Is it something that has yet to come? And who gets anything put on their forehead? Might it be a bandana? Very strange. Here are a couple of verses from Revelations that discusses the "mark of the beast".

Revelation 13:16-17
And he causes all, the small and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the free men and the slaves, to be given a mark on their right hand or on their forehead, and he provides that no one will be able to buy or to sell, except the one who has the mark, either the name of the beast or the number of his name.

Revelation 14:9-10
Then another angel, a third one, followed them, saying with a loud voice, “If anyone worships the beast and his image, and receives a mark on his forehead or on his hand, he also will drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is mixed in full strength in the cup of His anger; and he will be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb.

Look. I get the fact that the only thing some of you know how to do is 'cut and paste' canned responses that some Denomination handed you.

All I ask is that you try and comprehend what God has been trying to teach Mankind for thousands of years now by doing your own research and TAKING YOUR BIBLES LITERALLY.

Time and time again, God warned about Idols. Why? Because God knows that we will attempt to make those Idols real one day...

Revelation 13:15
"And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed."

Again, this stuff is literal. The verse is speaking of a real life Frankenstein built from the ground up. Transhumanism.

Look at your right hand. What do you see?

Fingerprints/Palmprints

That is your own unique Identifier that you were born with. It is your MARK. God gave you that.

What happens when One changes their DNA? They receive a NEW MARK on their right hand. A new ID. A new Soul.
  • New fingerprints (Mark on the Right Hand).
  • New Facial Recognition Features (Mark on the Forehead)
Your Soul is your Genome. This is the Name that is written in the Book of Life. This is the Word of God teaching this.

Study/Research/Learn/Grow. Not much longer now.

Good luck everyone.

It's interesting to me that God first seals the 144,000 with some type of mark on their forehead. (Rev. 7:3)

Later satans man wants to force a mark on his people upon their right hand and forehead. (Rev. 13:16-17)

We don't know how yet that the 12,000 from each tribe of Israel will be able to be identified, as they are unknown today. Something must be discovered that will lead to that.

Perhaps, whatever is discovered that leads to that, will also be used by the anti-christ. Just a thought.

It's not a literal visible mark, but that of God's anointing on them like all of us that are His own.

These servants are the generational 144,000 from the twelve tribes of Israel, except for the tribe of Dan and Ephraim as they fell to idol worship and allowed God to be removed from them, Judges 18:30; 1 Kings12:25-33; Hosea 5:9, 11;Psalms 78:9-17, 65-67. To keep it twelve tribes since Dan and Ephraim are not mentioned in vs. 4-8 the tribe of Joseph appears twice, once under his own name and once under the name of his son Issachar/Manasseh. Judah is mentioned first as Messiah was to come from the lineage of David.

When studying the history of the twelve tribes of Israel being the sons of Jacob/Israel we find from 1047 B.C. and 931 B.C. the twelve tribes were under the leadership of three Kings, Saul, David and Solomon. Near the end of Solomon's reign he fell into idolatry and God spoke of tearing apart the Kingdom as judgment for these sins, 1 Kings 11:10-12.
After Solomon's death his son Rehoboam became King and those ten Northern tribes (Israel/Ephraim) rebelled against King Rehoboam and followed after Jeroboam up North causing a division of the north and south Kingdom. Only the tribe of Judah (Judah) and the tribe of Benjamin (Judah) stayed Loyal to King Rehoboam in the southern Kingdom for they kept Gods commandments as they knew David was the lineage of the promised Messiah as it was prophesied of the prophets of God. For almost two centuries the two Kingdoms where divided, but a remnant of the ten tribes soon came back to Judah after following Jeroboam as he turned the northern Kingdom into idol worshipers.

This is the importance of the 144,000 of the house of Israel and their generations unto the end of days. There were those of the old covenant that were faithful to God in keeping all his commandments and repented of their idol worshipping. Their generations who have also come back to Gods grace that are still alive during the seven trumpet sounds will continue to preach to the Jews as it was with the twelve disciples in Matthew 10:6. The generations of the 144,000 that are still alive have the seal of God on them which are the seven Spirits of God as they will have to endure much persecution until the end of days before the return of Jesus.

(Seven Spirits of God are found in Isaiah 11:2 and mentioned in Rev 1:4.
Spirit of the Lord, wisdom, understanding, counsel, power, knowledge and fear/respect of the Lord.)

Doesn't make sense to me. (Rev. 7:3) is specific. "in their foreheads" (Rev. 14:1) is more specific. "And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty four thousand, having his Father's name written in their foreheads."

This sealing was for public identification. Just like the anti-christ's will be for the marking of his people. So others could see it.

One thing about the book of Revelation is that there is so much symbolism more so than literal in parts. IMO I do not see the mark as being literally stamped on the forehead or the hand, but that of the actions of the heart. It's like the laws written on our heart. They are not literally written on our heart, but are the actions of our heart.

I understand. I just disagree. Though there are symbols used in (Revelation), I see no reason to attribute the mark or sealing as one of them. The unusual times they live in, I believe, demand a visible mark.

Not to bring up politics, but I see this occurring today. The divide. Now Biden wants to free up a certain people from wearing a mask, and telling some they must wear a mask.

You see...behind it satan is getting people used to the idea of identifying the good people from the bad people. A visible sign.

All we can pretty much do is only speculate, but to know for a surety not to bow down to any corrupt government and their control over deceptive religious entrapment.

Its easier to say what its not ..its not the covid vaccine or any of that bull ...i cant tell you how much money pastors make off of books that try to predict things from revelation and its just fear mongering ... But to answer your question i think that its a number or name .
I am no scholar but i wonder if its speaking of a local event or an event around the world ?

Unvaccinated people in Moscow told to stay at home. If it becomes illegal for unvaccinated people to leave their homes, isn't that the same as not being able to buy or trade etc. like the mark of the beast from the book of Revelation?

No, not really, but a push to Communism as even now the NWO is being set up. If you can not leave your house then many would lose their jobs, not able to pay bills or buy anything which would force them out into the streets or into workcamps.
 
His beginning was the sin of pride found within him and since his time within the garden of Eden where iniquity was first found in him he has been ruling the nations working his evil plan of the destruction of God's people throughout all the generations taking captive and making many martyr's of the children of God. From the beginning of the Babylonian Empire up to the revived Roman Empire we are soon to see history repeat itself for the last time.
