i was looking at this term, "mark of the devil", and how it is used in present times to represent someone who is of the devil, or the antichrist. something about this term just doesn't seem right.

think about the times we live in when countries prop up their currencies with oil, killing millions in the process making of them blood money ($£EURO). think about life as we live it today: is this heaven or is this hell.

i do not care how well you have it at the moment, the degree to which you enjoy simply blinds you to what is really going on, innocent people are going through hell, living poor lives, being killed, deliberate infection with dangerous disease, living with armed troops that shoot children, women, prisoners in their own houses. there is no doubt about it these are the times of the devil, so how come this prophecy about the coming of the antichrist, the one with the mark of the devil.

rather than express my ignorance here, let me state from the get go I have not done much research where this term is concerned, its religious significance, its origins, etc. one thing I know for sure is the devil is masquerading as the christ right now as we speak, so thjere is not going to be an antichrist because he is already here.

to me, this term is just another play on reality meant at decieving. it is a reversal of the original statement so things do not get clear to the minds of people too quick. I believe the statement in its original form read "The One Marked By The Devil", implying an individual the devil marks because it is afraid of them.

used as it is now, the term makes of good people devils, and the devil becomes the good, intelligent, oopen minded person.

@MODS: how do I correct the wrong spelling in the title? can you do it for me? could have deleted the post then reposted, but then there is no delete button...

anyway, just to add...

I know of a man who is currently sleeping in a lead box in order to find some release from the electronic attacks being launched against him 24/7. There are people living in houses covered wall to wall in sheet metal, and still others experiencing torture so intense history's mass murderers would be in awe if they were to witness it.

We are talking thousands of people who are imprisoned in their own homes, right here in the west that boasts more freedoms than any other culture, in cities where energy weapons have been distributed evenly among civilians, along households on every street. Other zombies armed with chemical and biological agents patrol these same streets, ready to surreptitiously smear or spray them at whoever has been marked for such targeting. Neighbourhoods where high priority targets live are turned overnight into high traffic zones, with the accompanying increase in crime rates and change in population demographics, both on the streets and businesses around where employees come and go. This means victims are being attacked wherever they are; in their homes, out strolling through the streets, in especially government buildings such as libraries, benefit houses, police stations, etc.

Next time you are sitting in a library and you suddenly sense your body is heating up as though you were sitting next to a heater, you suddenly feel fatigue in your limbs, dull pains on the inside of your body, especially the major organs; you suddenly feel as sleepy as when you are short on it, and even find yourself actually falling asleep, there is a big chance someone within the very building or adjoining has trained an energy weapon on your person. Word of advise: avoid such locations if you can. if you have to be there, then restrict the amount of time you spend. This limits the harm that can be done to your system.

Use a bike, or better yet, get a car or hop onto public transportation to get around, rather than walk through narrow streets with houses on either side, as this shortens the time you are exposed to individual weapons along the way, and if you have to jog, then buy yourself RF and ELF detectors so that you can map out your jogging route, otherwise restrict your jogging to industrial areas, sparsely populated neighbourhoods and parks.

There are people living in tunnels, under bridges, in parks, who are afraid to live in houses, choosing to sleep rough where at least they cannot be assailed by invisible bullets. It is obvious that quite a number of people must be dying each year from these attacks, among them both those who are victims of experimentation, and others who live in close proximity to the targets, including their children. We are witnessing more and more cases of infants succumbing to conditions uncommon at such tender ages, such as heart attacks, this itself a strong indication of exposure to untold attacks.

The living targets, and the thousands more being added to their ranks, exist like refugees in their own countries, outlaws on the run from the law/executioner, death row inmates waiting for the final hour.

These here are life circumstances in our times comparable to those of Jews who escaped transportation to the gas chambers, only to spend prolonged periods hiding out in all manner of constrained spaces, holes dug in the earth, cupboards and basements, not knowing when they will breathe the free air, happening right here in countries that proudly display the civilized banner.

It is easy to see the devil is in control already, and has been for the longest of times, putting on a very convincing masquerade as God, holy spirit and Christ, the very definition of the antichrist. In control of the means by which information is disseminated, he has turned reality upside down, controlling how people perceive him, and those he is afraid of, those he has marked for elimination. He presents himself as the intelligent and open minded one, the magnanimous, the angel; reaching out with a helping hand, looking out for and preventing the rise of the antichrist: the evil one out to kill everyone, the foaming at the mouth terrorist who unleashes terror for the sake of it.

