Hi CTD (((( Smiles )))

In expanding on what I posted above on the mark besides the buying and the selling aspect of the system it seems to go beyond that...
well more then seems too and includes Allegiance and Worship.
So as the Scriptures were written in Hebrew, Aramaic, Greek and the Bible has been translated from that language..
though also yet through the Latin and German route too.
So some things may not be translated in it's fullness or right even in the beloved King James which is still a good translation better then some of the others out there.
But this is the day and age that through the Messianc Jews and the orginal or literal translation we may find our roots and understand the scriptures even more better.
As in Zechariah 8:23 to take hold of the skirt of him that is a Jew and will seek his favor as we have heard that God is with you as thats where we find our salvation, Yeshua".
I think that more and more now we will find our roots.
And get closer and closer to that as now is the time.
So it's interesting to note that in Acts 20:7 there is an italicized word you will see it in the King James.
The orginal text reads, On motza el-shabbat, when the disciples came together to break bread.
So I looked into my King James and it says (Day) but in the Literal Translation side it says on the first of the Sabbaths.
On motza el-shabbat, when the disciples came together to break bread.. Upon the first (day) of the week ...
The actually meaning is " at the end of the Sabbath in the Jewish Bible.
Then there is the word "Zakar" the Hebrew word for "mark" used in the commandment to remember the Sabbath and keep it Holy.
Then Russ on this board posted something that was in the news about trying to make a law making Sunday worship the holy day law.
My eyes just widened because there are those that believe that when they make Sunday the Sabbath law that... that will be the Mark of the Beast.
Changing God's law's.
Then going on to find out through the Messianic Jewish Bible this change in there and that the word mark "Zakar" is associated with a commandment in Hebrew.
So the mark could go even futher then just one thing it could be a part of it all.
So if in the future the big switch as some call it comes as a law, then we will understand that they have a good point there.
Because it is in the Hebrew and in the Scriptures there are parallels and links of meaning and then here it comes.
And with any law persecution is not far behind remember Martin Luther but this is far worse.
Yet the first to be persecuted will be the observant Jews.
The Scriptures are very interesting indeed.
