What IS the mark of the beast?

Question

In the Bible a beast is a politicle power or kingdom. The first beast out of the see according to Revelations and Daniel is Rome. So rome is the beast, and the mark??? Roman Catholic Church says that the worshiping on Sundays is her MARK of authority. There you have it, the mark of the beast is Sunday worship, if U love God, you will keep His commandments (JOHN 14:15 If ye love me, keep my commandments.) Christians should worship on the Sabbath

Answer 1

The mark of the beast was originally 616. It was later changed to be 666. Both numbers represent Roman Emperors and have nothing to do with prophesies in Daniel.

As far as your play on the word "MARK", wow, what an absolutely schitzo attempt at trying to create conspiracy out of thin air.

Answer 2

Sunday worship is not the mark of the Beast until it is compelled and enforced by the power/kingdom.

Wecannot work our way to heaven by keeping the Sabbath.

Sunday keepers are the same as Sabbath keepers. There will be both in heaven and Gods people are everywhere, in every church and belief.

JOHN 14:15 If ye love me, keep my commandments which is extends the keeping of the Commandments into acts of unselfish love for everyone.

Thus, will anyone make it into heaven who dispise people who have the mark of the beast? Jesus loved those who crucified and betrayed him.

Only those who purely love will make it into heaven, otherwise it will not be heaven.

Ancient numbering systems used an alpha-numeric method. This is true of the Latin (Roman) system that is still common today: I=1, V=5, X=10, L=50, C=100, D=500, M=1000. Greek and Hebrew follow a similar method where each letter of their alphabets represents a number. The first nine letters represent 1–9.3 The tenth letter represents 10, with the nineteenth letter representing 100 and so on. Since the Book of Revelation is written in a Hebrew context by a Jew with numerous allusions to the Old Testament, we should expect the solution to deciphering the meaning of six hundred and sixty-six to be Hebraic. "The reason clearly is that, while [John] writes in Greek, he thinks in Hebrew, and the thought has naturally affected the vehicle of expression."4

When Nero Caesar's name is transliterated into Hebrew, which a first-century Jew would probably have done, he would have gotten Neron Kesar or simply nrwn qsr, since Hebrew has no letters to represent vowels. “It has been documented by archaeological finds that a first century Hebrew spelling of Nero's name provides us with precisely the value of 666. Jastrow's lexicon of the Talmud contains this very spelling.”5 When we take the letters of Nero's name and spell them in Hebrew, we get the following numeric values: n=50, r=200, w=6, n=50, q=100, s=60, r=200 = 666. “Every Jewish reader, of course, saw that the Beast was a symbol of Nero. And both Jews and Christians regarded Nero as also having close affinities with the serpent or dragon. . . . The Apostle writing as a Hebrew, was evidently thinking as a Hebrew. . . . Accordingly, the Jewish Christian would have tried the name as he thought of the name—that is in Hebrew letters. And the moment that he did this the secret stood revealed. No Jew ever thought of Nero except as ‘Neron Kesar.’”6

Answer 4

You're a Seventh Day Adventist, aren't you?

Read Romans 7 -- we are FREE FROM THE LAW. Jesus is the Lord of the Sabbath and He never commanded that we worship on any particular day of the week.

The mark of the beast isn't Sunday worship, as you've been taught. Instead, the Bible CLEARLY tells us this mark identifies worshippers of the Antichrist. If you really think the AC isn't an actual human being, you haven't read Daniel.

EDIT: Amen, "Bubba!"

Answer 5

the mark of the beast is supposedly a computer chip that will be forced upon all people, and with it you can buy and sell. without you cannot buy or sell.

but I will suggest another explanation. the beast is the church of satan worldwide and is not really a church, but it is a secret society. As God marked Cain in his forehead, the children of adam that Loved Satan more, began to grow and multiply beyond the numbers of the children of adam. They turned a mark in the forehead into a curse against the children of God. The children of adam who would not accept the mark at the hands of cain and all the evil people that worshipped satan were rejected and people would not do business with such people that would not accept it.

the mark of the beast has been around since the days of noah, and it is a conspiracy to defy God. Men of God who have this mark are hunted like prey and tortured and terrorized, as long as they dont accept. it had nothing to do with computer chips throughout all history. It exists today everywhere.

Answer 6

The mark of the Beast is the institution of a worldwide financial control system. Revelation says that "No man will be able to buy or sell save he have the mark." Without swearing allegiance to the Antichrist's world order system, you won't have any financial bearing; no job, no money, no means with which to provide for you family. What will be the physical manifestation be? Possibly a microchip of sorts imbedded in our hands or foreheads that we scan every time we process a personal transaction of any kind.

Answer 7

Since Satan is an angel, how about an angel?
A fallen angel of course.
The "mark" will be used in the Tribulation.
I would strongly recommend that unbelievers left behind after the "exit-resurecction" (aka Rapture) DO NOT TAKE THE MARK OF THE BEAST.
It takes one second of time to believe in Jesus Christ.
Faith alone in Christ Alone guarantees eternal life.
Beheading by a guillotine, will not hurt at all.
When Christians die they are absent from the body and face to face with the Lord.
Peace out.

Answer 9

The Mark of the Beast is known in the vernacular as 666, a trend started by Aleister Crowley in the last century and thereafter misused in various horror films. Crowley used it to tease those who misunderstood him.

Answer 10

As I understand it, the mark of the beast is 666. Those who take the mark of the beast will belong to that kingdom or power.
