Mark of the Beast (666)
article from gotquestions.org

The main passage in the Bible that mentions the "mark of the beast" is Revelation 13:15-18. Other references can be found in Revelation 14:9,11; 15:2; 16:2; 19:20; 20:4. This mark acts as a "seal" for the followers of antichrist and the false prophet (the spokesperson for the antichrist). The false prophet (the second beast) is the one who causes people to take this mark. The mark is literally placed in the hand or forehead, and is not simply a card someone carries.

The recent breakthroughs in medical implant chip technologies have increased interest in the "mark of the beast" spoken of in Revelation chapter 13. Here are some very interesting articles on the recent technological developments:

Washington Post
Telegraph
MSNBC

It is likely that the technology we are seeing today represents the beginning stages of what may eventually be used as the "mark of the beast."

It is important for us to realize that a medical implant chip is not the mark of the beast. The mark of the beast will be something given only to those who worship the antichrist. Having a medical or financial microchip inserted into your right hand or forehead is not the mark of the beast. The mark of the beast will be an end times "mark" required by the antichrist to buy or sell and will be given only to those who worship the antichrist.

Many good expositors of Revelation have differed widely as to what exactly the mark of the beast is. Besides the "ID card" view, others have speculated that it is a microchip, a barcode that is tattooed into the skin, or simply a mark that identifies someone as being faithful to the antichrist's kingdom. This last view requires the least speculation, since it does not add any more information to what the Bible gives us. In other words, any of these things are possible, but at the same time they are all speculations, so we will just have to see how it turns out. We shouldn't spend a lot of time speculating on the details that go further than the Bible goes.

The meaning of 666 is a mystery as well. Recently, many people speculated that there was a connection to June 6, 2006—06/06/06. However, in Revelation chapter 13, the number 666 identifies a person, not a date. Revelation 13:18 tells us, "This calls for wisdom. If anyone has insight, let him calculate the number of the beast, for it is man's number. His number is 666." Somehow, the number 666 will identify the antichrist. For centuries Bible interpreters have been trying to identify certain individuals with 666. Nothing is conclusive. That is why Revelation 13:18 says the number requires wisdom. When the antichrist is revealed (2 Thessalonians 2:3-4), it will be clear who he is and how the number 666 identifies him.

Yeah, I don't agree at all with a computer chip being the mark of the best. I think it's more of a spiritual mark than a physical because I've read enough times in the OT in various places about a mark in the hand and between the eyes. For instance,
Deuteronomy 6:8 "And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes."

Plus, those who receive the mark are not saved and it looks like (from Rev. 14:9) worshipping the beast and getting a mark are coincided. A computer chip alone wouldn't have the power, nor would any physical mark. There has to be a conscious agreement with the antichrist and I believe those who have been given the mark of God (in Rev. 7:3) will never have to worry.

Revelation 7:3 "Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads."

I agree that the mark is a spiritual mark. The word “forehead/s” is mentioned eight times in The Revelation - four times referring to the ungodly (Rev 13:6, 14:9, 17:5, 20:4) and four times referring to the godly (Rev 7:3, 9:4, 14:1, 22:4). In neither case is it a literal mark in the flesh. Likewise, the mark in the hand is specifically stated to be the "right hand" which is a symbol in Scripture for power and authority.

Martin Luther identified the beast as the pope 500 years ago. That doesn't mean all popes are bad men, but it does mean that allegiance to a religious system rather than being born again by the Spirit of God, will lead you in the wrong direction. Half the world's 2 billion Christians are Catholic - the other half are protestant. The beast represents the Catholics, the image to the beast represents the Protestants.

I believe there are genuine Christians in all denominations, but trusting in your church will never save anyone. Only those who have genuinely accepted Jesus Christ as their personal Saviour will be saved.

