The Son of Perdition - Part 4


And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: Rev  13:16 (KJV)

And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.Rev 13:17 (KJV)

"Causeth" is an interesting word, in the Greek:

4160 poieo (poy-eh'-o); apparently a prolonged form of an obsolete primary; to make or do (in a very wide application, more or less direct): 

It is translated in over 30 different ways in over 100 different New Testament verses; including the following ways:

did, make, bring forth, thou doest, doeth ye, ye doeth, bringeth forth, he ordained, and perform, 

as in the following scriptures:

The man departed, and told the Jews that it was Yahuahshua, which had made him whole (caused him to be whole). John 5:15

And a great multitude followed him, because they saw his miracles which he did on them that were diseased. John 6:2 (KJV)

And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men. Matt 4:19 (KJV)

Blessed be Yahuah the Ul of Israel; for he hath visited and redeemed his people, ...Luke 1:68 (KJV)


The unique difference between translating something as "he causeth" instead of "he makes" is that
"causeth" can mean that by the action of a first person, others are also made to do something, voluntarily or involuntarily. It doesn't have to mean "by force." [ Although the NIV translated the word as "he forces."]

In other words, suppose that I voluntarily take the immortal life therapy, which later results in a mark appearing on my body. It could be said that the person who designed and administered the therapy caused me (secondarily) to receive a mark. Just as in a good sense, Yahuahshua had made (causeth) the man to be whole (completely healed).

My suggestion is, suppose the mark appears later, several months later, after the people have taken some sort of injection, inoculation, or gene therapy treatment that alters their DNA genome. The delayed appearance of the mark, would give the anti-Christ time to administer the therapy to the whole world before the mark began to appear, before the suspicions of some of the people were aroused.
Although, even if this were the case, the appearance of the mark only brings to the surface something that existed anyway in the minds of the followers of anti-Christ; that is, they worship him, and the one who gives him power. Once the people have reaped the benefits of anti-Christ's gene therapy, the appearance of the mark will be inconsequential to them,  it may even be cherished.

And I saw something like a sea of glass mingled with fire, and those who have the victory over the beast, over his image and over his mark and over the number of his name, standing on the sea of glass, having harps of God. Rev 15:2 (NKJ)

The scriptures make the point that in order to achieve victory over the beast, the believer must also be victorious over his image, his mark, and the number of his name. Although they are three separate items, they are all related to each other.

The number of his name is the genetic sequence that produces Satan's immortal life. 

[I personally believe the immortal life therapy will be heralded by the Scientific Community, and marketed under the name of  " The Tree of Life."]
By taking his gene therapy your personal genome mutates, and is permanently altered into the image of the beast.   
The genetic sequence causes a visible mark to appear on the skin of the right hand or forehead. This is most likely linked to the method used to apply the therapy.

So, the gene sequence (which is the number of his name) that  produces an illusionary or phantom immortal life "image" is injected into a human body (leaving a mark) and transforms the human host by mutating it's genome into the "phantom" image of the immortal anti-Christ!!


"Taw" is the name of the last (or 22nd) latter of the Hebrew aleph- bayt. And like all letters in the Hebrew aleph-bayt the letter has a name, a word meaning, and a certain numerical value. 

Its word meaning is:

[Gesenius/Strong #8420] tav (tawv); from 8427; a mark; by implication, a signature: 8427 tavah (taw-vaw'); a primitive root; to mark out, i.e. (primitive) scratch or (definite) imprint:  set [a mark].

The written archaic form of the letter is an "x," as shown below:

It appears in the inscription of Siloam (725 B.C.) below:

as shown in this transcribed excerpt of the Siloam inscription:


"Taw" appears in Ezekiel as the mark placed on the forehead of those who belonged to Yahuah:

And Yahuah said unto him, Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark (taw) upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry for all the abominations that be done in the midst thereof. Ezek 9:4 (KJV)

The "taw" or "x" also appeared in an x-ray photo taken by Rosalind Franklin in 1952. Her photo (the first one of its kind) revealed what the DNA molecule actually looked like.

