Revelation 13:16,17 – And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: [17] 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.
I closed Part 9 by saying I would continue to talk about what causes the mark to be a necessity, which is, of course, great famine across one-fourth of the world. The one-fourth will be the known world that existed at the time John wrote the book of Revelation, and it will be in that area that the mark is accepted by most of the inhabitants.
Revelation 6:8 – And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with THE BEASTS OF THE EARTH.
As I indicated in the exposition of Revelation 6:1-8 in Part 9, the last three riders on the red, black, and pale horses, are identified as the takers of life over one-fourth of the earth. The red horse rider shed the red color of blood with the sword. The black horse rider caused the black around the eyes associated with intense famine. The pale horse rider, whose horse is a pale yellow-green, produces the color associated with pestilence illnesses that cause this pre-demise color by the “bug” of infectious death. The four judgments in this verse are by sword, famine, pestilence, and the beasts of the earth. The same four judgments were passed on Jerusalem during the Babylonian siege.
Ezekiel 14:21 – For thus saith the Lord God; How much more when I send my four sore judgments upon Jerusalem, the sword, and the famine, and the NOISOME BEAST, and the pestilence, to cut off from it man and beast?
According to the writings of the Jewish historian Josephus, all four of these judgments came upon Jerusalem during both the Babylonian and the Roman sieges of 587 B.C. and A.D. 70. During the Roman siege the famine became so intense that they ate the babies immediately after they were born.
Luke 21:23,24 – But woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck, in those days! for there shall be great distress in the land, and wrath upon this people. [24] And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.
Once again, because of Israel’s ever growing secular departure from belief in the God of Israel, both the land and Jerusalem are again going to be recipients of these judgments.
Zechariah 13:8 – And it shall come to pass, that in all the land, saith the Lord, two parts therein shall be cut off and die; but the third shall be left therein.
Zechariah 14:1,2 – Behold, the day of the Lord cometh, and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee. [2] For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city.
But at the end of God’s judgments, Israel will repent and turn to their God through Jesus their Messiah in the Negev wilderness. God will then go forth and fight for them against their enemies, and once again He will restore them to greatness, but this time it will be forever.
Zechariah 14:3 – Then shall the Lord go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle.
Zechariah 13:9 – And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried: they shall call on my name, and I will hear them: I will say, It is my people: and they shall say, The Lord is my God.
Zechariah 14:11 – And men shall dwell in it, and there shall be no more utter destruction; but Jerusalem shall be safely inhabited.
Zechariah 14:9 – And the Lord shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one Lord, and his name one.
Zechariah 14:16 – And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall even go up from year to year to worship the King, the Lord of hosts, and to keep the feast of tabernacles.
In areas of the most intense famine areas the carnivorous beasts, once having experienced the taste of weakened human bodies dying of famine, satisfy their new found taste with much human flesh. I do expect this to occur in the Old World nations prior to Columbus, and while I do believe we are going to suffer food shortages in the United States, I do not believe the one-fourth of the world in Revelation 6:8 applies to what is known historically as the Old World.
Revelation 13:17 – 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.
And these three different things, any one of which would allow a man to buy or sell: are the mark, the name, and the number of the name – Are they three different things, or they all the same thing? More on this will appear in Part 11, Lord willing.
