Mark of beast a real sore spot--of leprosy

There are four times in the Bible where you find Scripture being written on both sides. In Exodus 32, it says, [15] And Moses turned, and went down from the mount, and the two tables of the testimony were in his hand: the tables were written on both their sides; on the one side and on the other were they written.

In Ezekiel 2, Ezekiel writes [9] And when I looked, behold, an hand was sent unto me; and, lo, a roll of a book was therein;
[10] And he spread it before me; and it was written within and without: and there was written therein lamentations, and mourning, and woe.

John testifies in Revelation 5:1, ‘[1] And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals.’

“When Christ opens that seven-sealed book written on both sides, out flows the wrath of God,” explains Jordan. “The seals, the trumpets and the vials; they all flow out of that book. He says, ‘I’ll bring forth,’ and the curse is going to go forth.

“If you look at the reference in Exodus 32, you’ll see God’s wrath flowing out there, too.

“In Zechariah 5:3, we know the roll was written on both sides because it says ‘for every one that stealeth shall be cut off as on this side according to it; and every one that sweareth shall be cut off as on that side according to it.’

“This vision of Zechariah’s is talking about the judgment to take place when the law, the covenant, has been broken. That curse goes forth and that wrath is laid out.

"In verse 4, he describes it in a way that reminds you of something in book of Leviticus. He writes, [4] I will bring it forth, saith the LORD of hosts, and it shall enter into the house of the thief, and into the house of him that sweareth falsely by my name: and it shall remain in the midst of his house, and shall consume it with the timber thereof and the stones thereof.

“This curse is going to be all-consuming consumption that destroys everything related to the satanic policy of evil of the Antichrist and all his associates. There’s a curse in your Bible that does that.

“Leviticus 13 and 14 deal with leprosy and leprosy in the Bible is a 'sign disease.' It’s a disease God uses as a sign of the corrupting power and the corrupting results of sin. In Exodus 4, Moses says, ‘How are they going to know you sent me?’ God told him, ‘I’ll give you two signs.’

"One of the signs was the sign of leprosy. Moses took his hand, put it in his robe, pulled it out and God made the hand leprosed. Then Moses put it back in and pulled it out and God healed it. It was a sign of healing, but the thing he healed was leprosy; the most deadly, most demonstrative disease because it literally causes flesh to die and corrupt.

“There’s no other disease that has two whole chapters dedicated to it in the Bible. Those chapters in Leviticus aren’t there because leprosy was such a consuming disease in that day.

“In the Mosaic Law, when He told Israel don’t eat pork and don’t eat lobster and catfish, there was no health benefit or problem related to any of that.

“Leviticus 22 tells us that God did that to make Israel look different. There’s not a verse that says He did it for any health reason. God told Adam and Eve to eat herbs. He told Noah for them to eat meat.

“People say, ‘Well, you weren’t made to eat meat so you shouldn’t eat meat.’ Well, if you shouldn’t eat meat God made a mistake telling Noah it was okay to do it. If God told Pete it’s okay to eat pork, then there’s no health problem in it, otherwise God was recommending something that was bad for him. He gave those dietary restrictions to make them separate.

“Leprosy wasn’t because everybody was getting leprosy; it was picked out because it’s a sign; something that carried a message. One of the interesting things about leprosy is that, if you look at Leviticus 14:34, it says, [34] When ye be come into the land of Canaan, which I give to you for a possession, and I put the plague of leprosy in a house of the land of your possession;

“In the first part of the chapter he said leprosy could get into people and they’re unclean when they have it. Notice from the verse that leprosy can not only be in people, it can be in the dwelling place; the house.

“Verse 44-45 says, [44] Then the priest shall come and look, and, behold, if the plague be spread in the house, it is a fretting leprosy in the house: it is unclean.
[45] And he shall break down the house, the stones of it, and the timber thereof, and all the morter of the house; and he shall carry them forth out of the city into an unclean place.

