11. Revelation 12-13 - Mark of the Beast 666, Dragon & The Child - by Steve Gregg

In this class, Steve discusses what the Mark of the Beast is, 666, who the Beast is (some think he's The Antichrist), and who the child born to the woman is.

You maybe surprised to hear the evidence relating the number 666 to Caesar Nero, the Roman Emperor in the 1st century who barbaricly persecuted, tortured and executing Christians.

But more than that, the beast may signify all oppressive governments throughout the Church Age that persecute Christians.

Meanwhile Steve shows from other Bible passages how the Mark of the Beast or the Mark of God is not a computer chip, tattoo, etc., but a symbol of your thoughts and actions, showing you are a follow of Christ or the devil.

He also shows that the child born to the woman is obviously Jesus being born to the remnant of Israel. This is proof that Revelation doesn't go in chronological order as we've already seen the Great Tribulation in previous chapters.

You may follow along the lecture with these notes, startin on PAGE 84 (Ch 12) and 91 (Ch 13): http://www.digitalministries.us/steve_gregg/text/crombie_revelation.pdf

Steve goes through all the major views on Revelation, explaining the pros and cons of each camp.

Steve Gregg is the man. He just might be the best preacher in the nation on the Book of Revelation. He teaches the entire bible well. My Old favorite was Hank Hannagraph but now Greg Koukl and J Vernon Mgee along with John Macarthor are my current favorite radio preachers. These guys are not in it for the money they preach against Church tithing. I still like the Bible answer man Hank Hannagraph but he teaches church tithing.
