The Scripture merely states that it will be "received in the right hand or the forehead." As to whether or not it will be visible, I wouldn't think so. It would be rather garish, don't you think? The acceptance or refusal of the mark bears witness to people's desire to serve God or not; without it "no one can buy nor sell save he have the mark." It wouldn't have to be seen, the ones who refuse it will be ferreted out by their inability to survive economically. Read Revelation from Chapters 13-22. The events from the inception of the mark of the beast until the end of days is included there and should give some more insight. If you need any more help, I'll try my best! The mark itself is thought to be a prefix to a worldwide "social security number system" which will enable the Antichrist to weed out the believers in an effort to persecute and eradicate them. Example...if your SSN is 123-45-6789, in that day it might read when it's scanned 666-123-45-6789. This way, all of your transactions in life can be monitored and taken care of through electronic credit and debit without ever handling cash or securities of any kind! Ever wonder why the people cast their gold, pearls, money and such into the streets during that day? They've become WORTHLESS due to the fact that the new system will do everything electronically under the control of one man. And with the amount of information that can already be processed and transferred electronically, we are being well-conditioned!

The Number 666 is the number of the beast and its devices as well as the people belonging to it ,that's why they have the mark of the beast on their for heads, but the mark may not necessarily be that number and no they will not literally be able to see the mark but the mark maybe obvious in other ways!

The number of the beast is six hundred sixty six. Most likely the mark of the beast, will be a microchip that has the number 666 encoded in it. Its not literally going to be a stamp on someones head that says 666 but a chip that has the number encrypted in it when it is scanned. So its going to be inserted under their skin, undetectable with the human eye.

This requires documentation not only in the scriptures, but foretold by the scriptures.
Revelations17: "And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name."
Revelations 18: "Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six."
These describe both the number and how it affects us in our current situation, that "we may not buy or sell, save he that had...the number..." Consider the only number that applies today: the Social Security Number (in the U.S.-other nations have 9 digit numbers which have similar restrictions), the "number of a man."
At the time of the writing of the inspired Word of God, numerology was a commonly used practice. The way one finds the "power" of a number according to this practice is to add numbers until reaching a single number. For example 6+6+6=18. 1+8=9. There are 9 digits in the Social Security Number. One doesn't have to wonder if our time was revealed to a person living nearly 2000 years ago that they would use their understanding to describe what they saw. My belief is that this is an additional way to link 666 with the SSN, although I have no documentation to prove this point, although it does seem to fit with "Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast."
United States Code, Title 42 , Chapter 7, Subchapter IV, Part D, § 666, (13) Recording of social security numbers in certain family matters.— Procedures requiring that the social security number of—
(A) any applicant for a professional license, driver’s license, occupational license, recreational license, or marriage license be recorded on the application;
(B) any individual who is subject to a divorce decree, support order, or paternity determination or acknowledgment be placed in the records relating to the matter; and
(C) any individual who has died be placed in the records relating to the death and be recorded on the death certificate.
This establishes the Social Security Number as the number described in Revelations:17,18.
Revelations 16: "And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads"
Below is a link to the company most likely to provide the mark and the way it will be put in the hand or forehead as foretold:

The Mark is a Stigma. Those having the seal of God, cannot be given the Mark of the Beast, The seal of God is the Holy Spirit. Ephesians 1:13 & 4:30
Hurt not the earth, Sea or trees till we have sealed the servants of God in their forehead . Revelations 7:3 (the seal is a private mark "Sphragizo" for security. ) Forehead ment opposite the countanance meaning not seen.
These will not accept the Mark of the Beast (Theron) because they will recognize it as Anti- Christ or Anti Anointed.not accepting the Holy Spirit. Hope this helps .

I will find scripture to show what I say here.
But for now.. The mark will NOT likely be the same as 666 as that would be a clue it's a bad thing. Yes people will be able to see it because those without it can be persecuted by anyone for not having it. You can't persecute for NOT having it unless you can actually see who does have it.
I am teaching an Eschatology class for the 3rd time this summer so this is all pretty fresh in my mind right now.

the mark of the beast ,or the number ,was already in the second world war ,the tattoo on the Jewish prisoners of war ,
which was in fact a number for the first big IBM computer ,in order to work out food ,working hours and life span of these people ,
today the mark of the beast is the implantable micro chip .
which works like a credit card ,when they abolish cash money ,only people with this micro chip will be able to buy or sell.and it can be implanted in the wrist or hand .or fore head.
Also produced by IBM
Thoth on his Emerald tablets ,mentions these already 36.000 years ago ,and so does the bible.
what is not so much known is that many people already have these chips implanted either voluntary ,as with many people in the services ,and the given reason is ,that it is for security.
or involuntary ,whilst they underwent surgery in hospital or when they were born ,with out the parents being aware of it ,And apparently this has already been going on since 1980.
and these chips can also be shot into ones neck and all that you feel will be a sting like from a mosquito.
further more apart from acting as a credit card ,these chips can be used to affect a persons mentality .making them happy.lethargic or angry,as well as being able to locate them anywhere on the planet and even direct sexual orientation .
it is said that it can kill as well
the control is via satalites with a giant transmittor called HAAARP.
all of this can be verified on the web.
one of these sites is www.infowars,

666
Rev 13:18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.
(James Moffatt translation)
Now for the gift of interpretation. Let the discerning calculate the cipher of the Beast; it is the cipher of a man, and the figures are six hundred and sixty-six.
Six hundred threescore and six
G5516 χξς chi xi stigma khee xee stig'-ma
The 22nd, 14th and an obsolete letter (G4742 as a cross) of the Greek alphabet (intermediate between the 5th and 6th), used as numbers; denoting respectively 600, 60 and 6; 666 as a numeral: - six hundred threescore and six.
G4742 στίγμα stigma stig'-mah
From a primary word στίζω stizō (to “stick”, that is, prick); a mark incised or punched (for recognition of ownership), that is, (figuratively) scar of service: - mark.
Biblical significance of the number 6; WEAKNESS OF MAN - EVILS OF SATAN - MANIFESTATION OF SIN
Biblical significance of the number 666; THE NUMBER OF THE BEAST ANTI-CHRIST
TYPE OF BEAST
Goliath whom David slew (I Samuel 17), had the number of a man, 6, 6, and 6.
Items of Goliath, (1) helmet, (2) coat of mail, (3) greaves, (4) target, (5) spear, (6) shield
whose height was six cubits and a span
his spear's head weighed six hundred shekels of iron
TYPE OF IMAGE
Nebuchadnezzar made an image (Daniel 3), had the number of a man, 6, 6, and 6.
Instruments, (1) cornet, (2) flute, (3) harp, (4) sackbut, (5) psaltery, (6) dulcimer
whose height was threescore cubits, or sixty
the breadth thereof six cubits
To further calculate the cipher 666 when Satan will think he is in full control.
Revelation 6:12 the sixth seal
Revelation 9:13 the sixth trump
Revelation 16:12 the sixth vial
On June 6 the U.S. Senate will vote on the Marriage Protection Amendment (MPA) which defines marriage as being only between one man and one woman. Because of a power grab by activist judges like the one in Georgia, the MPA is the only way that the sacred institution of marriage will remain between one man and one woman.
