The mark of the beast is money.

The Mark of the Beast is a mark. YouTube aside.

Stick to the Bible.

Revelation 13:14-17 KJV
14) 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.
15) 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.
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.

Much love!

No, it is not money. The bible literally says it is a mark on the hand or forehead and controls buying and selling. Even Jesus used money. Did he have the mark?

The Mark of the Beast is a mark.

What mark is it exactly? Is it something physical that needs to be placed on the "right hand" or "forehead?" What is God's definition of the mark in Scripture?

Stick to the Bible.

Agreed!

Revelation 13:14-17 KJV
14) 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.
15) 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.
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.

Who is the "all" the Lord talks about here that will receive the mark? What is buying and selling? With what?

Much love!

No, much wisdom! This is the wisdom of Christ, essential for discerning God's true definition of the mark, the right hand, the forehead, the restrictions on buying and selling, and, of course, the significance of the number 666.

Rev 13:18
(18) 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.

You have the Scriptures, simply receive them as written, in the normal way the language was used at that time.

Much love!

That seems to answer this matter with finality in my thinking.

Much love!

Clearly, you are stonewalling. Are you so fearful to answer with Scripture, as I asked, to prove whether you truly understand what the mark is as God Himself defined it? Your refusal to give an honest, Scripture-based answer only exposes that you do not understand and instead cling to your false interpretation. Do not parade ignorance as if it were wisdom.

Much wisdom!

Do you find your diatribe convincing? I don't. I've already given you the answer. That you don't like it and continue to want to dance around it has no appeal to me.

@ewq1938 mentioned that Jesus likewise used money, and directed His disciples to use money, therefore, your idea that money is the "mark of the beast" cannot be correct.

The mark is exactly what the Bible says it is.

Much love!

Where exactly did you give an answer to me on this short thread alone? Show me, or you will be considered as a false witness. Clearly, you can’t answer my questions honorably—which isn’t surprising. You just can’t handle being criticized for a wrong interpretation. Simple as that.

That you don't like it and continue to want to dance around it has no appeal to me.

It is YOU who are dancing around without answering my questions ON THIS THREAD ALONE.

The mark is exactly what the Bible says it is.

Which brings me back to my initial question I asked you earlier: what exactly is this mark that will be on the right hand or forehead? Do you actually know what it looks like, or is it beyond your spiritual discernment to understand that God’s Word is talking about something with spiritual significance, not just a literal symbol, humm?

Much wisdom!

I don't see how that is a difficult sentence. But I'm not planning on getting into some dispute with you.

Much love!
Wow. So judgmental. I was not looking to get into some dispute. I asked a simple, harmless question. I don't know what you meant by what you said, so I'm asking for clarification. You want me to just guess then? Do you mean to receive the scriptures as written literally or to receive them according to the genre of text that they are written in, whether it be literal, symbolic, metaphorical, poetic, hyperbolic or apocalyptic?

Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall. Hold on!

Actually, it is YOU who has to wear a lifejacket because you keep falling off the boat—every single time you’re asked a simple question, you refuse to answer. The real issue is your pride. You clearly don’t know the answer, and everyone here can see it plainly! So much for your wisdom.

There's that whacked mindset again. Childish, just childish and immature.

Well, I'm not done, and I don't respond to commands made by children.


Brethren in Christ, don't you know what the 'mark of the beast' is SPIRITUALLY related to? It is related to the mark God put upon Cain and his children.

The mark of Cain is not actually about a literal mark on the person, like many think. It is about a certain type of mindset, a rebellious mindset against God on the order of what Satan did in wanting to be his own GOD, which was also how he tempted Eve in God's Garden, telling her she'd be a god, knowing good and evil.

God cursed the ground to Cain so it wouldn't produce, so Cain had to do other kind of work for a living. He became the builder of the 1st city. Can't farm, so gotta' do something else to live. That's but one aspect of the mark of Cain, a builder of cities...

Isa 14:21
21 Prepare slaughter for his children for the iniquity of their fathers; that they do not rise, nor possess the land,
nor fill the face of the world with cities.
KJV

God was speaking that above about Lucifer and his children in that Isaiah 14 Chapter. I'm not saying all peoples living in, or that build cities are the children of Cain either. Yet building cities to create other modes of living because the ground is cursed from farming is the reason Cain built the first city. What do we find in every major big city? High crime, high rates of murder, centers of money controllers and political controllers (wiser than the children of light, etc.), etc.


Cain's children continued in his trait of doing murder (Gen.4). There's yet another aspect of the mark of Cain. They love the idea of murder. Or haven't you wondered why Hollywood communists keep pushing so many TV shows and movies on cable that involve murder and indiscriminate killing? The sons of Cain can't help it, it's in their nature, as it was in Cain's nature.

The sons of Cain are very shrewd, wiser than the children of light... which is another aspect of the mark which gives them a type of protection...

Luke 16:8
8 And the lord commended the unjust steward, because he had done wisely:
for the children of this world are in their generation wiser than the children of light.
KJV

How does all that relate to the 'mark of the beast', buying and selling? It means before one agrees to take the mark of the beast, they must agree to the spiritual aspect of following Satan that it represents. Rev.13:16 says the mark is received IN... the forehead. Whats inside your forehead? Your brain! That points to the mindset I mentioned above. Got to receive that first.
