Understanding the Mark of the Beast

Bible Christianity Jesus Church Faith God Easter

He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Revelation 13:16-17

What Exactly is the Mark of the Beast?

The present day church system is already under the control of the Beast. The Beast is NOT some worldly dictator the professing world expects. In reality, the Beast John saw in Revelation 13 is the Church System in all its apostate glory. Not merely the Catholic System as many have identified over the years, but the ENTIRE professing Christian religious establishment. They are all preaching the message of the Dragon and dispensing his “mark” on mankind. The “Man of Sin”, 2 Thessalonians 2:3, (the so-called anti-Christ) is mankind itself. The word that is used in the Greek is “anthropos” or mankind and not a “tis” or “certain man” . John said that MANY anti-Christ’s have come (1 John 2:18) and it’s the spirit of antiChrist that has been in the world since the beginning. (1 John 4:3)

The Image That Was Revealed to John

John was also shown an IMAGE created by the Beast that lives and breaths and causes everyone within the system to bow down to it in worship.  By doing so they are  to receive a mark on the right hand or forehead. This IMAGE has the appearance of a Lamb but speaks the language of the Dragon through an army of false teachers convinced that this IMAGE is the real Jesus Christ! What this image represents is their Systems of Doctrine that absolves them from obedience to the truth. The head that received the “mortal wound” and recovered is the turning point of Christendom. Specifically when Catholic tyranny lost its monopoly over the kingdoms of men called the Protestant Reformation.

However, Protestantism is merely another head of the SAME monster deceiving millions with another version of the same lies. So the entire system is expressed as a creature with “two horns like a lamb and speaks the language of the Dragon” that causes all the professed on earth to worship the first Beast (apostate system) who supposedly received a fatal blow in the Protestant Reformation. (Revelation 13:11-12) The monster never actually died but still lives and speaks in the form of new age spirit of ecumenicalism sweeping our planet today.

The Entire Church System is the Beast System

Think of the IMAGE in this manner: People get saved in their sins, they receive a “magic cloak of virtue” or “imputed righteousness” from Jesus, they have their sins forgiven in advance because He took their place on the Cross. Jesus suffered God’s Wrath and they are instantly secure even though they sin daily in thought, word and deed. All the while being totally wrapped up in their fleshly desires. The foundation of this is based on the myth they were born in a “morally depraved” condition unable to obey God and He provided a means by which they could be justified while still sinners.

That is the base fundamental view of so called “Reformed Theology” that came out of this period of history. The Reformation was systematized in the Westminster Confession of faith 1646 and handed down to every Protestant denomination since. Its not a reputation of Catholicism or even a return to Apostolic roots, but merely a reinstatement of Augustinian theology that originated in ancient Rome. Thus, the two heads (Beast) of the same monster that was supposedly mortally wounded.

Scripture is the Ultimate Authority

Revelation 13:15-18, “This IMAGE was granted power to both speak and kill anyone who refused to bow down and worship it. Then it caused everyone to “receive a mark” on their forehead or right hand so they were not able to buy or sell without it. Here all the false teachers have you watching for some kind of implantable microchip coming soon from you federal government. If you examine this passage in the original Greek, you will find that John is speaking in highly illustrative metaphors, meaning: a figure of speech in which a term or phrase is applied to something to which it is not literally applicable in order to suggest a resemblance.

The IMAGE represents something created by the beast church. It is granted power by the thousands of false teachers both to speak (great swelling words of emptiness, promise people liberty in their sins 2 Peter 3:18) and kill in a metephorical sense. The purpose is to deprive them of life within the system by limiting their ability to buy or sell” (carry out the trade of preaching true redemption) unless they receive the mark distinguishing them as true followers of the IMAGE.

Why do I say this? Everyone saved in the Church (Beast) System is invited to receive Jesus as a gift for the full payment of their sins, past, present and future. A magical transfer of His virtue to cover their filthy rags of sin and this is EXACTLY the Metaphorical use of John’s words in verse 16, ‘he causes all to receive (as a gift) the Mark on their forehead or right hand! Ask any professed Christian in the Church System how they got saved and they will tell you “I received Jesus as my personal Savior by praying the sinners prayer” or something to that effect.

