Bible Question:
Why do some bibles have the verse in Revelations 13:16 as (to recieve a mark on his right hand or on his forehead) while other (to recieve a mark in his right hand and in his forehead)? Thanks |
Bible Answer: We looked at the passage in over twenty (20) translations and it always said the mark would be in one place or the other. We have not yet found one where it says the mark will be in both places. We would suppose that one saying so would be in error. But … It is evident that the location of the mark is not important. Also, from what follows, the mark and the name and the number are all the same. Interestingly, it is also apparent that even those who might have chosen to cut off their right hand (as in Matthew 5:30) would not escape the requirement. Isn’t that interesting? How much better to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ now and be included in the rapture! It will be a terrible time, and the beast will be a terrible creature! He will have power “to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations. And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world”. “If any man have an ear, let him hear”. |
