Subject: What is the "Mark of the Beast"? |
Bible Note: What is the "Mark of the Beast"? 'This is one of the most difficult and obscure parts of the book of Revelation. It occurs seven times in the book from chapter 13 to the end. Modern Christians have tended to see this as some kind of future identification that Christians should avoid, like giving a person a number on his forehead or a microchip on his body. By requiring Christians to be marked, this would allow them to be controlled... 'Obviously, Christians would be concerned about anything that is used to "mark" them for persecution. But credit cards, microchips with health and employee information, and the internet are not anything Christians should avoid for fear of "the mark." 'Again, we should ask how the first readers of this book would look at this "mark," and then apply that to every other group of readers.'
