You need to study original greek word, anthrōpou, which means "of man" found elsewhere in Scripture. Look it up! It is your modern English translators who have added "a" to it.
"of man"
In Genesis 11, tower of babel - 4 And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.

What is that name and the number of that name?

Greater Israel


Rev 2:9 I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.


1Jn 2:22 Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.
1Jn 2:23 Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: (but) he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also.


Rev 11:8 And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified.

Greater Israel? Did you understand the question? Apparently not.

Genesis 11 was long before Israel existed. The tower was at Babel.

It is the same Satanic conspiracy that began in the Book of Genesis.

Rev 11:8 And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified.

"Sodom" is found in the Book of Genesis.



Some of us cannot tell the difference between the counterfeit and the real thing.

Of course it would be a fulfillment of prophecy. The speaker is so confused. He doesn't understand the difference between theology and prophecy. He could be thrown off his balance real easily with this passage from Revelation. What temple is this? Who's temple is this?

Revelation 15:
6 And the seven angels came out of the temple, having the seven plagues, clothed in pure and white linen, and having their breasts girded with golden girdles.

7 And one of the four beasts gave unto the seven angels seven golden vials full of the wrath of God, who liveth for ever and ever.

8 And the temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God, and from his power; and no man was able to enter into the temple, till the seven plagues of the seven angels were fulfilled.

______________________________________________________________________

The temple the Jews are going to be build will be intended to for the praise and worship of the true God. Whether God's presence is in that building or not is irrelevant.

The speaker is in denial to reality and is trying to explain it away. Things are taking place counter to his eschatology understanding, and he is not accepting that he is wrong about a lot of things.

I ask you what is the name, referring to this verse....

Buy or sell WHAT, exactly?
Everything that you can actually buy or sell in exchange of money ...without the VISIBLE mark you will not be allowed to buy anything including foods.

Add to that that everyone who will refuse to take the mark and will refuse to worship the beast and his image will be put to death
Revelation 13
15 And it was given [unto him] to give breath to it, [even] to the image to the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as should not worship the image of the beast SHOULD BE KILLED.

16 And he causeth all, the small and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the free and the bond, that there be given them a mark on their right hand, or upon their forehead; 17 and that no man should be able to buy or to sell, save he that hath the mark, [even] the name of the beast or the number of his name.

18 Here is wisdom. He that hath understanding, let him count the number of the beast; for it is the number of a man: and his number is Six hundred and sixty and six.

You do not understand the NATURE of the mark. God did not warn us against taking a physical mark in order to feed or shelter our physical bodies. That is absurd! God has already given us water, food, and material to survive in this world, Selah! Those things belong to Him.

Rather, God is talking about our spiritual standing. A spiritual mark of the beast is to show that they become owned by Satan who has rejected God and His Word (which the merchandise of Revelation 18 represents) where they only can buy and sell Satan's merchandises (false doctrines) instead. That is why the Elect mourned over the spiritual condition of the church:

Revelation 18:10-11
[10] Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come.
[11] And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for no man buyeth their merchandise any more:

That is why those deceived by Satan will not be able to buy OUR merchandise of salvation because they are not sealed by God. They are marked by Satan that they only are buying the false merchandises coming out of the mouth of Satan's army of false prophets and christs.

It is a spiritual war with a spiritual mark. You, carnal people, are blind to what is going on thinking the prophecies are all about national Israel, physical wars, physical famines, and physical mark, etc.

Well the word was not written in English. Its not 666. Its 600,60,6. yet some other scrolls show 600,16,6. Each number means something. Its the number of his.. his name. Its a person that has a name. So many get lost on this. As if they KNOW who it is. Yet.. the restrainer is still holding back the lawless one. When He/it is removed then and only then will we know just who the Antichrist is
The Bible tell us where [not the precise location though] on Earth the Beast is actually restrained until that God decide that the time is come to let the Beast go...

Yet without money you cannot actually have any of it...
Do you go hunting or do you go to the grocery and pay for what you need ?

No ,the mark will be a VISIBLE mark that people will be FORCED to take ...or DIE if you belong to Christ and refuse to take it.