I use to think the Mark would be physical but I don't really anymore. I've read about what the Seventh Day Adventists believe, and I think they are onto something with that. They think the Fourth Commandment is God's Seal. "I gave them my Sabbaths, to be a Sign between Me and them, that they might know that I am the Lord that Sanctify them." Ezekiel 20:12. But, you see we were given the Law to show that we were sinners, Paul latter tells us that if we obey one Law we have to obey all the Laws. There is no way we as humans can do this. That is why it is stated that in Christ the fullness of the Law is complete. This means that Christ paid the debt for our inability to follow the Law. And with many Christians it's hard to keep the Saturday Sabbath, the real one, Holy, like we should.

the mark of the beast is a beliefe or action eg forehead used in the Bible in the old testament to symbolise ones beliefe and the hand sybolises ones actions. therfore the mark of the beast will be given to all who believe or symply act in acordence with the antichrist. as far as 666 goes it would be interesting to note that one of the popes crowns or hats whatever you want to call it has inscribed on it "VICARIUS FILLII DEI" which in roman numerals = 666 notice also that this crown is the traditional crowns of Kings from babylon. and sits above the forehead on a man. the first and most important aspect of knowing what the mark is. is to know who or what the beast is only then can we find what t he mark is or will be. I havent used bible verses cause I don't have time right now. blessings

Hey all, I got this sent to me its a 10 min clip.
NORTH AMERICAN UNION & VCHIP TRUTH

I know we should use Godly discernment with looking into things,

Please watch video, i know it maybe alittle out there to some.
sending the link to chad first, for him to see.

Rev 13:16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: 13:17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

It talks about no man being able to buy or sell with out this mark, that in its self tells me that the mark is not spiritual. (but does have spiritual significance). as buying and selling is a physical action, the sales people would need to see some physical proof.

One world Government
Rev 13:7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.

Although i know i dont have to be scared, or that i may not know all the infomation on the subject i do know that what the bible has prophesied is coming about, and things like this video only confirm it (even though it is taken from a non-christian point of view.

Godbless

Ah, that makes a lot of sense! And I agree, but what about Rev 13:16-17 "And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name." ? There must be something else that will happen, it can't just be from the way the unbelievers act, though I have a feeling that is a big part of it.

The Pope also carries a Twisted Crucifix which is also a demonic tool, I don't think these things are coincidence.

Good morning Chad;

One of the mandates of President Bush (Jr) is that no one traveling into the USA by air will do so without a valid passport. Besides commerce, one benefit of either a tattoo or a chip is determining country of origin. And, robbing stores for money, identity theft, etc., would be minimized. It's the drive for security vice commerce which may push the issue.

Honest people do not need locks nor do they need policing or security agencies. Need to determine if the SSN you're using is your's? Let's scan your mark. No more NSF paperwork, no more identity theft. Just a belief that the system will work that is an alternative to God's ways. That's most important.

Cheers,
John

In reference to what you have said thanx to try to explaine the beliefe and action it will probably be as it has been in the past a law will be enacted that is a image to the first beast eg something which has their authority within the law. now in the past when the papacy did this those who followed this law would dobb on those who did not and then the punishment would happen. the chip and ident card is not the mark but it makes it very easy to cutt whoever they want from money etc. so its more like a tool in place to punish those who do not take the mark. once more the mark would be contrary to GOds law or teaching so we need to find something that is a mark of authority of the papacy which is contrary to GOds law and teaching. youll find that the papacy has been pushing for a cirten law for years now and its contrary to the law of GOd and once more it will seem a good thing at first even to christians who are not aware of the implications.

and about that cross that the pope caries around it is actually a witch symbol which means victory over Christ. hmmm blessings all oh yeah by the way I in no way think that catholics are evil or anything like that. I just have a problem with the organisation. agian blessings all.

After considerable searching, I have never been able to locate actual proof that the title of the pope, VICARIVS FILII DEI, is written on any crown (tiara) or mitre (bishop's hat). There have been a great many of each.

The title does add up to 666 in the only numeric letters that most people understand - Latin.

The title first appeared in a fraudulent document called The Donation of Constantine about 750AD. This was supposed to have been the giving of temporal power over areas of Italy (the papal states) by Emperor Constantine to the then Bishop of Rome (Pope Sylvester).

The DOC was used for hundreds of years to support territorial claims by the popes but was finally acknowledged as fraudulent in the early 17th century. This was about the same time that VICARIUS FILLI DEI was discovered to add up to 666. The title continued to be used in some Catholic publications until the early 20th century but is now repudiated by the RC church.
