Mention the mark of the beast today and instantly the majority of people will think of some sort of technological device like the RFID chip, or a 'techno' tattoo. And we are not only talking about professed Christians. Even non-believers instantly think of some device or physical mark that is placed upon us. So the whole world believes that one day soon we are going to have a physical mark enforced upon us which will be the prophesied mark of the beast foretold in the book of Revelation, chapter 13.

So what about us. Do we go along with this 'mainstream' view of the beast mark? I'm afraid not, and for VERY good reason. Which is why I have compiled a short list of reasons as to why the mark of the beast CANNOT be the RFID chip or any other technology device or physical mark. This is a very important issue we are dealing with here, as some of God's most dire wwarnings are associated with the mark of the beast.

Please carefully consider the following 7reasons as to why the mark of the beast cannot be the RFID chip or any physical mark.

1 - We have the Technology to NOT NEED any 'Chip'

Take a look at the below recent news item from England. It shows a superstore introducing a new payment system whereby people can simply scan their finger to pay for their goods. How? Because the technology is available to be able to simply scan your finger, or even your eye and match that with your bank payment system.

Superstore in London is world's first store to offer fingertip payments

Amazon tests tool that scans your hand to let you pay at Whole Foods

And this biometric technology is being pushed now in many places and we will see this being introduced more and more. Which means there is no need for any RFID chip to be planted inside us! Yes, some people are doing it, but you will not see this RFID thing go worldwide, when there is a more simple, cheaper option of scanning your finger, hand or eye.

Now ask yourself a question. If biometric system are put in place, which many countries are already ssetting up, then what becomes the mark if there is no microchip?

2 - The Word "Mark" Doesn't HAVE to Mean a Physical Mark

So many people look at that word "mark" in Revelation 13 and say ... "Well, the original greek for the word mark means an actual physical mark." ...And they would be right. The problem is, they forget that they are reading it in the book of Revelation. You know, that book which is FULL of symbolic language. For example. The beast of Revelation 13 and the whore riding a beast in Revelation 17. If you take a look at these in the original language, they too will be described as ACTUAL beasts and a whore. So if you apply that rule that the mark of the beast HAS to be physical mark because of the word, then you have to apply that rule to the rest of Revelation.

Now if you were to ask those people who support the theory of the mark being this RFID chip, or any other physical mark, if they believe we will be seeing ACTUAL beasts and a whore riding a beast forcing the world to worship them. I am sure that they would respond by saying ... "Don't be silly, that is SYMBOLIC language." ... And the same applies with the mark.

Friend, the mark of the beast does not HAVE to be a physical mark. And with the rest of the following reasons, I will show you why it CANNOT be this RFID chip or any other physical device.

3 - Where's the Deception?

Let me give you a few verses which tells us what Satan is going to do in the end times:
2 Thessalonians 2:9-11
Revelation 12:9
Revelation 13:14
Revelation 18:23
Revelation 19:20

Now have a REALLY good think about this for a moment. Not only does the vast majority of the professed Christians world believe that the mark of the beast will be a physical mark, like the RFID chip, or an ID card, or tattoo. Even the un-believing world has some 'knowledge' about the mark of the beast, which they relate to a physical mark like the RFID chip. So I ask you, and please think carefully about this .... where is the DECEPTION? Did you read the above verses from the Word of God concerning Satan's tactics? He is ALL about deception, and the final battle in these last days will contain Satan's greatest deceptions of all.

The RFID Chip is not a deception. But I tell you what is ... the WHOLE world is waiting for the RFID chip or some physical mark to be enforced. THAT is the deception!

The Mark is all to do With Worship

The many people who focus on the RFID chip or some other technology device being the mark of the beast tend to forget about the spiritual aspect of being a Christian. Does the Bible say we are warring against physical enemies? No, the Bible is very clear on what we are up against:

Ephesians 6:12

You see, our battle is not against the physical things of this world. Our battle is a SPIRITUAL one. Satan is not so much looking to gain control of our wallets. He us ultimately looking to gain control of our MINDS. He wants to drive a wedge between us and Christ Jesus. And how does he do that? By stopping us from giving TRUE worship to our Creator God. Look at the final warning to the world is in Revelation 13 and 14:

Revelation 13:4,8,11,-12,15.
Revelation 14:6-7,9-10

I think the mark is all to do with worship don't you? This is the final warning to the world, and it is a warning about worshipping the beast system and a call to TRUE WORSHIP. The three angels of Revelation 14 don't just say ... "DON'T TAKE THE MARK" ... They are telling us to remember our Creator and worship Him ONLY who created the heavens and the earth. They are pointing us back to creation and telling us to give our allegiance to the ONE true Creator God, Jehovah!

