criticism of our Church leaders and not enough obedience to what we know we should be doing. As Elder Holland noted, The Lord runs his Church with imperfect people. We are also imperfect in our knowledge and understanding of the scriptures. You mentioned the division in the Church on following the prophet. I’ve noticed that also. We know things are going to get worse before the Second Coming. We should all be more concerned about following the Lord through the prophet and less judgmental about others or topics we know little about

While I agree with your statements at face value, I also think it important to recognize that we are indeed drawing ever nearer to the end. After all, that is the reason He provided us with those signs, so that we would be able to recognize them when the time came. On that basis, I also think that while establishing and maintaining a strong relationship with Christ is by far the highest priority, and that paying close attention to what the president of the Church says is also important, we do need also to recognize the characteristics of the mark of the beast. In other words, drop all the speculation (as you said) regarding the technology and whatever, and just look at the application of it. The prophecy is that the mark of the beast will be used as a criterion to determine whether or not you can buy and sell things. That one aspect is sufficient clarity, in my opinion. We're already being subjected to the normalization process leading up to that. First, it was applied to what they called "vaccine passports", and now they're beginning to apply it to new things already, but still connected to their "medicines" and things. Isn't that abundantly clear to tell us that whenever they start talking about requiring *anything* in order to buy and sell goods, that we can recognize it as a bad idea? It doesn't matter to what technology it may be tied, or to what condition of any kind. As soon as you hear the suggestion that *anything* be used as a condition for buying and selling throughout the world, you can recognize that it is evil. The obvious extension of that, as well as everything we've learned from our own lives and from the records we now hold as scripture, tell us that absolutely anything they try to force on the entire population is most likely going to be bad. These things are clear to us, and we need to be consciously aware of them, as we live our lives, as we seek confirmations from the Spirit and so on.

When Isaiah prophesied about things that would roar like lions And fly We all know that he was seeing cars and planes. those who were in the between time would have ALL interpreted it wrong… as it wasn’t even invented yet. Further to my point… bringing the gospel to all the world… internet fulfilled that prophecy and they wouldn’t have even comprehend it even a few decades ago. I do believe we are in the same position… it has not been created yet and we can’t even fathom what is coming… however I will say my theory is that we are witnessing the birth of it through AI. Here we are humans creating vessels in which we place our knowledge. Then trying to turn them out on their own to make choices. That is a striking parallel to Christ creating us and placing his “light” knowledge in us. In 20 yrs I could see that technology being the antichrist. It is the exact opposite
@portersorensen8814 Жыл бұрын
I’ve had the same thought about AI. It would seem a certain amount of logical for it to become the Antichrist. Where it is a creation of man like the golden calf, has no strict form like god and would probably find that free will is what causes humanity to do the things both good and bad. I really appreciate your thoughts on the mark of the beast.
@creativegenecircle Жыл бұрын
@@portersorensen8814 well the mark of the beast to me is the “natural” man. The number six is the number of a man. That’s what the scripture says. 6 is not 7 meaning perfection… it always falls short…. And without Christs atonement non of us will ascend to perfection… or completion 7. We will always be a 6 Then it is repeated 3 times… and where do we see that. When God repeats things 3 times it is final. So to me the mark of the beast is simply the natural man that is an enemy to God. And those who choose their natural man tendencies will always be a 6…. 666. Said 3 times. That is Final. Think about buying and selling… who’s head is on money. Man’s. “give to Caesar that which is Caesars and God, that which is God.” We can’t buy or sell Without the mark… it’s those who work with their hands and focus with their minds on money. Don’t give to the poor ect…Zion will have no money… you will give and help others because you have the mark of God in your focus ( forehead) your thoughts. Charity. Pure love of Christ. President Nelson’s talk overcoming the world is very profound… the part about what ever the “natural” man does do the opposite and you are overcoming the world. Or moving to perfection in Christ My thoughts anyways. To me all this other stuff trying to figure out who has the mark and chips and everything is a distraction. It’s just simple wisdom. Those who stay in the natural man state have the mark

I compare my seminary experiance and when my husband taught, and call it sissy seminary. You could sleep through class and pass! This is not the same world as my high school days three decades ago. And since we did New Testament I'll use the comparisson from there, of putting on "Your Armor of God". Weve been off a week and we absolutely are changed! We started a movie last night and stopped it. There is less tolerance for the world! When you have worked to wear that armor, you are used to the work of wearing the armor! Deflecticting the world can be easy! Funny as one of the doctrinal mastery scriptures came to my mind. James 1:6 For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.

