Page 64 - The Mark of the Beast

Your desire shall be for your husband,
And he shall rule over you."

Let us take each line of the above verse and look at them individually to see what they
signify. God said to Eve, “I will greatly multiply your sorrow and your conception.” Certainly
we know that this is true in the physical realm, for the woman has tremendous pain in the
process of child birth. We need to consider what this means spiritually as well. Yahweh was
declaring in the presence of the man and the woman that mankind would only be able to
give birth to godly offspring, offspring in the image and likeness of God by multiplying their
sorrow. God was not punishing the man and woman by multiplying their sorrow. God knew
that sorrow was the only way in which sinful man could be transformed from the beastly
image he had chosen, in order to be brought to a divine reflection of the perfected Christ.
The next line states, “In pain you shall bring forth children.” A woman is often
uncomfortable during her pregnancy, and she may experience backaches, nausea and other
discomforts which can be quite severe at times. But the greatest pain is in the birthing
process when she begins to experience contractions. The world has yet to see mankind come
to a fulness of the stature of Christ. They have seen only one Man who has yet been
perfected through suffering and who was the perfect image and likeness of God. Yet it is
God’s will that many sons should come forth after the image of Christ. The birthing of these
sons will be attended with great pain. Yahshua spoke of the days preceding the revealing of
these full stature sons of God in this way:

Matthew 24:4-13
And Yahshua answered and said to them, "See to it that no one misleads you. For
many will come in My name, saying, “I am the Christ,” and will mislead many. You
will be hearing of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not frightened, for those
things must take place, but that is not yet the end. For nation will rise against nation,
and kingdom against kingdom, and in various places there will be famines and
earthquakes. But all these things are merely the beginning of birth pangs.

Then they will deliver you to tribulation, and will kill you, and you will be hated by all
nations because of My name. At that time many will fall away and will betray one another
and hate one another. Many false prophets will arise and will mislead many. Because
lawlessness is increased, most people's love will grow cold. But the one who endures to the
end, he will be saved.
What Yahshua describes here to His disciples is very terrible and it speaks of great
sorrow and much pain. He uses once more the imagery of birth pangs for a reason. These
tribulations will precede the revealing of the full stature sons of God, and all those who
enter into this adoption as sons will have forgotten the things they suffered when they enter
into the glory of Christ. As Paul said, “For I consider that these present sufferings are not
worthy to be compared with the glory to be revealed in us.”
Saints, God’s desire, from the very creation of man in the Garden of Eden, has been
that man might bear His image and likeness. God will fulfill His desire, and the earth will
see these sons who will come forth after the image of God. They will share His glory and
manifest His image. They will be the spirit and image of God.
It is impossible for these sons to be revealed apart from suffering and pain. Mankind
must pass through the first things in order to attain to the high calling of God. As the words
