In my brief 70 years on earth I have discovered a few things! One thing is about popular cultures! My wife of 45 years is from India and we did missionary work in India for 3 years. So I have learned another culture besides my own! For the most part popular culture opposes Christ and the Kingdom of God! The songs of the Beetles back in the 1960’s mocked Christ! Jeremiah was a bull frog! In the 1970’s the movie Jesus Christ Superstar was a mockery of Christ! Drug use opposes our Biblical scriptures! Abortion! Homosexuality! Transgenderism, Lesbianism, socialism and the list goes on! How about tattoos? Surely nothing is wrong with this? So innocent? There are 25 scriptures in your Bible that warn us against marking our body! Here is one example; Leviticus 19:28 “You shall not make any cuts on your body for the dead nor make any tattoo on yourself. I am the Lord. Honor God with your body. This is God’s body not ours. You are going to have to give it back.” So who cares? According to statistics many do not care! According to “History of Tattoos.net”, 4 billion people in the world have tattoos! Thirty six percent of American’s have tattoos! So over 50 percent of the world population has some kind of a mark on their bodies! They vary from a small sized one to a full body tattoo! Some wear them under their clothes! Pastor! Please! So what does this have to do with the price of beans in China! Thanks to Trump the price of beans is going up in China! The American jobs are coming back to America! Go to another important Book in your Bible! This is the only Book in your Bible that promises a special blessing if you read and study it! Go to Revelation 13:16-17. During the 7 year tribulation period the Anti-Christ the then one world political ruler will require everyone to take a mark on their forehead and right hand! Popular culture if embraced will set you up for the Anti-Christ! My Bible says the Anti-Christ will have no natural affection for women! He will be a homosexual! This explains the popular culture promotion of gay marriage! He also will be a Jew just as our Savior is a Jew! He will deceive the Jews into making a peace treaty with them! He will have a number representing a symbol marked on all of his followers! In fact they cannot buy or sell without this mark! This symbol is represented by the number 666. Unlike English Hebrew letters also represent numbers! The 6th Hebrew letter, Vav, has a numerical value of six. The shape of the Hebrew letter is a symbol that looks like a nail or a spike! The Greek word for “mark”, in Revelation is the word “Charagma.” Strong’s number 5480. It means to scratch or etch! If you put the three Hebrew symbols together in a row that represent 666 what do you have? You have three spikes in a row! The image representing the three spikes that nailed Jesus to the Cross! This is the symbol of the Anti-Christ that all his followers must be marked with! The symbol that nailed Jesus to the Cross! Some will say it must be some high tech imbedded chip planted under the skin? Wrong! Your visa credit card and pin are numbers different from every other person to identify you! During the tribulation everyone will take the same mark! So is my tattoo no big deal? If you accept gays and tattoos as popular culture does then you are preparing yourself for the Anti-Christ! I am preparing to meet Christ who opposes these things! If you have embraced popular culture repent to Jesus and ask him to wash you under the Blood of the Lamb! I do not want anyone to take the Mark of the Beast but some will anyway! I am warning you because I do not want your blood on my hands! James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com
