What is the Beast Mark

Is the truth about the mark of the beast important?  Ask different professing Christians and you will get a different answer from them.  There are many people who are trying to find out the truth about the beast mark, but unfortunately they are looking in the wrong place.  And yet the majority of professing Christians are not even bothered about this important issue.  Why?  Because they have no interest in Bible prophecy and therefore don't know anything about the mark, other than what the mainstream teaching is, that the beast mark is a chip of some sort, or an ID card.  But let me say from the very beginning that the mark is NOT going to be a chip or ID card, or any other technology for that matter, and in this website I will show you what the TRUE mark of the beast will be.

"The mark of the beast will NOT be a chip or any technology device"

If you take a look at the who is the antichrist website, you will find out that the main beast of Revelation 13 is none other than the Roman Catholic Church.  So what is the mark?  It must be the mark of the Roman Catholic Church.  Now saying that, let's quickly look at this theory of the mark being a chip or some sort of technology.  There is one big problem with this theory which most Christians ignore.  If you were given a chip or ID card or whatever, and yet you carried on serving God with all your heart and soul and kept His commandments, would you have the mark of the beast and therefore go into hell fire?  Of course not!  How could God reject you for just receiving a chip or ID, even though you are still loving, obeying and serving Him?  It's not possible.  The only way to receive the mark is to go against God and His Commandments, and follow the beast instead of God.  Could a chip or ID card be used by the beast to keep track of people in the end times?  Yes, but it won't be the mark itself.

God is not concerned with material things, afterall, He is a Spirit and is concerned with spiritual matters.  He is concerned with how we worship Him, because He is seeking those who worship in spirit and truth.  Please think very carefully about this issue, so that you will not be deceived like so many will be.  The real mark of the beast is a spiritual mark that is received as a result of us going against God and His law.  It cannot be a physical mark.  Please understand this, the mark cannot be a physical one.  Take a look at what the result of receiving this mark will be:

Revelation 14:9-10 .....'And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, the same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb.' ..... Did you see what it said?  The angel represents God's messengers on earth, and they are saying that it is to do with WORSHIP!  Anyone who worships the beast and receives it's mark.  Therefore those who receive the beast's mark will be those who worship and follow the beast (Roman Catholic Church) instead of God.  And they will be thrown into the lake of fire.  The world has a choice to make in the last days, and the choice is to either obey God, or obey satan and his beast.

God's Law and the Mark of the Beast

How do we know that receiving the mark of the beast is a result of going against God's law? ..... Revelation 14:12 .....'Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.' ..... Straight after the third angel warns of receiving the beast's mark, he announces that those who don't receive the mark are those who are KEEPING GOD's COMMANDMENTS and the faith of Jesus.  In other words, the true church of God are those who follow in Jesus footsteps, and what did Jesus say? ..... John 15:10 .....'If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love.' ..... Are we not to follow Jesus?  The sad thing is, the truth of God's law has been cast down by satan and many professing Christians are deceived into thinking that keeping God's Ten Commandments is not important.

Now we know from Revelation 13 that the beast's mark is received either in the forehead or in the hand ..... Revelation 13:16 .....'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.' ..... There is also another set of people that have a mark on their foreheads ..... Revelation 14:1 .....'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.' ..... So during the last days we have two sets of people.  One with the mark of the beast and one with God's name written on their foreheads.  Now will these people be walking around with a literal mark on their foreheads, or the name of God actually written on their foreheads?  I don't believe so, I believe these marks will be spiritual ones.  Remember, the book of Revelation is full of symbolic language.  Take the harlot women for instance in Revelation 17:3,5 .....'and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast.  And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.' ..... Is this going to be a literal prostitute riding a literal beast with those names on her forehead?  Of course not, this is symbolic, just like the mark of the beast and the seal of God.

You will notice from Revelation 13 that the beast has a number, and that number is 666.  It also says that the number is the 'number of a man'.  For the origins of that mysterious number 666, see mark of the beast.