Lucifer has appeal. He is even a role model for many around the globe. He has power with worldwide reach that he is expanding as we speak. He is already in control of a lot of those territories around the globe from whence much of his resources are derived, and still others he has bought, run by his puppets. He is at the centre of the reality the times we live in are characterized by oppression and repression unmatched before in recorded history, not so much in degree, but scale. Worldwide, the devil has more people cornered and being done away with than the Wehrmacht had at the height of their reign. Unlike them, his methods are not overt. He is using advanced, often classified technology and his grip on the media to conceal his abuses and his connection to them.

Unknown to many, his concentration camps are right there in the cities and towns around the world, in the neighbourhoods, on the streets; reserving prison, scenarios such as outright murder disguised as accidental death, getting the terrorist label and kidnapping, for cases impossible to eliminate in the normal manner, because either too many people are watching or on the potential victim's side, or their neighbourhoods have not been infiltrated enough for complete surrounding and effective incapacitation/elimination.

He is pushing for longer detention periods for suspects of terrorism not because he needs some kind of prolonged face off with these characters behind closed doors that should serve to deter determined, hate filled terrorists, or that he lacks the methods to establish what should already have been the grounds for detention in the first place, but because of the time required to be sure the destruction of the selected individuals' personalities is permanent.

Lucifer's bane is materialism. He is more of the flesh than the spirit, and you will usually find him boasting his exploits in this area, expressing his conquests, or concealing his inadequacies. Control of the bulk of world natural and human resources is what affords him a lavish life, which is what his war is about; a war he calls all manner of convenient terms: the war on terrorism being the current fad, a war whose enemy is in reality the poor, the repressed or oppressed and dispossessed.

Is it any surprise how quickly especially the blatant, obtuse; the most obnoxious dictators around the globe have taken to the use of this ruse?

(continued)

Historians will remember the western cultural, economic and political empire as one built upon and marked by a savage and sustained war against the weak and defenceless, the dispossessed and poor it created, a war that intensified whenever the poor stirred, in a bid to keep a lid on their attempts to escape the pot of decrepitude into which they were forced to exist; to make something better of their wretched lives.

The human and natural resources the devil enjoys must be sweet indeed, and they are definitely as addictive as cocaine. Letting go of the addiction is letting go of a lifestyle or perceived advantages. This is the last thing the devil will do, and so for as long as he reigns, the misery of others is his joy, their sweat and tears his wealth. He will do anything to maintain things as they are, will kill more or all children, women, the old and infirm, if this will bring him his tasty cocoa and greasy oil to burn in his outmoded machines. He will intern people abroad, if only to spare the land in which he reigns supreme, his bastion, the image of a place where concentration camps abound. The last thing he wants is to make his masquerade obvious, which will give truth to those who have been warning others about what he really is all along, and put a lot more people off associating, visiting or wanting to live with him. He needs all those blinded types who have an impression of who he is based on his works, one of which could be his land of gold and honey, the land of freedom and opportunity. This happens to be where the devil has the material he needs to put anyone out there to very good use for his cause, or mark them for elimination

This evil, oppressive house he has perfected over the years has of late been coming loose at the seams as more and more nations escape the clutches of poverty and become more prosperous, as more and more of his puppet leaders become revealed for what they are and their support base erodes, thanks in large part to positive changes in the state of those they keep in their evil clutches. What we are witnessing now is testimony the foundation of this house is other people's misery, revealed in the fact he gets problems as soon as those meant to be poor begin to get some wealth.

He is in trouble right now as China, India, and many more countries around the planet begin to flex some economic muscle, as they get wealthier and wealthier, as more and more countries opt to speak his language and take the bigger stick approach to matters, and it is imperative that he act because soon it will be too late.

He is eagerly recruiting the warriors who will wage his wars right now.

Considering the odds that have suddenly piled up against him, this time, it will not be possible for him to win outright. He has no other option than to launch strategic attacks aimed at causing as much destruction and chaos as will affect everyone, even the side he completely controls, to sink this planet into yet another dark age where wars that know no victor, loser or end will become the norm. Like wars being fought at the moment, these wars will also have convenient foes and aims, fabricated to conceal the real enemy or objective. As wars not meant to be won, their sole purpose will be destruction of whatever it is the poor have gained that is empowering them. The duration of these wars will be controlled by this factor, lasting as long as it takes to force a people into the past, at the end of which the strangle hold on resources should have been restored to the devil, or at least he hopes.

