Answer 3

The Scripture merely states that it will be "received in the right hand or the forehead." As to whether or not it will be visible, I wouldn't think so. It would be rather garish, don't you think? The acceptance or refusal of the mark bears witness to people's desire to serve God or not; without it "no one can buy nor sell save he have the mark." It wouldn't have to be seen, the ones who refuse it will be ferreted out by their inability to survive economically. Read Revelation from Chapters 13-22. The events from the inception of the mark of the beast until the end of days is included there and should give some more insight. If you need any more help, I'll try my best! The mark itself is thought to be a prefix to a worldwide "social security number system" which will enable the Antichrist to weed out the believers in an effort to persecute and eradicate them. Example...if your SSN is 123-45-6789, in that day it might read when it's scanned 666-123-45-6789. This way, all of your transactions in life can be monitored and taken care of through electronic credit and debit without ever handling cash or securities of any kind! Ever wonder why the people cast their gold, pearls, money and such into the streets during that day? They've become WORTHLESS due to the fact that the new system will do everything electronically under the control of one man. And with the amount of information that can already be processed and transferred electronically, we are being well-conditioned!

Answer 4

The Number 666 is the number of the beast and its devices as well as the people belonging to it ,that's why they have the mark of the beast on their for heads, but the mark may not necessarily be that number and no they will not literally be able to see the mark but the mark maybe obvious in other ways!

Answer 5

The number of the beast is six hundred sixty six. Most likely the mark of the beast, will be a microchip that has the number 666 encoded in it. Its not literally going to be a stamp on someones head that says 666 but a chip that has the number encrypted in it when it is scanned. So its going to be inserted under their skin, undetectable with the human eye.

Answer 6

This requires documentation not only in the scriptures, but foretold by the scriptures.



Revelations17: "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."

Revelations 18: "Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six."



These describe both the number and how it affects us in our current situation, that "we may not buy or sell, save he that had...the number..." Consider the only number that applies today: the Social Security Number (in the U.S.-other nations have 9 digit numbers which have similar restrictions), the "number of a man."



At the time of the writing of the inspired Word of God, numerology was a commonly used practice. The way one finds the "power" of a number according to this practice is to add numbers until reaching a single number. For example 6+6+6=18. 1+8=9. There are 9 digits in the Social Security Number. One doesn't have to wonder if our time was revealed to a person living nearly 2000 years ago that they would use their understanding to describe what they saw. My belief is that this is an additional way to link 666 with the SSN, although I have no documentation to prove this point, although it does seem to fit with "Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast."



United States Code, Title 42 , Chapter 7, Subchapter IV, Part D, § 666, (13) Recording of social security numbers in certain family matters.— Procedures requiring that the social security number of—

(A) any applicant for a professional license, driver’s license, occupational license, recreational license, or marriage license be recorded on the application;

(B) any individual who is subject to a divorce decree, support order, or paternity determination or acknowledgment be placed in the records relating to the matter; and

(C) any individual who has died be placed in the records relating to the death and be recorded on the death certificate.



This establishes the Social Security Number as the number described in Revelations:17,18.



Revelations 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"



Below is a link to the company most likely to provide the mark and the way it will be put in the hand or forehead as foretold:

Answer 7

The Mark is a Stigma. Those having the seal of God, cannot be given the Mark of the Beast, The seal of God is the Holy Spirit. Ephesians 1:13 & 4:30

Hurt not the earth, Sea or trees till we have sealed the servants of God in their forehead . Revelations 7:3 (the seal is a private mark "Sphragizo" for security. ) Forehead ment opposite the countanance meaning not seen.

These will not accept the Mark of the Beast (Theron) because they will recognize it as Anti- Christ or Anti Anointed.not accepting the Holy Spirit. Hope this helps .

Answer 8

I will find scripture to show what I say here.



