The mark of the beast is a term used in the Bible, specifically in the book of Revelation, to describe an end-times identification required by the Antichrist in order to buy or sell. It will be given only to those who worship the Antichrist
. The main passage in the Bible that mentions the "mark of the beast" is Revelation 13:15-18, with other references found in Revelation 14:9, 11, 15:2, 16:2, 19:20, and 20:4
. The mark is literally placed in the hand or forehead and is not simply a card someone carries
. There are different interpretations of the mark of the beast, including:
- An implanted chip or RFID microchip
- An ID card or barcode tattooed into the skin
- A mark that identifies someone as being faithful to the Antichrist's kingdom
The mark of the beast is closely tied to the worship of the Beast and represents loyalty and devotion to the Antichrist
. It is believed that the mark will be required for all commerce and could be a precursor to God's wrath
. However, it is essential to note that having a medical or financial microchip inserted into your right hand or forehead is not the mark of the beast. The mark of the beast will be given only to those who worship the Antichrist
