The Marks and Wonders - of God, or the Beast
by Ray Prinzing

"And he caused all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive A MARK in their right hand, or in their forehead:..." (Revelation 13:16)

"--if any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, the same shall drink of the wind of the wrath of God." (Revelation 14:9,10)

It is with the prayer of the Psalmist, as the earnest cry of our heart, that we would share this message and challenge others.  "Let my heart be sound in They statues; that I be not ashamed." (Psalm 119:80) Amen.

There has been, and is much speculation concerning the "mark of the beast" as people cast an apprehensive eye toward various events which arise, wondering if these situations are leading into some terrifying hour which shall climax with a fearful Beast demanding that they take a mark which will seal their fate, or else cause them to give their life for what they believe.  But we have often pondered the fact that were our "adversary" always exposed to us as a "roaring lion" there would not be so much probability of our succumbing, since we would recognize him, and seek for God's deliverance or protection.  But when the devil transforms himself into an angel of light appearance, then the subtileness of his actions beguile many into falling into a snare.  And so it is with this in mind that we have sought the Lord for an understanding of the "SPIRITUAL NATURE" of this MARK, and would share with you that which has now been quickened to us.  May the Spirit make it personally real to every heart.

It is also our firm conviction that not only is this a mark with spiritual implications, but that there is another mark in the positive realm that counter-balances the negative realm.  Therefore we are even more interested in the MARK OF GOD than we are in anything which belongs to the bestial system, since to bear the mark of God would insure one against coming under the other.
