The mark of the beast, is it in your forehead (mind) or on your forehead (a physical mark)?

Question

To have a physical mark does not make sense. I would think that the devil is smarter than that. How can you worship the devil knowing that he is the devil. But, if he makes you think that he is someone else, let say Jesus, than the mark would be in your forehead, in your mind.
Rev. 13:11
Think about it.

Answer 1

You must be a prodigy, seriously.

Answer 2

I don't think that it is either one! God has left us with a choice. Either to follow the Lord or to follow Satan. The bible warns us of the end times and what is to happen and he gives us the opportunity to change our ways to avoid the tragedy yet to come. When the christians are raptured up to heaven the tribulation period starts. This will leave all non believers here on earth. This will take Gods holy spirit off of the earth and Satan will have full reign on earth. The people that are left behind are going to be the ones that rejected God. God will make himself known through the tragedies here on earth to get people to repent. There will be a man that will step forward and create world peace and a world govt. This man will seem to have all the answers as he solves all of the worlds problems. People will not see him as a devil. They will see him as a savior. He will reign for seven yrs. The first 3 1/2 yrs will be happy. The second half of the tribulation period he claims himself to be Christ. He will become posessed by Satan. He will require everyone to follow him and worship him. If you refuse you die. He will have a mark that you will have to take to show that you are a follower of his. This is the mark of the beast. No one knows what the mark of the beast will be. Some think it will be a tattoo, or a mircrochip implant. It will literally be placed in the forehead or on your hand. If you take this you will condemn yourself to hell. No one will know that they are following and worshiping satan. They will take the mark in fear of not being able to survive here on earth or of death. It will not be a mental notation, I do not know whether or not it will leave a physical mark but it is real and it will happen. Find a good book that takes Revelation and makes it simplified for you and read into the meanings of the stories in the bible. It may make this easier to understand for you. If you don't believe in Christ , you will easily be deceived.

Answer 3

The Bible is full of great thought provoking stories, some stories or recants, are metiphorical, others are tangable predictions of what will happen to our physical bodies in the last days. When Jesus reffers to the mark of the beast he is speaking metophorically. Let me break it down 4 u. Have u ever met someone and immediately u dont like them, u sense something, but they havent given u a tangible reason to feel so? This is a way that your soul/ conscience is warning u that there is something evil/ off about them. Just as those that are "MARKED" will be noticably recognizable by Christians everywhere. That soul recognition is what God means when the Bible says that Christians that are saved will be able to see the mark. It is a metophor to explain that in the last days people wont be able to keep up their fasod. The devil is only as smart as u think he is! Dont let him fool u! Trust that intuition, keep being a God fearing person, and u too will be able to recognize the mark of the beast!! God Bless You, and keep u!

Answer 4

I always thought about it as a physical mark - maybe not visible - that will be used as a global system. Revelation 13:16-17 says that no one will be able to buy or sell without it. I've always likened that to having something implanted in a person's skin that can be scanned in order to purchase and sell things - like we use debit and credit cards for, today.

Vs. 16 specifically says, too, that the mark can be on their forehead OR their right hand. Since it gives two options, the suggestion of it being in a person's mind doesn't correlate with a person's right hand. I don't associate right hands with peoples' minds.

Lastly, I think that [satan] or the anti-christ won't be out to convince people that he's Jesus. There's plenty of opposition to Jesus in the world already. Some people are looking for the Messiah and some people are waiting for Jesus' return. But the majority of people don't like Him and wouln't associate with someone who said he was Christ.

I think [satan] would more likely try to convince the world that his anti-christ is a great world leader - someone who will be able to unite the world in peace. THAT's what the main focus is today - world peace - not Jesus. The world is going to embrace that idea because that's what so many people want.

