Who Is the Beast and what is his mark,

Who is the Beast of Revelation 13 and what is his image namely the Image of the Beast.

The Beast

Bible says : Revelation 13:1 And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.

Rise up out of the Sea ! what does sea represent in bible 

Bible says:

Revelation 17:15 And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.

seas or waters = people ,multitudes and nations and tongues. 

So the place that the Beast rise up out of or grew out of was a populated place on the planet, but not only that, it had varied people ,with varied tongues or languages and varied nations. 

The beast has Ten horns

Where in the bible do u see a ten horn Beast and what are these horns representing ?

bible says concerning horns : 

Habakkuk 3:4 says :

And his brightness was as the light; he had horns coming out of his hand: and there was the hiding of his power.

Horns =power So this Beast rose up among a populated place in the earth and had power . IN the book of Daniel chapter 8 we see that Horn represent power in a specific form. What is this form power .

Daniel 8 :20 The ram which thou sawest having two horns are the kings of Media and Persia.

in another place it says Beast = kingdom

Daniel 7:23 Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth,

So Horns represents kingly power 

Lets consider the other fact of this Beast the Bible says  upon his heads the name Blasphemy

what is Blasphemy ? 

John10:33 The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God.

Mark 2:7 Why doth this man thus speak blasphemies? who can forgivesins but God only?

So this Beast in Revelation 13 

. come up from a populated area on the earth.

. it has ten kings .

. it is part of a Kingdom.

. blasphemes as  man by making himself a God. A man because he is a King with a kingdom.

Where on planet earth ?

.Was a populated place 

.Ten kings came up and a man stood up among them being like a God forgives sins.

.This man who forgives sins is also a king .He has state power or kingly rule.

. Or where church and state is combined?

This is none other than the Vatican Pope of Rome.

Was Rome once made up of 10 parts ?

Yes Rome was once 1. Alemanni–Germany. 2. Franks–France. 3. Anglo-Saxons–England. 4. Burgundians–Switzerland. 5. Visigoths –Spain. 6. Suevi–Portugal. 7. Lombards–Italy. 8. Heruli. 9. Vandals. 10. Ostrogoths.

So how did this Beast power,The Bishops of Rome  Rise out of The roman Empire ?

lets look in Daniel which shows the same beast with ten horns

Daniel 7:7 After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth: it devoured and brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with the feet of it: and it was diverse from all the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns.

8 I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things.

Notice the little horn come up in the Roman empire among the other 10 kings but he removes or replace 3 horns.

History proves that the Bishop of Rome with the Help of Clovis the king of the Franks (now france) Baptise and became a Roman Catholic and assisted in the removal of the resistant 3 tribes namely the Heruli, Vandals and Ostrogoths.

The Beast Power fits all the historical data as the Bishop of Rome .

We know as fact because the Capitol of The Roman Empire in 330 AD was moved to the East Constantinople Rome, the Bishops of Rome was primarily ruling western Rome. Here we see state power was given to religious entity in 330 AD.

So Rev 13 in symbols has shown us who the beast is Where he originates from and  and how he gained his power.

.Was a populated place old World

.Ten kings came up another horn or power  man stood up among them being like a God 

  forgives sins.

.This man who forgives sins is also a king .He has state power or kingly rule.

. Or where church and state is combined?

This is none other than the Vatican Pope of Rome which removed three Barbarian tribes and 

France being the first of them to renounce its former Religion and the other tribes follow. 

The 3tribes rooted up or removed resisted and was destroyed.

So now that the bible has shown us who is the Beast what is His mark?

what does a mark in the Bible represent ?

Genesis 4:15

And the Lord said unto him, Therefore whosoever slayeth Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold. And the Lord set a mark upon Cain, lest any finding him should kill him.

It seems in the bible a mark is an article of distinction!

Again Ezekiel 9:4

And the Lord said unto him, Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry for all the abominations that be done in the midst thereof.

Noticed The mark is the mark of His name, If you have his mark you belong to him ,same as your name tells what family you come from.

Revelation 14:11

And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.

Since we know the Beast is Roman and Catholic what is that which distinguish you as a Roman Catholic.Whats distinguishing mark of Catholicism? The Best person to Ask would be a Bishop ,A Priest some one of that nature wouldn't it? lets here what they say :

"The Church, on the other hand, after changing the day of rest from the Jewish Sabbath, or seventh day of the week, to the first, made the Third Commandment refer to Sunday as the day to be kept holy as the Lord's Day. The Council of Trent (Sess. VI, can. xix) condemns those who deny that the Ten Commandments are binding on Christians." The Catholic Encyclopedia, Commandments of God, Volume IV, © 1908 by Robert Appleton Company, Online Edition © 1999 by Kevin Knight, Nihil Obstat - Remy Lafort, Censor Imprimatur - +John M. Farley, Archbishop of New York, page 153.

They refer above  to the 3rd Commandment as the Holy Rest day commandment But this is not the case in the bible. In Exodus 20 the 4th is the Holy Day commandment, not the 3rd.
So what happened. The Catholic church claims its has the authority to change Laws. Thus it has removed the 2nd concerning bowing to images etc and split the 10th to maintain the list of ten commandments.

Continues ,The Catholic mark of distinction.

''The [Roman Catholic] Church changed the observance of the Sabbath to Sunday by right of the divine, infallible authority given to her by her founder, Jesus Christ. The Protestant claiming the Bible to be the only guide of faith, has no warrant for observing Sunday. In this matter the Seventh-day Adventist is the only consistent Protestant.'' The Catholic Universe Bulletin, August 14, 1942, p. 4. 

"All of us believe many things in regard to religion that we do not find in the Bible. For example, nowhere in the Bible do we find that Christ or the Apostles ordered that the Sabbath be changed from Saturday to Sunday. We have the commandment of God given to Moses to keep holy the Sabbath Day, that is the 7th day of the week, Saturday. Today most Christians keep Sunday because it has been revealed to us by the Church outside the Bible." The Catholic Virginian, "To Tell You The Truth,” Vol. 22, No. 49 (Oct. 3, 1947).

"... you may read the Bible from Genesis to Revelation, and you will not find a single line authorizing the sanctification of Sunday. The Scriptures enforce the religious observance of Saturday, a day which we never sanctify." The Faith of Our Fathers, by James Cardinal Gibbons, Archbishop of Baltimore, 88th edition, page 89. Originally published in 1876, republished and Copyright 1980 by TAN Books and Publishers, Inc., pages 72-73.

So its mark is Sunday Worship, Which comes from the Old pagan idea of sun worship.

The beast mark is Sunday worship.

The number of its name is 666 which means mans way three times.