There will be no mention of deeds worthy of repentance, godly sorrow for sin, a clearing of wrong doing, or taking up the cross to follow Jesus. Only “receive” and “trust” that its all been done in advance and sin is no longer an issue. This is the mystery of lawlessness sweeping the Church System as a strong delusion and why they all take pleasure in their unrighteousness.  Most believers will argue in favor of sin at every turn. (2 Thessalonians 2:7, 10-12) So the MARK is your identity as a supposed “sinner saved by grace” in the Beast System of lies and deceptions.

“He causes all…to receive a mark on their right hand and their foreheads…” Revelation 13:16

WHY is it said to be placed on the forehead or right hand? The forehead represents the mind’s eye and the hand the instrument that leads you into unrighteousness. Remember, it’s received as a gift, NO ONE is forced to take it. It is NOT a physical mark or any kind of implanted device as all the deceivers are telling you. The Mark is spiritual in nature and consists of receiving a different gospel than the one Jesus Preached. (Galatians 1:6-9) How so?

The lamp of the body is the eye. If therefore your eye is good, your whole body will be full of light. But if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in you is darkness, how great is that darkness! (Matthew 6:22-23)

THE EYE is full of light or darkness! Forehead in Revelation 13 is taken from the compound word: “Metopon”, meaning with and eye”, metaphorically spoken:Within the Eye of the Mind”! Therefore, if the EYE is bad, lusting after the things of the world, not plucked out in repentance, or the body of sin put to death (right hand), you’re walking around with the Mark right now!

You have heard that it was said to those of old ‘You shall not commit adultery. But I say to you that whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.  If your right eye causes you to sin, pluck it out and cast it from you; for it is more profitable for you that one of your members perish, than for your whole body to be cast into hell. And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and cast it from you; for it is more profitable for you that one of your members perish, than for your whole body to be cast into hell. (Matthew 5:27-30)

Is the True Gospel Being Preached Anywhere Within the System?

Is there ANYONE in the Beast (Church) System preaching the Gospel? That message that the sinful eye of the flesh has to be cast from you in repentance as well as the selfish indulgences of the body put to death, BEFORE you can enter the Kingdom? Since the proper translation and comparison of these words in Scripture all indicate that this is speaking of a “Stigma” or “mark” (Galasians 5:24) yet to be cast from you, I have to believe John is talking about the professing Christian world bowing to an image of their creation and being saved in their sins by trusting in it as their Savior. Again and again this same thing keeps appearing in Scripture:

Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.  For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father but is of the world. And the world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever 1 John 2:15-17

What comes out of a man that defiles a man. For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lewdness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness. All these evil things come from within and defile a man.” Mark 7:20-23

Cain was the first to receive this mark as his identity when he refused to do Well and Rule over his selfish desires (Genesis 3:15, 4:7) and killed his brother. He stands as the eternal warning to all to be: not as Cain who was of the wicked one and murdered his brother (1 John 3:12) Lust and murder in the heart, one in the same thing and MUST be crucified in repentance or your body will be destroyed in hell. Such things as these are NEVER heard in the Church System where salvation is dispensed as a gift to those who retain their evil eye and call it a sin nature. Christ said the eye must be single and the heart pure or the whole body is full of darkness. The darkness in the Church System is so great they have no idea whatsoever they already have the mark.

They believe its some futuristic implantable device reserved for those who miss out on the Rapture. Sadly, as silly as this sounds, (like a movie plot) most professed Christians will call you a heretic for denying it. Every physical manifestation of the mark is another deception that adds fuel to the fire. Just as pin pointing world events as fulfillments of prophecy. The sitting Pope himself is (and always has been) a pseudo manifestation of the anti Christ, exalting himself above God and worshiped as God. Consequently following the next sign deceives many just as Christ said, they miss the mark because the mark (stigma of sin) has blinded their eyes to the truth.