A denomination is defined as existing within a specific country. There are 33,000+ total of these "Christian denominations" in 238 total countries. These 33,000 are subdivided into "6 major ecclesiastical-cultural mega-blocs", and ordering them by denomination size we have (I am rounding up or down slightly for convenience, using the year 2000 figures) : Independents (about 22000) Protestants (about 9000) "Marginals" (about 1600) Orthodox (781) Roman Catholics (242) Anglicans (168) So the 33,000 number is from the total of these 6 mega-blocs: 22000 + 9000 + 1600 + 781 + 242 + 168 = 33,000+ So which one is right? depends on who you ask, ask a Jehovah's witness and they will affirm they are, ask a seventh day Adventist and he will tell you they are, ask a Mormon and they will say they are. by the way all three of these were connected to William Miller, the preacher that predicted Christ would come in 1844, he made one more prediction and it was heralded as the great disappointment, all three of the above had dealings with Miller. and three churches were founded out of the ashes of Millerism. Mat 16:18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. Nothing has prevailed against the Church that Jesus started, to say so is to make Jesus a liar, anyone who claims they are just restoring what Jesus started is a bold-faced liar, in order to restore something, it must need restoration meaning it fell or was in some way prevailed against, but Jesus said even the gates of Hell would not prevail against His church. all of those 33,000 have come way after Jesus true Church which has come down to us alive and well and is made up of individuals that Love God, love His word and love the Truth, Jesus church does not have a proper name or title it is simply His people reading, believing, and doing His word. the 33,000 denominations were all started by men or women and have come pretty much in the last 500 years thereabouts. the True Church of Jesus came before all of these and is still going strong today. they assemble themselves together and speak the truth as they are lead by the Spirit.

As you were taking about having the Lord's Seal on their forehead, I was remembering what I learned about in the Old Testament with regards to a Levite Priest receiving his Covenant. A new Priest will have the blood of the sacrifice in his right ear, right thumb, and right big toe. A Levite Priest will also wear a golden plate on his forehead with the Words "Holiness to the Lord". In a similar way, Jesus Christ, the Ultimate Eternal Sacrifice, covers over our sins as we repent, through His Atonement. Similarly with the Levites in Ancient times, we make Covenants with God and will be covered by the Blood of Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God. Also, whenever we enter into a Temple, whether during a Dedication or for services in the Temple, each building has the inscription "Holiness to the Lord". I believe that as we choose to follow God, we can be like the Ancient Levites who were covered by the LORD symbolicly, and Spiritually through the Jesus Christ's Atonement. And as we actively and worthily enter the House of the Lord, we can serve in Holiness to the Lord.