“The plague can spread out through the house and when the leprosy gets into the house because it came in with the people, it touches the stones, the timbers and even the mortar that holds the stones together. You get completely annihilated and that’s exactly what we’re reading about in Zechariah.

“Leviticus 13: 46-48 says, [46] All the days wherein the plague shall be in him he shall be defiled; he is unclean: he shall dwell alone; without the camp shall his habitation be.
[47] The garment also that the plague of leprosy is in, whether it be a woollen garment, or a linen garment;
[48] Whether it be in the warp, or woof; of linen, or of woollen; whether in a skin, or in any thing made of skin.

“Notice the leprosy even gets into the garment. This is a consuming stuff. Here’s how he’s going to describe it. Leviticus 13:2: [2] When a man shall have in the skin of his flesh a rising, a scab, or a bright spot, and it be in the skin of his flesh like the plague of leprosy; then he shall be brought unto Aaron the priest, or unto one of his sons the priests:

“Notice he describes leprosy as 'a bright spot.' Verse 42 says, [42] And if there be in the bald head, or bald forehead, a white reddish sore; it is a leprosy sprung up in his bald head, or his bald forehead.

“So you’ve got this white spot and it gets all festered and all red and infected and that’s how you identify leprosy.

“When that curse goes forth out of that book written on both sides in Revelation 5, and the seals go out and they’re open, then there's the trumpets and the vials come out in chapters 15 and 16.

Revelation 16:2 says, [2] And the first went, and poured out his vial upon the earth; and there fell a noisome and grievous sore upon the men which had the mark of the beast, and upon them which worshipped his image.

“Here’s God’s wrath being poured out. Here’s the curse going forth into the earth. The first went and poured out his vial upon the earth and there fell a noisome and grievous sore. You ever had a sore that was just boiling, running, wouldn’t quit? It’s nasty, grievous.

“Notice it’s ‘upon the men which had the mark of the beast, and upon them which worshipped his image.’ When they went out and got that mark of the beast, by the way, look at Revelation 13:2: [2] And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.

“Notice that when the Antichrist is described as an animal, he’s described as a leopard. He has the feet of a bear and the mouth of a lion, but he’s a leopard.

"You remember what Jeremiah 13 said about a leopard? Verse 23 reads, ‘Can the Ethiopian change his skin, or the leopard his spots? then may ye also do good, that are accustomed to do evil.’ You know how you identify a leopard? By his spots.

“If they get that mark of the beast, when the wrath of God comes out, for those birds that have that spot of the beast God puts a spot of leprosy on them.

“And it's in their garments. That’s why Jude 23 says, [23] And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.

“Listen, you’re talking about something where God’s literally going to consume people; consume the flesh off their body in judgment.

“The only thing they’ll be fit for is to be consumed; He’s talking about burning them up. Here’s the curse identified in Isaiah 5:24: [24] Therefore as the fire devoureth the stubble, and the flame consumeth the chaff, so their root shall be as rottenness, and their blossom shall go up as dust: because they have cast away the law of the LORD of hosts, and despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.

“It won’t go well for those who’ve cast aside God’s law. Jeremiah 5:14 says, [14] Wherefore thus saith the LORD God of hosts, Because ye speak this word, behold, I will make my words in thy mouth fire, and this people wood, and it shall devour them.

“You remember what John the Baptist said about the Lord Jesus? ‘[12] Whose fan is in his hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and gather his wheat into the garner; but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.

“That’s what God’s telling them. They may be God’s nation, they may be going back into the land and building that temple and rebuilding that city, but if they don’t go there in faith trusting in God’s Word, and they’re involved in that vain religious system, that curse is on them.

“So Israel’s in a position where they still have to deal with that 5th Course of Judgment. In Zechariah 2 it's called the ‘Holy Land’ and He’s going to consume all those unholy, defiled people out of the land. He’s going to fly that scroll across the sky, fly His Word out there, make it plain. This is the option they have. Then He’s going to separate the wheat from the tares.”
