Revelation 8: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 07:32, 16 October 2024

The painting shows a Roman slave market with people wearing clay tablets to identify them and the owner of their labor. Identifying slaves or a citizen's eligibility for benefits and even a liability for taxes in Rome was often done with a clay plaque made with a charag to produce a "Charagma". The Greek word Charagma we often translate "mark" in Revelation specifically means a “badge of servitude”. The ““mark” is specifically a “badge of servitude” based upon the Greek word Charagma and its use in scripture is evidence to show membership where you are required to “labor” without compensation which is the definition of “servitude”. The “beasts” in scripture is about the use of force. There is nothing in the text to suggest that the “Mark of the Beast” prophesied will be a chip and certainly it was not a chip under Caligula, Claudius, nor Nero. See the Mark of the Beast.

[1] And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour.

[2] And I saw the seven angels which stood before God; and to them were given seven trumpets.

[3] And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given unto him much incense, that he should offer it with the prayers of all saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne.

[4] And the smoke of the incense, which came with the prayers of the saints, ascended up before God out of the angel's hand.

[5] And the angel took the censer, and filled it with fire of the altar, and cast it into the earth: and there were voices, and thunderings, and lightnings, and an earthquake.

[6] And the seven angels which had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound.

[7] The first angel sounded, and there followed hail and fire mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth: and the third part of trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up.

[8] And the second angel sounded, and as it were a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea: and the third part of the sea became blood;

[9] And the third part of the creatures which were in the sea, and had life, died; and the third part of the ships were destroyed.

[10] And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters^[1] ;

[11] And the name of the star is called Wormwood: and the third part of the waters^[1] became wormwood; and many men died of the waters^[1], because they were made bitter.

[12] And the fourth angel sounded, and the third part of the sun was smitten, and the third part of the moon, and the third part of the stars; so as the third part of them was darkened, and the day shone not for a third part of it, and the night likewise.

[13] And I beheld, and heard an angel flying through the midst of heaven, saying with a loud voice, Woe, woe, woe, to the inhabiters of the earth by reason of the other voices of the trumpet of the three angels, which are yet to sound!
