How long has the mark of the beast existed?

Question

while studying the book of mormon and the topic of the curse of cain, and the darkened skin, i noticed that the exact same mark that was given by God to Cain, was given to many people in the days of noah. both before and after the flood.
While i know christians will reject this because its not biblical, LET me testify that i came to this conclusion without ever studying these books and the fine details. Before i knew it could be true i was already teaching that the mark of the beas is already here, clearly there are many people throughout history that have publickly pronounced their allegiance to the mark of the beast, and it does not necessarily have to be a computer chip in the forehead, OH ? btw! the chip already exists today, its just not in mass production, nor is it a manditory law.
andother side note: just in the last 6 months, there were attempts made to change the law of capital punishment that lethal injection and hanging are considered to be cruel and unusual punishment

on the radio i heard someone say that beheading is not a cruel punishment, so he was trying to get it changed to that, again it says that those who do not accept the mark fo the beast will be beheaded.
I have come to a minor conclusion that the mark of the beast has indeed been around in various forms ever since God put a mark on cain, but cain had all his followers put the same mark in their foreheads. and the mark has to go on the right hand, if the choice is given.
So? who in america can be saved? unless they are being raptured as soon as they become worthy?

Answer 1

the only Mark Of The Beast i know is in revelation and no where else so i think it came during the christian era.
i know what the mark is, it is plainly there in revelation. check it out.

Answer 2

Some may say that raptures are actually abductions. The mark of the beast can have many interpretations. One being our temperament or violent tendencies. It could also be implants by these alleged extraterrestrials or fallen angels etc. It could also be a virus that infects certain people and makes them hosts to be easily manipulated by fear and paranoia and at any given time. Remember the goats or sheep that would all fall down to the ground? This is also in your Bible.If this virus was spread from person to person by secondary contacts or infected products than buying or selling would inevitably infect you. Don't be so sure that you have interpreted this correctly as there are several ways to interpret or fulfill prophecies. Remember that these so-called fallen are much smarter than most people. Typically most aren't aware of these things until it is already too late. These people have always had advanced technologies long before we could understand them as being anything other than magic or miracles. Remember that you will know them by their works? You may have been chosen and or asked at the tender age of three or five and don't yet remember it either. So much for your free will and innocence. Keep thinking about it. Not everything you read or understand is gospel. There are those who have added and taken away. Consider all books of the Bible as well. Remember the Book of Enoch and his warnings. Many miracles and works are from gaining certain knowledge and or "Gifts" of sight and healings. The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away, be it truth and or lies also. Who "IS" your Lord is the real question. What exactly and who exactly is the true Messiah? Jesus it has been said had already known every detail of his impending suffering and death and prayed all night long over it trembling in fear and sweating blood.

Answer 3

First of all the Book of Mormon is THE most racist and erroneous body of religious literature ever fabricated. Little wonder why you think that the curse of Cain was darkened skin.Haven't you ever wondered how the ancient people of the Bible could be white while the Old Testament geographical locations are all in Africa and Asia? Any good Biblical dictionary will tell you that "Adam" means "dark red" and "hard black". So if Adam and his sons and daughters were dark red and black how could his son Cain be turned black? If his curse was in the changing of his skin color than he was cursed by being turned white, since he was already a dark skin man. Remember that absolutely NONE of the Old Testament story takes place in Europe!!! The setting is in Africa and the middle East. Neither was Ham turned black, he was already black. Every prophet from Adam to Muhammad was black with the exception of Jesus. Jesus was a light complexion man who God raised up among the European Greeks and Romans who were conquers of Jerusalem during the era of Jesus the Messiah of God.

Answer 4

Cain was shown Mercy, and the Mark set on him was a guarantee of that Mercy, not a brand of condemnation. the beast, not GOD, gives his own mark, while GOD marks HIS own with a Sacred mark. Since what the Mark of Cain was, being not the mark of the beats, is slightly off topic, if you are at all curious about what the Mark of Cain is, leave me a message at my Yahoo e-mail box, at [e-mail]

Answer 5

I didn't quite catch it. What is supposed to be the mark of the beast?

I can only think of one group that is beheading people.