Now I ask you. How does getting a physical mark STOP us from giving TRUE worship to our Creator? It doesn't! Which is why the mark of the beast CANNOT be a physical mark.

Now some people claim that these RFID chips could be able to alter your mind and thoughts and in some way take control. But God would never allow this to happen on a mass scale, because He wouldn't allow our free choice to be taken away from us. If we are not able to make a free conscious decision with regards to our worship and allegiance, then the judgment of the mark would not be a fair one. The mark of the beast is all about a free conscious decision by each and every person as to who we give our allegiance and worship to.

5 - RFID Chip Can be Forced Upon Us

Let's look at the following scenarios:

Someone is taken into hospital for an operation and during the operation the doctors insert a RFID chip into the person. Now according to the many people who believe the RFID chip to be the mark of the beast, this person who went to hospital, NOW HAS THE MARK OF THE BEAST, and is going to be lost!

Another scenario: The military take control of a town and force their way into each and every home, injecting (somehow) an RFID chip into every person. There is nothing that the people can do. Some make a run for it, but are captured and forced to have this RFID chip. The same goes for any other physical mark. They can be forced upon us if the government decided, and there is little we could do about it, because as TRUE Christians, we should not fight back.

So is God going to reject people for having a physical mark forced upon them? No, not a chance! Because we serve a loving God who is fair and just in all His ways. And not only that, any one of us could have a physical mark forced upon us, but then we could continue to worship God in spirit and truth, which is what God is most interested in (John 4:24). Why would God be concerned about us having a physical mark like an RFID chip or ID card forced upon us? As long as we continue to serve God and keep His Commandments and worship Him in spirit and truth, then God is happy with us, no matter what kind of "marking" the government decide to place upon us.

Remember what the apostle Paul said in 1 Corinthians 8:4?
That food offered to idols is nothing to worry about for a strong Christian, because the idol is Nothing and we know there is only One God and it is Him we still worship. The same applies to a physical mark. It is NOTHING, and God is only concerned with our true WORSHIP of Him in spirit and truth.

The rest 6 and 7 point I write if it is not clear.
 
These are definitely interesting areas of study. They are always highly debatable, of course, because we can't all be 100% sure exactly what will happen in the end times. We do have plenty of general ideas and theories from what Revelation and other books tell us.

I suppose the main reason I wonder why this mark is physical is because of this verse:

Revelation 15-18 NIV:

The second beast was given power to give breath to the image of the first beast, so that the image could speak and cause all who refused to worship the image to be killed. 16 It also forced all people, great and small, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hands or on their foreheads, 17 so that they could not buy or sell unless they had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of its name.

18 This calls for wisdom. Let the person who has insight calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man. That number is 666.



It makes me curious about the term "on their right hands or on their foreheads", I suppose this gives the impression that it is something that we can physically see or notice - something we will know is there. I think the technology chip whether it be RFID or something else is convincing because some of them have had product names associated with the number "666." Is this what it really is? I can't be sure. I think in our mind and our soul that we will know when it's here and when it comes because I would think it would feel evil to us and we will recognize it as such.

Satan is not so much looking to gain control of our wallets.

Are we sure about that? I think Satan can use physical objects to yank us his way - let's say...money?

While yes, I agree the war we fight is a spiritual one, it doesn't mean that physical objects cannot be used. How common is it for the rich to become so secure in their money to provide for them instead of God? For that teenager to become self absorbed in driving that new car and taking care of it that it becomes their god? For that lonely, addicted mother to look forward to that bottle of beer in the fridge to soothe her emotional pain and blocking God out?

I have heard many times from people that have found recovered from substance abuse and found God in their life, "Satan gave me whatever I wanted. He gave me drugs, he always gave me a way to get them whether it was bad relationships or money. I realized he would have given me anything to keep me away from God."

If it's a distraction from God, Satan will surely use it to his advantage.

1 Timothy 6:10
For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.


The Greek word for "mark" used here is "charagma"

Biblical Definitions:

-a stamp, an imprinted mark

-of the mark stamped on the forehead or the right hand as the badge of the followers of the Antichrist

-the mark branded upon horses

-thing carved, sculpture, graven work

-of idolatrous images


This doesn't seem physically invisible to me. I found it interesting it says "badge of servitude" here. When I think badge, I think about a military or police uniform and how it's up front for everyone to see. A stamp isn't always invisible, either.

It comes from the same as "charax" - a scratch or etching into something.


Now I ask you. How does getting a physical mark STOP us from giving TRUE worship to our Creator?