Answer 5

God's holy spirit has obviously revealed this to you through your study of the Bible. It is a conclusion that most people never are able to reach. The mark of the beast is NOT a literal mark, but is placed on your forehead by the angels because of how you think, or on your hand because of the things you do. It is a 666 because God made man on the 6th day and it is used 3 times to emphasize the fact that these people are trying to decide for themselves (looking to man) what is right and wrong--That is exactly the thing that got Eve in trouble.

Answer 6

The mark of the beast is a symbolic mark of 666 which stands for "man"
It is a "mark" of a system of man.

The "system" is church politics where that a church leader takes over as the spirtual leader of the congregation INSTEAD of the Holy Spirit.

It is when one is in this "church" or this "system" that one becomes "marked WITH the "system.
Paying tithes or contributing to a church that has this "system" is contributing to the "system" and being a PART of this "system.

The Bible says
"Come out of her , My people"
Out of where? ....Babylon, which is confusion...


Come out of confused church systems that will spiritually kill you...unawares.
People are marked and don't even know it...

The "mark" is on the forehead which represents the mind, that one receives it mentally and accepts it. Or, the mark is also on the hand which represents the handling or workings in the "church systems"

But it's not a literal "mark"
It's a spiritual "mark" that one receives when one puts a "church system" before God or in place of God.
That's the spiritual mark of the beast.
Remember, Satan was and is still today, VERY religious.

So what is a "church system" ?
It's a creed or dogma or teaching that is contrary to God's Word.
It's man's ideas coming first before God's Word.

Answer 7

The mark of the beast will be either in a person's forehead or hand. It is not a birthmark; it is a mark people will be forced to take without which, they cannot buy or sell anything.

I've heard musings about the "mark" being a microchip or something. I think this is a good bet. They're putting them in animals now and trying them in Alzheimer's patients.

Answer 8

The mark of the beast is in the palm of your hand if your on a smart phone right now. And the one on your forehead is the flouride that is dimming down your penial gland making it hard for you to hear God telling you to give away your possessions and follow him. Calcification of the penial gland is causing people to hit puberty premature and exposing our youth to lustful temptations before we have the discipline to control ourselves. Dont drink city water and if they start requiring you to use a phone to make transactions I suggest you find a farm to live on. Babylon is capitalism which was started in Rome just before power was given to the pope. Capitalism is driven by competition which separates our families as opposed to cooperation which strengthens our bonds.

Answer 9

A physical mark. More than likely it will be a bar code tattooed on the forehead. It will become fashionable.

Answer 10

It wouldn't be a physical mark or a computer chip in your hand thats to obivious. He isn't stupid.
That would hardly prove support.
No In your mind you would be supporting him and his decisions.
The hand also means support.
Like our saying:" give me a hand" meaning help in what I am doing. Shows they didn't know they were supporting the devil.
I think it is the governments. Satan told Jesus he ruled the governments. When he tempted him. He plays the governments like pawns on a chess game and gets them fighting. Reminds me of the roman arenas where they were forced to fight to the death.

Answer 11

To understand the Mark of the beast--you have to read all these scriptures.
http://www.lcg.org/search/search.php?query=mark+of+the+beast&value%3D10=&search=1
******************************************************************
First of all; we have to know the opposite of it.
The Seal of God is in the 4th Commandment in Exodus 20:8-11; references are John 4:22-24 and Rev.14:7.
Sabbath in Encyclopaedia Americana, Vol.24, pp.68-69.
The Sabbath Day is Saturday.
Look it up in dictionaries, encyclopedias and etc.

But anyway a SEAL contains 3 things.
1. HIS NAME,
2. HIS OFFICIAL POSITION, TITLE OR AUTHORITY
3. THE EXTENT OF HIS DOMINION AND JURISDICTION

Now the SEAL in the 4th Commandment is
1. THE LORD
2. MADE {office,creator}
3. HEAVEN AND EARTH {dominion}

If we know the SEAL is the 7th day sabbath Saturday (EXOD.20:8-11); then rejecting it would be the MARK.

