About the Author
Ezra does not remember when he learns Revelation 14: 9-11; he must have learned it at a very early age. Giving himself to the knowledge of the word of truth he understood it is the duty of every person with reasoning power to understand the revelation of Christ as found in Revelation 1: 13 and 22:6,7.
He understands that every Christian denomination has their own interpretation of the prophecies of Daniel and of John in the Revelation. Therefore he gave himself to pray asking the Holy Spirit to teach him the word of truth and to reveal to him the prophecies concerning the end times. As he studied he found what he was learning was not quite in line with established doctrine and that frightened him. It was then the Holy Spirit impressed upon his mind and said, "Didn't you asked me to teach you?" Then he submits to the will of the Holy Spirit not fearing the repercussion that may come about by not falling in line with established doctrine.
Ezra believes before read this book, it is very important that time is taken out to pray, giving the Holy Spirit permission to work within and that the subject is not rejected simply on the basis that is not how the Church teaches it. Pray earnestly that the Holy Spirit gives an open mind to embrace truth even if positions have to shift. The children of God must not slight the prophecies of the end time.

The Mark of the Beast Revelation 13: Identifying the Beast with the Number and the Mark by Ezra Celestin offers a fresh interpretation and very interesting facts to corroborate the meaning of Saint John’s Mark of the Beast in the book of Revelation, one of the controversial books in the Bible and one that has suffered all forms of interpretations over the years. Contrary to the belief that the Mark of the Beast is a symbol of a future event, the author demonstrates, with ample argument, proof and data, that the Beast is a reality that impacts contemporary history, politics, and culture. In a lucid analysis, the author unveils the face of the Beast and indicates how every word in this prophecy points to the United States as the body of the Beast, and how other nations form parts of its symbolic body. It is curious and intriguing to note how the “coat of arms of the divided nations of Europe … the countries of the former Roman Empire” symbolizes the mark of the Beast.
Ezra Celestin shows great mastery of the scriptures and offers a comprehensive interpretation of Revelation 13, showing its link to passages from other compelling books like the book of Daniel. The writing is very accessible and its message comes across with stunning clarity to the average reader. The Mark of the Beast Revelation 13: Identifying the Beast with the Number and the Mark will shock many readers by the things it unveils. This is a book for open-minded people and you shouldn’t read this if you are not open to seeing the world the way it is: through the eyes of a prophet who saw it before it transformed into what it is today. In this slim but powerful book, the author makes readers understand that the scriptures are not words spoken for a future generation, but words that come alive in our own time, in our own generation. The book is highly informative, eye-opening, and entertaining.