This is a good question. If I were to write a smiley face on my forehead or hand, it wouldn't make me do something bad. You mentioned the importance of spiritual matters because this battle is definitely spiritual, too. Let me see, how to put these thoughts into words. Some things have a spirit about them. There are some symbols out there that represent a great evil that has been done - think those that we coin as "hate symbols". They have an evil about them. It's more than just the symbol, it's the action and intention that goes along with it. An upside down cross or a pentagram by itself are evil symbols and when they are used to act on that evil, it's a whole different level of bad. A physical mark can have a spiritual implication. If a physical symbol did nothing, then why aren't more Christians running around with upside down crosses or pentagrams? Because we can feel and understand that they are affiliated with an evil purpose and we know we aren't to even resemble that because we are God's children - in the light! We are not to be of the darkness. If we have a presence of evil that is on our bodies and lingers there, I have no doubt it would make things more complicated for us. For some of us that have felt "under attack" spiritually know that when this happens that even praying or picking up our Bible can feel almost painful and it's so strange, but it's a powerful attack from the enemy. Will we give in or not is the question.

So, could it be a physical mark that represents a great evil? A physical mark that is given by force? A mark that can be easily seen so that others know that they are not permitted to buy and sell? A mark that will easily and without question be seen in order to separate the sheep and the goats/wheat from the chaff? I don't see the literal sense of a "mark" being far from possible at all. Now whether it's something like an RFID chip, I can't say for sure. There are many theories, but I don't know if we will know for sure what exactly the mark is consisted of until that time presents itself.

Someone is taken into hospital for an operation and during the operation the doctors insert a RFID chip into the person. Now according to the many people who believe the RFID chip to be the mark of the beast, this person who went to hospital, NOW HAS THE MARK OF THE BEAST, and is going to be lost!

Would this actually happen? I don't know. If a person didn't have the mark then they wouldn't be able to buy or sell and I would assume that would mean no medical attention. So would a surgery happen for someone without the mark? Doubtful...unless it were like some thing with some date of effectiveness. You know how like they say as an example, "You must have blah by October 10, 2020./Goes into effect November 8th, 2020." If it were some type of deal like that I suppose it could be and it would be between that person and God.

Another scenario: The military take control of a town and force their way into each and every home, injecting (somehow) an RFID chip into every person. There is nothing that the people can do. Some make a run for it, but are captured and forced to have this RFID chip. The same goes for any other physical mark. They can be forced upon us if the government decided, and there is little we could do about it, because as TRUE Christians, we should not fight back.

If we are not to take that mark at any cost...wouldn't we defend ourselves? I mean, for many, it would be difficult to overpower military or people with certain equipment whether it be weapons, sedatives, etc. to make you comply. Maybe people will be attempting to remove these devices if they got it by force? Although, I guess if we follow more conspiracies that they contain cyanide or some poison if tampered with or released at government will then that may not be an option. It begs more interesting questions.

The Bible verse about the mark seems pretty clear that this will be "forced" and is a warning not to take it. Maybe God will also protect those who are all for Him against that mark, too? Divine intervention is a thing. If I recognized something as the mark, I am sure I would be fighting with all of my being to avoid it.

The Bible mentions that we respect authority, but at what point? If they are telling us to do something illegal, should we comply? I think God's laws trump man's. While it is good to follow laws and respect authorities that have good purpose (stopping at a stop sign, not stealing someone's identity), if I was asked by authorities to murder others, cheat others out of their money, etc. - I could not.

I have no doubt that God will judge everyone righteously. He knows all of us and knows our hearts, souls, and minds.

Doesn't mean the mark can't be physical with a spiritual significance. It can definitely be both!

Many physical things in the Bible had spiritual importance - think of doves as a symbolism of peace and purity. The Ark of the Covenant, the majority could not even look at it or touch it, God had a heavy spiritual influence on that physical object. The bronze serpent that healed those who looked at it after being bitten by a venomous snake - that bronze serpent must've held a lot of God's healing power. We are physical beings with a soul, which makes us spiritual. We are shown a connection with physical objects with spiritual significance again and again throughout the Bible. The idea that something can be both isn't impossible.

I will finished it then you can have a better view. Remember always that our battles is not against flesh and blood. Ephesians 6:10-18
 
Well, the original word was not a mark. It was "stigma" which means to stick into. And the mark really has nothing to do with worship. Scripture says it is used for buying and selling. In other words you won't be able to buy and sell without it. That's biblical.
Lastly, the whore that sits upon the beast is a city that sits on seven hills. (Jerusalem) and it is her who God gives the cup of His wrath to to drink for worshiping the beast and its image and receiving it mark.
This is not a worldwide event. Like 99 percent of the Bible, this also is about Israel.
 
