What Is the Mark of the Beast?

What does the Bible say about the Mark of the Beast? How is it possible to force the whole world to take the Mark? Is technology addictive? Rabbi Schneider, of Discovering the Jewish Jesus, shares what the Mark of the Beast and the number 666 means to us today. God's mark will be on His people. Satan wants to replace God's authentic, will, and word in our lives. What we're seeing in our culture today is a phenomenon where people are no longer in tune with God, other people, and nature. People are more in tune with their technology, being drawn into an addictive pseudo-reality. Mankind is losing touch with what is authentic and being drawn into darkness. Learn how to protect your mind, avoid being drawn into Satan's counterfeit plan. Be the master over your smartphone and technology rather than letting it master you.

Very true Rabbi Schneider. My late brother's last post on his phone before he died from suicide was "do more of the things that make you forget about your phone". He was depressed after having lost his investment banking job through retrenchment. He had accepted Christ but the pressures of this world and social media got to his mind.

Rabbi I found you a few weeks ago and I have learned more in these 3 weeks than I have in the past 20 years with my pastor. He doesn’t talk about any of these things. Thank you so much! I believe I was directed here. I’m so grateful. I feel like your messages are just what I’ve needed to hear. ❤️

I took the ipads from my 2 daughters 6 months ago it was the best decision ever, the holy spirit was telling me to do it I found my 10 year old daughter watching innapropiate videos, God showed me in a dream what my daughter was watching, I could not believed it, but it turned out to be true🙏Thank you Lord for watching over my family

Behind the anonymous keyboard and screen a whole lot of ppl are comfortable saying horrible and hateful things they wouldn't be bold enough to say in REAL TIME. Others go online and purposefully hijack another's identity and completely wreck their lives. This happened to me. Yet, even though the harrassment and threats of violence felt very scary and real, not one single person has confronted me in REAL TIME. It's almost like it's a funny game of let's attack you then pretend we didn't and if you call us out we'll deny it and make you out to be nutts. Ephesians 6:10- 18 is pure gold. I sometimes wonder if these people online say to themselves "Who will see us- Who will know?" The Almighty, THAT'S WHO!

[awfelia]

I feel ill when I think of the filth that is being presented to innocent minds! We need to be praying for God's protection 24/7 in this perverted age! Bo Yeshua! ♡

[tigressfortruth]

Don't forget it is called the "world wide WEB" and the "interNET", two things that are used to capture something.

[thinkforyourselfjohn]

God Bless you. Shalom. Technology is part of the beast system I believe. They can track, hear and listen to us. Toss in facial recognition and algorithms they know our every step. satan always wanted to be like God technology may come in handy for him to impersonate God and track down the believers. Praying for all of us I agree with you. Great teaching and insight👍. The world is unraveling and quickly we are the last generation. Stay strong.

[hillarynenye]

Only a spiritual mind will understand you well, God bless you

[jayharris]

This man of God teaches a lot of very important information. God bless him, his family and his ministry.

Very thought provoking word Rabbi You bringing that connection out of the "mark of the beast" and the command of God for the Jews to bind the word onto their foreheads and right hand is something I have never heard before The counterfit version of Gods command Very intriguing That our personal computers (and smart phones) are sneaking in to take our focus away from the things of God I myself have already realized I was blessed by God to have had one rapture dream ( in Oct 2016) and in that dream there were several scenes that I have spent time praying about as to the interpretation The short version: I hear a very loud shout saying "Behold the bridegroom cometh!" And I look and off in the distance I see dirty looking white clouds in the sky with brown spots on them and people running away from them in terror while at the same time in the far background a column of brides in bridal gowns stacked on top of each other is rising up from the ground and ascending into the sky (As in totem pole fashion) As the people are running away from the clouds in terror I find myself running with the crowd and my thoughts were that I was running to warn my loved ones of whats happening but as I am running I pass a resturaunt sign board on the sidewalk and stop running and put my hand upon the sign and begin swiping my hand across it from right to left repeatedly Then I awoke suddenly with a distinct feeling that God was trying to show me something in that dream I was sure about the meaning of the part of the brides and hearing shouted out that verse from Jesus story of the 10 virgins in Matthew 25:6 as pertaining to the rapture but it took me a little while before I had further revelation on the scene where I was swiping my hand over the menu sign but eventually after praying it did come to me and I realized it represented the swiping of the screen on my smartphone (the menu choices) and it represented a warning to not be distracted by spending my time glued onto that screen when I needed to be getting the warning out that Jesus is coming soon At that time I was fairly new to the smartphone (computer in hand) phenomenon but I have seen how many people are completely distracted by them and I am always trying to keep the delicate balance of being on here to do good things such as sharing the gospel with people Studying with my online bibles Taking part in an online church group Watching and sharing programs I feel help bring people to the truth of the gospel (Such as your program) And of course keeping in touch with my loved ones (which often is sharing my prayers for them) However its an ongoing struggle to maintain that right balance as so many things of interest are going on in the world and there is a very apparent bias in our mainstream media that is trying to keep the masses programmed with an agenda that I believe will be supporting the coming beast system Its definitely a very deceivng time we are living in and getting darker all the time and we need to keep being vigilant as believers to not get complacent in keeping our spirits strong by getting our daily bread by staying in His word Keeping a strong prayer life and to remain in fellowship with other believers and to continue to help further the gospel of the Kingdom Etc Thank you Rabbi Schneider for your ongoing faithfulness to share your gifts to equip the body and further this great gospel of our great God May He bless and keep you and yours ✌️❤️🙏😇☝️🙌🔥✝️💪👿🥊😘👋 PS I apoligize for this being so long 🥰

[foodforthought]

I particularly enjoy the traditional singing/praise to God. Many churches and people have taken worship to an unbiblical place. Blessed for your teaching and perspectives.

[mygirlsh]

Keep preaching and teaching GOD's HOLY truth! Thank you Rabbi Schneider!

[hildahilda]

God almighty help us all. In Jesus' name

[wan]

But also thanks to the PC and the internet, I learned about the world and I learned about God!
I'am baptized 2 months ago.

Edit: in regards to these technics, I allways think at the words of Daniël 12:4.

Shalom Rabbi Schneider. Many thanks for expounding on this much needed Truth.
If I may...I would like to add to what you have shared here that the topic at hand is also about p-o-s-s-e-s-s-io-n; who belongs to whom, by adhering to what, and/or by believing/following what/whom: as the surety or safety for the beloved of the Most High and His Messiah, a believer is Yahweh's possession. This is verified by a SEAL. SEAL, especially in the book of revelation of the anointed one, denotes possession, authority/authorization .
The Tanach emphasizes and conjoins your point with the seal/mark with/of the Spirit(Ruach Hakodesh), as it stands in the epistle to Ephesians 1: 13-14.
Thanks for equipping the masses.
Shalom!

[therapturesoon]

Thank you Rabbi. I too believe that technology use with people today is becoming addictive. Social media has become a place where people freely express to much about their daily lives. I always said that social media is prepping everyone to accept what's coming in the world. Shalom and thanks.😊
