Revelation 13:16-18, -- Part 2 of 3
... So where so many theories work using one methodology, for one solution, I would observe that the TRUE solution has multiple confirmations. So please allow the following respective solutions:
1. "no man can buy or sell"
2. "without the mark"
3. "of the beast"
The second part of the solution is the "mark", -- where my participation began in this Topic. For you see, it's NOT a single "hand" entity, (which virtually every theory conforms to), but rather the interdependent association of the "hand" and "forehead": "
a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads". Thus you should ask what that interdependency consists of, being that it's NOT a
fingerprint; it's NOT for their right
and left hands; it's NOT for their left hand; and it coincides with their forehead.
So looking at current technology, we know that the "palm scan" is common in industry. It simply measures the size of your palm and fingers, and confirms your identity. In fact some peoples are sufficiently symmetrical to allow the left hand to be placed palm up, to confirm your identity, but others do not have sufficient symmetry.
Accordingly we should recognize this technology as a strong candidate for this prophecy, but what of the forehead?
As most people who work in a security environment already know, there are three basic means of access. The first is typically a "badge" or "pin number" entry. The second is equivalent, and consists of the palm scan. The third is typically reserved for high security access, and consists of a retnal scan. And of course the eyes are in the "forehead".
Thus the simple association of the right hand and the forehead. :)
