Not sure, but it comes close to the description. In the book of revelation, it says that the mark will give us numbers to i.d. us,and we cannot buy(consume) anything without it. Considering that there are markets/stores,in texas, that are set up for practicing the chips that are implanted in human testing subjects as we speak, we're probably just a few years away from them to become the norm. I have read that these chips holds all i.d. numbers, it has your checking account(so instead of writing checks-they will scan your hand with the chip in it and it will automatically take out the amount), and credit card accounts in them, your name, address, and telephone number just to name a few. I also read that a few political people thinks it will help stop illegal immigrants from sneaking into the country,because every chip will have a product i.d. # set up into a main computer system in the U.S. and will only be allowed to be manufactured by the U.S. What's really scary is,is that the scanners are made to scan the right hand!

The mark of the beast is not a computer chip or a bar code, although these will be used during the reign of the Antichrist. It is more spiritual than anything, or a lack of spirituality I should say. It is Christless Christianity and a pension for materialism. 666 means material man, material man, material man.

No, the mark of the beast is deception.
What is behind your forehead, your brain.
The right hand is symbolic for your power and your works.

The mark of the beast is simply the acceptance of the supernatural as being valid and real.
The beast dies when it is no longer valid, supported or belived in. We really are our own worst enemy.

you ask a very good question and i have the answer if you are willing to read it.
The mark of the beast of Rev.13:16-18 what is it? Can we see the mark of the beast? Who will the mark of the beast be put on to? Will the mark be branded on a person?Will the mark be tattooed to a person? Will the mark be stamped to our hand or forehead like admittion to a concert or fair? Well let's see what we can find out about the mark of the beast.
The mark of the beast of Rev.13:16-18 what is it? Can we see the mark of the beast? Who will the mark of the beast be put on to? Will the mark be branded on a person?Will the mark be tattooed to a person? Will the mark be stamped to our hand or forehead like admittion to a concert or fair? Well let's see what we can find out about the mark of the beast.
Now we will come back to this number 666 in a little bit. For the time being I'm working on the mark,and by the way what is a mark. The Webster's dictionary on one of it's many definitions for it has over 42 definitions for the word mark, for instance,
the first definition is "a visible impression". #2 a badge,brand or other visible sign. #3 punctuation mark. #4 a sign, usually an X made by someone who can't write his name, and so on and so forth, I want you all to notice these definitions have a word in common and that word is the word "sign" Like the next definition of the word mark, #6 and this is all it says "a sign, token or indication". Two of these three words I remember plainly reading in the Old Testaments. And the words are "sign" and "token" and we will go and find these words in a moment. Lets continue with the mark.
Rev.15:2 mentions the mark in a different way. Verse 1 And I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvellous, seven angels having the seven last plagues; for in them is filled up the wrath of God. verse 2 And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire:and them that had gotten the victory over the beast and over his image and over his mark and over the number of his name stand on the sea of glass having the harps of God. verse3 And they sing the song of Moses. These people that stands on the sea of glass did not receive the mark of the beast.
But what happens to the people who do receive the mark of the beast, or you could say the sign of the beast, or even the Token of the beast. Rev.16 gives you a pretty good idea what happens to those with the mark. Because all seven of the angels with the seven vials poured the vials on earth in this one small chapter. verse2
And the first went, and poured out his vial upon the earth; and there fell a noisome and grievous sore upon the men which had the mark of the beast, and upon them which worshipped his image". It continues with the next vial being poured out even worse than the one before. Back in chapter 14 and verse 9 we read: And the third angel followed them saying with a loud voice, if any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead or in his hand 10 The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God.
This is what was happening in chapter 16 with the vials being poured out onto the earth. The point here that we need to remember is the mark , sign or token, is in the hand or in the forehead. Both here in verse 9 and in chapter 13:16 which speaks specially about the foreheads and right hand in particular. I've come to understand that a person does work with his hands and that what is behind your foreheads is what? Your brain that gray matter which is your memory bank is inside your forehead. Now mark in your hand means work or working and your forehead means your mind or memory. With that in mind do you remember the definition of mark? It was a sign or token. Mark,sign and token are interchangeable words meaning the same thing. Lets read verse 9

