The Mark of the Beast Rev Dr Tommy Rodriguez Jr

THIS SINGLE-PERSPECTIVE, ONENESS THEOLOGICAL Argument was written with the sole intent of providing truth, clarity, and revelation to all individuals-the Believer and non-Believer alike, with reference to an extremely notorious, greatly misunderstood, as well as highly controversial subject matter-The Mark of The Beast. In achieving this objective, an in-depth approach of the Word of God has been implemented. In short, several prophetic Scriptures have been utilized, in order to provide whatever is useful and necessary in achieving complete understanding of this grossly misunderstood subject matter. The following general thesis statement is submitted as the central assertion of this theological paper: Despite what Christianity (in general) affirms, The Mark of The Beast is not 666. The presupposition, then, rests solely upon the following Claim: The Biblical phrase, Six hundred threescore and six (as appears within the original Greek Textus Receptus [The New Testament Greek readings manuscript from which the King James Version was translated]), which is being presented here, is not meant to be taken as being the literal number 666. In other words, this written-out "numerical value" is not to be translated into English integer format, meaning 666. But, it is to be translated into English from the Greek letter format. Therefore, I will provide sound Biblical Evidence that The Mark of The Beast is Chi (X), that The Name of The Beast is "Perfect Creature of The Earth" (interpreted as being "Perfect One"), and that The Number of The Beast is 6 (possibly written as VI). With this said, the current viewpoint of the Church, including Orthodoxy Christianity, then, may be said to be laden with numerous Scriptural inconsistencies, to say the least! In other words, after comprehensive Biblical research, I have found a substantial amount of error that has been taught within Christianity (generally speaking) as being truth. Now, contrary to standard expository writing guidelines, please allow me to state that it is my professional opinion that this has occurred due to a lack of Biblical understanding, faulty Biblical research, as well as spiritual blindness on the part of our 21st-Century Church patriarchs-causing, unfortunately, improper hermeneutical and exegetical doctrinal teaching with reference to The Mark of The Beast, The Name of The Beast, and The Number of The Beast. As you read through this Single-perspective, Oneness Theological Argument, I ask that you sincerely pray-seeking after The Wisdom of God-asking God to unveil His truth, and to provide complete understanding of this profound subject matter. But most importantly, to reveal the spiritual significance of The Mark of The Beast, The Name of The Beast, and The Number of The Beast as clearly cited within Revelation 13:16-18.
