2 | Explain the mark in Rev 13 | Rev 13:15 | EdB | 128439 | ||
Oldeek First we are told in Rev 13:16 the mark will be on the right hand or forehead. Many have tried to figure out the mystery of the mark and most attempt to do it by assigning numerical values to the letters of the alphabet and then adding, multiplying, dividing or subtracting them to come up with their answer of 666. Some use our alphabet others us Latin, Greek or Hebrew. In any case I have heard every answer from Nero, through Hitler and Stalin to Nixon. Obviously we don't know the answer as to who it is. :-). As to the mark itself, with the willingness of our youth today to mark their bodies in most any way they can imagine and usually in imitation of something they have seen, I think it will start as seemingly harmless method of expressing admiration for someone or something. By saying that I don't think anyone will innocently allow themselves to be marked then find they sold their soul. I'm saying they will become so enamoured with someone or something they will be willing to worship it and want to mark their bodies. However as this practice increases anyone that is not marked will be looked as out of it, and later this will quickly move that people will nothing to do with you, followed it being a requirement and anyone without such a mark will then become hunted. Others feel it is our social security numbers or credit card numbers. And since there is talk to assigning a personal identification number to each person, people are once again sure this is the mark. As I said before I don’t think anyone will innocently take the mark and find they have sold their souls. Credit cards and all these other examples have valid alternative uses. I think when the mark in question is used it will be for one thing and one thing only to show worship, support and submission to the antichrist. In other words we are not going to be tricked into taking it and losing our souls unknowingly. EdB |
