HOW to AVOID the
666 MARK OF THE BEAST
and Be Set Apart by God Instead

Revelation 13:17 talks about the 'Mark of the Beast'.

This MARK --or SIGN-- identifies those currently under Satan's domination:

Revelation 13:16-18 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;
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.
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.

By contrast, God also gives a sign to identify His own people:

Exodus 31:13 “Speak also to the children of Israel, saying: ‘Surely My Sabbath's you shall keep, for it is a sign between Me and you throughout your generations, that you may know that I am the Lord who sanctifies you.”

Exodus 31:16-17 “Therefore the children of Israel shall keep the Sabbath, to observe the Sabbath throughout their generations as a perpetual covenant. 17 It is a sign between Me and the children of Israel forever; for in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, and on the seventh day He rested and was refreshed.”

Exodus 13:6 Seven days thou shalt eat unleavened bread … (This occurs within the first season of God's annual Holy Days.) Continuing in Ex.13:9 And it shall be for a SIGN unto thee upon thine hand (people work with their hands, so this involves working), and for a memorial between thine eyes (ie. in their forehead, where the mind is, so this also involves thinking).

(BOTH weekly and annual Sabbath's were established to be kept forever, even though we are now under the New Covenant. Although the Old Covenant was abolished and replaced, it was separate to Sabbath keeping, which was sanctified (made holy) forever, beginning in Genesis 2:3, before Abraham or Moses and before the Old Covenant. What the Old Covenant did not introduce, it could not take away when it was abolished. Acts 20:6, 1 Cor. 5:8, and 1 Cor. 16:8 are example verses that show the annual holy days did not cease to exist after the crucifixion either. God will actually enforce these holy days after Christ returns... see Zech. 14:16, and notice it is talking about the Feast of Tabernacles, and then read Zechariah 14:17.)

God's SIGN includes observing certain days that were included under the old covenant, but not done away under the new. Deut. 6:1, and 6:8 show that Israel was to keep the holy days in the land they went in to possess. Even if you argue that we can now possess the promised land spiritually, many verses show we should still be keeping God's laws physically... 1 John 5:3,  Rev. 12:17, 1 John 3:18, 24. You can not say the Sabbath command to rest is now only a "spiritual" requirement which means we keep the Sabbath every day, as some people claim. That reasoning is typical clouds without water thinking ( Jude 12 ), because the command for resting on the seventh day includes a weekly cycle which involves working on the other six days before you rest. It is obvious the Sabbath must be kept literally under the new covenant also.

BOTH THE MARK, AND THE SIGN, IDENTIFY THE WAY PEOPLE BUY AND SELL, AND WORK AND THINK, AND BOTH ARE IN DIRECT CONTRAST TO EACH OTHER.

666 falls short of 777... As does the Mark of the Beast, which FALLS SHORT of God's requirements.

God expects true Christians to uphold the following three seven's, in place of 666.

Here are the THREE SEVEN'S, that are THREE SIGNS of God's chosen people:

The first 7 is keeping the SEVENTH DAY SABBATH. This is the first SIGN which identifies God's people.

The second 7 is found in God's SEVEN ANNUAL HOLY DAYS (Leviticus 23:1-44) which are also commanded to be kept. This is the second sign which identifies God's people.

A third 7 is looking forward to the SEVENTH one thousand year 'day' since Adam was created, when God's kingdom will be established. The PREACHING OF THE TRUE GOSPEL includes this... THE DELIVERY OF THIS MESSAGE ABOUT THE KNIGDOM IS THE SIGN OF CHRIST'S COMING, according to Matthew 24:3 and Matthew 24:14... Jesus will return with the saints, who are God's people. Much of the symbolism and ultimate fulfilment of the Sabbath and Holy Days, will be fulfilled AT THIS TIME in the plan of God, ...those who have THIS SIGN are looking forward to the establishment of God's rule over this earth in the NEAR FUTURE.

Therefore keeping ALL God's correct Holy Days on the correct dates shows the opposite SIGN to the Mark [or SIGN] of the Beast in people's hand and forehead in Revelation 13:16-18.

Anyone who scoffs at these sevens, who is MORE concerned about pleasing MAN, rather than GOD, has already taken on the number of a man. If you observe Christmas, or if you worship God in any other pagan manner (Deut. 12:30, 31, 32), you are taking on the 666 Mark of the Beast by default.
