Runner, the reason people interpret it other than a literal interpretation is basically for two reasons.

One, they have no knowledge that God built four natural laws/hermeneutics into Apocalyptic Prophecy. Therefore, to interpret them correctly ones must apply them correctly. Just like solving any math problem one must apply certain laws in order to solve the problem correctly.

Two, Without using any proven hermeneutics, expositors treat prophecy like a nose of wax to make it fit their personal bias, instead of letting the prophecies speak for themselves. These interpretations are classified as private interpretations. Hundreds of them out there.

I would encourage you to consider a deeper study of end time events. The plans God has predetermined for gathering in the greatest harvest of saints of all times is just ahead of us, and you and I could be participants. God has given us the details, and those who wish to know must make the effort in understanding His prophecies. An amazing study.

My I suggest, you read a thread of mine, entitled, "Why the Experts Disagree" In it the four hermeneutics I mentioned earlier are explained. If that makes sense to you, and your interested in learning more. Let me know and I will suggest to you what I think is the best commentary on prophecy for understand closing events. The book is free to read online.
As I said someplace (perhaps not this thread) I've been listening to "Understanding the Times," hosted by Jan Markell of Olive Tree Ministries, for an hour every Saturday for years (https://olivetreeviews.org/). Jan and her guests are 100% focused on the End Times. I've also read extensive scholarly materials relating to the interpretation of Revelation. Titles like Four Views On the Book of Revelation are very helpful in understanding the different approaches Christians take: https://www.amazon.com/Four-Views-B...ocphy=9030318&hvtargid=pla-504399682767&psc=1.

To be honest, Revelation plays little role in my theology and I'm just not into End Times speculation beyond the clues Jesus gives in Matthew 24. The handwriting is pretty clearly on the wall, but I'm just not into trying to "figure it all out" at the level of people like Jan Markell.
 
That’s true regarding the head and the hand.... but if your ideas require you to dismiss even “one verse” then you should be willing to re-examine your beliefs. Yet Runner wasn’t referencing “one verse” as a sticking point. He was asking if there was any evidence (that you know of) that would be indicative of first century people requiring a mark in order to buy and sell- to give credence to the preterist claim that the whole of Revelation was fulfilled in those days.

For example if someone was to claim that the faithful needed a mark to avoid death and destruction at the time of the Exodus, we could show that it wasn’t simply symbolic or metaphor or ‘spiritual’ in nature, but that there was a physical equivalent— that being the lamb’s blood on the lintel and doorposts.... scripture affirms.
You are mistaken, I didn’t dismiss a verse. I don’t know the particulars. Do you know the particulars of every prophesy?

And yes I have found a decry by Nero that limited buying and selling to those who worshipped him. It’s not confirmed but it is a report. The problem for the futurist is it hard to imagine atheist worshipping a beast, which is part of the mark.
 
Runner, I believe your understanding of a literal mark is correct. I like your responses to Mae. Based on your quote above. I have to ask, do you understand, based on prophecy, the condition of the world at the time the "mark" is implemented, and if so explain.
You two do realize that the recipients of days mark need to worship the beast, right. A mark, whatever that is, is not the problem. The worship of that which is evil is.

Mae, the word "days" I assume is misspelled, for "the". Otherwise, your not making any sense.

Does it not make sense to you that if the beast forces all to receive his mark, in order to buy or sell, and those who do, are obeying his orders, which is worship. It's akin to the three Hebrews not worshiping the king of Babylon, when ordered to bow, before the golden imagine.

Thank you for you kind response. I’m often on my mobile phone with its small typing letters and autospell.

I don’t see how an atheist who takes a physical mark, like a chip as they do in Sweden, is thereby worshipping. The reward for participating is hell with no chance of repentance and this is serious. Worship is an act. It isn’t something that you did but didn’t know.

The biblical account you raised requires people to bow down and worship. They had to physically worship. It wasn’t something anyone could do and not know they did it. The men of God had to refuse.

Worshiping something has nothing to do with bowing down or anything phisycal. Worshiping is thinking highly of something. People who worship God think highly of God or adore God. It has noting to do with anything physical.
People who worship mamon don't go to the bank and bow down at the bank. They think highly of money and adore it.
People who worship the beast think highly of it or adore it.
 
The mark of the beast, is not a literal physical mark.
Just as the seal of God (Revelation 7:3) is not a physical mark on the people of God.

That seal we understood as spiritual, in the faith and in
the character; this evil brand we must interpret in like manner, being also
a spiritual mark.

You cannot receive the seal of God without your willingness to serve the Lord and keep His commandments.
Nor can you receive this mark of the beast without willingness to do its commandments and taking an active role
in fighting against God and His saints. A mark that must be spiritually discerned.
(read the Holy Bible and keep God's commandments
and precepts and you will gain this discernment by knowing right from wrong)

There is much fear surrounding this doctrine where there needs not be.
Nobody can unknowingly receive this mark. Those who receive this mark, are made partakers
of the benefits of the beast's spiritual dominion. But by becoming willing servants unto Satan
and his spiritual dominion, have sadly, guaranteed their place in the lake of fire.
Actually the mark of the beast is a physical object stuck into the right hand or forehead and is used for buying and selling. In an effort to collect taxes, the beast's establishes the mark in place of cash. It's just a part of his cashless society.
 