Is this the mark that appears much later, after the wicked worship the Beast by taking his immortal life therapy?


Many times in the scriptures there is a dual nature to prophecy, one part which is usually fulfilled in the prophets lifetime, and another part which will be fulfilled later, especially in the last days or "The Day of Yahuah."
So it is with Isaiah's prophecy recorded in chapter 13, where he foretells of the conquest of Babylon by the Medes, and Yahuah's conquest of the earth in the last days.

Behold, the day of Yahuah comes, cruel, with both wrath and fierce anger, to lay the land desolate; and He will destroy its sinners from it.
For the stars of heaven and their constellations will not give their light; the sun will be darkened in its going forth, and the moon will not cause its light to shine (Mathew 24:9).
"I will punish the world for its evil, and the wicked for their iniquity; I will halt the arrogance of the proud, and will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible.

I will make a mortal more rare than fine gold, a man more (rarer) than the golden wedge of Ophir.

Therefore I will shake the heavens, and the earth will move out of her place, in the wrath of Yahuah Ul of hosts and in the day of His fierce anger. Isa 13:9-13 (NKJ)

Why will a mortal man be rare? Because all of those whose names are not written in the Book of Life have taken the anti-Christ's offer and ate from HIS "tree of life," his DNA, the false immortal life that bears no permanent fruit.

Just like the dual nature of Isaiah's prophecy, DaniUl's prophecy relates to the last days, and gives us an important clue into the nature of the "powerful delusion" that will com upon those who worship the dragon and the beast.
The first part is written about the Greeks who would conquer the land once occupied by the ram;

And out of one of them came forth a little horn, which waxed exceeding great, toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the pleasant land.
And it waxed great, even to the host of heaven; and it cast down some of the host and of the stars to the ground, and stamped upon them. Dan 8:9-10 (KJV)


Now verse 11;

He even exalted himself as high as the Prince of the host; and by him the daily sacrifices were taken away, and the place of His sanctuary was cast down. Dan 8:11 (NKJ)

Read this in the Hebrew, word for word, for what it literally says, for it is a witness to many of the other things mentioned in this and the other three parts of this study regarding the end times delusion:

[Written in a vertical format, with the corresponding Gesenius/Strong reference numbers. The number "9999" means that word is an inserted word, placed there by the translators to add meaning.]

9999  Yea (inserted word)

1431  he magnified - gadal (gaw-dal'); a primitive root; properly, to twist [compare 1434], i.e. to be (causatively make) large (in various senses, as in body, mind, estate or honor, also in pride).

9999  himself (inserted word)

5704  even to -  `ad (ad); properly, the same as 5703 (used as a preposition, adverb or conjunction; especially with a preposition); as far (or long, or much) as, whether of space (even unto) or time (during, while, until) or degree (equally with).

8269  the prince of - sar (sar); from 8323; a head person (of any rank or class): 

6635  the host - tsaba' (tsaw-baw'); or (feminine) tseba'ah (tseb-aw-aw'); from 6633; a mass of persons (or figuratively, things), especially reg. organized for war (an army); by implication, a campaign, literally or figuratively (specifically, hardship, worship): 

4480  and by him - min (min); or minniy (min-nee'); or minney (constructive plural) (min-nay'); (Isaiah 30:11); for 4482; properly, a part of; hence (prepositionally), from or out of in many senses (as follows).

8548  the daily - tamiyd (taw-meed'); from an unused root meaning to stretch; properly, continuance (as indefinite extension); but used only (attributively as adjective) constant (or adverbially, constantly); ellipt. the regular (daily) sacrifice: 

9999  sacrifice (inserted word)

7311  was taken away - ruwm (room); a primitive root; to be high actively, to rise or raise (in various applications, literally or figuratively):  bring up, exalt (self), extol, give, go up, haughty, heave (up), (be, lift up on, make on, set up on, too) high (-er, one), hold up, levy, lift (-er) up, (be) lofty, (X a-) loud, mount up, offer (up), + presumptuously, (be) promote (-ion), proud, set up, tall (-er), take (away, off, up), breed worms.

