No, but I know what it's referring to. The “Mark” is the mark of the beast, and the “Beast” is the Roman Empire. The word mark in Revelations is from charagma. A charagma is a stamp or a badge or an imprinted mark. A brand used by Romans was also called a charagma. These marks always indicated ownership or service. Some employed servants or slaves were very wealthy because of their skills and position. Their Charagma would identify their status, occupation or use. This was all for those who required evidence of your status. It was a form of official identification required in order to travel unmolested by the Roman authorities, although it was originally issued by private or local authorities, but over time, Rome went from a republic to an Empire. All it's saying is to not get the Roman Mark.

Yes I do. I've seen it, and I've used a prototype on dogs. It's very effective and will one day become mandatory for humans. Right now it is primarily voluntary, unless you are a member of certain US military forces. Yes, I am talking about the micro-chip device that is inserted beneath the skin. It's powered by a small lithium battery that has a life of over 250 (estimated) years. It can be tracked by satellite, just like our cell phones. It has the capacity to store every bit of data to reflect an individuals entire economic, scholastic, and medical history, as well as complete identification data of the individual, without every running out of storage space.
Beware of the mark. He that accepts it, is eternally doomed, by choice.
God bless you and keep you

I believe it is going to happen. Because Jesus said it would happen.
But I won't take a mark in the back of my hand or forhead that is an image or number of the beast.

The "Mark" of the Beast? Didn't this same Mark write one of the 4 gospels?!

Regarding the mark of the beast
I care for it not in the least
I won't even quote it
The fellow who wrote it
(I'm grateful to say) is deceased.;

Since I believe the Bible I'm going to have to say yes, but I'm not sure that it is around yet. I'm really hoping I won't be around when things get that bad.

Nope. People have been predicting the End Times for millennia. It's not happening, and niether are the wacky predictions of some Levantine stoner.

some say it will be a computer chip that will be implanted on people, that could happen in the future, I saw a story on how we one day will be able to interact with computers if we get a chip installed in our skins but that is in the futuer if it ever happends
