Does this mean once the mark is placed on the lost that are work here will be done..? Will thay not be able to give there heart to the lord after this takes place...? Thanx
the Greek word for mark is "charagma" which means "to engrave, a scratch, etching, stamp" but some verses say in further on,
The number 666 indicates that the letters in the Greek form of the name of the Antichrist will add up to 666. There is a slim possibility that his name will equal 666 in the Hebrew language since the Antichrist will be Jewish. The numeric system does not work in English or in languages other than Greek or Hebrew, so it is useless to calculate the values of names in these modern languages.

A mark also is a spiritual brand. People are branded or etched or stamped by the denominational church that they attend. When someone tells me what church they attend, you can know what they believe to be true to them. Baptist's - once saved always saved, penecostal- women's long hair,dresses. Mormon's- they love their Temples and hold them as a great part in their worship and their prophet.. etc. Jesus should be first in our life

if the mark is only spiritual and not physical, how then do you relate it to buying and selling. its physical brethren. lets not put off the truth if we are to survive this plan of the devil. let God be true and every man a lire

My belief is the buying and selling is the buying and selling into the false church/doctrines that are in the world today. Many people today will take some of the scripture to suit the needs in their life, while leaving out scripture that they don't want to live by. Therby buying and selling of the Truth of God. We must take all of the truth and live by it daily.
The Left Behind Series
by Anonymous - 11/16/10 7:08 PM
No where does Lahaye/Jenkins say that their story is true. It is one possible way that Tribulation may look. The series did a lot for me in understanding prophecy. There was one character who was given the mark of the beast after he was drugged. He was ready to die for his faith, but was drugged and given the mark against his will. Did you read the book?
THE MARK OF THE BEAST IS DOCTRINES AND NAMES COME OUT OF HER MY PEOPLE DONT BE A PARTAKER OF HER SINS IF ANY MAN DO THE WILL OF GOD HE SHALL KNOW OF THE DOCTRINE

Amen. Ialso believe that it is the doctrines of men/ church doctrines.
The Bible- KJV talks about heaping to ourselves teachers having itching ears. There are so many churches with doctrines that are leading people away from Jesus. I believe many churches today are like business's, they have so much of the world in them. To draw people to their church. Recently a new church was built near my neighborhood. It has a coffee shop,library, gym all sorts of things to draw people in to fulfill the lusts of the flesh. I would like to remind people that in the Bible, it was the scribes,pharisees,the religous people that caused Jesus so much harm. I Timothy speaks strongly about the harm that " religious " churches draw people away from Jesus into lusts of the flesh.
mark in the head or in the hand

And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand,
I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years. Rev. 20:4
Also, refusing to take the mark means refusing to worship the beast or his image — and even though you will be beheaded — you will go into the millenium with the Lord Jesus Christ — "and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years." In other words — refuse the mark — take the beheading.

The Mark is Literal
by Gavril Michelle - 6/20/12 12:34 AM
We all need to be looking for the Holy Ghost to live through us, as for those who dont believe His sheep know His voice. You were called to be free, but do not use your freedom to indulge the sinful nature rather serve one another in love.
The mark of the beast is man and theirs no way man will stop you from God and His plan for you, You are not your own. Think of it like this Mary (the vergin mary) brought forth the sameseed we are to bring forth and greater.
The mark is symbolic. The hand is doing the work of God or the devil. The Forhead is haveing God in your heart(forhead, our love and thoughts are in our heads) or the devil. to not have the mark of god is to have the mark of the devil. but many will be deceived. it's not an actual mark. it's not going to be that easy.
and one more thing. God doesn't care about a microchip,tattoo,bumper sticker, whatever material anything. He cares only by whats in your heart (forhead) and by your works (hand). Love one another and do unto other as you would have done unto you. Love the Lord thy God with all thy Heart, Soul, and strength. Accept the Lord Jesus Christ as your personal saviour. and lastly Keep the Lords commandments. Then you are marked by God. No microchip or tattoo can remove that. promise ya.

Paraphrase: And he causes all both small and great to receive the work of the devil in their right hand or foreheads. And no man may buy or sell, except if he has the work of the devil, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
That doesn't make much sense. Physical manifestation naturally follows the spiritual so there's no reason a physical mark wouldn't be applied to a person who's mind is already against God. And a physical mark makes a lot of sense if worship is involved. Refusal of such a mark would not be easy if we take the word "all" literally.
666 and End of Days
by Bob Smith - 4/09/11 2:42 PM
In a book from old it has been written that a beast shall come more terrible than any that any could imagine. Foul and on fire. Symbols are written in plain sight for those who seek shall find. 666 is one symbol, but others are used to confuse those who find the truth. Beware of moonlight shadows and electronic communication.
We know that it is by an invocation that the name YHVH is attached to the son's of Israel. Num 6 We also know that Israel was commanded to seal the teaching as frontlets between the eyes and bound as a sign upon the arm. Deut 6 I would suggest that indeed this mark is a spiritual mark .
Once, WE who ARE the TRUE BODY of CHRIST meaning (ALL of WE who have TRULY RECEIVED, "GREATER IS HE THAT IS IN THEE, THEN HE THAT IS IN THE WORLD" and also "THAT HE IS IN WE AS WE ARE IN HIM"). It is then that as we begin to BEHAVE, SPEAK, THINK, LISTEN, AND FEEL as our MASTER AND LORD would have us, the VERY SPIRIT OF THE LIVING GOD(THE ONE AND ONLY)will be able to MANIFEST ABUNDANTLY through OUT OUR VESSELS. Complete surrender is needed on each INDIVIDUALS part. The very PRECIOUS GIFT OF FREE WILL HE SO RICHLY BLESSED US ALL with, is the very element that MANY use to exercise, or live according to their own self desires. I know this because I was one of those MANY that I am speaking of. The only power the enemy has over any of us, is the power we allow him to have. The enemy's soul purpose is to Steal, Kill, and Destroy. It is up to each individual soul to truly make up their mind, IN THE LAST HOUR OF TIME, to be DECIDED AND KNOW THAT YOU KNOW THAT YOU KNOW, THAT JESUS CHRIST IS OUR LORD AND SAVIOR! TO ... more...
There will likely be no outward appearance. But what you might see is people waving their hand over an electronic reader when checking out at the grocery store or going to the bank.
Technology today is obviously leading us to think that the mark will come in the form of a miro-chip. Especially with the aspect of buying and selling goods.
But I feel a very important aspect is being overlooked here. The whole context of the mark is to do with 'beast worship' and 'dragon worship' and idolatory. For this reason I would conclude that the mark will be something which can be seen as well as an invisible micro-chip. Buying and selling is just a by-product and part of the beast's system. But what he is really desirous for, is the worship which is rightly due only to The Lord God and His Messiah.
We know that the beast will sit openly on Zions holy mount, proclaiming himself as God. Then he will demand open worship. It is conceivable therefore,the mark will be seen openly along with a micro-chip.
God is not angry with technology, but He is furious about idolotry.

I have been told that microchips have a battery (lithium?) that when leaking produce sores (blisters?)on the skin