The devil realizes that this is a war that can go either way, that this is one that can see his final demise. He knows that he will eventually have to relinquish power, that he will ultimately unceremoniously be removed from the scene. He understands evil is ultimately dependent on good for its existence, while good can exist and do very well without evil, thank you. Evil alone soon consumes itself, while existence alongside good gives it the cover it needs to flourish. There are no two ways about this.

But then the devil is a proverbial scorpion. He stings on instinct, and he will get into the melee whatever is already known, said and done. On a more basic level, his instinctive stinging is an adaptation, a warped survival instinct that is more a play on time than an actual self preserving strategy. The Armageddon has him marked as the loser, a very logical outcome that even he can see, but then between now and the unknown final point of his reign he could yet win a thousand wars. His rampage is fostered by memory of wars he won, those moments of glory, and knowledge he is in large part winning the one he is waging right now, this fact writ large on his fat posterior.

He is detestable, it is true, but any other way of being is simply not his nature, so brace yourselves people. This ... is going to be one "hell" of a ride for humankind.

The world - ["Tree"] of harm and transgression: My experiences.

Bismillaah ir Rahmaan ir Rahiim. As salaamu 'alaikum. 7:19. "O Adam! dwell thou and thy wife in the Garden, and enjoy (its good things) as ye wish: but approach not this tree, or ye run into harm and transgression." Yusuf Ali's Quran Translation

My understanding of the purpose of life, is that we are here to search for The One GOD; and that has always been my goal, even though there is so much worldly distraction. The One GOD, can readily be found within, even while being externally present everywhere at once. But, being everywhere at once, also includes being within us and us, within The One GOD. The One GOD created us Good, as HE, Loves Good abundantly. The problem people have with being within The One GOD, is that people want to keep to the way of the world, while living within The One GOD; which is offensive to The One GOD. Simply put, people err in seeking The One GOD. Harm and transgression, have become an acceptable way of life -- "a law" -- onto them. They have taken the broad winding road, as opposed to the straight and narrow, uphill Path. [re: "the easy way out!"]




Excerpted in part, from a review/critique of, The Gospel of Barnabas Chapter 158.

The disciples accordingly asked him, saying: 'Lord, great are your words; tell us, therefore, the meaning, for as yet we understand not." Jesus answered: "When you shall know the world, you shall see that I have spoken the truth, and so shall you know the truth in every prophet. Know you, then, that there be three kinds of worlds comprehended in a single name;: the one stands for the heavens and the earth, with water, air and fire, and all the things that are inferior to man. Now this world in all things follows the will of God, for, as says David;, prophet of God: "God has given them a precept which they transgress not."

"For earth is not so contrary to air, water to fire, light to darkness, cold to heat, or love to hate, as is the will that God has contrary to the will of the world."

To remain unattached, to the world is to experience the proper nurturing for the soul; this would be considered following the good pleasure of THE ONE GOD.


Man, is Soulfully / and Spiritually created, above other creatures; -- (and note well, Qur'an 17:61, that Lucifer / Iblis refused to prostrate to him) -- to worship THE ONE TRUE GOD; LORD of all the Worlds. He, is of the family of the heavenly immortal Man; seeking THE ONE AND ONLY GOD, even though man err's in seeking HIM; All Glory, Praise and Honor, Be To THE ONE GOD, ALONE. The Prophets [PBUT] of THE ONE GOD, The Most Merciful, The Subtle, are sent into the world with true guidance for the salvation of man.

"The second stands for all men, even as the "house of such an one" stands not for the walls, but for the family. Now this world, again, loves God; because by nature they long after God, forasmuch as according to nature every one longs after God, even though they err in seeking God. And know you wherefore all long after God? Because they long every one after an infinite good without any evil, and this is God alone. Therefore the merciful God has sent his prophets to this world for its salvation."

