It is written that all who dwell upon the"ghay"shall worship the beast.They will be given the markof the beast.But what does the "ghay"mean?

While many of you preach and teach that the mark of the beast is worldwide ,it could only be given in a certain area or country.
What if you are misleading everyone by an incorrect assumption that the word "ghay" means the entire world and not simply a kingdom in which the beast rules as in this verse?

What if I just teach people to worship Jesus and be found being faithful when He returns?
Then they can ignore worrying about all the alleged "deep knowledge" like what "ghay" might mean.

The ghe,Greek word for world but can mean land ,earth .
 
The ghe,Greek word for world but can mean land ,earth .
In the modern English translations of the Bible, the word is consistently translated "earth" (as in "We live on a planet we call EARTH.")
Since I don't have a PhD in NT Greek and decades of experience in translation from Koine Greek to Modern English, I'm going to go with what the experts say it means. :shrug
 
Land ,this is my land ... reference to a patriotic song about America.

Yes.
Now,The question is what land.
It could mean a had full of earth.
A fenced in back yard.
A country
A contenant
Or the world.

So many people even on this board teach the beast will rule the world which includes 193 countries,the holy sea,and the" state of Palestine",home of several nations that have recieved no country as yet.

Do you think the beast really cares what some poor old man in Niger is going to buy for supper and do you think it will want him to recieve a mark before he can buy a chicken?

Many say so as it says no man can buy or sell without the mark.if the poor I. Nigeria can violate that then the idea of the mark for the poor and all isn't .the whole world worships the beast.im a preterist but I can't recall ,unless I didn't see it in a commentary where ad 70 fits that .Rome didn't require that

Preterist archive will have something.
 
If there was a country which called itself by the name of a man and it decided to give everyone in that country a mark in thier right hand to be used for purchasing or selling,
How many peopleon this board will realize they were wrong?

You assume in error . A cashless society of which I'm not a fan of despite I seldom use cash is coming .

My reason of not carrying cash Is because of convience.
 
Rev 13:1-10 The beast rises up out of the sea as the sea here is symbolic of people and nations as in a sea of humanity, Daniel Chapter 7:1-8; Revelation 17:15.

Not the same thing.Not even the same word.The word udwr littetally means water and its true the waters where the whore sits are many nations.You can go to that city and hear many different languages on any given day.
But the beast came out of the Red sea or the Meitetanium sea as it is written.
The Hebrew word Qalassa used to pin point where the first beast of rev 13 came from and it is also true.The beast literally came out of the Mediterranean sea this time.

I hope you are capable of receiving correction as i once assumed the the same as you.

.

ghay means land and udwr is also figurative of many people as in nations of people. Qalassa according to the Hebrew I@ means coast, island, shore, region and can be referred to the Red Sea. It all depends on the context it is used in as Rev 13 being the beast that rises up from the sea of humanity in a certain region, but yet not coming out of the region of the Muslims in the end of days.
