Is that why cons are pushing the pro-circumcision agenda in the news lately?

the "mark of the beast" is part of a Judeo-Christian prophecy. Prophecies are deliberately vague so that eventually they will be interpreted to have been fulfilled.
Circumcision is also a Jewish custom. As part of the Jewish religion it doesn't make any sense for the "mark of the beast" to refer to it. That would be like saying anyone who hadn't committed adultery, would bear the mark of the beast.
Christians decided to leave the matter of circumcision up to personal preference, that was in the argument between Paul and Barnabas. Paul is real big in Western Christianity because the Romans liked him, for being a roman citizen, and it was the Romans who made the religion widespread. But even though they decided not to require circumcision, they never said anything about it being bad.
If the christians were wrong, and circumcision is in fact evil not just irrelevant, then they couild also very well be wrong about the "mark of the beast" prophecy too, couldn't they?
Basically the answer is No, it's not relevant to any end-of-the-world prophecy. Cons push it because they want kids to grow up in their church, and because most christians practice circumcision, even though it's not required.

mark of the beast was the marks that branded you into the Roman Legions. IVXLCD the roman numerals added up to 666, the numbers of the beast that was the roman empire at the time of Jesus. number of the beast was mistranslated. it was a pural form of the word number the second beast that wanted to be worshipped like the first beast was the Holy Roman Empire (the second beast) both beasts fell as bible Revelation predicted. God the Son of the times new roman font LORD'S GODDESS, saw this as the hidden meanings in the bible. the bible compiled version happened after the fall of the first Roman Empire, thus even knowledge of the second beast, the Holy Roman Empire was known when the bible was compiled. Perhaps the letters of the Gospel were not actually written verbatium by the freinds of Jesus, they would have been long dead before Constantine and society finished the bible as it came to be written. this came to me in a vision. just kidding it just seems obvious.

No, it's not. The mark of the beast has to do with economics--you won't be able to buy or sell without a mark in your hand or forehead.
That having been said, one has to wonder if they're hyping this whole identity theft issue.

What a stupid question. The "mark of the beast"
will be a number (666) on every person who wishes
to be able to buy and sell goods at some point in
the future. If you won't take the number stamped
on your skin, you and your family will probably starve.

Do you have a source? I have no info. stating that from the "cons" and since I am carrying a son I have read about this extensively. The CDC used to try to push it.

You are seriously running out of questions to ask aren't you? So, assuming you're really a man (since you've gone by so many names including Nancy), does this mean you aren't circumcised?

no it reduces HIV and HPV contraction/carriage rates so circumcision is a good thing. why would cons want everyone to have the mark of the beast???

Are you serious dude? I guess I'm a child of the devil if this is the case. I guess it's better than some crazy 666 marking though.

Absurd. I haven't noticed anybody pushing circumcision. Why are you so facinated with this part of the male anatomy?

The african union said it helps with the spread of aids...it was started to help with infection and disease is my limited understanding of it. In America it was traditional with mid american values...My family is kind of 30/30/30 scottish, english, german all the men in my family have it done...besides it look so much coller..
I find it funny that you even see a conservative boogie man under your forskin though...lol
