The Mark of the Beast is the the mark put on the forehead of those who worship the Beast, the symbol of opposition to God. The Beast is the Antichrist, referred to in Rev. 13:18., who is the great antagonist expected by the early Church to set himself up against Christ in the last days before the Second Coming,
According to Rev. 13:16., the Mark of the Beast is the stain of apostasy, regarded as both indelible and inescapable. In other words, it is the unavoidable, permanent mark put on the forehead of those who have worshiped the Beast and have committed themselves to the abandonment of one's religious faith.

Many quote the "666" of the bible.
Before the invention of figures by the Arabs, in the tenth century, letters of the alphabet were used for numbers. The Greeks in the time of Homer, or soon after, are thought by some to have assigned to their letters a numerical value corresponding to their order in the alphabet. If you are familiar with the Greek of the New Testament, an argument can be made that the 666 is an allusion to Emperor Nero. Just as easily an argument can be made that the 666 refers to a "Latin Power" or, the Roman Catholic Church, Julius Caeser Atheus, Luther, and others.
As you can see from the above, there is no consensus on the interpretation.

The Mark of the Beast is a biometric computer chip encoded to your DNA that is smaller than a grain of rice. It is implanted into your skin and becomes your wireless economic identifier with which you buy and sell through electronic commerce.
This technology in its current form is found in the animal tags imbedded in their skin for tracking.
Revelation 13.11-18
"And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.
And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire (lightning) come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by [the means of] those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.
And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.
And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
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."

If you look at any bar code on any item it is split up into 3 groups of 6 and therefore 666 this is what the mark of the beast is and they will make one like this for all humans etc.

the mark of the wild beast according to revelation is 666 which stands for (1) Babylon the great the world empire of false religion (2) Politics or organized government of the world (3) Big business or commercialism, and at the destruction of one arm the other two will weep and lament because no body buys her goods any longer, so the mark of the wild beast is symbolic.The greatest tools that satan is using today, u neither buy or sale unless u belong to the world, but for true christains we heed James 4 v 4.

We don't exactly know what it is. All we know is what scripture tells us. It is a mark on the head or hand, and if you don't have it, you can't buy or sell anywhere in the world. Accepting it is to side with satan, and there is no turning back once you accept it. Your only choice is to run and hide, if you are seen without the mark and dont accept it, they kill you. We are told the mark is the name of the antichrist, or his number.

hi
it is not 666 if it was that obvious everyone would see him now, 666 is gross imperfection because 7 is a perfect number in the bible triple 6s means over exaggerated imperfection and since the whole world is lying in the power of the wicked one the mark is actually clinging to worldly things in a world that is passing away.
