That word mark actually means "brand" (sign) or "stamp" or "impress". So you can certainly be branded with a microchip.Also was just thinking recently, it's a mark, how can it be a microchip?

Strong's Concordance
charagma: a stamp, impress
Original Word: χάραγμα, ατος, τό
Part of Speech: Noun, Neuter
Transliteration: charagma
Phonetic Spelling: (khar'-ag-mah)
Definition: a stamp, impress
Usage: sculpture; engraving, a stamp, sign.
Something to note is that in Greek numbers are represented by letters of the alphabet, and the final 6 of 666 is actually the Greek letter "stigma" (not sigma). And that goes right along with this mark. So whatever the mark will be (and it could have a string of a dozen numbers or more), there will always be a 666 within that mark.
You're a Greek expert? Chip implants are getting quite popular. Coincidence?So if they slip a microchip under the skin, how is that branding when people can't see it?
If we look at the oxford here are the 2 usages of brand or branding as a noun and a verb that could apply, the branding iron has been around and used for a long time, and still done today.
Noun:
an identifying mark burned on livestock or (in former times) criminals or slaves with a branding iron.
Verb:
mark with a branding iron
Both are in line with the original Greek meanings of mark, a stamp, a impress, an engraving, a sign.
Engraving could also be some kind of tattoo.
But the original Greek does not really sound like it's a microchip.
Revelation 13:16-17 (KJV)
16 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: 17 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.

You KNOW?It all depends on the why the mark is being issued. First off I know the church will not be here when the mark is issued so I know the body of Christ is not able to accept the mark of the beast!
It may well be a matter of surviving financially.Satan, in his slow philosophy of gradualism has slowly but surely through many different avenues, conditioning the world to accept the ultimate- the wearing of HIs mark. It is not just a mark to hold a job, but is a sign of accepting the antichrist as Savior and Lord. I am currently teaching on these chapters in Revelation in my church!
Agreed.He will not force the mark on anyone, He gives all the choice- accept the mark and worship him or die! This is the time when God will send the strong delusion so that people will believe the lie!
And those who will execute their own loved ones will believe the lie.When the false prophet in his role as the counterfeit Holy Spirit issues the decree for all to wear teh mark- the counterfeit trinity shows itself in full power and unglory, Satan in heaven (just prior to his being kicked out by Michael), as the counterfeit Father, the antichrist as the counterfeit son, and the false prophet as the counterfeit holy spirit who leads all to worship the false son as the true Holy Spirit leads all to worship the true son. Th emark is the counterfeit sealing of the spirit.
Did you really expect that? The Greek word has a broad meaning, so a microchip can easily be deemed to be the mark.But the original Greek does not really sound like it's a microchip.

What are you trying to prove Josho? Or are you just joshing for the fun of it?Well there is a Greek word for implanted, but it wasn't used in those chapters of Revelation.

We who answer no now when such a mandate does not exist may wish to reflect. Did we also say no to the Vivid mandates when they were active and enforced?

The chip implant, sometimes called RFID, is so advanced now that the implant can be in applied through vaccination.Covid vax is not the mark, has nothing to do with spiritual living, is not talked about in the Bible; "thou shalt not get vax".... Getting vax is for the most part a personal preference. So you can say "yes" to getting the vax, and still know in full confidence that you will say no to a chip that represents the mark! And even if the chip did not represent the mark, I don't like the idea of being tracked.
You, we, know what we're told.I did not say no to Covid mandates and still do not. As a medical worker, I see the benefits of such mandates in controlling pandemics. I also feel mandates to control a pandemic are different than accepting a mark on your forehead or hand as you know exactly what's happening and what it is for.