I am a Christian but I do not believe the "Roman Catholic" is the 5th Empire in Daniel's Interpretation of the Status of a Man with a Gold head, a Silver upper body (breast), a Bronze of the lower body, Iron legs (2) and Mixture of Iron and Clay for the 2 feet with 10 toes... Prophet Daniel lived only during the Babylonian and the Medo-Persian Empires, so the 3rd, the 4th, and the 5th were not revealed yet during Daniel's books were written... As time goes by, history shows that the Geek Empire followed Persian Empire, and after Greek comes the Roman Empire...that was already a History... Nobody really knows 100% sure who will be the 5th Empire of Iron and Clay... everybody can speculate on their own candidates. I do not believe the Roman Catholic Church in Daniel's Interpretation as the 5th Empire of a mixture of "Iron and Clay"... here are my own reasons/opinions why: 1. the Symbolic word IRON for me, means Military Strength (literally Sword Rule)... while the Symbolic word CLAY for me, means Man-Made Religion because God created Adam from Clay (Earth). 2. All 4 Past Empires were founded and ruled as PAGAN EMPIRES... non-believers of True God, the creator... 3. The ISLAM Religion was founded by Muhammed in approx. 610 A.D. as a Militaristic Religion that had conquered more territories than the Roman Empire had conquered... This Islamic Religion became the OTTOMAN EMPIRE and their King/Ruler is called CALIPHATE... 4. According to the Book of Revelation, this BEAST was badly wounded but already healed... the OTTOMAN EMPIRE was disbanded/dissolved after WW1... but on this day, the CALIPHATE is slowly coming back with vengeance but perhaps with a Different Name... 5. All Islamic Nations, are ruled by Kings... for example, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Kuwait, Qatar, etc... 10 Toes are Kings with their own Kingdoms. 6. Ever since the founding of Islam Religion, Capital Punishment is always BEHEADING... the Bible mentioned the AntiChrist will behead the Believers or those without the Mark of the Beast. (Catholic Inquisition punishment was burning at the stake) . 7. The Vatican City was not the only one built on 7 Hills ... The City of MECCA, Saudi Arabia where the KAABA was built, also seats on 7 Hills... and many more cities around the world... 8. John's Vision: The Large Eagle will Fly the Woman into the DESERT to be saved from the Serpent dragon... Vatican Rome, Italy does not have large Desert land... but the Middle East does. . 9. This Islamic Empire is both Religion and State combined in the vast majority of Islamic Nations... (no separation)... a mixture of Iron (Militaristic State) and Clay (Man-Made Religion). 10. Vast majority of Terrorists in the 2Oth and 21st Centuries A.D. is from Islamic Extremists (the Jihadists)... The Bible said, on the last days, Satan knows his days are short (numbered), and Satan will do extreme (tremendous) EVILNESS to the world... Perhaps there were a few Catholic Terrorists, but they did not murder people out of Religion, but with something else... while Islamic Jihadists murdered millions around the world out of their Faith in Islam, rewarding them with 70 virgins in Paradise in the afterlife by Allah. These are only some of my reasons/opinions... What do you think?... are they valid?... share your thoughts and express your Freedom of Speech...

How many times in the scriptures prophets told people to do things that didn’t make any sense?

