The future Mark of the Beast - The buying and selling mark of the Antichrist
Sadly there are many Christians currently teaching that the future buying and selling mark of the Antichrist is not a literal mark. These erred Christians believe that this mark is only a spiritual mark. Do not believe these erred Christians, it will cost you everything someday if you do. Brothers and sisters this future mark will be literial as well as spiritual. It's not one or the other, but both. The Greek word for the word mark as used in Revelation 13:16-18 is the Greek word: charagma. It's usage means to mark by scratching or etching. This means we are talking about literal mark. When you read all of Revelation 13 you will notice as well that the Antichrist will eventually demand worship. The penalty for worshiping this future Antichrist is the same as taking the mark. It will bring God's wrath upon any person who takes it at the time of God's judgments.
Smart cards, National ID cards, biometric scans, eye scans are not the mark of the beast, unless this information is compiled and then applied to your right hand or forehead. If it's not applied to the right hand or forehead then it is not the mark of the beast. However, any technology or tattoo that is required to be put on, or in your right hand always reject. You will know when it's the mark, for you will be restricted from buying or selling unless you take it. It will also be required to be put on, or in the right hand or forehead. Never take this mark, I highly stress the word NEVER.

In Revelation 13:16-18 the scripture declares that those with wisdom and understanding to calculate the number and the name of the beast. The word calculate in the Koine Greek has multiple usage's in the Greek. The usage in this passage is the Greek word Psephizo. Here is that definition.
Psephizo {psay-fid'-zo} 5586;
Count, (to count with pebbles, to compute, calculate, reckon 2) to give one's vote by casting a pebble into the urn) to decide by voting.
Reference history concerning counting with pebbles.
The Greeks during the Bronze Age decided to use small rocks to count with, in addition to the finger method they were already utilizing. These pebbles would represent the real (or imaginary) objects they wished to count. To the ancient Greeks, it was obviously a lot simpler to count a hundred small pebbles rather than a hundred cows, for example. Sometimes, in order to make things a bit easier for themselves and to avoid the embarrassment of miscounting and having to start all over, they would arrange these pebbles in groups of 10, thus saving an incredible amount of time. As time passed on, this particular method of counting would gradually become more organized by arranging the pebbles in either horizontal or perpendicular lines. Those pebbles on the first line represented units, those on the second line the tens, and those on the third line hundreds, and so on. This is exactly how the abacus was created, and this method of counting was used quite extensively until the latter half of our century. The usage of Psephizo in Revelation 13 makes it perfectly clear we are to calculate and research this prophecy using mathematics while maintaining the scientific method during the research. When Jesus said in Matthew 10:30 that the very numbers of our head are all numbered, he meant it literally.
