Ten Points defining 666 and the Mark of the Beast

1. The mark comes from the beast, which represents the Roman Catholic Church.
2. The Mark of the Beast is deceptive and so is not obvious. (Revelation 19:20)
3. The warning against the mark will be given with a loud voice, thus it must be clear and easy to understand. (Revelation 14:9)
4. The three angels reveal a comprehensive message from God before the second coming of Jesus Christ to the entire world to help people understand the mark. (Revelation 14:6-16)
5. The mark involves a special sin against God Himself, for those who receive it will drink the wine of His wrath. (Revelation 14:9-11)
6. The mark will be received on the forehead, which represents the mind, or on the hand, which represents the actions. (Revelation 14:9; Deuteronomy 6:5-8; 11:18)
7. The mark has something to do with the changing of God’s law. (compare Daniel 7:25 with Revelation 13:16 and see Deuteronomy 6:5-8)
8. Those who worship Jesus Christ as Creator will not get the mark. (Revelation 14:7, 9-11)
9. Those who keep the Ten Commandments will not get the mark. (Revelation 14:9, 12)
10. 666 is the number of a mans name from the beast power that we have to add or count. (Revelation 13:17-18)

Does the Bible foretell of Muhammad, the prophet of Islam?

Einstein Method or Blind Faith

Muslims claim that the Bible foretells of Muhammad. To arrive at this idea, Muslims quote Moses' words that foretell of a prophet greater than himself. Muslims believe this verse foretells of Muhammad. Consider Moses' words as follows:
"I will raise up for them a prophet like you from among their brothers; I will put my words in his mouth, and he will tell them everything I command him" (Deuteronomy 18:18). The problem is that Muhammad could not foretell the future. The Einstein Method supports this conclusion at a high confidence level. But Moses did foretell the future. If a greater prophet than Moses is to appear after Moses, then that prophet must accurately and consistently foretell the future. The prophet Isaiah has a challenge for false prophets as follows.
" . . . declare to us the things to come, tell us what the future holds, so we may know" (Isaiah 41:23). Since Muhammad did not foretell the future, he fails the test of a true prophet. Moses' prophecy of a future greater prophet could be made to mean anyone. To understand what Moses meant requires ALL the scriptures. However, Daniel's prophecy is very specific. Even the time is given when the Messiah will appear. Jesus is the only person that meets the requirements found in both Daniel and Moses.

The Dead Sea Scrolls confirm that the book of Daniel has not been changed. Let's move forward to address other Muslim misgivings about the Christian faith. Muslims believe that Islam is the final revelation of God to humanity.

About Iglesia Ni Cristo

The Iglesia ni Cristo (pronounced [ɪˈɡleʃɐ ni ˈkɾisto]; Tagalog for Church of Christ; also known as INC, or Iglesia, is the largest entirely indigenous Christian religious organization that originated from the Philippines and the largest independent church in Asia.Due to a number of similarities, some Protestant writers describe the INC's doctrines as restorationist in outlook and theme, but nothing can be found to connect the INC to the Restoration Movement. Felix Y. Manalo officially registered the church as a corporation sole with him as executive minister on July 27, 1914 and because of this, most publications refer to him as the founder of the church.However, the official doctrines of the church profess that Jesus Christ is the founder of the INC and that Felix Manalo was God's last messenger, whom he sent to re-establish the Christian Church to its true, pristine form because the original church was apostatized. They believe that the apostatized church is the Roman Catholic Church, and proclaim that Catholic beliefs shared by most Christians, such as the Trinity - which is according to the Oxford Dictionary of the Christian Church as the central dogma of Christian theology are proof of this apostacy. The organization does not believe in the Trinity, nor that the divinity of Jesus and the Holy Spirit are Biblical.
On August 31, 2009, Iglesia ni Cristo's Executive Minister Eraño G. Manalo died from cardiopulmonary arrest. Eduardo V. Manalo is expected to succeed him as leader of the Iglesia ni Cristo.