2 Tim 3:16-17, “16 All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, 17 that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.” Mat 7:7, “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.” Nearly 100% of God’s Word provides the answers to itself. It is nearly 100% because there are instances where scripture does not give the answer. For example - John 8:6, “This they said to test him, that they might have some charge to bring against him. Jesus bent down and wrote with his finger on the ground.” Do we know what Jesus wrote? Rev 10:4, “And when the seven thunders had sounded, I was about to write, but I heard a voice from heaven saying, “Seal up what the seven thunders have said, and do not write it down.” What could these seven thunders represent? There is no need to speculate on the meaning of the seven heads and ten horns as scripture provides the answers to these. Rev 17:9-12, “9 This calls for a mind with wisdom: the seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman is seated; 10 they are also seven kings, five of whom have fallen, one is, the other has not yet come, and when he does come he must remain only a little while. 11 As for the beast that was and is not, it is an eighth but it belongs to the seven, and it goes to destruction. 12 And the ten horns that you saw are ten kings who have not yet received royal power, but they are to receive authority as kings for one hour, together with the beast.” What is clear in this passage is ‘seven mountains’ and ‘ten kings.’ What is not clear is what they represent. There is a lot to analyze just with these four verses. To determine what the seven mountains represent, we first must determine who the woman is? Two areas that we will focus on regarding the ‘woman.’ They are: “The Woman and the Dragon” and “The Great Prostitute and the Beast.” A clear distinction between the two is that The Woman and the Dragon represent the righteous woman, and the other represent the unrighteous woman. Several keys factors with The Woman and the Dragon: Birth pains Rule with a rod of iron Caught up to God AND to his throne The woman fled into the wilderness prepared by God Nourished for 1,260 days Some key factors for The Great Prostitute and the Beast: Babylon the great, mother of prostitutes and of earth’s abominations Woman drunk with the blood of the saints and martyrs of Jesus ‘Dwellers’ on earth whose names have not been written in the book of life The one that has not yet come must remain only ‘a little while.’ The beast (Satan) that was and is not, it is an eight…goes to destruction Ten kings receive authority for one hour, together with the beast (antichrist) These (antichrist and ten kings) are of ONE mind and hand over their power and authority to the beast (Satan) There is much to discuss with The Great Prostitute and the Beast, however, now that we have identified the distinctions, what is the overall idea with the two? They both represent the ‘woman’ who is seated on the seven mountains. The woman represent - Rev 17:15, “And the angel said to me, “The waters that you saw, where the prostitute is seated, are peoples and multitudes and nations and languages.” Peoples, multitudes, nations, and languages include everyone. The seven mountains is the seven continents of the world. Rev 17:1, “Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and said to me, “Come, I will show you the judgment of the great prostitute who is SEATED on many waters,” Rev 17:9, “This calls for a mind with wisdom: the seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman is SEATED; What about the ‘ten kings?’ Who are they? There are several ways to identify who these are. What I can tell you is that they are more than just ten who has authority with the antichrist. However, only ten of them have the authority, or in other words, an influence and the ability to exploit the world. Who is this ‘great city’ spoken of in Revelation 17:18? It is Babylon the great. This great city is not Jerusalem, Moscow, Beijing, or even Babylon of old. Here are some questions : -What country has led the world and perhaps continue to lead in various categories? -What country has influenced the world for both good and bad; emphasis on ‘bad!’? -What country frightened the nations with the capability to annihilate the world? So if this country is where Babylon the great is located, the district that we know so well, then who is the antichrist? Study the scriptures to discern who this is. There are various areas within scripture to help determine this. Here are the signs of the antichrist: -Rising out of the sea (people), or succeeding over others to a position of authority from a regular citizen. (Rev 13:1) -The ten kings works in close proximity to the antichrist and has an influence on all peoples, multitudes, nations, and languages. (Rev 17:12) -The seven heads are seven mountains, which are the seven continents (all peoples, multitudes, nations, and languages). (Rev 17:9)(Rev 17:15). -The antichrist and ten kings lacks proper respect or seriousness for God. (Rev 13:6) -Solitary. (Rev 13:2) 'Like a Leopard' -Ambushes. (Rev 13:2) 'Leopard characteristics' -Walks flat-footed. Stomps on its opponents. (Rev 13:2) 'Bear's feet' -Sustained a mortal wound. (Rev 13:3) Two meanings. Head = continent. Head = personal. -Who can fight against it. (Rev 13:4) -Blatantly and disdainfully proud. (Rev 13:5) -Treat something sacred with abuse, irreverence, or contempt. (Rev 13:5) -Exercise authority for forty-two months (Time, Times, and Half a Time). (Rev 13:5)(Dan 7:25) -Shall wear out the saints. (Dan 7:25) -Think to change the times and the law. (Dan 9:25) -The antichrist lacks proper respect for God the Father, the Son, and all who dwell in Heaven. (Rev 13:6) -Makes war on the saints by enforcing laws that oppose moral and ethical rights. (Rev 13:7) -Those whose name is not written in the book of life will worship the antichrist. (Rev 13:8) -Practices lying at every opportunity. (John 8:44) -Has weapons of war but do not manage the ammunition. (Rev 6:2) -Was given a crown, or a position of authority. (Rev 6:2) -Came out conquering on the first day/week. (Rev 6:2) -Continuing to conquer. (Rev 6:2) Take a close look at who this is. A few of these signs that stand out for me is the mortal wound, who can fight against it, he shall wear out the saints, and practices lying at every opportunity. Keep in mind, Satan gave his power, throne, and authority to the beast (antichrist). Rev 13:2, “And the beast that I saw was like a leopard; its feet were like a bear’s, and its mouth was like a lion’s mouth. And to it the dragon gave his power and his throne and great authority.” Therefore, the antichrist maintains the same characteristics as Satan. How did Satan approach Eve in the Garden of Eden? Was he angry or threatening? Neither. Satan was crafty! Crafty is clever at attaining one's ends by indirect and often deceptive means. Is he what many expect him to be? A ruler that destroys by force? Perhaps, by using weapons of mass destruction, etc.? Not at all. The antichrist is being destructive without detection. What does Revelation 6:2 say about the crown? It was given to him. Why do you think election integrity has been in the forefront? Why are there so many who defend against this idea? Why is the Southern border open to illegal immigration? Read Ezekiel 7 and you will come to realize why the border is open. Eze 7:21, “And I will give it into the hands of foreigners for prey, and to the wicked of the earth for spoil (to damage seriously), and they shall profane (treat with abuse) it. Ezekiel 7:1-4 speaks to Israel. Verses 5-27 speaks to everyone else, particularly Babylon the great. Remember, the antichrist has 42 months to exercise authority. Rev 13:5, “And the beast was given a mouth uttering haughty and blasphemous words, and it was allowed to exercise authority for forty-two months.” This is 3.5 years. Destruction will occur over this period of time. Recall Rev 17:17 when the antichrist and ten kings hand over their power to the beast (Satan)? Why is that? One reason is that the antichrist and false prophet will be cast into the Lake of Fire before anyone else, including Satan. Rev 19:20, And the beast was captured, and with it the false prophet who in its presence had done the signs by which he deceived those who had received the mark of the beast and those who worshiped its image. These two were thrown alive into the lake of fire that burns with sulfur.” Satan then goes to destruction. Rev 12:12, “Therefore, rejoice, O heavens and you who dwell in them! But woe to you, O earth and sea, for the devil has come down to you in great wrath, because he knows that his time is short!” I’ll point out that the antichrist has 42 months to exercise authority. Satan’s time is short. Recall ‘The Woman and the Dragon’ and the woman being nourished for 1,260 days? The dragon is Satan. 1,260 days equals 3.5 years or 42 months. If the antichrist has 42 months while maintaining Satan’s power, throne, and authority, but then hands them back over to Satan, then that means Satan comes after. This ‘after’ correlates with ‘The Woman and the Dragon.’ Know that God’s Seventy-Weeks decree includes the End Times. It is the seventieth week or 7 years. Half of 7 years is 3.5, or 42 months, or 1,260 days.

