Who worships the beast?

Sinthesis said:
I've heard all the symbolic interpretations before, and that is not what I'm asking about.

What are the characteristics that separate any "beast" from your run of the mill dominions/countries/empires etc.?
What is it that all the "beasts" have that differentiates them from the rest of the world?
Why is the word "beast" used regarding these particular entities which share these particular qualities?:chin

I believe they are empires that have direct effect upon the people of God.

Your using scriptural terms again. I asked for modern English. Up to date geographical locations and terms please. Don't talk about Babylon tell me in our modern world exactly where you think it is. I want exact boundaries.

Ive been telling you all along.
The wrath of God shall be upon those people.Do you not know who Jesus is speaking of here?

Luke 21;21-23
The let them which are in judea flee to the mountains;and let them which are in the midst of it depart out;and let not them that are in the countries enter thereinto.
For these be the days of vengeance,that all things which are written may be forfilled.
But woe unto them that are with child,and them that give suck,in those days! for there shall be great distress in the land,and wrath upon this people.

Mathew 11;21-22
Woe unto thee,Chorazin!woe unto thee Bethsaida!for if the mighty works which were done in you, had been done in Tyre and Sidon,they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.
But I say unto you,It shall be more tolorable for Tyre and Sidon at the day of judgement,than for you.

The mark of the beast shall be given to those inside the borders of the country known as Israel.
The people of Tyre and Sidon will not be given the mark even though they are so close.
It is the little kingdom that belongs to the little horn.The pleasant land.


Rev 16;10
And the fifth angel poured out his vial upon the seat of the beast;and his kingdom was full of darkness;and they gnawed thier tongues for pain.

I accept that there will be a focus on Jerusalem. We're told to watch that particular city. But everything that talks about the mark of the beast and the wrath of God describes it happening to the whole Earth and all nations. All men.

Who will rule this Kingdom at the time that you are talking of?

The Israeli goverment still rules it.But an international army sent by the United states shall be there.-See daniel 11;31
The United states embassy shall be moved to Jerusalem as well during this time frame.-See Daniel 11;45

Its rather like the Roman army in Judea 2000 years ago.The Knesset will be making the laws but the army sent by the king of the north shall inforce those laws.Even if those laws are antichristian laws.
The king of the north will attempt to deliver the people of Israel and will give to the Israeli goverment objects for the national security of Israel.=The mark of the beast=the abomination of desolation.

If Im right.The next president will do that.But First Obama would have to die after the taxes are raised next year.


You read one book and try to understand the time of the end but Im using more than one.

The United States doesnt send international armies. The U.N. does though. And thats headquartered in New York. Wouldn't that make more sense in your view of the endtimes?

The United states does pretty much what it wants doesnt it?
Before the first Iraq war(Daniel 11;11)The United states said we should go to war with Iraq and the UN said ok.
Before the second Iraq war(Daniel 11;13)The UN said no to going to war with Iraq so the US went with England.
Daniel 11;29 says when he returns that time it will not be as the former or the later so I dont know who it will be as .I recon we just have to wait and see.

Jerusalem is definately NOT Babylon!!! Rev 11:8 says Jerusalem, "spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt."
In Rev. 17 the angel describes ROME as Babylon!

Hi, Most seem to miss the boat here. Luke 12:47-48 tells us who will be held most accountable in judgement. (and that is not the blind abominational 'house of Israel all by theirself'! of Matt. 23:38)

The 666 & WORSHIP are surely a Majority Collective bunch! Matt. 7 & Rev. 17:1-5 tell's who are prophesied as already a done deal.. by Inspiration. These ones are already united! They are Documented as such. What one claims makes NO Difference as to who they 'serve!'

Christ tell's of just [TWO] UNITED Groups! Matt. 6

[24] No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.

So if one believes Inspiration + the Wiords of Christ, the only thing needed is to find what these ones mostly all hold in common with satans worshiping! Daniel 7:25

--Elijah
