The Mark Or The Gift Of Life

                                Rev 13:17 ASV - and that no man should be able to buy or to sell, save he that hath the mark, even the name of the beast or the number of his name.       And the first went, and poured out his bowl into the earth; and it became a noisome and grievous sore upon the men that had the mark of the beast, and that worshiped his image.    The word Image is very important to understand  . Gen 1:27 ASV - And God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. Image or likeness of God ,   and God has no body Jesus his son said his father is a spirit and those that worship him must worship him in spirit and truth.  So what is the image of God concerning his creation .  You cannot see a spirit Jesus said it is like the wind and God breath life into our flesh bodies just like Adam , the breath of life into our mortal bodies and we became living souls . Jesus said he came in his fathers name    Gen 1:27 ASV - And God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.  This name is not what you are called or identified by, it is who you are in spirit according to Gods Image . And Gods image is his authority  , character nature all that his image or likeness implies the power of his name .      Concerning Pharaoh  and the children   ,  God sent Moses to Pharaoh to let his people go free .        When Moses said to God who will I say has sent me ,  God said tell him I AM has sent you   Jehovah = "the existing One"

Jesus says when the master rises up and puts shut to the DOOR !  Rev 3:20 ASV - Behold, I stand at the door and knock: if any man hear my voice and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.   It is a personal relationship Jesus is seeking with mankind . Jesus called it an abiding he said that he and the father will come and abide IN YOU make our home in you. 
 Luk 13:25 ASV - When once the master of the house is risen up, and hath shut to the door, and ye begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, open to us; and he shall answer and say to you, I know you not whence ye are;  The word whence is where you are from whose house you are from, what household you are from who is your father,  the author and giver of your life.   Jesus is saying if my father is your father than you are born into the family of God , a child of God.     
 Door =  the door through which sheep go in and out , the name of him who brings salvation to those who follow his guidance .  Greek: thura Door:      metaphorically, of Christ, Jhn 10:7, 9; of faith, by acceptance of the Gospel, Act 14:27; of "openings" for preaching and teaching the Word of God, 1Cr 16:9; 2Cr 2:12; Col 4:3; Rev 3:8; of "entrance" into the Kingdom of God, Mat 25:10; Luk 13:24, 25; of Christ's "entrance" into a repentant believer's heart, Rev 3:20; of the nearness of Christ's second advent, Mat 24:33; Mar 13:29; cp. Jam 5:9; of "access" to behold visions relative to the purposes of God, Rev 4:1.
Rom 10:10 ASV - for with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.    Heart stoma -  the seat of moral nature and spiritual life  The heart, in its moral significance  , includes the emotions, the reason and the will.   And the mouth  Greek: stoma Edge, Edged:       since thoughts of a man's soul find verbal utterance by his mouth, the "heart" or "soul" and the mouth are distinguished  has a secondary and figurative meaning in reference to the "edge of a sharp instrument, as of a sword," Luk 21:24

      For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.    I would like to parallel this verse with the verse in Act 2:36 ASV - Let all the house of Israel therefore know assuredly, that God hath made him both Lord and Christ, this Jesus whom ye crucified.      Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and the rest of the apostles, Brethren, what shall we do?   Greek: katanusso  Prick (Verb):primarily, "to strike or prick violently, to stun," is used of strong emotion, in Act 2:37 (Passive Voice), "they were pricked (in their heart)." Cp. katanuxis, "stupor, torpor of mind," Rom 11:8.  Rom 10-10 Says with a mans heart he believes unto righteousness ,  and I will say that  when God touches your heart with his Godly sorrow there will be an honest repentance .  Confession Greek: homologeo  Confess, Confession:    "to confess by way of admitting oneself guilty of what one is accused of, the result of inward conviction," 1Jo 1:9;  "to declare openly by way of speaking out freely, such confession being the effect of deep conviction of facts, This word is what the men were asking Peter what must we do .  What must we do to be free from this sin . 
                        
   "to declare openly by way of speaking out freely, such confession being the effect of deep conviction of facts, .  John came preaching repentance ! make your paths straight for the the one coming after me . John was saying through repentance your making the paths to your heart level and free for Christ to come in and sup with you and you with him.
A heart with honest conviction , leveling and taking out all the obstacles and make the way open unto Jesus to come into the heart of a man for eternal life.   Sin in a a mans life will separate him from God that is why there had to be a sacrifice and with out the shedding of blood there is no remission of sins . God compares his son and his death on a cross as a lamb to slaughter .  And he called it a Passover ,  he says his son was as a young lamb sinless with out spot or blemish innocent of any guilt.   And it was a commandment to take a lamb and slaughter it and roast it with fire . To eat it with unleavened bread ,  bitter herbs .  Take the blood of that lamb and hyssop and strike the lintel and the door post with the blood as a sign .   For God is not only a God of love but a God of wrath , men that do not fear God and do not believe his word and therefore do not have the blood of the lamb on their hearts the same door Jesus says if you will open your heart as he is knocking .   I will come and sup with you and you with me, and have a relationship with you. There was a destroyer coming at midnight to bring death to the first born of every family , but if he sees the blood of the lamb he will pass you over. 
  Rev 7:14 ASV - And I say unto him, My lord, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they that come out of the great tribulation, and they washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.        
    Robes   Greek: stole   Clothing, Cloths, Clothes, Cloke, Coat:         The poderes was another sort of outer garment, reaching to the feet (from pous, "the foot," and aro, "to fasten"). It was one of the garments of the high priests, a robe (Hebrew, chetoneth), mentioned after the ephod in Exd 28:4, etc. It is used in Eze 9:2, where instead of "linen" the Sept. reads "a long robe;" and in Zec 3:4, "clothe ye him with a long robe;" in the NT in Rev 1:13, of the long garment in which the Lord is seen in vision amongst the seven golden lampstands. There, poderes is described as "a garment down to the feet," indicative of His High Priestly character and acts.
This robe is a spiritual condition of the saints ,     A garment down to the feet, no flesh is showing.                                Rev 19:8 ASV - And it was given unto her that she should array herself in fine linen, bright and pure: for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints.    The more we die to our carnal nature the more the nature and character of Jesus is made manifest in us .
Mat 19:28 ASV - And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, that ye who have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit on the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.      In this verse Jesus is referring to the apostles doctrine the true gospel that was preached to mankind .
Greek: palingenesia  Regeneration:
"new birth" (palin, "again," genesis, "birth"), is used of "spiritual regeneration," Tts 3:5, involving the communication of a new life, the two operating powers to produce which are "the word of truth," Jam 1:18; 1Pe 1:23, and the Holy Spirit, Jhn 3:5, 6; the loutron, "the laver, the washing," is explained in Eph 5:26, "having cleansed it by the washing (loutron) of water with the word."
Rom 6:3 ASV - Or are ye ignorant that all we who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death?
Rom 6:4 ASV - We were buried therefore with him through baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we also might walk in newness of life.
Rom 6:5 ASV - For if we have become united with him in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection;
Rom 6:6 ASV - knowing this, that our old man was crucified with him, that the body of sin might be done away, that so we should no longer be in bondage to sin;
Rom 6:7 ASV - for he that hath died is justified from sin.
