I keep having dreams about mark of the beast?

[HawkBlue27]

I don't think dreams mean anything (Jeremiah 23:25-26). But a couple of times in the last month or so, I've been having bad dreams about taking the mark of the beast and they're really freaking me out and making me think I took the mark of the beast or something. Not to mention I mention I once befriended someone whose facebook page had that number on it.
I believe Christ died for my sins and I want to follow Him so I consider myself a believer. Even though I try to tell myself those thoughts I've had mean nothing, I can't stop thinking about it and now I feel like my faith is all in vain.

The Bible says it's a number someone takes on their forehead or hand and that's not something I've done (or plan on doing) but I keep thinking it's too late now.

What can I do?

Stop thinking all these questions about it during your waking hours and it's likely that you won't be dreaming about the matter either.

I've tried not thinking about it but all of a sudden I am freaking out over this.

This is just Satan trying to scare you. Reject it. Thank God daily for what he has done for you instead.

 

[vespasia]

Numbers are simply not worth losing sleep over.

It is far better to ask God to help you know that your name is known and you are engraved into the very palms of Gods hands.

May the God who holds you close to Gods heart in compassion grant you Gods peace in Christ's name.

I have read Revelation so I know it says it's something that goes in someone's forehead or their hand but this is driving me crazy now. I keep thinking if I had this dream or I clicked to friend someone on FB but I noticed they had that number on their website and now I am trying to figure out if I did something bad or not and feel like I'm not saved or something even though I am a believer. Or at least consider myself so.

Accepting it will be an obvious, overt act of idolatry - like the required sacrifices to the Emperor back when the Romans were still persecuting the Christians. Being as we don't have a global or national authority demanding that you worship an idol or political figure, you're fine.

Are you someone who struggles with OCD?
I know there are many on here who do.

I have considered it, but I've never been diagnosed officially. I know about scrupulosity though. I once saw a psychologist when I was younger but I don't think it helped much. All he did was make me play board games with him...

What can I do?

You can start to realize that you have not done that. Not feeling that God is saving you, there for you, in your corner, is common because God, your God values faith, for some reason, over fact. It pleases Him mightly in fact.

Imagine for instance my life, I know that God is Real. I don't have to believe in That, I know it.
Imagine for instance my life, then look at yours for similarities. I don't have to believe the Bible is Real/True, I know it is.
That should be great right? That should never change, right? But, what did God say to us about faith? What did He tell us, using the example of Abraham?
I loved for awhile not needing faith and having fact instead. Slowly. Slowly it started to bother me. One day (Sorry,,, Christian Mystic here.), God, your God and mine changed all that. He gave me one item to believe for all eternity, if I can, and that item is given to me only in faith.
That item, some of the time, causes me to think exactly like you. Exactly. Each time that happens to me, slowly it changes and slowly I realize, why I should and really have to believe that item in faith only.

It seems like the fear resides in you during both waking and sleeping. The Mark scenario shows a situation of powerlessness, inevitable takeover of decision-making abilities. Something too big to challenge or change.

Most people dread losing control, so this worry could carry over into all aspects of life. It can be helpful to read and practice things related to spiritual authority. God is bigger than any human threats, and you are in Him.

He is the vine, we are the branches. We are not just accepted by Him, but grafted right in and sharing the same sap and lifeblood.

 

[parsley]

BTW, recent research on the mark ties it in with transhumanism, where people want to change their DNA, electromagnetism, brain, floating nanoparticles, or other features to take on additional powers like longer life or greater resistance to disease.

Speculation (I think Marzulli included, above) shows it might change humans so much that they are no longer human, therefore unable to fit into the salvation plan. Giving up the soul.

The decision might be not so much a sin, as a choice to become something different.

The mark is that which you cannot refuse, in sin.

If you are struggling with this, it is because you are struggling with sin for sin's sake.

Sin for sin's sake never comes to the whole world, precisely because the Holy Spirit convicts it (of sin).

