Mark Of The Beast Is Islam?

Noah was worshipped as Saturn, Oannes and the Philistine god, Dagon -- all Fish-gods.

"...Noah is celebrated...by the name Saturn, 'the hidden one'," --for that name was applied to him...on account of his having been 'hidden' in the ark, in the day of the Lord's fierce anger,'--or 'Oannes,'..." (Hislop, p. 136)

"Out of (the) deluge emerged DAGON, the fish-god, or GOD OF THE SEA… In the secret mysteries… they sought to regain their influence and power by scenic representation… of the flood, in which NOAH was introduced under the name DAGON." (Hislop, p. 243-44)

"...Dagon or Oannes, a half-human, half-fish combination who was known as the 'Lord of the Flood',...was said to rise out of the sea every day to teach his secret knowledge to those who followed him. He is mentioned in Samuel, Chapter 5, when the Philistines capture the Ark of the Covenant and place it in the Temple of Dagon. Two nights later, 'Dagon was fallen upon is face to the ground before the Ark of the Lord; and the head of Dagon and both the palms of his hands were cut off upon the threshold; only the stump of Dagon was left to him.' It is this character upon which Satan or Lucifer is based, but the physical description attributed to him applied to an entire race of 'gods', or as they were described in the Bible, Nephilim, or Fallen Angels, the 'Great Old Ones'..." (Twyman)

1. Dagon, the Fish-god, is associated with the forehead and hands, the location of the mark of the beast.

Note: Dagon's crown is the top of a 6-pointed star.

​

Rev. 13:1 - And I saw the BEAST RISE UP OUT OF THE SEA
​

Rev. 13:16 - …a mark IN THEIR RIGHT HAND, OR IN THEIR FOREHEADS

I Sam. 5:4 - And when they arose early on the morrow morning, behold, Dagon was fallen upon his face to the earth before the ark of the Lord; and the HEAD OF DAGON AND BOTH THE PALMS OF HIS HANDS WERE CUT OFF upon the threshold; only did the stump of Dagon was left to him.

2. In the mystery religions, both the forehead and hands were tattooed during rites of initiation. (Reason Dagon's hands and head were cut off.)

Concerning Mithraism: "INITIATION was performed by two dignitaries, who possessed the title of Father and Herald. After the ceremony (the initiate) would be considered the brother…of the other initiates and the son of the Father… In order to be recognized by the Father, he has to be TATOOED, in other words, BRANDED ON BOTH HANDS… On portraits of emperors, these TATTOO MARKS are clearly visible, but ON THE FOREHEAD, IN PLACE OF THE HANDS." (Vermaseren, p. 131)
​

The tattoo bonds the initiate with the entity symbolized by the tattoo and enables him to communicate with that demonic power.

"In some pictures of a tattooed man we are faced by a permanent prayer to and identification with the heavenly powers, at the same time as a basic means of communication with them. Such is the most generalized meaning of tattooing bestowed in consequence of a rite of initiation which allows this communication to take place. At the same time, this initiation is a rite of admission into a social group and the tattoo is the PERMANENT MARK OF THAT INITIATION, the badge of the tribe.

"All in all, tattooing belongs among symbols of identification and is interfused with all their magic and mystic potency. Identification always carries a double meaning: it tends to invest the individual concerned with the properties and strength of the CREATURE OR THING TO WHICH THAT PERSON IS ASSIMILATED and, at the same time, to immunize the latter against its potential power to cause harm. This is why tattoos depict dangerous creatures such as serpents or scorpions, or animals which are symbols of fertility, such as bulls or of power, such as lions, and so on. Identification also carries a SENSE OF SURRENDER OR EVEN OF CONSECRATION to whatever the tattoo symbolically depicts. It then becomes a BADGE OF FEALTY." - Chevalier's Dictionary of Symbols

3. The six-pointed star was used in mystery religion initiation rites.

"In an ancient book on numbers the INITIATE is defined as 'the one who has experienced and expressed 666 and found it naught; who has dropped the 6 and become the 66, and thus found himself on the Way; later, again, he drops the 6 and becomes the PERFECTED 6-FORM, the instrument and expression of spirit." (Bailey: Rays and Initiations, p. 80) "This is the sign with which the Magus DECORATED HIMSELF when he has reached the HIGHEST DEGREE OF INITIATION" (Christian, p. 110-111)
