The most important issue that must be resolved in discovering the meaning of
Revelation 13 is which people are being discussed. If the wrong people are
associated with the prophecies of Revelation 13 its answer can never be found.The people being referred to in Revelation 13 are the Palestinians. Once
this is decided three questions have to be answered; why, how and who.

Why do the Palestinian people lack the ability to buy and sell?
Due to the Hamas takeover of the Palestinian Government, Western Aid was
discontinued.

How will the Palestinian people receive funds in order to buy and sell?
Through a program called the Temporary International Mechanism that
bypasses the Hamas controlled Palestinian Authority. This program was
established on Friday June 16, 2006.  This date 6/16/06 represents the day
that one man was allowed to administer a program that paid his people. This
is an amazing coincidence. There are only three days in ten years that end
with three sixes; June 6, June 16, and June 26.

Who will provide these salaries to the Palestinians?
Western Aid was resumed through the office of Mahmoud Abbas due to the
Temporary International Mechanism.

Also, what group will be prevented from getting money because they did not
receive the mark?
Hamas boycotted the Election of Mahmoud Abbas in January 2005; therefore
they did not receive the indelible ink mark to their right hands. All salaries are
being given to Fatah, the party of Mahmoud Abbas.  Hamas will not honor the
image of Mahmoud Abbas. The image of Mahmoud Abbas is required by the
international community to continue peace talks with Israel. This image is
three items that represent Abbas and his Government; the honoring of all prior
Palestinian agreements with Israel, the renunciation of terror as a means to
an end, and a two-state solution based on the 1967 borders prior to the six-day war.

Three items point to the Beast of Revelation 13: his mark, his number and his
name. WOEphraim
