Because of my inability to perfectly form sentence structures and paragraphs some have expressed having difficulty
understanding what some of my points are, others have stated that they rarely have a problem understanding what I
am getting at. It is my prayer, however, that what I have written is understood whether you agree with it or not, and
if you dont agree with it and find it to be falsified information I would appreciate having the truth pointed out to
me. Whichever the case may be if you find errors in grammar or punctuation and wish to point it out I will
appreciate it and will take no offence to you doing so. Any help I receive is appreciated and helps me to continue
learning.
Also, if there are things that I have overlooked that will strengthen the viewpoint of this work I would appreciate
your input on that too, or if you find that you are critical of this work then constructive criticism is encouraged.
Although it has been stated that I over explain some things, but an under-explanation is incomplete.
Thank you,

Notations:
All Scriptural quotes come from the Authorized King James Version (KJV) - Except when noted.
Jehovah is an improper transliteration of our heavenly fathers name, Yahweh. Therefore, Yahweh is used
throughout this study and the Scriptural quotes that are quoted in this work where the improper name, Jehovah, has
been used, or where God, GOD, LORD and Lord have been rendered in place of his name his proper name,
Yahweh, has been restored in those quotes.
Jesus is an improper transliteration of our saviors name, Yahushua. Therefore, Yahushua is used throughout this
study and the Scriptural quotes that are quoted in this work where the improper name, Jesus, has been used his
proper name, Yahushua, has been restored in those quotes.

God is a poor translation of the Hebrew word, Elohim. Elohim has a singular-plural meaning rather than simply
being singular like the word, God, is. Like the word family is one (singular), but it is one as in a unit (plural), the
same is true of the word Elohim. However, the word God does not carry across that same meaning and therefore is a
poor translation of the word Elohim. Therefore, for a better rendition of the original word, Elohim, it has been
restored throughout this study and in the Scriptural quotes where the word, God, was translated from the word,
Elohim.

Other Words such as: Christ, cross, and crucified within Scriptural quotes words such as: Messiah, stake, and
impaled would be used instead because of personal preference. The use of these words would not change the context
of any verse of Scripture quoted.

The number 666 (some translations read, 616) is often times associated with the mark of the beast, but at the present
time I do not associate the number 666/616 as being the mark. However, I do have some thoughts that I would like
to share concerning, the mark of the beast.
First it should be noted what our savior said about obtaining eternal like. In Matthew 19:17 he was asked the
question, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life? And his answer was, if thou wilt enter into life,
keep the commandments. With this being said it leads me to believe that the mark of the beast will be avoided
simply by keeping the commandments, and I believe this can be seen in the verses of Scripture that tell us to not take
the mark of the beast. Revelation 13:9-18 reads:
If any man have an ear, let him hear. 10He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that
killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the
saints. 11And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb,
and he spake as a dragon. 12And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and
causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound
was healed. 13And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the
earth in the sight of men, 14And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those
miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth,
that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.
15
And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should
both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be
killed. 16And 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: 17And 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. 18Here is wisdom. Let him that hath
understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six
hundred threescore and six.

Does anyone see how the commandments are being broken here?

#1
The first commandment is, Thou shalt have no other Elohim before me. (Ex. 20:3)
But Revelation 13:15 reads, as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed. To
worship the beast is a violation of the first commandment.
#2
The second commandment is, Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, (Ex. 20:4)
But Revelation 13:14 reads, make an image to the beast. This violates the second commandment.
#3
The third commandment is: Thou shalt not take the name Yahweh thy Elohim in vain (Ex. 20:7)
But Revelation 13:16 reads, And he causeth all to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads.
Revelation 14:1 tells us that the name of our heavenly father is in the forehead of the Saints, thus, because the beast
is in opposition to what our heavenly father stands for it is reasonable to say that what he tries to cause everyone to
put in their forehead would be a name other than our heavenly fathers name, and this would be a violation of the
third commandment. What people do not realize is: to call our creator by a name other than the name he told us to
use brings his name to naught. It is clear to some that worshiping on a day other than the day he told us to worship
on isnt acceptable, so why would it be acceptable to call our creator by a name other than the name he told us to
use? Sure, you use a name, but is it the name he said to use? Although though a persons intention may be to
worship our heavenly father there is such a thing as, vain worship (Mt. 15:9). The people who worship on a day
other than the day our creator told them to worship on do worship our creator, but when the standards of man to
worship him are used instead of doing so according to his standards then that makes our worship, vain. This same is
true of the name we call our creator. Dont allow the beast cause you to place a name in your forehead other than the