There is so much more to cover, but I want to ensure that you are familiar with what the seven heads are, and have an idea of who the ten horns represent. Knowing the antichrist will help to discern who the ten horns are. If you have any questions please feel free to reach out.

Actually the author of this video has neglected Joseph Smith's teachings about the beast 666 that he gave in a general conference to the entire church. A much better understanding than the speculation of this video. Very few church members study it. Why? It's recorded in the teachings of the prophet. Let me show you what Joseph Smith said that takes a lot farther than the speculation in this video. Joseph Smith actually told us what the beast is. See it now with your own eyes.

The mark of the beast is the separation of the world, and move towards the Lord, with no more desire of the world. Either you're for one and against the other ones, so where do you stand before this world is over. We all know where you have to stand after this world is over.

The Lord is my shepherd, I will continue and serve the Lord. Finish my mission on Earth, then I'm ready to get away from this place. I'm ready to go back home. I know when my mission is over here and I quit breathing, I'm headed home. I will not come back unless the Lord need to be to keep serving a mission.

I know this is off topic here but can't find an apropiate place to comment. In the many scriptures we have, the Beast is seen rising out of the many waters. Waters are often used to represent multitudes of people. So It seems to me that the Beast is seen to rise from among a group of people with similar intentions. Consider what is happening in Israel today, it seems to me that the Beast comes from among the Muslim nations who support each other.

I will.now give you the correct meaning: The beast coming up out of the sea is the Roman Empire which persecutes the saints, and it's deadly wound was healed, or the Empire was revived again, and it had power over the saints for 42 months, which are prophetic meaning 1260 years that the church had no public ministry (see JST Rev. 12:5). The beast coming out of the land is the Catholic church and it has two horns which represent the Greek and Roman branches, and it exercised all the power before it, or the Roman Empire! There is a wrong interpretation of the Mark of the beast, or that d kingdom. It should have read WITH the right hand and forehead, or the sign of this beast, or kingdom, or church, or the sign of the cross ( see Mormon Doctrine under this topic! The 666 or DCLXVI was the inscription worn on the mitres of the old bishops of Rome, or the Pope's!!! He doesn't know, but Bruce McConkie knows, and I also know since I have received a personal revelation about this!!! He is speculating, but I am not, and I leave this personal witness and testimony my to you in the name of He's s Christ. Amen.

First thing I think of from this speculation is the role of Tefillin in Judaism, which is used as a sign to bind the heart and mind to God and the commandments. However, the mark of the beast would be what binds the heart and mind on the carnal and rebellious, even as how in genesis man is the last creation of the 6th day, yet there needed to be a 7th day for completion. All speculation, but interesting all the same

@@greentree_ If we are honest then a lot of spiritual leaders in a lot of different religious groups are saying that same thing. If we are also honest then we know that Christ will return at some time in the future and that every day that advances is one day closer to that point. Therefore tomorrow is closer and leads to less time to prepare for that event. Basically, that statement is so general that it doesn't mean anything specifically.