Money is the root of all evil. When the Antichrist comes he will use our lust for money to enslave us. He is grinding us down with financial extortion, using inflation to eat away at our savings and investments. When inflation becomes hyperinflation, you will no longer be able to buy and sell using US dollars. Hyperinflation will make US dollars worthless. That is when he will step in and offer you the choice of accepting the new World Currency Unit (WCU).

The WCU will be an indexed unit of account, with each unit representing a stable unit of global purchasing power.

Indexed units of account have no inflation risk, since the real value of payments remain constant over time. An indexed unit of account, the Unidad de Fomento, was introduced in Chile in 1967. Its original base value has never changed.

The prophetic passage is found in Revelation 13:16-17:

He required everyone—small and great, rich and poor, free and slave—to be given a mark on the right hand or on the forehead. And no one could buy or sell anything without that mark, which was either the name of the beast or the number representing his name.

Here allow me ....
Rev.13 The Mark of the Beast
16And the second beast required all people small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their forehead, 17 so that no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark, the name of the beast or the number of its name. 18Here is a call for wisdom: Let the one who has insight calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man, and that number is 666.…

In verse 17 there are three things 1. The Mark- this has to do with a genetic mark placed on the human genome by way of Messenger RNA. 2. the name of the beast is revealed in the first beast, you would have to know what the image of the beast means ( I know exactly what the image means and therefore, know the name), 3. the Number of its name is your social security number. The SS system was first established in Germany by the Rothschilds. Hence number of its name. We all were given a number at birth. However, now they will implement a biometric tattoo under the guise of protecting your identity. War will definitely be a means. Ya know what they say "Let no good crisis go to waste"- Kissinger. So, for some people they will have their SS# placed biometrically upon them, others the name of the Beast. So, what does the 666 thing mean? Well, many Jewish pandering Judas's ( who have tasted Christianity but sold out) want us all to believe it is a gematria. Lol! The genetic marker has already been implemented, now the biometric mark on the hand or forehead must come. It will come with the beast out of the earth- out of their bunkers.

666 has to do with Carbon 12- 6 protons, 6 electrons and 6 neutrons. Cov fe fe enjoy! The Man of Sin, why is his number the number of a man? Graphene which has that Carbon # 666, in Gene Delivery ;Gene delivery is a method used to "cure some genetic diseases by bringing foreign DNA into cells. Lol! That's what they say anyways.

Graphene Oxide modified by Polyethyleneimine can be used for these purposes is expected to show low cytotoxicity, as it did in the drug delivery case of their "study". It would seem then that the Man of Sin is genetically altered. We all know or should know they can make luxury babies today and can gene edit what scientist deem undesirable traits or add traits. Such is the case with the Man of Sin. His number is the number of Graphene- that is his number of choice, in implementing his stuff in man. Yes, we naturally are Carbon 12 based but by adding graphene 666 artificially alongside another foreign organism by injecting its genetic code into its host by way of m-RNA you allow the genetic code to stick. Carbon 12 is in essence the glue that binds. Carbon 12 is what holds our DNA together. By playing God, this man has chosen this means to get whatever code he wants to add to people- to stick.

We all have Carbon base 12, however, in the discovery of graphene man has been able to break that down and implement for gene editing.

"This pliable form of Carbon is called graphene, and it took the physics community by storm when the first paper on appeared. The man who first discovered graphene, along with his colleague, Kostya Novoselov, is Andre Geim. 'Scientists often find ingenious ways to attain their research objectives, even if that objective is a truly two-dimensional material that many physicists felt could not be grown. In 2003, one ingenious physicist took a block of graphite, some Scotch tape and a lot of patience and persistence and produced a magnificent new wonder material that is a million times thinner than paper, stronger than diamond, more conductive than copper."

This Month in Physics History: October 2009 -

In addition to this Graphene is made of Carbon which has: 6 protons, 6 neutrons, and 6 electrons. There you have it, a six-sided hexagon bonded in groups of three making many 666's in the Covid shot. This Graphene oxide is the carrier for the false light of Lucifer, the Luciferase, which is also in the Covid injection under the name SM-102

It will also be used for the biometric stamp or mark on the hand of forehead.
Daniel 2: 42
And as the toes of the feet were partly iron and partly clay, so this kingdom will be partly strong and partly brittle.

Those who have the Graphene Carbon base 666 oxide in them are the brittle part of the kingdom. Those who simply receive the biometric mark on the hand or forehead are not genetically altered but owned and have bowed down in worship of the Beast and its image.
 
Would you vote in favor of switching to digital currency?

What if hyperinflation made the US dollar worthless and you could no longer buy and sell?

What if the new digital currency promised a permanent end to inflation? That's like promising free money for life.

Would you choose to take the mark?

The word "mark" means a currency or unit of account as in the German Deutsche Mark.

The word mark comes from a merging of three Teutonic/Germanic words, Latinised in 9th-century post-classical Latin as marca, marcha, marha or marcus. It was a measure of weight for gold and silver throughout Europe.

Inflation is the beast that eats the value of our money:

Inflation: The beast awakens. How will you survive?

Inflation Beast Won't Lie Quietly Again for a Long Time

The inflation beast is harder to tame than we had assumed

and so

Mark of the Beast = Currency of Inflation