“…the number of the Beast, for it is the number of a man: number is 666.”  Revelation 13:18

What is the number of his name spoken of in Revelation 13:17-18? This is another occasion for the false teachers in the Beast System to go haywire pointing to every series of digitized numbers that come up 666 as the possible mark! I’ve heard many professed Christians under these lies claim they would die before taking such a chip, card, ID that contained the number “666”. Imagine, they would die resisting a device but NEVER die to sin so they live in Christ.

To understand what John is speaking of we read what is says: the “Number of a man” is the destination of “Mankind” itself. (not a person) In the Greek the word: “Anthropos” means (obviously)Mankind” both male and female. When Scripture speaks of ONE particular man or person it uses the expression: “Tis” as in “Let no (certain one) man deceive you” (2 Thessalonians 2:3) So the number of man (anthropos) in Revelation13:18 is the number of MANKIND and not a certain man! WHY was it translated 666? Simply because biblical numerology has assigned the number six to man in scripture. The question is was John speaking about an actual number or an identity …

(Special Note: ‘the atomic number of ‘Carbon of which man consists, he came from the dust of the earth, Genesis 3:19 which on the periodic table of elements contains: Six Neutrons, Six Electrons and Six Protons, thus 666. This may be consequential to the choice of Six, but it has nothing to do with the understanding of Scripture)

It’s interesting to note also that in John’s time there was no numerical system as we know it today. It came about in the 10th Century, that means the ancient Greek language does NOT use decimals to express numbers. In the Greek alphabet (24 symbols) each symbol was given a weight to represent a number, as:  Α α  was 1, (first letter) and  Ω  ω  24, (last) You can look it up if your interested. The Romans of course used Roman Numerals, such as DCLXVI would represent 666. So people could make attempts to apply the Greek destinations of letters to numbers and try to identify the supposed Anti-Christ. Many tried and actually named certain individuals throughout history but all to no avail because they missed the basic truth that the number of a man, represented Mankind and not a certain man.

In the Original Greek, the Number of 666 Written Out Would Appear as Follows


ἑξακόσιοι ἑξήκοντα ἕξ, hexakósioi hexēkonta héx,  literally; six hundred and sixty-six

However, the phrase number of his name in Revelation is transliterated as  “Chi Xi Stigma”.
(source: Bauer, Thayer) Obviously not the actual Greek expression for six hundred and sixty six as shown above or abbreviated: cxßV, in the ancient Greek.

But stigma, as appears in this word is translated Mark in Galatians 6:17, where Paul says:
From now on let no one trouble me for I bear in my body the MARKS of the Lord Jesus”

In the Greek, Stigma” is a mark of ownership, like one would mark a possession with a brand, engrave, or tattoo to identify a slave. Thus the Stigma of Sin is what remains in the false converts brought to the Beast’s altar to receive Jesus (IMAGE) as the “number of a man” in his unregenerate state in rebellion to God. It’s not really a number at all, but an identity. This applies to all mankind, with the stigma of sin remaining in them.

For further explanation, the English translation of number of his name; ‘Chi Xi Stigma in Revelation 13:18 is not the actual Greek expression for 666. Consider this, if a person wanted to convey the actual number 666 in Greek text it would appear as: cxßV- 666, c  = 600,  x  = 60, ßV = 6  Perhaps written out as: eJxakovsioi eJxhv e&x (as we’ve shown above) It would certainly NOT include the word stigma to designate the numerical value of 666.

Why would John use an expression of compound words relating to a metephorical mark (stigma) when 666 is easily expressed as ‘cxßV? Its because he wasn’t concerned about a certain number but an IDENTITY! When the numerical system we’re accustomed to using was invented translators began designating the ‘number of his name’ as 666, Revelation 13:18, and it was off to the races to pin the tale on the anti-Christ donkey every since! Early on the Latin Kingdom, (Lateinov, Catholic) itself was worked out as 666 and then many of the Popes, but again they’re missing the point entirely, just as today. The anti-Christ system is in their very midst dispensing the mark on all who remain under the stigma of their sin.