7993  and (same as below)

4349  the place of - makown (maw-kone'); from 3559; properly, a fixture, i.e. a basis; generally a place, especially as an abode: foundation, habitation, (dwelling-, settled) place.

4720  his sanctuary - miqdash (mik-dawsh'); or miqqedash (Exod. 15:17) (mik-ked-awsh'); from 6942; a consecrated thing or place, especially, a palace, sanctuary (whether of Jehovah or of idols) or asylum: 

7993  was cast down.- shalak (shaw-lak); a primitive root; to throw out, down or away (literally or figuratively): adventure, cast (away, down, forth, off, out), hurl, pluck, throw.

Notice above that when the King James translators got to the word "tamiyd" (#8548) which means "continual," they translated it as "daily," and then inserted the word "sacrifice" (which is not in the original manuscript) because when faced with the word, the only thing that came to their mind, that was continual in nature,  was the daily sacrifices performed in Solomon's temple. Even though the word "sacrifice" does not appear in the manuscript.

Now look at the translation of DaniUl chapter 8 verses 9, 10, & 11, as it appears in the "The Scriptures" translated from the original Hebrew by "The Institute For Scripture Research." 

verse 9 - And from one of them came a little horn which became exceedingly great toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the Splendid Land.

[This little horn is historically accepted to be the Greek General Antiochus Epiphanies who conquered Judea. I believe the next verse, because of its context, is where the historical reference become a future prophecy. And the reference to Antiochus Epiphanies, who defiled the Holy of Holies in Solomon's temple, becomes a allegory for Satan (the anti-Christ) and the desecration of the temple he will accomplish, which is to distort and defile the body made in the image of Yahuah.]

verse 10 - And it became great, up to the host of the heavens. And it caused some of the host and some of the stars to fall to the earth and trampled them down.

verse 11 - It even exulted itself as high as the prince of the host, and it took that which is continual away from him, and threw down the foundation of his set apart place.

Who is the the "Prince of the Host." The scriptures themselves answer this question, it is Yahuahshua the Messiah;

And it came to pass, when Joshua was by Jericho, that he lifted up his eyes and looked, and, behold, there stood a man over against him with his sword drawn in his hand: and Joshua went unto him, and said unto him, Art thou for us, or for our adversaries?
And he said, Nay; but as captain of the host of YAHUAH am I now come. And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and did worship, and said unto him, What saith my Adone unto his servant?
And the captain of YAHUAH'S host said unto Joshua, Loose thy shoe from off thy foot; for the place whereon thou standest is holy. And Joshua did so. Josh 5:13-15 (KJV)


The first thing to notice is the Hebrew word for "Captain" #8269 is "sar." It is the exact same word translated above as "Prince." The prince of the host in DaniUl's vision is the Captain of the host of YAHUAH that appeared to Joshua. How can we know for sure. Joshua fell to the ground and worshipped him. The Captain of the host of Yahuah accepted his worship and had Joshua remove his shoes for he stood on holy ground. That person was Yahuahshua Ha Mashiyach (our Messiah).

In light of this revelation, who is it, in DaniUl 8:11 that exults himself as high as Christ (the Captain of the Hosts of Yahuah)? It is none other than the anti-Christ. And what is that the anti-Christ takes away from the true Christ that is "continual?" It is immortality! It is going to be granted by Yahuah, for the purpose of this delusion, that anti-Christ should "take away" that which by right belongs only to Christ. He will use that which belongs to Christ, to enable humself and others to live in a sinful mortal body of flesh - in an immortal state!This is the exact thing that Yahuah ULheem condemned in the Garden of Eden but not allowing Adam to reach out and eat also from the Tree of Life to live forever - while in a sinful state!
How does the anti-Christ throw down the foundation of Yahuah's temple? He replaces the spirit given to each man by Yahuah, with Satan's spirit, which will possess a soulless individual (or clone) that has been biologically engineered.