The VISIBLE MARK = OWNED BY THE BEAST.
Revelation 14:9-13
9 And another angel, a third, followed them, saying with a great voice, If ANY man worshippeth the beast and his image, and receiveth a mark on his forehead, or upon his hand, 10 he also shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is prepared unmixed in the cup of his anger; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: 11 and the smoke of their torment goeth up for ever and ever; and they have no rest day and night, they that worship the beast and his image, and whoso receiveth the mark of his name.

12 Here is the patience of the saints, they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.

13 And I heard the voice from heaven saying, Write, Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from henceforth: yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labors; for their works follow with them.

Oh, which is?
The Bottomless Pit.
Revelation 17:8

8 The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and is about to come up out of the Bottomless Pit, and to go into perdition. And they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, [they] whose name hath not been written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast, how that he was, and is not, and shall come.


Revelation 9:1-2
9 And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star from heaven fallen unto the earth: and there was given to him the key of the pit of the abyss.

2 And he opened the pit of the abyss; and there went up a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit.

Revelation 9:11
11 They have over them as king THE ANGEL of the abyss: his name in Hebrew is Abaddon, and in the Greek [tongue] he hath the name Apollyon.

This has happened to many people all over the earth in history that does not require the mark. Move on. You lack spiritual discernment.

And they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, [they] whose name hath not been written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast, how that he was, and is not, and shall come.

Revelation 9:11
11 They have over them as king THE ANGEL of the abyss: his name in Hebrew is Abaddon, and in the Greek [tongue] he hath the name Apollyon.

Of course, I am aware about these verses. And?...

Where is a bottomless pit? A physical place? And what does bottomless pit do with the beast? Who is the beast? Is a beast a physical where Christ has bound with a literal chain and key?

So many questions, yet so few answers!

What? Listen to yourself. You came up with suppositions with "what if's" without really understand what the Scripture said about the beast and his mark.

Move on!

A physical place located inside the Earth where ANGEL ABADDON [-The Beast who shall go into perdition that the whole Earth shall wonder Revelation 17:8] IS ACTUALLY LOCKED WITH HIS LITTLE NASTY FRIENDS.

Move on!

People who will be living on the Earth during the 42 months reign of the Beast will be forced to make a choice...taking the mark to survive or die for Christ.

Revelation 14:9-13 is very clear about it.
Revelation 14:9-13
9 And another angel, a third, followed them, saying with a great voice, If any man worshippeth the beast and his image, and receiveth a mark on his forehead, or upon his hand, 10 he also shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is prepared unmixed in the cup of his anger; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: 11 and the smoke of their torment goeth up for ever and ever; and they have no rest day and night, they that worship the beast and his image, and whoso receiveth the mark of his name.

A physical place, you say? Let examine:

Revelation 20:1-3
[1] And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand.
[2] And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,
[3] And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season.

Satan, as a spiritual being, could be bound in "a physical place inside the Earth" secured with a physical key and chain?!

I ask you what is the name, referring to this verse....

Genesis 11:4 And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.

You reply with some video that has no relevancy. And say - greater Israel....sheesh? Israel was not even around at the time of the tower of Babel.

Pastor Chuck Baldwin used to promote the same system of interpretation that you now promote.
He is no longer confused.
He finally woke up and saw the truth.

Nobody that rejects God's Son is going to build a temple that has anything to do with the one true God.

The temple in Revelation 15 is the same temple found at the end of Revelation chapter 11.


Rev 11:19 And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in his temple the ark of his testament: and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail.


The name found in Genesis 11:4 and in Revelation 2:9, is Satan.

Rev 2:9 I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.



Anything that is against God, is Satan.
It is antichrist. (1 John 2:22-23)

Satan/Lucifer is a CHERUB and is as physical than you and me :

Lucifer The Anointed Cherub | Right Division


...the ANGELS have been created by God and have a body who is immortal].

By the way ANGEL ABADDON who is ACTUALLY LOCKED INTO THE BOTTOMLESS PIT Revelation 9:11 is not Satan who will be locked AT THE SECOND COMING OF JESUS Revelation 20:1-3 ...