REV.7:2-3 "AND I SAW ANOTHER ANGEL ASCENDING FROM THE EAST, HAVING THE SEAL OF THE LIVING GOD: AND HE CRIED WITH A LOUD VOICE TO THE FOUR ANGELS, TO WHOM IT WAS GIVEN TO HURT THE EARTH AND THE SEA,
SAYING,HURT NOT THE EARTH, NEITHER THE SEA, NOR THE TREES, TILL WE HAVE SEALED THE SERVANTS OF OUR GOD IN THEIR FOREHEADS." {Deut.6:8 = knowing, doing and keeping the Sabbath holy}

SO IF YOU KEEP SATURDAY HOLY(JN.4:22-24) AND FOLLOW JESUS CHRIST FAITH; YOU WILL HAVE THE(REV.14:12) "SEAL OF GOD".

Evidence: (Catholics know when the seventh day is)
"1. Is Saturday the 7th day occording to the Bible & the 10 Commandments.
"I answer yes.
"2. Is Sunday the first day of the week & did the Church change the 7th day--Saturday---for Sunday, the 1st. day:
"I answer yes.
"3. Did Christ change the day
"I anser no! Faithfully yours,
"J. Card. Gibbons"
--Gibbon's Autograph letter.
"Ques.--Which is the Sabbath day?
"Ans.--Saturday is the Sabbath day.
"Ques.--Why do we observe Sunday instead of Saturday?
"Ans.--We observe Sunday instead of Saturday because the Catholic Church transferred the solemnity from Saturday to Sunday."--Peter Geiermann, The Convert's Catechism of Catholic Doctrine (1946 ed.), p.50. Geiermann received the "apostolic blessing" of Pope Pius x on his labors, Jan.25,1910.
Bible Readings pg.194.

(Dan.7:25 tells us "he will think to change laws and times")

"Of course the Catholic Church claims that the change was her act...And the act is a Mark of her ecclesiastical authority in religious things." ---H.F. Thomas, Chancellor of Cardinal Gibbons.

Most people have followed the church; look what Rev.13:1 says "...and all the world wondered after the beast." What does this mean; will if you seen every domination---they follow the Catholic's teachings which are false(Dan.8:12). This is the image of the Beast. This is what God tells his people that are in 1st Babylon and 2nd Babylon in Rev.18:4 "...Come out of her my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye not receive her plagues."

"IF ANY MAN WORSHIP THE BEAST{Sunday} AND HIS IMAGE{teachings of Catholic Church} AND RECEIVE HIS MARK IN HIS FOREHEAD,{affections} OR IN HIS HAND" {REV:14:9, refraining from labor on THAT DAY}.{See ECCLES.9:10; ROM.7:25.}

The Mark of the beast is 666! To accept the beast's mark is to not accept God's Holy Sabbath Day Saturday as Working on the Sabbath.(reference Deut.6:8)

ACTUALLY THE MARK OF THE BEAST IS WHAT PEOPLE DON'T UNDERSTAND! IT'S VERY SIMPLE REALLY; YOU HAVE TO DO THE OPPOSITE OF IT.
THE OPPOSITE OF THE MARK IS THE "SEAL OF GOD" WHICH IS IN THE 4TH COMMANDMENT(EXOD.20:8-11; REV.14:7). BUT IF YOU DON'T KEEP HIS DAY(MARK) AND FOLLOW THE CATHOLIC CHURCH(IMAGE); HE WILL GIVE YOU THIS(REV.14:9-11).

Rev.13:16 "And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive the mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads."

TO BE SUCH MEANS "AND THE BEAST WAS TAKEN, AND WITH HIM THE FALSE PROPHET THAT WROUGHT MIRACLES BEFORE HIM, WITH WHICH HE DECEIVED THEM THAT HAD RECEIVED THE MARK OF THE BEAST, AND THEM THAT WORSHIPPED HIS IMAGE. THESE BOTH WERE CAST ALIVE INTO A LAKE OF FIRE BURNING WITH BRIMSTONE."--REV.19:20