But for now.. The mark will NOT likely be the same as 666 as that would be a clue it's a bad thing. Yes people will be able to see it because those without it can be persecuted by anyone for not having it. You can't persecute for NOT having it unless you can actually see who does have it.



I am teaching an Eschatology class for the 3rd time this summer so this is all pretty fresh in my mind right now.

Answer 9

the mark of the beast ,or the number ,was already in the second world war ,the tattoo on the Jewish prisoners of war ,

which was in fact a number for the first big IBM computer ,in order to work out food ,working hours and life span of these people ,



today the mark of the beast is the implantable micro chip .

which works like a credit card ,when they abolish cash money ,only people with this micro chip will be able to buy or sell.and it can be implanted in the wrist or hand .or fore head.

Also produced by IBM



Thoth on his Emerald tablets ,mentions these already 36.000 years ago ,and so does the bible.



what is not so much known is that many people already have these chips implanted either voluntary ,as with many people in the services ,and the given reason is ,that it is for security.



or involuntary ,whilst they underwent surgery in hospital or when they were born ,with out the parents being aware of it ,And apparently this has already been going on since 1980.

and these chips can also be shot into ones neck and all that you feel will be a sting like from a mosquito.



further more apart from acting as a credit card ,these chips can be used to affect a persons mentality .making them happy.lethargic or angry,as well as being able to locate them anywhere on the planet and even direct sexual orientation .

it is said that it can kill as well



the control is via satalites with a giant transmittor called HAAARP.



all of this can be verified on the web.

Rev 13:18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.



(James Moffatt translation)

Now for the gift of interpretation. Let the discerning calculate the cipher of the Beast; it is the cipher of a man, and the figures are six hundred and sixty-six.



Six hundred threescore and six

G5516 χξς chi xi stigma khee xee stig'-ma

The 22nd, 14th and an obsolete letter (G4742 as a cross) of the Greek alphabet (intermediate between the 5th and 6th), used as numbers; denoting respectively 600, 60 and 6; 666 as a numeral: - six hundred threescore and six.

G4742 στίγμα stigma stig'-mah

From a primary word στίζω stizō (to “stick”, that is, prick); a mark incised or punched (for recognition of ownership), that is, (figuratively) scar of service: - mark.



Biblical significance of the number 6; WEAKNESS OF MAN - EVILS OF SATAN - MANIFESTATION OF SIN

Biblical significance of the number 666; THE NUMBER OF THE BEAST ANTI-CHRIST



TYPE OF BEAST

Goliath whom David slew (I Samuel 17), had the number of a man, 6, 6, and 6.

Items of Goliath, (1) helmet, (2) coat of mail, (3) greaves, (4) target, (5) spear, (6) shield

whose height was six cubits and a span

his spear's head weighed six hundred shekels of iron



TYPE OF IMAGE

Instruments, (1) cornet, (2) flute, (3) harp, (4) sackbut, (5) psaltery, (6) dulcimer

whose height was threescore cubits, or sixty

the breadth thereof six cubits



To further calculate the cipher 666 when Satan will think he is in full control.

Revelation 6:12 the sixth seal

Revelation 9:13 the sixth trump

Revelation 16:12 the sixth vial



On June 6 the U.S. Senate will vote on the Marriage Protection Amendment (MPA) which defines marriage as being only between one man and one woman. Because of a power grab by activist judges like the one in Georgia, the MPA is the only way that the sacred institution of marriage will remain between one man and one woman.

Answer 11

Mark of the beast is the same thing as what the people take.



Its most likely some visual thing since people can only buy and sell with it. Guess is that all will be able to see it.

Answer 12

People have been receiving the mark for over 1500 years.

the mark is both visible and invisible. It is the "sign" and visible mark of the cross received in the Catholic sacrements and also an invisible allegiance to the Papacy/Eucharist/Mary



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:



The sacramental "cross" is received on the forehead...and the "sign" of the cross that Catholics make, must always be done with the right hand.



