I'm not sure this is correct.

If you look for what the Symbols of Revelation depict, instead of looking for the symbols to appear, you can see greater examples of this in history. Especially in the Papacy.I'm not sure this is correct.
This may be the Amillennial position, but it is simply NOT TRUE.The entire book of Revelation is symbolic.
Of course, the symbol stands for total control by Satan.The mark of the beast is a symbol.
But this is the case throughout history, ever since Nero and the Papacy, Christians suffered and died from not receiving the mark
Hello to all. This is my first post here. Please watch this video about the technology of the dark hour that will soon be upon us.
This presentation is promoting Jesuit ideas. Are you catholic?Hello to all. This is my first post here. Please watch this video about the technology of the dark hour that will soon be upon us.
No, but most all of the Reformed creeds identify the papacy as Antichrist in writing.You wouldn't happen to be SDA, would you Dave?
Jesus was Amillennial. People add to the book of Revelation every waking moment reading physical news items, micro chips, Jewish fables, etc., into it.This may be the Amillennial position, but it is simply NOT TRUE.
As to the the Mark of the Beast, there will be a real mark on each person as stated in Revelation, and it is more than likely that current or future technology will be used to apply this mark (possibly an implant).
It is also more than likely that even though all the identification numbers will be individualized, they will incorporate 666 either as a prefix or a suffix. Since the Greek letter stigma is one of those 6s, this mark will be a stigma on each one who takes it, and they all will be damned.
Since Jesus gave the words of Revelation to John, and Jesus revealed the Millennium to John in Revelation 20, you have seriously misrepresented Jesus.Jesus was Amillennial.
There's nothing to "add". The Bible says that the Mark of the Beast will be applied during the reign of the Antichrist (which is yet future). We know that modern technology has already begun implanting microchips in people. Therefore it is more than reasonable to conclude that the Antichrist will be using modern technology in this connection, as well as in communicating his directives to the whole worldPeople add to the book of Revelation every waking moment reading physical news items, micro chips, Jewish fables, etc., into it.
There is no millennium in Revelation 20. This is what I'm talking about. People drag Jewish physical kingdom ideas into it and use the rest of the book as a giant Rorschach test along with their TV and favorite news sources.Since Jesus gave the words of Revelation to John, and Jesus revealed the Millennium to John in Revelation 20, you have seriously misrepresented Jesus.

The only problem with that idea is that the thousand years is bookended with the two resurrections - the resurrection of the just when Jesus comes gloriously and the resurrection of the damned at the end of the millennium, so what point is there of a Mark after Jesus comes?Hello,
If we read Revelation. 20:4-6, we read that at the beginning of the 1,000 year period when Satan and his cohorts are imprisoned in the bottomless pit, the saint who have lost their heads and have also not received the mark, will become Priests with Christ in Heaven for 1,000 years.
The mark of the beast mentioned in Revelation. 13:11-18 does not occur until the Bottomless pit is unlocked by the angel after the 1,000 years of their imprisonment is over.
This suggests to me that from the time of Christ, until the beginning of the next age when Satan is imprisoned in the bottomless pit for a period of time, that it is possible to receive the mark. If that is the case, then the present day technology is not required to achieve this outcome. So any long winded debate on whether or not the present day technology is needed to insert a mark on those who willingly worship Satan, if futile to say the least. It is the state of the heart that determines if we have received the mark of the beast or not.
Shalom

Notice the mark is a symbol for allegiance:
“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:” (Revelation 13:16)
Compare with:
“And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father’s name written in their foreheads.” (Revelation 14:1)
It says that "he" subjected them to RECEIVE a mark. That doesn't sound symbolic, it sounds like a literal thing that is being given.
Do you think that the technology doesn't exist (it does) or that the evil vision of creating a cashless digital global system isn't something that the antichrist wants??
Welcome to the forum.It is undeniably a literal physical mark of some kind, as it is designated to grant financial powers particularly. In addition to this, comparing the contexts of the two chapters doesn't subvert this view as we should not be surprised that the anti-Christ will have a physical counterpart to Christ's spiritual provisions, as all things Satan works is by and in the flesh against the Spirit, and vice versa.
This makes me think of persons that are having chips implanted in their hands to get into their home, etc. This is happening in Australia.It is undeniably a literal physical mark of some kind, as it is designated to grant financial powers particularly.

Remember, John is speaking about a vision. Do you expect to see any green horses or red dragons too?It is undeniably a literal physical mark of some kind, as it is designated to grant financial powers particularly.

What did you think of my post no. 38?Remember, John is speaking about a vision. Do you expect to see any green horses or red dragons too?