Also you will find in the Strongs lexicon the phrase is translated; ‘six hundred and sixty six’ and they call any speculation into it ‘vain, but understand that Strong’s himself was a Methodist and sold out to dispensational theology, so it stands to reason he would argue in favor of a ‘futuristic mark’ taking the heat off the apostasy he was a part of.

The Greek expression stands as is: Chi Xi Stigma, a compound word that ends with the word Mark-stigma, so the MARK of a man (or on a man) is his identity, whether it be of God, (Revelation 14 we see God marking His people) or of sin, the lustful eye of the flesh (1 John 2:16) never plucked out and cast away in repentance. The only way to escape this mark to Obey Christ and come out from among them, stop sharing in their sins and be set free!

I heard another voice from heaven saying, “Come out of her, my people, lest you share in her sins, and lest you receive of her plagues. For her sins have reached to heaven, and God has remembered her iniquities. (Revelation 18:4-5)

The Mystery of Iniquity

Now, brethren, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him, we ask you, not to be soon shaken in mind or troubled, either by spirit or by word or by letter, as if from us, as though the day of Christ had come. Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition, who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.  Do you not remember that when I was still with you I told you these things? And now you know what is restraining, that he may be revealed in his own time. 

For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only ‘at present is now restrained ‘and will be so, until ‘events come to pass ‘and then the ‘wickedness will be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the breath of His mouth and destroy with the brightness of His coming. The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders, and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie, that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness. 2 Thessalonians 2:1-12

The Greatest Desire of Satan is to be Worshipped as God

 Ezkekiel 28 explains that he is revealed as a perfect, high, and exalted being in God’s kingdom who in the abundance of his trading (merchandising) became filled with evil and violence and turned into the “Prince and power of the air” god of this age. He blinds the eyes of men by corrupting the Word of God. From the beginning of his rebellion, he has manifested himself in the form of: Angels of Light, Ministers of Righteousness, world leaders, and wicked minions in general (2 Corinthians 11:13-15). The “Man of Sin” (mankind) are his compliant participants, as many sons of Perdition, desiring wealth, power, and dominance over the earth.  They were attempting to steal, kill, and destroy as a mystery of lawlessness (iniquity) that was already at work in the times of the Apostles and has spread its influence until now.

When John was given his revelation of the coming age, he called himself “your companion in Tribulation” (Revelation 1:9) because the war on the Saints had already begun! The “Beast” (system) had yet to be fully revealed, as Paul explains in 2 Thessalonians 2:1-12, because at present, it was being restrained by true Spirit filled Saints, purged, purified and overcoming sin, the flesh and the devil. (representing the Holy remnant throughout the ages) This remained in place during the brutal persecutions of the Christians at the hands of several “men of sin” Roman Caesars, from Nero to Diocletian, ending around 305 AD. However, the events then came to pass that turned the tables again on the faithful and wickedness prevailed. The Dragon (Satan and his minions) dispersed the faithful and established their own system of religion in Rome (Revelation 12:13-17).

Nevertheless, the faithful kept God’s Commandments and the testimony of their faith in Jesus Christ. The witness of His Gospel did not vanish from the earth! Satan holds sway or influence over the world (1 John 5:19), but has been stripped of his full advantage over mankind by the Cross (Colossians 2:15). The KJV Bible uses the word “He Spoiled principalities and powers”, but it does not mean He put Satan out of business entirely. He bound the strong man (Matthew 12:29) by spoiling or stripping him of his full dominion over the minds of men. They can now escape and resist his wiles through a victorious faith that rules over sin, the flesh and the devil (1 John 5:4-5).

During the Church Age (undetermined period of time before the Lord’s return), he is till the roaring lion seeking whom he may devour (1 Peter 5:8-9), and the Saints must remain vigilant so not to stray into his realm of influence.

