I recently watched a video by Aaron Russo entitled "From Freedom to Fascism." In the movie he quotes from Revelation 13 about the "mark of the Beast," as a reference to RFID, microchip technology. I am a Christian, and supposedly 80-90% of americans label or think of themselves that way. There are an overwhelming number of denominations and varying religious "views," and interpretations of the "Bible." It has occurred to me over and over again during the last 6 plus years that a person's faith or belief system and what they have been taught, many times stands in their way when confronted with accepting the truth- specifically the truth behind the 9/11 mass murder, and the complicity and involvement of our government leaders. Here is an example: most protestants are convinced that the "Beast" referred to in Revelation is a single person or "antichrist" and that he has to be an Israelite according to what is prophesied in the Old Testament (e.g. last chapters in Daniel) when compared to Chapters 13 and 14 in Revelation when compared to verses in the Thessalonians books. However, it is becoming more and more obvious to me that this interpretation is not exactly true. Certainly, when you take one of the passages in Chapter 13: "one of his heads" - is this a two headed monster or what? Anyway, I do not want to use this site to try and convert people to my faith or debate the validity of various religions or faiths. I do however think that I have some insight that may help you, my fellow 9/11 truthers, when dealing with "Christians," and the issue of Bible prophecy:

Here are some Bible verses from the Book of Revelations in the New American Standard edition. In parentheses I have put what I believe is the most likely intrepretation:

Revelation 12
7 And there was war in heaven, Michael and his angels waging war with the dragon, the dragon and his angels waged war, 8 and they were not strong enough, and there was no longer a place found for them in heaven. 9 And the great dragon was thrown down, the serpent of old who is called the devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him. (I include this passage from the previous chapter as background. It is clear from this passage moving forward who “the dragon” is: it is Satan)