Constantine's mother supposedly found the original cross and Constantine alledgedly converted to Christianity....both of which are false. Christ wasn't crucified on a cross and "Constantines letter" (the suposed proof presented by the papacy in the 7th century) was proven to be a forgery.



the cross has pagan origins all the way back to Babylonian Tammuz...who's symbol was the letter t. the cross was also used by pagans as a talisman to ward of evil spirits.



Well what symbol, icon, graven image should Christians use???

NONE

Act 17:29 Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man's device.



the pope and many others say that he is the head of the church....Christ is the head of the church

Eph 5:23 For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the savior of the body.



Col 1:18 And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.



Mat 24:15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)



Dan 12:11 And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days.



Heb 13:15 By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name.



the papacy takes the praise belonging to God by calling themselves "Holy Father" and "head of the Church" and "High priest" thus taking the sacrifice (praise) for themselves. Also

they stop the sacrifice by teaching penance (works) for sins

commited. this is heresy; because Christ paid the price once and for all. In the practice of the mass the priests claim to sacrifice Christ everytime the mass is performed in the euchurist.

Thus making the atoning one time sacrifice of Christ of none effect.

(Eph 2:8) For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

(Eph 2:9) Not of works, lest any man should boast.



Idolatry and promoting Mary to "the Queen of Heaven" as the popes call her is yet further example.

Answer 13

The mark of the beast has several meanings. 1. The crucifix. 2. Roman coins with the portrait of Augustus.

The cross was a signal for Jews to stay away from anyone who carried the "mark of the beast" (Roman coins with the portrait of Augustus on it) (the crucifix, which was like a reminder to show Romans that Jesus had died for them).Augustus was the God of the Romans and was a blasphemy against Yahweh.

Answer 14

You may find it interesting that before the ending verses of the gospel of Mark were added to the Bible, there were 666 verses in the gospel.



Then again, maybe you won't find it at all interesting.

Answer 15

REV.13:14-18 Explains about the mark of the beast.you have to read it and understand it for yourself.

Answer 16

we will not know until it happens. but let me ask you do you want the mark of the beast?

Answer 17

Read the whole bible study it and pray.

Ask for wisdom and understanding.

These answers you must find for yourself.

Revelations is a prophesy he is retelling a vision he saw.

This could be about the struggle in your own soul or in every soul..

Answer 23

Rev.13:18 "Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six."

It tells you exactly who the beast is: from the clues in the Bible.



(REV.13:18) on the Pope's Crown (tiara) are these letters: VICARIUS FILII DEI; what do they signify?

OUR SUNDAY VISITOR, (CATHOLIC WEEKLY) BUREAU OF INFORMATION," HUNTINGTON, IND., APRIL 18, 1915.

ROMAN NUMERALS FOR THESE LETTERS ARE: V=5; I=1; C=100; X=10; U=5; D=500; L=50 = THEY ADD UP TO 666.



*Now we have alot of information about the beast; to start out with; we should find out (2THESS.2:4) "who claims to be God" and is "worshipped"?

Let's see; this church (Rev.17:9)"sits on 7 hills" in Rome. It wears (REV.17:4)"purple and scarlet". It is a (REV.17:5)"mother church", so it has daughters or other churches following her. It will think (DAN.7:25)"to change times and laws." GENERAL CATHOLIC CATECHISM

It even has casted "all the truth to the ground" = Dan.8:12

"All the world has followed it" = Rev.13:12-15

*It had a(REV.13:1-3)deadly wound that was healed.