Satan’s Deception is his Influence on the Establishment Church System

I believe that Satan’s (temporary) victory over the religious system occurred in all its glory around 330-400 AD when the first Beast rose up out of the sea of nations. He was representing the Holy Roman Empire out the remnants of the old empire. Divided by civil war (285-330 AD),  Constantine united the Eastern Empire under the banner of Christianity.  In doing so he blended it into the Pagan worship and twisted philosophies of Rome. This is how the dragon gave his authority to the Beast and the Christianized Roman establishment.  They killed anyone who did not submit to that authority. Ignatius invented the word “Catholic” meaning universal”.  It then became an Episcopal System able to reign terror on dissenters and annex the Word of God by keeping it out of the hands of the common people.

Thus, the war on the Saints continued as the Beast System blasphemed God and merchandized the souls of men, with the exception of those who overcame sealing their testimony in blood (Revelation 13:1-8). You can trace the Satanic influence of this system through the first millennium and onward to the Reformation. Many more false teachers, men of sin, sons of Perdition then rose up and were cast down to ultimate ruin from 330 AD through 1453 AD.

In this period of history we have the medieval times, the Dark Ages, the Crusades, the horrible plagues, and finally the fall of Constantinople (tribulations). The tables turned again against the Beast” and it received the “deadly wound” during this period of great upheaval, coinciding with the invention of the printing press in Germany. The Renaissance in Europe and the advent of the so called Protestant Reformation (1517 AD).  However the Dragon” put plan B into action by shifting his tactics on the Protestants.

John was shown this Second Beast” rising up out of the earth who had “two horns like a lamb but spoke the language of the Dragon”.  Through another army of false teachers, men of sin, and sons of Perdition, this Beast exercises its authority over the earth (professing Church system) and deceived them again.  The first “Beast”  wasn’t slayed by returning to the Apostolic Roots of Christianity, but kept alive by inventing an alternative religion in the form of many denominations, molded after the language of the Dragon” in its originality systematized in the council and creeds expressed in the 1646 AD Westminster Confession of Faith.

So the deadly wound” was healed and the Beast system took on the likeness of the woman on the Scarlet Beast collectivized with the world and merchandizing in the souls of men. The “two horns” representing the Catholic and Protestant systems, all preaching essentially the same message.

“He was granted power to give breath to the image of the beast…” Revelation 13:15

The IMAGE erected to the Beast (System) is many things to many people. To the professing Christian world it represents the counterfeit image of Jesus Christ who has their sins covered, pre-forgiven, and the wrath of God diverted. In the Catholic realm, they are absolved through the sacraments and traditions. So to the Protestants, they are saved by a provision. To the Catholics, its by special unctions administered by the Priests. They all Bow to the “IMAGE”, believing it to be the one and only true God, but in reality its Satan who has achieved his ultimate goal to be worshipped as a god!

Paul explains; who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God that is worshipped as God, and sits as God, in the Temple of God, showing himself that he is god!” (2 Thessalonians 2:4) It’s not the Temple in Jerusalem but in the TEMPLE of men’s hearts (1 Corinthians 3:16-17, 2 Corinthians 6:16). That’s where he has established his kingdom over the minds of religious men. THIS is the “Mystery of Lawlessness” (iniquity) that does already work in the Sons of Disobedience”, who will not cast away the evil eye of their flesh and purify their hearts purging out the root of iniquity.

Those who bow to this IMAGE receive its Mark” (identity) as a gift and are permitted to buy and sell within the system they have chosen to follow. Those with the Father’s Name written on their foreheads (their identity) are deprived of life within the systems. To many this means they are hunted and literally killed (as has happened throughout history to now). Others however are still permitted to live but forbidden to carry out a trade (of preaching true redemption) within the Beast system. The number of a man is represented by this identity” (Mark) and the number six assigned in Biblical numerology to man, (as Nebuchadnezzar, Saul, Judas) or something man is trying to achieve in his own wisdom and strength. Just as the gold that came to Solomon from Tyre, merchandizing center of trade, was six hundred threescore and six talents( 1 Kings 10:14).

