Multi-definitions for
multi-applications ....
In the Book of Revelation it talks about a Mark in the hand or
forehead. The Greek word for "in" is "epi",
and it has many many meanings. We will highlight three and four
meanings here.
There are three meanings for the word "in" ( the Greek
word "epi" ).
1. It can mean in ( within, inside)
2. It can mean in as 'in the hand'
3. and it also includes the meaning "on", as in/ on
the forehead.
We at Apocalyptic Hope believe that all of these meanings apply
to the Mark of the Beast.
1. A subdermal chip will be inside the right hand. This is THE
mark of the beast, an incision.
2. An e-ID smart card ( with a PKI microprocessor) can be used by
the hand for 666 banking;
3. and finally an external mark---- a laser tattoo----- most
likely will be placed on the hand or forehead to show one's
allegiance to the Beast and his 666 economic system.
It is our belief that ALL of the above applies.
Four Warnings :
Here are some Scriptures to back up these beliefs:
1. The main
meaning of the word "in" is primarily within
the hand.
"in their right hand" Rev. 13:16
......... a subdermal chip
......... the "Mark"
2. And yet, IN can also mean 'held in the
hand', such as an e-ID smart card that makes
666 financial transactions
IN the name, number or image of the Beast embedded IN the e-ID
smart card itself.
"IN" his hand " ( kjv Rev. 14:9 ) ........ does not designate
right or left hand
The e-ID card serves as
A. a national ID card,
B. a passport,
C. a driver's license
D. and a National Health Card
All four of those above operations most likely do not involve the
recipient's computational interaction.
E.
Only one function of the
e-ID smart card involves the computational interaction of the
recipient and that is to use the National ID smart card as a
bankcard. ( for financial transactions)
It is that specific interaction that is highly questionable.
Does the bankcard refer to the Beast ( image, name or number ) or
his 666 economic system in any way ?
( worship by affiliation and loyalty
)
Then it is our belief that we as Believers cannot perform any
financial transactions with that e-ID smart card that signifies
the Beast and his system.
It has then morphed into a demonic tool.
3. Thirdly, IN can also
apply to the fact that one punches IN the numbers '666' before
making their financial transaction.
This may or may not be the case, yet it is something to consider.
"let him COUNT (compute) the number of the
beast" Rev. 13:18;
http://www.jvim.com/newsletter/pastissues/2003/20030728.html
http://www.angelfire.com/nm/YAHUAHSHUA/#_Hlk443753397
4. And fourthly, by dictionary-definition, in can also mean
'ON"... and that would apply to the fact that one has ON his
hand or forehead an image or a tattoo or a logo that is
associated with the Beast ( image, name, number ) and his 666
System.
All four meanings apply. We are fore-warned and four-warned.

"Mark in
or on the hand or
forehead?"
with reformatting by Apocalyptic Hope
From Mark Rouleau:
"Applied Digital [VeriChip]
has consulted theologians and appeared on the religious
television program
the "700 Club" to assure viewers the chip didn't fit
the biblical description of the mark because it is under
the skin ("in" not "on") and hidden from
view."
This is one of those things that I worry about is that people
will take the chip "in" their hands because their Bible
says"on". One little word (letter) can make a big
difference.
Agape, Mark rouleau-law@afo.net <><

AH: we have inserted
quotation marks around "in" and "on" for
emphasis.
For more information on the microchip and the 666 Mark of the
Beast, please see:
www.cybertime.net/~ajgood/chipindex.html
from Apocalyptic Hope :
The Mark of the Beast (MOB) first appears in Revelation/ Apocalypse 13:16...
Here is the Authorized KJV version --- the ORIGINAL version....
"And he (second beast, meaning the false prophet ) causeth
all,
both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond,
to receive a mark
in their right hand, or in their
foreheads:
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.
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." (666)