Revelation 13

1 And the dragon (Satan) stood on the sand of the seashore (eastern edge of America- - across the ocean from the continent where Israel resides) . Then I saw a beast (government or governmental system) coming up out of the sea (colonies migrating from Great Britain to America and forming a government), having ten horns (?-Bill of Rights, 1st 10 Amendments to the U.S. Constitution) and seven heads (?-references to cabinets or departments within the government- don’t know enough about 1st United States presidency to be sure), and on his horns were ten diadems, and on his heads were blasphemous names (this seems pretty straightforward; such as references on our money “In God We Trust,” combined with the Latin satanic references- such as to the Egyptian Sun God- that accompany them and all the freemasonry phrases, and such as mottos throughout our government -for example, “The Truth will set you free”- CIA Headquarters; Note: blasphemy is referencing or labeling man-made things as if they were “Godly”, for example the “Supreme” Court). 2 And the beast which I saw was like a leopard (pounces quickly), and his feet were like those of a bear (mighty), and his mouth like the mouth of a lion (voice brings fear to those who oppose; and these references also bring to mind the diversity of the heritage of the United States) And the dragon (Satan) gave him his (the U.S. government) power and his throne and great authority (notice Satan has adopted this government to carry out his plans against man). 3 I saw one of his heads (one of the leaders of the government) as if it had been slain (Ronald Reagan was shot in the chest during an assassination attempt, but lived- the bullet just missed his heart and major blood vessels), and his fatal wound was healed. And the whole earth was amazed and followed after the beast (popularity of the U.S. was never greater than when Reagan was president; seemed that the whole world wanted to be like the U. S.); 4 they worshiped the dragon because he gave his authority to the beast (many in the world were led into satanic and immoral ways because of the U.S. government under Satan’s influence) ; and they worshiped the beast, saying, "Who is like the beast, and who is able to wage war with him (nobody dares to mess with the U.S. because they would be crushed by the U.S. military)?" 5 There was given to him a mouth speaking arrogant words and blasphemies, and authority to act for forty-two months (in the Bible when there isn’t an exact translation for future time periods -2000 years into the future- then generic references are used; in this case- 42 PRESIDENTIAL TERMS OF OFFICE-thru Clinton’s Presidency) was given to him. 6 And he opened his mouth in blasphemies against God, to blaspheme His name and His tabernacle, that is, those who dwell in heaven. 7 It was also given to him to make war with the saints and to overcome them, and authority over every tribe and people and tongue and nation was given to him (what we are seeing with Afghanastan and Iraq is only the beginning). 8 All who dwell on the earth will worship him, everyone whose name has not been written from the foundation of the world in the book of life of the Lamb (Messiah- Christ) who has been slain. 9 If anyone has an ear, let him hear. 10 If anyone is destined for captivity, to captivity he goes; if anyone is to be killed with the sword, with the sword he must be killed, Here is the perseverance and the faith of the saints (Messiah said don’t fear man who can only cause you physical death, but instead fear your Creator who has control of your soul and eternal destiny). 11 Then I saw another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb and he spoke as a dragon (the government of the United States dramatically changed after the 43rd President (Bush) was elected and the events of 9/11, he and his cohorts fooled many of us into thinking he was a true Christian when in actuality he is a "wolf in sheep's clothing;" two horn reference is about the tie between Israel and the United States and all those who are behind the “New World Order”). 12 He exercises all the authority of the first beast in his presence And he makes the earth and those who dwell in it to worship the first beast, whose fatal wound was healed (It is interesting that the RFID, microchip technology, was first introduced at the White House when Reagan was in office and during a Cabinet level briefing; during the briefing Reagan said out loud “My God, it is the mark of the Beast!” To me the most ironic thing is that our government will make the "mark" a tribute to him). 13 He performs great signs, so that he even makes fire come down out of heaven to the earth in the presence of men (doubt this is a reference to 9/11 as one might intuitively think, but I really believe this is a reference to the Strategic Defense Initiative, SDI- “Star Wars, Defense shield” –when it will be first deployed and used; notably, also a Reagan “initiative”). 14 And he deceives those who dwell on the earth because of the signs which it was given him to perform in the presence of the beast, telling those who dwell on the earth to make an image to the beast who had the wound of the sword and has come to life (this will be a tribute to Reagan, and I believe will be embedded in the chip and displayed with the scanning image). 15 And it was given to him to give breath to the image of the beast, so that the image of the beast would even speak and cause as many as do not worship the image of the beast to be killed (I don’t like this part, but the meaning is self explanatory). 16 And he causes all, the small and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the free men and the slaves, to be given a mark on their right hand or on their forehead (I am sure this reference is plain and simple for most; RFID, microchip technology; and notice how insidiously over the past decade or so that we have been lulled in this direction with scanning debit cards and the like, and with all the kidnappings and slayings thru the U.S.- “come on protect your children,” and “this is the only way we will know for sure that you are not a ‘terrorist’”), 17 and he provides that no one will be able to buy or to sell, except the one who has the mark, either the name of the beast or the number of his name (U.S. Government: “Don’t want to get the chip, then fine- starve to death”). 18 Here is wisdom Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for the number is that of a man; and his number is six hundred and sixty-six (many say this is a reference to bar code technology which will be used in scanning process on the chip, and it is true that all barcodes are based on 6-6-6; I lean more towards numerical values of letters in the name and title – e.g. A = 1, B=2 etc and probably will be Reagan’s name in some fashion with a title- “Fortieth President of the United States,” but in the end it doesn’t really matter because it will be obvious, either way, to all who have “wisdom,” when it is implemented as the passage above states).

Revelation 14

(Again, I don’t particularly like this part because it means, unequivocally, that in order to receive salvation you cannot take the mark of the Beast, which basically means you willingly give up your life, but that is what it says; You take on the “mark” of the Beast and you have aligned yourself with Satan and you have sealed your fate): 6 And I saw another angel flying in midheaven, having an eternal gospel to preach to those who live on the earth, and to every nation and tribe and tongue and people; 7 and he said with a loud voice, "Fear God, and give Him glory, because the hour of His judgment has come; worship Him who made the heaven and the earth and sea and springs of waters." 8 And another angel, a second one, followed, saying, "Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great, she who has made all the nations drink of the wine of the passion of her immorality." 9 Then another angel, a third one, followed them, saying with a loud voice, "If anyone worships the beast and his image, and receives a mark on his forehead or on his hand, 10 he also will drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is mixed in full strength in the cup of His anger; and he will be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb. 11 "And the smoke of their torment goes up forever and ever; they have no rest day and night, those who worship the beast and his image, and whoever receives the mark of his name."

(Hope this provides some insight for all of you, and that it will be a useful tool when dealing with Christians about 9/11 truth.)