*Daniel 2:32,38; 7:4; 3:1 "Head of Gold" = Lion = Babylon = King Nebuchadnezzar

*Daniel 2:32: 7:5: 5:25-28; 6:28; 8:20 "Breast and Arms of Silver" = Bear = Medo-Persia = King Darius & Cyrus

*Daniel 2:32; 7:6: 8:21 "Belly and thighs of brass" = Leopard = Greece = Alexander the Great

*Daniel 2:33; 7:7,8,24,25: 8:9,12 "Legs of Iron" = Dreadful Beast = Rome

*Daniel 2:33 "Feet part of iron and part of clay" = Divided Empire



**Now the 10 horns represents kings or kingdoms and 1 comes up among the them and destroys (DANIEL 7:8,23,24)three. THE 10 HORNS ARE POLITICAL: ANGLO-SAXONS, FRANKS, ALAMMI, OSTROGOTHS, LOMBARD, SUEVI, BURGUNDIANS, VISIGOTHS, VANDALS, HERULI, AND THEN A LITTLE HORN COMES UPON THE SCENE THAT IS RELIGIOUS-POLITICAL THAT HAS DESTROYED THE HERULI, VANDALS AND OSTROGOTHS.

TO BE SUCH MEANS "AND THE BEAST WAS TAKEN, AND WITH HIM THE FALSE PROPHET THAT WROUGHT MIRACLES BEFORE HIM, WITH WHICH HE DECEIVED THEM THAT HAD RECEIVED THE MARK OF THE BEAST, AND THEM THAT WORSHIPPED HIS IMAGE. THESE BOTH WERE CAST ALIVE INTO A LAKE OF FIRE BURNING WITH BRIMSTONE."--REV.19:20



THE SYSTEM IS MADE UP OF:



TRUE CHRISTIANITY VS. FALSE CHRISTIANITY

FOLLOWING JESUS(COL.2:6) OR NOT FOLLOWING JESUS(PHIL.2:21).

THE CHOICE IS YOURS!

The Mark of the beast is 666! To accept the beast's mark is to not accept God's Holy Sabbath Day Saturday as Working on the Sabbath.



ACTUALLY THE MARK OF THE BEAST IS WHAT PEOPLE DON'T UNDERSTAND! IT'S VERY SIMPLE REALLY; YOU HAVE TO DO THE OPPOSITE OF IT.

THE OPPOSITE OF THE MARK IS THE "SEAL OF GOD" WHICH IS IN THE 4TH COMMANDMENT(EXOD.20:8-11; REV.14:7). NOW LOOK WHAT REV.7:2-3 SAYS "AND I SAW ANOTHER ANGEL ASCENDING FROM THE EAST, HAVING THE SEAL OF THE LIVING GOD: AND HE CRIED WITH A LOUD VOICE TO THE FOUR ANGELS, TO WHOM IT WAS GIVEN TO HURT THE EARTH AND THE SEA. SAYING, HURT NOT THE EARTH, NEITHER THE SEA, NOR THE TREES, TILL WE HAVE SEALED THE SERVANTS OF OUR GOD IN THEIR FOREHEADS."

SO IF YOU KEEP SATURDAY HOLY(JN.4:22-24) AND FOLLOW JESUS CHRIST FAITH; YOU WILL HAVE THE(REV.14:12) "SEAL OF GOD".

BUT IF YOU DON'T KEEP HIS DAY(MARK) AND FOLLOW THE CATHOLIC CHURCH(IMAGE); HE WILL GIVE YOU THIS(REV.14:9-11).

Evidence: (Catholics know when the seventh day is)

"1. Is Saturday the 7th day occording to the Bible & the 10 Commandments.

"I answer yes.

"2. Is Sunday the first day of the week & did the Church change the 7th day--Saturday---for Sunday, the 1st. day:

"I answer yes.

"3. Did Christ change the day

"I anser no! Faithfully yours,

"J. Card. Gibbons"

--Gibbon's Autograph letter.

"Ans.--Saturday is the Sabbath day.

"Ques.--Why do we observe Sunday instead of Saturday?

"Ans.--We observe Sunday instead of Saturday because the Catholic Church transferred the solemnity from Saturday to Sunday."--Peter Geiermann, The Convert's Catechism of Catholic Doctrine (1946 ed.), p.50. Geiermann received the "apostolic blessing" of Pope Pius x on his labors, Jan.25,1910.