"The third world is men's fallen condition of sinning, which has transformed itself into a law contrary to God, the creator of the world. This makes man become like to the demons, God's enemies. And this world our God hates so sore that if the prophets had loved this world what think you? - assuredly God would have taken from them their prophecy. And what shall I say As God lives, in whose presence my soul stands, when the Messenger of God shall come to the world, if he should conceive love towards this evil world, assuredly God would take away from him all that he gave him when he created him, and would make him reprobate: so greatly is God contrary to this world."

The fallen, Spiritually unregenerate condition of man whereby he does mostly evil continually, is being referred to, and is contrary to the righteous laws of Allah; [al-Baasit] The Enlarger, [al-Khaafid] The Abaser [Decreaser]. Planet earths greedy, selfish inhabitants making use of their rascality, have managed to create for themselves and everyone else, a bulk sized example of hell, in this worlds life. A conspicuous and arrogant show of independence and self guidance / self-reliance, that is fundamentally, and inherently, worthless; inept, deserving to be looked upon with disdain.

The present world was not expected to be a 'heaven on earth.' It is a place that the Satan with his tribe, are allowed to inhabit and lead many astray, for a time; Revelation 12:9; Job 2:1-2. Qur'an; 4:119. The lovers of the Satan, want to see him as lord of all; they believe that he, -- a jinn, created to worship Allah, The One GOD -- is a god. I seek the protecton of Allah; The Almighty, The Sovereign, from the rejected, accursed Satan. [Qur'an; 34:41; 37:158; 72:6 (51:56; 55:15, 31) re: jinn]. Remember, that the Satan and his devils can watch you without your seeing them. AL-Qur'an; 7:27. [see also 14:22; 15:39-40; 17:61 re: Iblis]



I can tell you a little about the harn and transgression, part of the life of this world. It has become a daily occurrence for me. I would get the impression, that I should apologize for living.

Other than that, I've experienced the 'energy weapon' phenomenon while walking along a city block some years ago; I was suddenly struck with excruciating pains throughout my body. At that moment I was passing a liquor bar, directly across the street. As I [with quite some effort] passed out of range of the debilitating 'energy weapon,' the force began to disipate, until I was free of its pains.

These, are some of the toxic fumes and gasses being perpetrated against the devotees of The One And Only GOD, in their residence: Carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, methane, ether, arsenic, strychnine, phosphorous, potassium [in nearly all of its varieties], oxygen gas, hydrogen gas, sulfur, butane, propane, naphtha - (causes "fits"); some of these gasses can become trapped in the walls, and will cause a rumbling as they implode (explode?), jarring the residence. Smoke - in - a bottle, etc.. For stink, disturbing ordors; sewer gas, smoke of - burnt pasta, rice, cornflakes, etc.. There's a lot more stuff that will swell this list into several pages, but maybe some other time. Walking along the sidewalk can be disturbing; even the parked automobiles are sometime rigged with disorienting fumes and gasses.

Psychicism, plays out big time in today's control of the populace; no electronics required. It can also be used to overheat the body of a victim, with drenching/soaking, perspiration resulting for seemingly no discernable reason; this can be frightening to the victim, who may see it as an illness. But, electronics of some sort is used to send "attachments" to a victim. These long beam "needles," are plied to almost every area of the body, most notably the genitalia, causing pain and severe itching. I assume that much financial capital is being 'raked' in using this method. And the crazies, can even bring on a sudden toilet emergency, using psychicism. They are really mean, folk!

In the winter, a residence is "refrigerated," with the aid of 'Freon' or some other refrigerant. In the summer steam from boiling water is piped into a specified area of the dwelling. This will allow an air conditioning system to run on without shutting off, causing the residence to become too cold, unless the setting is adjusted. In some cities, barbecue pits, made from 'oil drums;' fired with charcoals, etc., are used to cause extraordinary overheating of a residence. This can displace all of the oxygen in the dwelling causing near suffocation, to the inhabitants.

There is also much noise to be found in some residences. Loud droning machines, that continue throughout the day and night into the early morning hours. Madman/madwoman, hammering nails into a block of wood, or imposing pretentious hammering on the floor and walls.

There are also ghosts, (not to be feared) just to warn you. These sickies, love to hang around your home. They are projected spirits of some live 'acquaintances,' or, 'neighbors,' even 'friends,' or, you might not know them at all. If things suddenly become lost or perhaps appear to have been disturbed, you can suspect these usless, worthless, mindless ones. A few identity documents, - in my previous name - have disappeared. A recent search, on the internet for my previous name, turned up one million three hundred ninety thousand entries for that name; hummm, interesting, to say the least.

