What do you believe the mark of the beast is?Not a good idea but not the mark of the beast
What do you believe the mark of the beast is?
One thing to keep in mind is that the Scriptures tell us that those who do not receive the mark of the beast will not be able to buy or sell (Rev. 13:17). Having said that, I believe the microchip, if not the mark of the beast, will still play a key role in controlling the masses and cutting people off from not being able to buy or sell.Not something yet revealed that is for sure. What does scripture say about the Mark of the Beast?
Revelation 13:16-17
Two things here disqualify the microchip, really three.
The Mark will be "put" on their right hand or FOREHEAD. I do not ever see anyone getting the microchip on or in their forehead.
Second is the Mark is the name of the beast or his number. The microchip makes for good conspiracy talk, but it is neither the name or number of the beast. Unless you know who the beast is and if you do then I would love to know too.
Thirdly, the Mark is meant to be a sign of beast worship. So again, unless we know who the beast is then we cannot know what the mark is.
Given what scripture states about the topic the mark cannot be a microchip. It may be a tattoo but I wouldn't put it past the idea to say the mark is a figurative symbol. It is not even the only visible "mark" spoken of in Revelation. For in Revelation 5:3 God "seals" his servants on the foreheads with a protective symbol. Even in Deuteronomy 11:18 we are tie as symbols God's word on our hands and forehead.
It all comes down to two things though just to reiterate. The microchip can't go on the forehead so that disqualifies it. The mark is meant as a symbol of worship to the beast and as such until we know who the beast is the microchip cannot be the mark.
One thing to keep in mind is that the Scriptures tell us that those who do not receive the mark of the beast will not be able to buy or sell (Rev. 13:17). Having said that, I believe the microchip, if not the mark of the beast, will still play a key role in controlling the masses and cutting people off from not being able to buy or sell.
It is possible sure but how likely?
Think of third world countries where they don't even have electronics. Are they all suddenly going to get microchips and have electronic devices capable of reading and transmitting data via a microchip? Doubt it.
If it is a tattoo that would be a very very easy thing to do worldwide which is what the mark will be, a worldwide thing.
As someone else already mentioned (and I alluded to) it is also very likely the mark will be an action or mentality that associates said person with the beast.
Let's all get microchipped so we can be controlled by nerds like Bill Gates cause that's trendy