Mention the mark of the beast today and instantly the majority of people will think of some sort of technological device like the RFID chip, or a 'techno' tattoo. And we are not only talking about professed Christians. Even non-believers instantly think of some device or physical mark that is placed upon us. So the whole world believes that one day soon we are going to have a physical mark enforced upon us which will be the prophesied mark of the beast foretold in the book of Revelation, chapter 13.

So what about us. Do we go along with this 'mainstream' view of the beast mark? I'm afraid not, and for VERY good reason. Which is why I have compiled a short list of reasons as to why the mark of the beast CANNOT be the RFID chip or any other technology device or physical mark.

I am sure that they would respond by saying ... "Don't be silly, that is SYMBOLIC language." ... And the same applies with the mark.

Friend, the mark of the beast does not HAVE to be a physical mark. And with the rest of the following reasons, I will show you why it CANNOT be this RFID chip or any other physical device.

3 - Where's the Deception?

Let me give you a few verses which tells us what Satan is going to do in the end times:
2 Thessalonians 2:9-11
Revelation 12:9
Revelation 13:14
Revelation 18:23
Revelation 19:20

Now have a REALLY good think about this for a moment. Not only does the vast majority of the professed Christians world believe that the mark of the beast will be a physical mark, like the RFID chip, or an ID card, or tattoo. Even the un-believing world has some 'knowledge' about the mark of the beast, which they relate to a physical mark like the RFID chip. So I ask you, and please think carefully about this .... where is the DECEPTION? Did you read the above verses from the Word of God concerning Satan's tactics? He is ALL about deception, and the final battle in these last days will contain Satan's greatest deceptions of all.

The RFID Chip is not a deception. But I tell you what is ... the WHOLE world is waiting for the RFID chip or some physical mark to be enforced. THAT is the deception!

The Mark is all to do With Worship

The many people who focus on the RFID chip or some other technology device being the mark of the beast tend to forget about the spiritual aspect of being a Christian. Does the Bible say we are warring against physical enemies? No, the Bible is very clear on what we are up against:

Ephesians 6:12

He us ultimately looking to gain control of our MINDS. He wants to drive a wedge between us and Christ Jesus. And how does he do that? By stopping us from giving TRUE worship to our Creator God. Look at the final warning to the world is in Revelation 13 and 14:

Revelation 13:4,8,11,-12,15.
Revelation 14:6-7,9-10

I think the mark is all to do with worship don't you? This is the final warning to the world, and it is a warning about worshipping the beast system and a call to TRUE WORSHIP. The three angels of Revelation 14 don't just say ... "DON'T TAKE THE MARK" ... They are telling us to remember our Creator and worship Him ONLY who created the heavens and the earth. They are pointing us back to creation and telling us to give our allegiance to the ONE true Creator God, Jehovah!

Now I ask you. How does getting a physical mark STOP us from giving TRUE worship to our Creator? It doesn't! Which is why the mark of the beast CANNOT be a physical mark.

Now some people claim that these RFID chips could be able to alter your mind and thoughts and in some way take control. But God would never allow this to happen on a mass scale, because He wouldn't allow our free choice to be taken away from us. If we are not able to make a free conscious decision with regards to our worship and allegiance, then the judgment of the mark would not be a fair one. The mark of the beast is all about a free conscious decision by each and every person as to who we give our allegiance and worship to.

5 - RFID Chip Can be Forced Upon Us

Let's look at the following scenarios:

Someone is taken into hospital for an operation and during the operation the doctors insert a RFID chip into the person. Now according to the many people who believe the RFID chip to be the mark of the beast, this person who went to hospital, NOW HAS THE MARK OF THE BEAST, and is going to be lost!

Another scenario: The military take control of a town and force their way into each and every home, injecting (somehow) an RFID chip into every person. There is nothing that the people can do. Some make a run for it, but are captured and forced to have this RFID chip. The same goes for any other physical mark. They can be forced upon us if the government decided, and there is little we could do about it, because as TRUE Christians, we should not fight back.

So is God going to reject people for having a physical mark forced upon them? No, not a chance! Because we serve a loving God who is fair and just in all His ways. And not only that, any one of us could have a physical mark forced upon us, but then we could continue to worship God in spirit and truth, which is what God is most interested in (John 4:24). Why would God be concerned about us having a physical mark like an RFID chip or ID card forced upon us? As long as we continue to serve God and keep His Commandments and worship Him in spirit and truth, then God is happy with us, no matter what kind of "marking" the government decide to place upon us.