http://www.blueletterbible.org/tmp_dir/c/1101561170-5497.html#16
Here is the Textus Receptus translation found in the original
Strong's Concordance:
James Strong's interpretation:
http://www.sacrednamebible.com/kjvstrongs/STRGRK19.htm#S1909
Note well :" in a
place " ... the Mark is placed IN
the hand.
Now when you have multiple
meanings from one root word, how do
you know which meaning to use ?
You interpret the meaning of the word by :
1. The exact translation found in the original
KJV Bible ( Authorized version)
2. You use common sense.
We have already found out that the original
Authorized KJV Bible translates "epi" as:
"IN" the right hand or "IN" the forhead. Now
let's use our common sense.
If the subdermal chip placed in the right hand or forehead ( most
likely a laser tattoo on the forehead ) gives one access to the
666 economic system which patronizes the name, number ( 666 ) and
image of the Beast ( antiChrist, anti-Messiah, world leader,
"one voice")
....... then THAT subdermal chip is condemned and forbidden.
"If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, and quacks like
a duck then it must be a duck ! "
Now since the Greek word "epi" can mean
both "in"
and "on", we must bear in
mind that anything
referring to the name, number and image of the Beast that would
be placed "ON"
the right hand or forehead would also
be forbidden...like an
image (tattoo ) . Any external sign indicates an internal
allegiance.
Allegiance in this case is "worship", or loyalty, to
the man and his enclosed system.
Would an external
image, name or number ( like a tattoo ) also
be placed ON the right
hand or forehead to publicly show affiliation, and also to
witness to the fact that the subdermal chip has already been
received by that individual ?
That too would be forbidden since we are told in Rev. 14:9--11
that anyone who worships the Beast is condemned forever.
To
Take the MOB is to
worship the Beast and his 666 economic system
If anyone tells you that it is ok to take the 666 Mark of the
Beast physically just so long as you do not "worship"
the Beast, that is heresy, false teaching, a seducing
spirit, and a doctrine of devils.
1 Timothy 4:1, 2 ..... 1 Timothy 6:3-5..... 2 Timothy 4:4 ..... 2 Timothy 3: 13, 14 ;
Acts 20:29, 30 .... Isaiah 32:6 ..... Colossians 2:8 ....... 2 Thessalonians 2:10, 11.
Why
is taking the 666 MOB an act of worship in itself ?
Because today our currency is transacted in the name of God
Almighty... the God of the Judeo-Christian Bible. "In God We
Trust" is on our currency ( bills and coins) and because of
God's name, the dollar has been the standard for world trade.
However, as America abandons the Faith of her fathers and
abandons God, we will see the eft transfer of
funds in the name of the Beast. We will have switched our
allegiance from "In God we Trust" to allegiance in the
666 Beast for trust.
There will be no more "In God we trust". Instead, all
will trust in the 666 e-commerce system of the Beast.
That is worship !
"Let them alone: they
be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind,
both shall fall into the ditch." Matthew 15:14 ;
" Can the blind lead the blind ?" Luke 6:39
It is also heresy to state that just because you are a Christian
( Born-Again, written in the Lamb's Book of Life, sealed,
baptized )
that you have special immunity from the consequence of taking the
Mark of the Beast.
God can put names in books and out
of books.
"If any man
shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God
shall take away His part out of the book of life, and out of the
holy city, and from the things written in this book. "( That covers it all
)
--Revelation 22:19
To take the 666
Mark of the Beast as a Christian and then try to justify it is a
modern update of OSAS.
( Once Saved, Always Saved). We do not believe in OSAS.
You can't have your cake and eat it too.
It is no "coincidence" that Rev. Chapter 14 includes
the fact that the 144,000 are chosen to declare the Word of God
because in them was found "no guile" ( no misleading
translations).
a microprocessor chip embedded in ID smart card; can compute
hitachi
From Mark Rouleau, who graciously
researched each Bible Version :
Mark Rouleau shows us how the modern versions replace the word
"in" with the word "on" thus confusing people
about the imbedded microchip to be inserted under the skin as
being the actual mark of the beast, when associated with the
name, number (666) and image of the Beast.
Mark Rouleau begins his comparisons with Rev. 14:9....

Catholic Bibles....
Douay-Rheims and The Jerusalem Bible
both say "on" rather than the correct "in".
Comment from "Jesus Groupie" RR Chat Nov.
24, 2004
The KJV plainly says that the mark is IN the hand, not
on the hand. When it says IN, I believe it means exactly that.
Before civilization could ever dream of such a possiblility it
was told of in the bible; it is here now for us to see with our
own eyes. You won't be able to buy or sell unless you have it.
That chip is the closet thing to it that I can think of.
Now, if you let something be put IN your hand, knowing the bible
specifically says you should not, then do so at your own peril,
knowing what you are doing.
Revelation 20:4
And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given
unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the
witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not
worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his
mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they
lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years._________________
CHARIGMA ... an
incision
Only the Authorized King James Version of the Bible warns this
generation not to take the implanted microchip
for buying and selling, as it is associated with the name, number
( 666 ) and image of the Beast , and therefore
constitutes worship.
The Christian
World www.geocities.com/disciplepp
Paul Polyrakis,
from the Island of Malta
Pastor Polyrakis has
graciously consented to translate "Shopping with 666"
into Greek for our website. May the Lord greatly bless him for
that.
Pastor Paul shared with us how the word "mark" in Greek
is "XARAGMA" which is our word
"charagma"....meaning an engraving. This helps us to
understand that the Mark is IN
the hand, rather than 'on' the hand.
"Charagma" ( "mark" ) and Technology
"What is this mark? A study of the word
"mark" and the word "666" reveals that the
mark will be incised or punched
[ injected] into the skin ... This description fits perfectly,
with the now available micro-chip implant which is punched
[ injected ] into the skin with an incisor

Can one
who takes the Mark Of the Beast ever be forgiven ?
ED:
We prefer not to deal with this question, but since it has
already been brought up, we felt led to address the issue.
Never say never ...
ACCURACY COUNTS :
Some people believe that if you take the Mark of the Beast ( MOB
) you can never be forgiven.
That statement is not in the Bible. The Bible says this : Rev. 14: 9--11.
And
the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice,
"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 wine of the wrath of God, which is
poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation;
and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence
of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:
and the smoke of their torment ascendeth up forever 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 / Apocalypse 14: 9--11
The Bible also says this Mark 9: 43, 44
"And
if thy hand offend thee, cut it off :
It is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two
hands to go into hell,
into the fire that never shall be quench:
Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched."
-- Mark 9: 43, 44
The understanding we have is this : Whatever you do, DON"T
take the MOB !!!
Anyone who takes the MOB is destined for hell.
Should you take the MOB, and later truly
grieve in heartfelt repentance , then this
applies to you:
As long as a person is alive, one has a chance to repent, and
therefore escape hell.
Old saying: "While there is life, there's hope"
" He
that cometh to Me I will in no wise cast out " - John 6:
37
Repentance in this case
would necessitate the removing of the MOB, which can only be
surgically removed since it is bio-bonded
with the body.
Removal of the MOB during the Great Tribulation will most likely
be outlawed, so one is left to perform this otherwise,
Which invites infection and gangrene, and necessitates the
removal of the hand completely.
Unless one realizes the full and entire consequences of taking
the MOB, one will jeopardize themselves irreparably.
Best not to take the MOB at all !!!