The automobile, for an other instance, having become an extention of the human race, speeds up and down nearby streets as if on a race track; I worry that I might purchase one of those burned-out wrecks -- not to leave out loud trucks and motorcycles, and screeeeching tires too.
'Tires,' for instance can also be 'fixed' to burst or even fall apart, as I can testify to this happening.
My auto is rigged with a GPS, which I'd discovered not long ago, after a ignition coil failed. And your brakes can be 'digitally locked,' while you're driving. What fun! There is much, much, more to this. Has anyone else suffered similar madness? Mad America!


Wassalaam. OriginalBM

OBM:

I have to wonder at the phrase "finding God". Is he lost? I think that I know what you mean.

God has not moved away from man where he can not be found. If God were a threat to us I don't think that we would be here now.

Here is what I think the purpose of life has evolved to...not a search for God, but rather becoming rational enough to recognize that there in fact is a God. And then to realize that if he chose to he could anhilate us in the next nano second. But for some reason he is allowing us to trod on in this existance that "we" (the vocal populace) want to believe that we control but we actually don't.

It probably would do us good to try and find out why we have not been allowed either to destroy ourselves or He hasn't? Any sane man who will take an honest walk back through history and can conclude that there has not been divine intervention from the beginning of tyme needs to be hospitalized.

Our quest is really to figure our what lies we have inherited, been taught, had forced upon us through fear or accepted through intellectual laziness about existance. Men should know and not rely upon anyone else to give him reason for existance.

I will add that the world as you described (earth, water, O2 etc..) could exist withour man but not the other way around. I find a bitter irony in the vocal population's fantasy of space colonazation. So much tyme and money put into a wasted effort.

I am not going to deliver a long, convoluted discourse. I just wan to say a few things as an answer to your very legitimate question.

When the Prophet Jesus (Peace and Blessings be upon him) came to us, he preached a very good and legtimate doctrine of lovig one's brother as much as one loves oneself. This is anti-explotation, anti-oppression ant-slavery, anti-capilatist, anti-imperialist, anti-zionist messege. So, the powers taht be at the time, namely the Romans and the pre-zionists, killed him. A hter he was dead, they spent afew hundred years persecuting the early Christians, Then a very interesting thing happened, the very same people who were killing Christins became "Christians" and the persecution ceased./

When you study the Bible, you will nitice that certain parts of it are the Greek language, or translated from the Greek language. This part is written exactly by one of the chief persecutors of Christians, namely the Apostle Paul, the first head of the Catholic Church. One day, he had a "revelation". Since then, various heads of the Church, have been preching a doctrine very much unlike what Jesus (Peace and Blessins be upon him) preached. Thus, Christianity becames a state sponsored religion. The Holy Roman Empire is born. This was the first Christian cult. Thge name itself is a contradiction of terms. One cannot be Holy by Jesus's (Peace and Blessins be upon him)standards and and empire that makes unjust war against others to dominate them and exploit their resources. So, the Holy Roman Empire is nothing but a play on words. Much about it was evil. It took the Europerasns back into the Dark Ages from which they came.

Go figure.

Is there anything that the white man did right?

Did we (blacks, africans, etc...) do anything wrong?

at some point we have to begin to take responsibility.

this is exactly the jail house mentality that black american criminals come out of extended prison stays with.

yes slavery was a tough, unfair, illegal, miserable thing that arabs and whites along with those African's who also participated in it for the dough.

but the "reality" of 2007/11/30 is that we are the cause of a lot of our misery right now.

rather than a race war against whites. a bloody over throw of the powers that be. we Americans need to save this generation that is school age. save them by teaching them what whites have taught their kids for years about education and its advantage, thriftiness, credit, etc. this is how we over throw the powers that be...economically!!!

they could care less about the teaching of loving your neighbor as your self. as long as you get a job and pay taxes. handling your money right is what will deal with the powers that be.

is on the tail-end of the New World Order. Prophecy is what it is not, pre-planning is what it is...!

speaking of prophesy there is very little that has not been fullfilled in the bible. in fact if one does then the bible is a liar because God would have not kept a promise.
