Bible Question:
COULD YOU EXPLAIN REV 13 VERSE15-18 HOW WOULD I KNOW WHAT THE MARK OF THE BEAST LOOK LIKE |
Bible Answer: It is probable that the mark, the name, and the number of the beast, may all signify the same thing, which is receiving the mark in their forehead, and that they oblige themselves to the enemy's authority, which means receiving the mark in their right hands. (This, I have paraphrased from Matthew Henry's Commentary) Jesus points us in the right direction as He explains in Matt24: 11-13 11)And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. 12) And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. 13)But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. My advice is to not spend time wondering what the mark may look like, but spend sincere effort in avoiding having the mark affixed to your own flesh, and this can be done only, in my view, by trusting in Jesus as He promises to protect us |
