NASB | Revelation 20:4 ¶ Then I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was given to them. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony of Jesus and because of the word of God, and those who had not worshiped the beast or his image, and had not received the mark on their forehead and on their hand; and they came to life and reigned with Christ for a thousand years. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Revelation 20:4 ¶ And then I saw thrones, and sitting on them were those to whom judgment [that is, the authority to act as judges] was given. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony of Jesus and because of the word of God, and those who had refused to worship the beast or his image, and had not accepted his mark on their forehead and on their hand; and they came to life and reigned with Christ for a thousand years. [Dan 7:9, 22, 27] |
Bible Question:
RFID Tags Confirmed Down Under www.endtime.com RFID MEANS Radio Frequency IDentification After the alarm was sounded that RFID chips were being tested in Gillette razors in the United States, the company retreated. But it appears that they have merely transferred their spy chip testing to elsewhere--down under with Australia's largest retailer, Coles Myer. Is this the technology that will become the Mark of the Beast? And if so, how long will it be before it becomes a part of our society’s daily life? Testing and trial runs are the precursors to a chipped population, a population that will be unable to buy or sell without giving allegiance to the coming One-World Government. |
Bible Answer: Timothy Paul in post # 65746 states: "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" As I consider the passages concerning the "mark" I am wondering if perhaps we are taking this far too literally. The forehead might sugest our thinking process - what takes priority in our minds is most often what we set our hands to do! Frankly, I think the magnetic stip on our credit cards poses a threat to our personal privacy as much as anything else these days! And what about the implanted chips that people are using to store medical or other personal information? Just like dogs, we will be able to identify and track all human beings within a short while - indeed it is a new world - one that is not brave at all. mommapbs |
