Mark of the Beast is a (Rev.17:13)Form of Government(Roman Empire is always stamped with the number 666 in Greek and Hebrew; the two languages from the Bible); it has an ecclesiastical and a civil government(Rev.13:11).The pope is both a religious leader as a civil head of state.The Mark of the Beast will probably be forced by Sunday Law as it was back then. It will be when the the Pope uses the power of the state (beast) to force his will to the world; to worship this system. It is a brand of disobedience; it's not a physical mark(compare Rev.14:10 with Col.3:6); just like the Seal of God in Deut.6:8{knowing, doing and keeping the Sabbath holy}and Rev.7:2-3 is not a literal mark. {"The hand is a symbolic of actions, while the forehead is the seat of intellect. Obedience to God involves both actions (hand) and will(forehead)".}

The Anti-Christ is the "lawless one"; the "man of sin" which "opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped..." 2Thess.2:3-4
(note: Catholics confess their sins in booths to the Priest.
Who can forgive sins, but God alone, but priests say to people their sins are forgiven.)

DANIEL 7:25 tells us "HE SHALL SPEAK GREAT WORDS AGAINST THE MOST HIGH, AND SHALL WEAR OUT THE SAINTS OF THE MOST HIGH, AND THINK TO CHANGE TIMES AND LAWS..."
ROM.1:25 = "WHO CHANGED THE TRUTH OF GOD INTO A LIE, AND WORSHIPPED AND SERVED THE CREATURE MORE THAN THE CREATOR, WHO IS BLESSED FOR EVER. AMEN."
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"

"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.
"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.
Note: Catholics even changed the time you do the Sabbath too. They say "midnight to midnight"; when the Bible says "evening to evening" according to Genesis 1:5,8,13,19,23,31 and Lev.23:32.
They changed the New Year from April to January too.)
Rev.17:9-10 "AND HERE IS THE MIND WHICH HAS WISDOM. THE SEVEN HEADS ARE SEVEN MOUNTAINS, ON WHICH THE WOMAN SITTETH.(Catholic Church sits on 7 hills in Rome)
AND THERE ARE SEVEN KINGS: FIVE ARE FALLEN, AND ONE IS,(Italy and Germany ending in the Hitler-Mussolini Axis 1870-1945AD) AND THE OTHER IS NOT YET COME; AND WHEN HE COMETH, HE MUST CONTINUE A SHORT SPACE."
REV.17:10 was fulfilled on television when the Papacy said "that Benedict would be Pope for a short time."

These 10 (Rev.17:12-13)rulers will be giving their support to a coming union of church and state in Europe, which will aspire to world dominance. After an interlude of apparent peace and prosperity, the system will plunge the whole world into a nightmare(World War 3). That's why Jesus has to come back; he has to save the world from total destruction. Matthew 24:21,22,29,30.

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."

OUR SUNDAY VISITOR, (CATHOLIC WEEKLY) BUREAU OF INFORMATION," HUNTINGTON, IND., APRIL 18, 1915;it says on the pope's crown(tiara) are these letters: VICARIUS FILII DEI; what do they signify?
ROMAN NUMERALS FOR THESE LETTERS ARE: V=5; I=1; C=100; U=5; D=500; L=50 = THEY ADD UP TO 666.
(note: Jesus called God "Holy Father", but Roman Catholics call the pope "Most Holy Father" and "VICAR OF CHRIST" which means "in place of Christ"!)

So I'm going to put this in a simple way for you to understand it. Anti-Christ means "against Christ"; in other words is against Jesus's teachings.
PHIL.2:21 "FOR ALL SEEK THEIR OWN, NOT THE THINGS WHICH ARE JESUS CHRIST'S."
To start out; we have to know the empires in the book of Daniel.
Daniel mentions these 4 beasts clearly; starting from Babylon and ending with Rome as the last and final beast.
*Daniel 2:32,38; 7:4; 3:1 "Head of Gold" = Lion = Babylon = King Nebuchadnezzar
*Daniel 2:32: 7:5: 5:25-28; 6:28; 8:20 "Breast and Arms of Silver" = Bear = Medo-Persia = King Darius & Cyrus
*Daniel 2:32; 7:6: 8:21 "Belly and thighs of brass" = Leopard = Greece = Alexander the Great
*Daniel 2:33; 7:7,8,24,25: 8:9,12 "Legs of Iron" = Dreadful Beast = Rome
*Daniel 2:33 "Feet part of iron and part of clay" = Divided Empire
**Now the 10 horns represents kings or kingdoms and 1 comes up among the them and destroys (DANIEL 7:8,23,24)three. THE 10 HORNS ARE POLITICAL: ANGLO-SAXONS, FRANKS, ALAMMI, OSTROGOTHS, LOMBARD, SUEVI, BURGUNDIANS, VISIGOTHS, VANDALS, HERULI, AND THEN A LITTLE HORN COMES UPON THE SCENE THAT IS RELIGIOUS-POLITICAL THAT HAS DESTROYED THE HERULI, VANDALS AND OSTROGOTHS.
NOW DETERMINING WHO THE HORN IS: A.C. FLICK, THE RISE OF THE MEDIAEVAL CHURCH. (PUTNAM'S 1909 ED.)PP.148-149.

I think that this Verichip could be a precursor for the actual Mark of the Beast. I still believe that the ups code which was developed in Brussels is the true foundation of the mark, but it will develope into the Verichip technology soon. Already, no one can buy or sell in the world market without the ups code. I personally would not be able to have a chip of any kind in my body due to the fact that I am super-sensitive and have allergies. My body doesn't agree with even wearing jewelry of any kind. mmm.. I sometimes wonder if the Lord is using all things, like my allergies for good.

Mark of the beast? NO. However, besides the obvious objections to this invasion of privacy, the VeriChip is not good for anything. It has absolutely no security and solves a number of different non-problems badly. If you look at the VeriChip purely from the business angle, it's a ridiculously flawed product. Security researcher Jonathan Westhues has shown how easy it is to clone a VeriChip implanted in a person's arm and program a new chip with the same number.

I don't think so David. I'm pretty sure no one would have the balls to suggest such a thing. When the apocalypse comes everyone and their dog will be on their toes.
The apocalypse will contain tests that will be completely unexpected. I'm fairly certain any great healer that comes to save the day will have some bone to pick with the Christian establishment in the U.S. (not the whole establishment, there are good churches and bad churches) This will cause a lot of confusion.
All I can say is do what YOU know is the right thing, and not what someone has been indoctrinating you to think is right. Don't think you're better than anyone else, don't hate anyone, and always try to help where you can and you will be alright.
Sunman, I'll get in on that magic.

you comprehend there are such component as loonies accessible, who think of they see and hear issues, that are no longer probable there. there are a lot of human beings who do loopy and silly issues. Why are you blaming christians? because of the fact the Bible explains the mark of the beast? This guy for sure grow to be living in worry, in actuality HE desires JESUS! What if it have been some guy who cut back off his hand because of the fact he reported he observed a image of the stickmoose on it-- might this make him much less loopy? extensive-unfold there is somebody accessible who does something outrageous and it makes the headlines. i think sorry for those human beings. edit: additionally to those that're speaking approximately if this guy rather did have the mark, do you recognize this won't take place until eventually the upward thrust of the anti christ comes into skill?

Well, if you are afraid of a device that transmits vital information so that people can help you, the world of IT is not for you. Throw away your television, your computer, your VCR, and anything else electronic and any system that organizes your life. Never mind the card that you swipe at the grocery store so that data mining can be done as to your shopping habits. It's all around you, get used to it.