Remember what the apostle Paul said in 1 Corinthians 8:4?
That food offered to idols is nothing to worry about for a strong Christian, because the idol is Nothing and we know there is only One God and it is Him we still worship. The same applies to a physical mark. It is NOTHING, and God is only concerned with our true WORSHIP of Him in spirit and truth.

6 - The Mark, OR the Name OR the Number of the Beast

Revelation 13:17

This verse shows us that this issue is FAR deeper than a mere physical mark like a RFID chip or ID card. Many people place all their focus upon this RFID chip or some other technology device. And yet Revelation 13 reveals there is more to this than just the "mark". I am showing here that ANY affiliation with the beast, Any kind of support or agreement we make with the beast, apart from the "mark" will see us condemned!

Do you see this? There will be many people who don't take the actual mark of the beast and yet they will be lost. Because they will in some way still be on the wrong side. In the last days, there will be only two groups of people. Those who are for Christ Jesus and those who are for the beast and Satan. Now if you are not on the side of Christ, then you are automatically placed on the side of the beast and Satan, and you will be lost. Even if you don't take the mark of the beast.

For instance, what would you have if you had the 'name of the beast'? Well, let's use the Bible to interpret. In Exodus 34:5-7 we see that God descended down to Moses on the mount and 'proclaimed the NAME of the Lord'.
Exodus 34:5-7

Do you see what 'NAME' God proclaimed to Moses? He proclaimed His CHARACTER! So it will be with the beast. Those in the last days who have the 'name of the beast' will have the CHARACTER of the beast.

1 - We have the Technology to NOT NEED any 'Chip'
If their not pushing the chip then fine
2 - The Word "Mark" Doesn't HAVE to Mean a Physical Mark
It might be. It might not be
3 - Where's the Deception?
If this all just a cover to vaccinate and tag everyone then i would definitely consider that to be a massive deception
4 - The Mark is all to do With Worship
5 - RFID Chip Can be Forced Upon Us
Reading chapters 13 and 14 carefully this is what i get... The mark will be forced on people as it says in 13:16
Then in 14:9-11 it becomes difficult to interpret

“If anyone worships the beast and its image and receives its mark on their forehead or on their hand, 10 they, too, will drink the wine of God’s fury, which has been poured full strength into the cup of his wrath. They will be tormented with burning sulfur in the presence of the holy angels and of the Lamb. 11 And the smoke of their torment will rise for ever and ever. There will be no rest day or night for those who worship the beast and its image, or for anyone who receives the mark of its name.” (NIV)

Is it and or is or? If its or then the mark is enough to send u to hell.
If its and then only the people who worship the beast will be damned...

Now... If you look at different bible versions you will see that the or is sometimes an and.
So... While it seems more likely that only the people who worship the beast will be damned it certainly doesn't rule out the mark being a critical factor either...
So i think its best to be save an avoid anything tat resembles the mark.

Its also worth mentioning that the mark only takes place once the beast has taken rule of every country on earth...

The beast doesn't take rule of every country in the world. The beast is a kingdom which has been devided. There are ten kings (horns) that are mostly alike and one little kingdom(horn). It does not involve the entire world. The word earth(ghay) in Revelation can mean a country or kingdom and according to Daniel that is exactly what it means.
While most Christians like yourself preach the mark of the beast will be worldwide and causeany to believe it, theark will only be disputed to a specific group of people in one location known as Babylon.


When God remembers to give this cup of His wrath to those who have taken the mark, he gives it to Babylon.

This is talking about Jerusalem and her children who are in bondage.
Those who come out of Babylon, who do not worship the beast or his image are Israel.

This is not a worldwide event. As with most scripture, this too is about Israel and the surrounding countries. Keep one thing in mind.About 2000 years ago the king of Israel rode into Jerusalem upon an ass. It wasn't Benjamin Netanyahu,so who does Netanyahu think he is sitting in Jesus's seat?

And it was given authority over every tribe, people, language and nation. All inhabitants of the earth will worship the beast - Revelation 13:7-8

You just described Babylon which is a city of immigrants.


Did you know if you walk down the streets of the great city, you could hear ten different languages being spoken in a single day. It's people came from all over the world to live there. But as I've already concluded, Babylon is the only place mentioned in the Bible to recieve God's wrath which is given to those who recieved the mark of the beast.


I don't live in the great city and I'm not of its people.I dont live in that country.
Like I said, I used to worry about it till I learned more about it. After I learned what the beast is and where it is, I need not worry about it any longer.