Although the literal translation of the “number of his name’ in Revelation 13:18, is NOT the Greek designation for 666, but transliterated “Chi Xi Stigma”, expressing an identity” and not a literal mark or some kind of implanted device. Six is still the number of man, but running around in panic every time you see a 666 in a RFID Code or some other electronic serial number is childish non sense programmed into you by the phony prophecy pundits who make money on your ignorance.

What is the Conclusion?

The entire deception of futuristic teaching sweeping the Churches is based on this single error of expecting an anti-Christ person to show up on the scene and kick off the beginning of the Tribulation. With that of course comes the supposed Rapture to rescue the Church out of danger. It’s all the spirit of strong delusion as 2 Thessalonians 2:11 says that God allowed to come to pass on those who choose to believe the Lie (they could be saved in their sins) and take pleasure in unrighteousness.  The REAL Saints, in this mix, are the ones overcoming and having victory over the “Beast, his Image, the Mark and the Number of his name” (Revelation 15:2, 3:8) or sin, the flesh, and the devil.

Keeping His Word and NOT denying His Name NOW and not in the future is how you avoid receiving the “mark”.  “Here is the patience of the saints; here are those who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus” (Revelation 14:12). They came OUT of the Beast system (Revelation 18:4-5), because they hear His voice and keep His Word (John 10:27). The hirelings who mechanize your soul are the thieves and robbers (false prophets, error of wicked, spirit of error) who have entered through another means instead of repentance and faith proven by deeds. That’s why the Church system is where the wolves prowl and devour the senseless sheep, sleeping in darkness.

The Mystery” is no mystery at all if you would awaken to the truth and get out of the Beast system. The Man of Sin is mankind (anthropos) itself given over to self indulgent iniquity. Those who have come into the faith by other means and receive Jesus, repeat after me, trust in His finished work, instead of crucifying their evil passions and desires in repentance (Galatians 5:24, Rom6:4-6). If you believe that the “Mark” is universal to mankind and the anti-Chrsit is a certain person (yet to be revealed), HOW does that differ from what has already taken place? The “Stigma” (mark, identity) of sin is ever present in all those who profess to be saved in Christ because if they deny there is sin in them they are liars who know not the truth! By their own admission they are the chief of sinners with desperately wicked hearts and anything they attempt to do to please God is nothing but filthy rags of self righteousness.

What is there YET to come that isn’t already taking place? John said that Even now MANY antichrists have come, by which we KNOW that it is the last hour”, (1 John 2:18). The spirit of anti-christ is NOW already at work in the world (1 John 4:3). If you deny this and keep looking to the future, you MISS the point entirely and remain in darkness. Christ said the SAME things.

Then if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or ‘There!’ do not believe it. For false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect. See, I have told you beforehand. Matthew 24:23-25

Take heed that you not be deceived. For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am He,’ and, ‘The time has drawn near.’ Therefore do not go after them. Luke 21:8

The false Christs, false prophets, and deceivers are in your Churches! They are not in satanic cults. Professing Christianity today is the BIGGEST cult of all! The worst of the worst that has untold millions of mindless souls rallying around the banner of  “Saved in Sin, Jesus did it all, receive and trust Him”. They cannot discern the times and seasons anymore. While they perish in their sins and wait for the phony Rapture, the world around them descends further into the depths of Satan and envelopes them in a deadly snare that few will escape. Whether we are actually facing the culmination of the times and seasons (the Days of Noah) is yet to be seen.

Our present world could easily explode into turmoil beyond anyone’s wildest imaginations and billions could perish in an instant. But one thing is certain, the professed Church is WHOLLY unprepared to meet the Lord and is in the grips of iniquity. The Day of the Lord will not be a joyous event for them, but one of weeping and gashing of teeth as their present world dissolves with all the fairy tales they thought would saved them.

But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will melt with fervent heat; both the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up. Therefore, since all these things will be dissolved, what manner of persons ought you to be in holy conduct and godliness, looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be dissolved, being on fire, and the elements will melt with fervent heat? Nevertheless we, according to His promise, look for new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells. Therefore, beloved, looking forward to these things, be diligent to be found by Him in peace, without spot and blameless (2 Peter 3:10-14)