name of our creator. To do so is accepting the mark that he has for you. Something else to consider is what we are
told in Revelation 7:3-4. This is concerning a group of people who are given a seal and are protected, and from
Revelation 14:1 it is evident that the seal is the name of our heavenly father. This reminds me of what Israel was told
to do with the blood of the lamb in Exodus 12, those who had the blood were protected, here we see that those who
have the name of our heavenly father in their foreheads are protected. (Also see Pro. 18:10; Ps. 9:10; 91:14)
#4
The fourth commandment is: Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. (Ex. 20:8)
But Revelation 13:16 reads, And he causeth all to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads.
Many believe this mark in the right hand has to do with violating the fourth commandment, and I agree. The mark in
our hand has to do with our labors, 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). However, notice that this mark isnt the only mark we have to look
out for. In other words, although we might not be breaking all of the commandments, the goal of the beast is to get
us to break at least one of the commandments (James 2:10). It doesnt matter to the beast which mark we take as
long as we take one of his marks. Notice again verse 17 of Revelation 13, he wants us to take either: the mark, OR
the name of the beast, OR the number of his name. In other words, there will be some who do not take the mark
that is placed in the right hand (Sabbath keepers) who are still followers of the beast; those who are following the
beast that havent taken that mark have likely taken the mark that is in the forehead. Either way, they are both
followers of the beast. And although I cannot explain what the meaning is behind the number of his name (666 Rev.
13:18) it is assured that the keeping of Yahwehs commandments is of importance in defeating the beast of
Revelation 13. The mark of the beast having to do with violating the commandments is further revealed in
Revelation 14: 9-12:

And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast
(breaks the first commandment) and his image (breaks the second commandment), and receive his
mark in his forehead (breaks the third commandment), or in his hand (breaks the fourth
commandment), 10The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of Yahweh, which is poured out
without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone
in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: 11And the smoke of their
torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the
beast (breaks the first commandment) and his image (breaks the second commandment), and
whosoever receiveth the mark of his name (breaks the third commandment). 12Here is the
patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of Yahweh, and the faith of
Yahushua.
Please note what is written in verse 12 of Revelation 14, Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep
the commandments of Yahweh Breaking the commandments of Yahweh is clearly what is done by those who are
following the beast. Those who follow the beast break the commandments while the Saints keep the
commandments. Lets take a look at the way Revelation 15:2 is written in connection of getting victory over the
beast:
And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that had gotten the victory over
the beast (by keeping the first commandment), and over his image (by keeping the second
commandment), and over his mark (by keeping the third & fourth commandments), and over
the number of his name (might have something to do with the number of man and the day he was
created, being the sixth day, and possibly having to do with keeping the six other commandments
that has to do with man), stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of Yahweh.
This victory over the beast is seen in Revelation 20 too. Revelation 20:4 reads:

Rev 20:4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I
saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Yahushua, and for the word of
Yahweh, and which had not worshipped the beast (by keeping the first commandment), neither his

image (by keeping the second commandment), neither had received his mark upon their foreheads
(by keeping the third commandment), or in their hands (by keeping the fourth commandment); and
they lived and reigned with Messiah a thousand years.

It is understood by most that the commandments dealing with man are important, but, surprisingly, when it comes to
the commandments that have to deal with our creator it is evidently assumed that as long as his creation worships
him then all forms of worship is acceptable (doesnt matter if you worship other gods because he knows in reality
that your worship of him comes first because he is the ultimate true deity, it doesnt matter if you make images of
him or images of other gods he knows that in your heart youre not really worshiping that image and that your
intentions are in honor of the absolute true deity, it doesnt matter what name you call him because the name you
call him is the one you are most comfortable using and he knows what ever name you use it is intended to represent
the absolute true deity), but if this were the case then there would be no warnings of false prophets deceiving you
into believing a false message (see Scriptures below). The fact of the matter is: he does not want you to worship
other gods, and he does not want you to have supposed images of him around, and it does matter what name you call
him, and it does matter what day you set aside to worship him on; to do otherwise plays into the hands of the beast
of Revelation.
(There are several warnings in Scripture not to be deceived, Mt. 7:15; 24:11, 24; 44:4; Mk. 13:22; Lk. 21:8; 1Cor.
1Cor. 3:18; 6:9; 15:33; Eph. 5:6; Gal. 6:7; 2Thess. 2:3; 2Pet. 2:1; 1Jn. 1John 3:7; 4:1; Rev. 12:9)
Keeping the commandments of Yahweh is the key: in the book of Mark the direct importance of the first four
commandments in relation to true worship is revealed in the same way it is revealed in Revelation. Mark 12:28-31
reads:
And one of the scribes came, and having heard them reasoning together, and perceiving that he
had answered them well, asked him, Which is the first commandment of all? 29And Yahushua
answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; Yahweh our Elohim is one
Lord: 30And thou shalt love Yahweh thy Elohim with all thy heart (by keeping the first
commandment), and with all thy soul (by keeping the second commandment), and with all thy
mind (by keeping the third commandment), and with all thy strength (by keeping the fourth
commandment): this is the first commandment. 31And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt
love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.
What I mostly want to point out in the above quoted verses of Scriptures is that loving Yahweh is first on the list
(vv. 28, 30; Mt. 6:33), but most people put more infuses on keeping the commandments dealing with man. This isnt
to say that those commandments are not important, but with the beast system being close to being implemented
maybe its time to focus on keeping the four commandments that deal with our creator. Like the commandments that
deal with man, all 6 of them are important, so too are the commandments that deal with our creator, all four of them
are important.
If you are already keeping the Sabbath on the seventh day of the week then dont allow someone convince you that
doing so is not important. But if you dont keep the Sabbath of Yahweh I cant stress the importance of it enough
that you should keep the seventh day Sabbath. Sure, you can make any day out to be a Sabbath day but the
difference between the seventh day Sabbath and a Sabbath on any other day of the week is, one is of Yahweh (Ex.
20:10), which makes us followers of Messiah, and the other is of man. Either we are followers of Yahweh (a true
Christian) or we are just following the crowed (Mt. 7:13-15; Lk. 13:24)
Also, if you are already what some call, a sacred nammer (one who keeps from calling our creator by a false name
(Ex. 23:13; Dt. 12:3; 18:20; Josh. 23:7; Ps. 16:4), then dont allow anyone cause you to believe that the name of our
creator is not important (Ex. 20:7; Joel 2:32; Acts 2:21; 4:12; Rom. 10:13: 1Jn. 3:23), but if you dont believe in the
importance of our creators name or call him by a false name then I cant stress enough how important it is to use his
name reverently and to not use a false name. Satan is so hard at work to keep people from knowing our creators