Is there any significance to receiving the mark in the forehead or hand?  Yes there is, which we can see from the following Old Testament scripture:

Deuteronomy 6:6-8 .....'And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart: And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up. And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes.'

Deuteronomy 11:8,18 .....'Therefore shall ye keep all the commandments which I command you this day, that ye may be strong, and go in and possess the land, whither ye go to possess it.  Therefore shall ye lay up these my words in your heart and in your soul, and bind them for a sign upon your hand, that they may be as frontlets between your eyes.'

What does it mean to bind God's Words, His law upon their hands and foreheads?  God wasn't asking them to literally write them on their hands and heads, He wanted them to keep His Commandments in their minds to stop them from sinning.  And the hand represents the actions.  So if the people had the mark of His law in their hands and foreheads, then it meant that they were keeping God's law in their minds spiritually, the way Jesus taught us, and their actions showed that they were keeping God's Commandments.

Hebrews 10:16 .....'This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them.' ..... God would 'seal' His law in the hearts of His people, and they would be the one's keeping the Bible ten Commandments and would not be deceived into receiving the mark of the beast.

Isaiah 8:16 .....'Bind up the testimony, seal the law among my disciples.'

The Beast Mark and the Seal of God

Remember, end times prophecy reveals that we would have two groups of people during the last days?  One group of people with the seal of God, and the other group with the mark of the beast.  In other words, we will have one group who will yield their minds and actions to the beast, and have the beast's mark, and another group that will yield their minds and actions to God and have God's seal, or His name spiritually written in their foreheads.  To understand this further, we need to find out what the truth is about the name of God.  Is it just a set of words, or does it have a deeper meaning to it?  Take a look at Exodus 34:5-7 .....'And the LORD descended in the cloud, and stood with him there, and proclaimed the name of the LORD.  And the LORD passed by before him, and proclaimed, The LORD, The LORD God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abundant in goodness and truth, keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, and that will by no means clear the guilty; visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, and upon the children's children, unto the third and to the fourth generation.'

Do you see the truth about the name of God in the above verses?  God proclaimed His Name to Moses on Mount Sinai, but God didn't tell Moses to command people to use certain words for His Name, no, He proclaimed His Name to be His CHARACTER! - merciful, gracious, forgiving, longsuffering etc.  God reveals that the 'name of the Lord' is His character, Just as Jesus confirmed ..... John 17:6 .....'I have manifested thy name unto the men which thou gavest me out of the world: thine they were, and thou gavest them me; and they have kept thy word.' ..... Jesus didn't just go around pronouncing the 'name of God' in the correct way, He displayed God's character in His life.  So now we can see that when it says in Revelation that the one group of people have God's name in their foreheads, it means that God's character has become a deep part of their lives, thinking and actions.  The same way as the other group of people have given their thoughts and actions to the beast and receive the beast's mark.

As we mentioned earlier, the sea beast in Revelation 13 is the Papal Church of Rome (Roman Catholic Church), and the mark of the beast is the mark of the Roman Catholic Church.  Take a look at the following interesting quotes from the Catholic Church:

"Of course the change (from Sabbath to Sunday) was her act ..... and the act is a MARK of her ecclesiastical power and authority in religious matters."  (signed by H.F.Thomas, Chancellor for Cardinal Gibbons, in a letter dated Nov. 11, 1895)

"Sunday is our MARK of authority ..... the church is above the Bible, and this transference of Sabbath observance is proof of that fact."  (Catholic record of London, Ontario, Sept. 1, 1923)

So the Roman Catholic Church believe that changing the Sabbath Day from the seventh day to the first is her "MARK" of authority.  The Roman Catholic Church is also the little horn power in Daniel that "thinks to change times and laws" (Daniel 7:25).

On the next page you will find an interesting connection between the mark of the beast and the Sabbath Day.