666 is just a number; it is a way to recognize the beast of Revelations that no one today fully understands; the number itself is not evil - the beast it somehow points to is. when the beast does come, you won't need a number to recognize his godlessness...

if you look closely at what happens to the lost in Revelations that receive the mark of the beast, you'll see that there is zero indication that they regretted it or had any desire to repent - so from their biblical example, since you don't want that mark, you have not received it.

Thank you for explaining it. Sometimes when I worry about something related to God or spiritual things I often forget everything I read in the Bible in that moments so I need a reminder.

actually, you've got it backwards - when we forget what God has said, the result is worry

Hi, this thread is really OLD, but I am reviving it for the sake of my recent dream's interpretation
I believe in Jesus Christ as the son of God and redeemer. My faith is very strong!! I have delved in other 'false' religions and by trial and error I have LEARN my lesson. Jesus is our true God!!! I still sin everynow and then but I pray and repent

I am a computer programmer and honestly think that in the future of mankind crypto currencies will play a central role. Considering this, and my strong desires to be able to retire early, I decided to invest 2000 USD in crypto currencies. All went smooth and I was considering to make a 2nd investment, this time for 3000 USD. Then, while considering the ins and outs of this new investment, I had a weird dream ...

In this dream I was talking to 3 guys in a place that looked like the UK, maybe Wales. These guys were very knowledgeable about crypto trading and the such. Then, after a while, we found ourselves outside the house, and there is this woman, dressed in sackcloth with her head covered completely, similar to a Niqāb but also in sackcloth. She seemed to be looking for someone, passed the 3 guys and almost passed me but all of the sudden, turns to me, remove her head cover and bam ... she stamped my forehead with a stamp without giving me any possibility to retreat and said "this is the mark of the beast"

I was speechless, angry, sad, you name it; and went after her for an explanation. I was able to cut her exit line and asked her why she had done that. And she answered, 'because Jesus sent me'. I did not know how to take that in the dream; it made no sense and the only thing that came to my mind was to curse her in the name of Jesus
... then I woke up really frightened. This happened about a week ago and I am really worried about this dream.
I don't understand it; since to me it would not make any sense for Jesus to send this mark though this woman; I think that this is something given by the beast and has to be accepted voluntarily

what is your perspective?

PS: I have a history of having very strong and vivid spiritual dreams in the past; but never something so terrible as this ... I have no idea what to do

Thank you for explaining it. Sometimes when I worry about something related to God or spiritual things I often forget everything I read in the Bible in that moments so I need a reminder.

Here is a more up to date understanding of what the mark of the beast is, which you might consider. If you feel the research and reasoning, historically and Biblically, are good, (I do) it will help you realize you have no way taken the mark of the beast.

I have prayed for your peace and that you never do take the mark of the beast. A beast in the bible is a kingdom btw.

(If anyone wants to argue about this, sorry, this is not a debate forum. It's up to the OP to make up his own mind.)

Have you heard or read that the bitcoins are directly the next step to the mark of the beast so anyone who uses them is gonna get marked?

I just used the search engine to find out, the results is that certain people are saying that very thing.

So I'd say that your dream is reminding you of what you heard or read. Don't let it unbalance you concerning your faith in God.

Those people who are claiming that about the bitcoins have absolutely no real evidence whatsoever.

They said that the social security cards was the mark of the beast.
Then they said that the id chips are the mark of the beast.
Now they say that the bitcoin is the mark of the beast.

They can't all be the mark of the beast.... Obviously they have no idea.

Such things that only cause fear about something that is how-ever-many-years into the future.. doesn't bring peace in anyone's lives now.

Jesus said don't worry about tomorrow for sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof. That means, Don't bring tomorrow into your now. Make every day full of rejoicing in the Lord.

It's best to not pay any attention to the conspiracy theorist alarmists who don't care if what they say frightens you. Their feet are not shod with the gospel of peace.