holy name that in most cases he deceived man into removing it from Scripture. Dont fall victim to this beast.
Restore our creators name, Yahweh, in Scripture where it has wrongfully been taken out. Yahweh did not
authorize anyone to alter his word, he specifically says, Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you,
neither shall ye diminish ought from it (Dt. 4:2, see also Pro. 30:6; Rev. 22:18-19). Believe it or not our creators
name has been removed from Scripture approximately 7000. In the Old Testament nearly everywhere where the
word, LORD, is found in all capital letters the name, Yahweh, has been removed and the words, the LORD, have
been added in its place. This not only violates our creators will to not have anything removed from his word but it
violates his will to not have something add to his word. Thus, when I am reading the Old Testament and when I
come to a place where I see, the LORD, instead of reading the words, the LORD, I read, Yahweh, because I know
that is what our creator intended. It is only a matter of doing his will (Mt. 7:21). It isnt a matter of worshiping the
name as some claim. But people try to twist things around on those who are trying to do the will of our creator to
make them look bad, or stupid, for wanting to do his will. However, we have to keep ourselves from giving in to
those people.
Concerning keeping the first commandment, How can a person keep that one unless they are aware of the one who it
says to worship? This is where some of the confusion comes in for some people. The corrupted translation of the
first commandment says, I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the
house of bondage 3Thou shalt have no other gods before me (Ex. 20:2-3). With all of the deities being identified as
being, God, many assume that as long as you worship one of them then it doesnt matter, because they may assume
that they are all the same god just with different names. However, when reading the Scriptures as our creator
intended for them to be read his name would have to be restored, and it would read this way, I am Yahweh thy
Elohim, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage 3Thou shalt have no other
Elohim before me (Ex. 20:2-3). Now we can see that the only god we are to worship is, Yahweh. No, Allah and
Yahweh isnt the same god. Allah is, a god, but he is not Yahweh, and he is not to be worshiped. No god other than
Yahweh is to be worshiped and this too is where it is a little confusing for those who worship, Jesus. The simple
fact is that just like the name, Yahweh, has been replaced in Scripture with something other than his name the name
of our savior has been corrupted in Scripture. The actual name that was given to our savior when he was born here
on earth was, Yahushua, which means, Yahweh saves. Because Yahushua is the one who actually saves us (Mt.
1:21; Jn 12:47; 1Tim. 1:15) this shows us that in the Old Testament he was, Yahweh. Not only was he Yahweh in
the Old Testament but with an understanding of Scripture he was called, Yahweh, in the new Testament too. This is
known to be true because Acts 2:21 is a reference to our savior, and it is a quote from the Old Testament (Joel 2:32).
And in this verse of Scripture the name. Yahweh is used. Furthermore, when our savior returns the name, Yahweh,
is used in reference to him (Jer. 23:6; Zec. 14:3-4).
Well, some of this is a little hard to understand but because the names of our savior and our heavenly father have
been removed from Scripture it makes it harder to figure out, and that is just the way, Satan, the deceiver intends
(Rev. 12:9). However, because our savior has warned us about deception it is my hope that all who read this will
take keeping the commandments more seriously. Dont just try to master just half of them, or three quarters of them,
master them all; by doing so you will avoid taking the mark of the beast.