Mark,sign and token are interchangeable words meaning the same thing. Lets read verse 9
Lets read verse 9 again with the word token. verse 9 and the third angel followed them saying with a loud voice if any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his token in his forehead or in his hand 10 the same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God: token, mark, sign; same meaning same thing: interchangable. With this in mind, or with this in your forehead or with this between your eyes, lets turn to Ex.13:12.
In ch 12 the Lord was re-teaching the Israelites the months of the year because of the many many years they were slaves in Egypt they took on the ways of the Egyptians. We find the beginning of the months learning in Ex.12:2,18,and Ex13:4. The Lord is also teaching them this first feast known as the passover and the feast of unleavened bread.
The passover is the Lord's passover in 12:11 in verse 14 how long to keep it, verse 15 starts speaking of the seven days of unleavened bread. In verse 17 the Lord names it "The Feast of Unleavened Bread" and how long they should keep it .verse 18 the Lord tells them when to start and when to finish the feast.In verse 24 again the Lord tells them for how long they should keep it.
Let's look at Leviticus ch.23 just for a minute so you can come to understand the amazing truth of God the all mighty. In verse 3 the Lord speaks about His 7th day sabbath or the weekly sabbath this is the first sabbath to always keep in your minds. In verse 5 and 6 the Lord explains in more detail of the Lord's passover and unleavened bread.verse 7 the first day of unleavened bread is a Sabbath regardless of what day of the week it falls on. And the last day of the feast is a sabbath regardless of what day of the week it lands on verse 8. In most years of the passover and feast of unleavened bread thre are three sabbaths of rest, to have church and to do no work on those days the first day of unleavened bread and the last day of unleavened bread and the 7th day saturday sabbath. OK let's turn back to Ex.13. After God was showing the children of israel the passover and the feast of unleavened bread God told them this.
Ex.13:9 And it shall be for a sign unto thee upon thine hand,and for a memorial between thine eyes; or keep in your mind and remember that the Lord's law may be in your mouth( now the Lord's law can't be in your mouth if you don't remember to do His law) for with a strong hand has the Lord brought you out of Egypt. verse 10 Thou shalt therefore keep this ordinance in his season from year to year. verse 16 And it shall be for a token upon thine hand, and for frontlets between thine eyes:(or a mark upon your hand because of not working on the His sabbath days and mark on your foreheads because you remeber to keep His sabbaths )Ex.31:13 Speak thoou also unto the children of israel saying verily my sabbaths ye shall keep for it is a sign beteeen me and you throughout your generations that ye may know that I AM the Lord that doth sanctify you. Like I've said the word sign can be replaced with the word mark for instance it is a mark between me and you throughout your generations.
Notice here also the word sabbaths is plural because the Lord is speaking of not only the weekly sabbath which is termed in the singular form throughout the word of God but he also speaking of His feast sabbaths.Look at what the weekly sabbath is to us and to God verse 17 It is a sign between Me and the children of israel for ever; or we could read it like this.It is a mark between Me and the children of israel for ever; Now in verse 18 we can see this was wrote in stone by the merciful wonderful God with His finger. But that's not all that was wrote in stone with the finger of God.
Plainly in chapter 34 of Exodus a person can "see" and "hear" that God's feast were wrote in stone with the Ten commandments. For me this is another subject for another time. But if you truly ask God to give you "eyes to see" and "ears to hear", then you will! Now lets turn to Deu.6:1
Now these are the commandments, the statutes, and the judgments, which the Lord your God commanded to teach you that ye might do them in the land whither ye go to possess it: What should we do about God's commandments, statues and judgments, well God tells us plainly what to do with them. Lets look at verse 8 And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand and they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes. Otherwords they shall be in your mind always like a mark on your forehead.This is wrote again in ch.11:18 "Therefore shall ye lay up these my words in your heart and in your soul, and bind them for a sign "or mark" upon your hand that they may be as frontlets between your eyes.
