Thanks Alda for your comments on Becoming. The understanding of us all on the subject is limited, but ever expanding. I have new thoughts coming to my mind on it regularly which bring greater understanding.
A point I can not stress too much is that the Beast is not the Beast because he is evil, but because of mindlessness. A good thing can be your Beast including the Bible, Jesus, your nation - anything outside yourself that you follow mindlessly.
If you are feeding the homeless because you are simply ordered to by your beastly leader then you have the mark of the beast.
Why is this bad?
Because if you will feed the homeless merely because you were told to then you will also put the homeless into furnaces just because you were told to.
The Dark Brothers always start with goodly sounding control by dangling a carrot of good works in front of us and then move us over into acts we would never do "if we were thinking."
This is what Hitler did with good and decent people in Germany. Time and time again at the war trials those who did despicable acts merely stated in their defense: "I was just following orders."
So what could Bill Gates and his employees do that would be a Beastly act? No one gave a good example of this so let us give a possible scenario.
Bill Gates: "This new upstate of a company is giving us trouble so we need to crush them. Jim. Dig up some dirt on them and feed it to the press."
Jim: Jim does not think of any right or wrong here. He merely answers "Yes Sir!" and obeys.
Bill Gates: "Bob! Find some legal technicalities they have and file some lawsuits."
Bob: Now Bob had a company once that was driven out of business by lawsuits so he was reluctant to conform, but after a pause where he thought about the needs of his family for the weekly paycheck he sighed and put on a smiley face and said: "I'll get right on it."
Bill Gates: Gale! Write a virus and find a way to get it into their software.
Gale: "Couldn't we get in trouble if we get caught?"
Bill Gates: "Believe me. We will not get caught."
Gale: "I don't know about this. I try and live a good Christian life and this doesn't seem to be the right thing to do."
Bill Gates: "Are you with the team or not. Yes or no?"
Gale: She too thinks about her family. "I suppose I am on the team."
Bill Gates: Is it yes or no?" Bill demands.
Gale: Yes.
Bill Gates: Ok then. Sally. My sources reveal that the President of the company is having an affair. Do what you have to do to get pictures, tapes, whatever you need to let leverage on the guy.
Sally who desperately needs the job says: "I have to draw the line here my friends. What is it with you people? You are following along like mindless idiots. Now, if we want to start this meeting over and proceed with a fair course that is fine, but I am not going along with this plan.
Bill Gates: If you do not go along you are out of here and I'll see to it that you never work again in this industry. You'll be lucky to get a job as a waitress.
"So be it," said Sally. "I am out of here."
This is of course an imaginary example and we have no way of knowing what Bill Gates does in his private meetings but the question is:
Out of the four people who were expected to follow orders were all three who did submit a part of the Beast? Why? Why was Sally not a part of the Beast.
Can the power of the Beast descend even lower than a large company? Can it exist in a small company of three employees? In a family? In a ball team? With your drinking buddies?
Can you see how the prophecy is fulfilled which says:
"And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship (kiss up to) him, whose names are not written in the book of life...: Rev 13:8
Yes my friends, we do not have to wait for a computer chip to be placed in our hands to receive the mark. The mark has been here for thousands of years.
"Either being slain you will attain to heavenly worlds, or by gaining victory you will enjoy the earth; therefore, O Arjuna, confident of success, rise up and fight."
