What Does It Mean To Worship The Beast (And His Image?

THE PROMISE FOR THOSE WHO WORSHIP THE BEAST & HIS IMAGE

What is the Bible meaning of worship? What does it mean to worship the beast and his image?

Well to begin with, the word "worship" is such a critical word for our souls. Why is that?

In the bible, damnation is promised for those who worship the beast as well as his image. And it is the worst kind of punishment. Take a look.

Rev 14:9  And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, 
Rev 14:10  The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: 
Rev 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. 

Hence it is absolutely imperative that we go into depths, dig deeply like Ezekiel (Ezekiel 8:6-10), and figure out exactly, precisely what it means to worship (the beast and his image). What is the bible meaning of worship?

By the way, it is easy to dismiss this article thinking, well, worship is as it says. Worship is worship.

But never forget, we cannot lean upon our own understanding. Things are not always as they seem.

Pro 3:5  Trust in Yahuah with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.

BIBLICAL CONCEPT OF WORSHIP IS DIFFERENT FROM WHAT WE THINK

But can I tell you that the bible's concept of worship is different from ours? That is because we are westerners and the bible was not written for our culture. Instead, it was written for and by the Hebrews for that culture in which they lived.

So what did they understand about the meaning of worship? What is the Bible meaning of worship?

Let us see these verses below.

Mat 8:2  And, behold, there came a leper and worshipped him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.

Mat 9:18  While he spake these things unto them, behold, there came a certain ruler, and worshipped him, saying, My daughter is even now dead: but come and lay thy hand upon her, and she shall live.

Mat 14:33  Then they that were in the ship came and worshipped him, saying, Of a truth thou art the Son of God.

Mat 15:25  Then came she and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me.

Mat 18:26  The servant therefore fell down, and worshipped him, saying, Lord, have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.

The big question is, to whom are we looking to for help?

In this regard, if this below is not our declaration, then we will worship the beast.

But look carefully and you will see that worship can simply mean making a verbal declaration of faith, asking for help, or even asking for someone to extend patience. It is easier to worship other things than we were taught!

WHAT IS THE BIBLE MEANING OF WORSHIP? REVELATION 13

That is why in Revelation 13 (just as in Matthew) when it speaks about worship of the beast, it describes it as "they worshipped the beast, saying:".

Just look at that? See how simple it is to worship the beast?

Simply declaring "who is like the beast, who can make war with him?" That alone is worship of the beast that comes with the penalty of damnation from the Most High!

MEANING OF WORSHIP: A TEST OF FAITH

So what does it mean to worship the beast and his image? Well, if we look carefully we see that it is a test of faith and trust.

Who do you trust in in times of testing, in times of trial?

Who do you trust in when things get out of your reach? Yes, worship of the beast and his image is a test of faith.

In a practical real world sense, what do we do when we see a powerful one world kingdom set up on this earth, dictating to us ,giving us the choice to worship it or to trust in the Most High?

Are we going to bow to it and say, "man, who is going to defeat this exalted kingdom, we have to comply?"

Or are we going to trust in the Most High and reject everything the beast has to offer, knowing that the Father had warned us about this from hundreds of years ago through his written word?

Remember, the beast is a great exalted kingdom, and the fourth beast is being assembled as we speak (Fourth Industrial Revolution) through the UN Agenda 2030 program.

But if you have read the bible, you must remember this.

Heb 11:6  But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

WHO DO YOU TRUST IN?

Who do you trust in? That is the question. This worship of the beast is what took many away in the plandemic. Then, most of us did not understand the bible meaning of worship.

People were saying, "what can we do?" Others were saying "there is nothing else we can do but to take it."

Those words are actually 'worship of the beast.'

It is saying there is nothing we can do without the help of the system. If so, there is no trust in the Most High, only the fear of man, fear of his disease, and a resultant willingness to take his questionable remedy through a needle.

People like myself were saying, "What about the Most High? He will not forsake those who worship him."

Indeed, we must keep this verse below as a companion whenever we are tempted to worry about provisions.

Psa 37:25  I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.

Otherwise, when times of want come upon us, then we will fold and end up worshipping (trusting in) the beast.

WORSHIP HIM THAT MADE THE HEAVEN AND THE EARTH

Indeed, in the biblical timeline, it is around this time that the Most High will send his angel to declare that we must fear and worship the Creator of the heaven and the earth.

Rev 14:6  And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people, 
Rev 14:7  Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters. 

This means that there will be a competing worship in these times. This is because the sieve of vanity is going to be on this earth to divide the vain from the servants of the Most High.

The critical thing about this time, is that those who do not fear the Most High, who do not worship him, but worship the beast? The sieve of vanity says there will be a bridle in the jaws of the people causing them to err (Isaiah 30:28)!

That means the judgment of the Most High is going to literal bring those who do not have a right heart into error. Whom we worship at this time is more important than ever!

WHOM DO YOU WORSHIP?

And so these latter days is a challenge. Our fate will be determined by whom do we fear, and whom we worship. Torment and damnation is promised for worshipping the beast (Rev 14:9-11), a beast who will be coming with his name, mark, image and number.

What does it mean to worship the beast and his image? We worship the beast by accepting his order, by giving up ourselves to be owned by him just so that we will be able to buy and sell. Even though the bible tells us the beast will only have forty two months?

Most will still bow, lacking faith.

Luk 18:8  I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?

We bow just thinking about our vain lives at this time, not caring about our souls. No longer worshipping the Most High, we give in to the beast and agree with the question, "Who is like the beast, who can make war with him."

But now that you understand what the bible means by worship? Focus on overcoming the beast and his image.