Here's a beginning of the mark of the beast in chapter 28 verse 46 In verse 14 of chapter 28 lets read 14 and thou shalt not go aside from any of the words which I command thee this day to the right hand or to the left to go after other gods to serve them. 15 but it shall come to pass if thou wilt not hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God to observe to do all his commandments and his statutes which I command thee this day; that all these curses shall come upon thee and overtake thee: Now God starts listing curse after curse after curse from verse 16 through verse 68 curses and more curses. These curses have happened , is happening and will continue more and more until we as a nation as a people repent and forsake our own ways and return to God's way .
Let's look at verse 46 and they; they meaning the curses; and they shall be upon you for a sign "or mark" and for a wonder " I look this word wonder up in The Strong's Exhaustive Concordance and it also means "SIGN" or "SYMBOL" or "MARK"; so this verse can read like this:" and they shall be upon you for a mark and for a symbol and upon your seed for ever.47 Because thou servedst not the Lord thy God with joyfulness, and with gladness of heart for the abundance of all things;
Well I don't know about you but I'm seeing one mark for God's people who keep His sabbaths and a opposite mark for those people who don't keep God's sabbaths. Turn with me if you will to Ezekiel.
Ez.20 the Lord speaks about how he chose Israel, made Himself known to them in Egypt. verse 5 and to bring them out of Egypt to a land the Lord searched out for them flowing with milk and honey. verse 6 He told them to cast away every man the abominations of His eyes and defile not yourselves with the idols of Egypt. verse 7 but not everyone did cast away or forsake the idols. verse8 the Lord gave them His statutes and showed them His judgments which if a man do he shall even live in them. verse11 in verse 12 once again God explains what His sabbaths are for. verse 12 Moreover also I gave them my sabbaths to be a sign {mark} between Me and them that they might know that I am the Lord that sanctify them". and once again verses 19 and 20 I am the Lord your God; walk in my statutes, and keep my judgments and do them;20 and hallow my sabbaths and they shall be a sign {mark} between Me and you that ye may know that I am the Lord your God. Lets turn back to Exodus 13:9;
and it shall be for a mark unto thee upon thine hand and for a memorial between thine eyes verse 16 and it shall be for a mark upon your hand and in your foreheads. I call these marks "the mark of the saints".
Lets turn back to Rev.13:16 and the beast causeth all both small and great rich and poor free and bond to receive a mark in their right hand or in their foreheads: Now this is called the "Mark of the beast". The beast cause's them to receive the mark not by force or branding or magic markers but by deceiving the people into forgetting the commandments and judgments of God. By making them forget God's true sabbaths by replacing God's Holydays with mans holidays.
To me its like black and white and very simple:[ keep God's Sabbaths and receive God's mark or don't keep God's Sabbaths and receive the mark of the beast.] The marks cannot be seen except by God His angles and Jesus the Christ. God's people will know who has the mark of the beast. I sid I would come back to the number 666 of Rev.13:18 I will tell you plainly what I have learned of this number.
666 the number of the beast called a man meaning possibly a set of men or an institution headed by a man or set of men. It seems to mean a name the letters of which when regarded as numerals total 666. Irenaeus a pupil of Polcarp who was a pupil of John who wrote the book of Rev. understood the 666 to be the Greek word "LATEINOS" L is 30 /A is 1/ T is 300/ E is 5/ I is 10/ N is 50/ O is 70/ S is 200= add these letters and they come to 666. Lateinos means Laten Kingdom/ Papal Rome made Latin its official language and it is to this day. Rome's canons which are rules and laws of the Roman Catholic Church Rome's missals which are the Catholic Churches book containing the prayers and rites used by the priest in celebrating mass. Rome's decrees prayers bulls which are a papal documents with a seal on it. and Rome's blessings and cursings are all in Latin.[ HERE IS WISDOM]=Rev.14:1 and verse 12/ AND I LOOKED AND LO A LAMB STOOD ON THE MOUNT SION AND WITH HIM AN HUNDRED FORTY AND FOUR THOUSAND HAVING HIS FATHER'S NAME WRITTEN IN THEIR FOREHADS. HERE IS THE PATIENCE OF THE SAINTS HERE ARE THEY THAT KEEP THE COMMANDMENTS OF GOD AND THE FAITH OF JESUS.
