There has been a lot of talk among prophecy buffs about the EXPONENTIAL advances in technology today and the upcoming “Mark of the Beast” (Rev. 13:16-18). Many believe that we are living in the very days in which we - as a world - will see the horrific fulfillment of this “chip” technology, which will be applied under the global edict of Satan’s Anti Christ (Rev. 13).
The micro-chipping of humans with RFID chips is a vision that secular utopians hold dear (Psalm 2: 2-3, Rom. 1:18-32). To them it will be the ultimate act of power and despotic control. By this chip these believe that they can control and manage the human population of the world and then enter a utopian age where technology is god and mankind’s savior. By this chip the secular utopian elites believe that they could eliminate currency, control ones actions, monitor one’s health and existence in an ever techno evolving world. The bottom line in this technological vision is not to help mankind but to control the world for their delusional utopian visions. What they have not calculated on is the heart of fallen mankind and what is yet to be (Rev. 6-19).
The micro-chipping of humans with RFID chips is a vision that the secular utopians hold dear. To them it will be the ultimate act of power and despotic control.
Because of today’s technological advances mankind has become addicted, crippled and helpless in the basics of life’s functions.

Once the seven year tribulation period begins the words, CATASTROPHIC, HORRENDOUS, HORRIFIC, RAVISHED, DEVASTATION and DEATH will take on EXPONENTIAL terms and levels (Isa. 24:5-6, Rev. 6-16). So HORRIFIC, so CATASTROPHIC will this time be that practically no technological advances will survive or be accessed and implemented by the majority of the world's surviving individuals. There will be absolutely NO electricity, power, refrigeration and access to technology etc… etc… The world at this time will be cut off from all that has made it move and the inhabitants of the earth will be pleading for dire help and aid no matter what the cost no matter what the sacrifice. The world’s global inhabitants will turn from technological addiction and dependency to a crippling detoxing. This technological withdrawal will reveal man's crippling weakness and dependency to technology and also reveal their colossal ignorance on how to take care of ones self with life’s basic skills to survive.
The Example and Projection
Last fall, we here in New England had a pre-winter snow, which crippled our region for many days. As a result of this devastating storm there was no power, no cell towers, no landlines, no heat, no electricity, no gas, no food and in some places no water. For a week we had no electricity and our manner of living was reduced to applying simple and practical skills to just survive. It was a big eye opener in light of how dependent we are to the technological advances of our day. It was during this week that the Lord opened my eyes and I was able to project this basic catastrophe to global proportions to when the Day of God’s wrath will cover the whole world (Rev. 6-16). If we as a little region were crippled by just a snowstorm can you just imagine what the EXPONENTIAL devastation of the Seal and Trumpet judgments will do to the entire world? Just read for yourselves and project the best that you can about that time and ask yourself this question. What can ever be left after such horrific global devastation? Mankind will be placed into a blender and whatever was once recognizable will not be. My dear friends, this is just the FIRST half of the seven year tribulation! Let’s take a look.
Mankind will be placed into a blender and whatever was once recognizable will not be. My dear friends, this is just the FIRST half of the seven year tribulation!
50% of the world’s population will be decimated by war, pestilence and famine (Rev. 6, 8).
1/3 of all the world’s vegetation, topographical land masses, rivers and oceans will be catastrophically wasted and marred beyond all imagination (Rev. 8).
Massive earthquakes will rock the world (Rev. 6:12, Rev. 11:13).
Demonic possession will control, torture and ravish the minds of the world’s remaining rebellious inhabitants of this time (Rev. 9).
All of these HORRIFIC CATASTROPHIC events will precede the Mark of the Beast (Rev. 6-9). Please tell me how after all of this EXPONENTIAL DEVASTATION and global anarchy that follows that there will be any order or technology left to enforce the RFID chip under the Anti Christ’s 3 1/2 reign? Anarchy will reign supreme and after the Anti Christ’s death and resuscitation he will enforce global Marshall Law and then institute his new world order, global worship and his 666 global state (Rev. 11:7, Rev.13).
It is my personal belief that the “Mark of the Beast” will be just that… a mark not the IFID chip. This position is not as exciting as the RFID “Mark of the Beast” chip theory, but these are the realities. The RFID perspective deceives the world and today’s believers that there will be technological advances left after Revelation 6-9 takes place and keeps them ignorant and limited of just how EXPONENTIALLY horrific this time will be. Many prophetic “scholars” ignorantly leave out the realities of Revelation 6-9 and lack and forsake the total objective perception as to what transpires during this horrific period leading up to the Mark of the Beast.
The RFID perspective deceives the world and today’s believers that there will be technological advances left after Revelation 6-9 takes place and keeps them ignorant and limited of just how EXPONENTIALLY horrific this time will be.
The Mark of the Beast will be a “mark” on the fore head or right hand with the beast’s number 666 (Rev. 13:16-18). The Greek word for “mark” means to sculpture; engraving, a stamp, sign. It does not at all give reference to an implanting.
My dear friends for us who know the Lord as Savior we will not be here to find out for the Lord will call His ambassadors out before the Day of the Lord begins. But for a world that will be left only EXPONENTIAL catastrophe, anguish, suffering and tyranny await them (Rev. 6-19).
My dear friend, do not deceive and lie unto yourselves into believing that the Mark of the Beast and these Last Day biblical prophecies will never come to be.
If you are reading this post today and KNOW NOT the Lord Jesus Christ as your personal Savior MAY YOU BE SURE THAT YOU DO. My dear friends, do not deceive and lie unto yourselves into believing that the Mark of the Beast and these Last Day biblical prophecies will never come to be (2 Peter 3:3), for as sure as the sun will rise Almighty God's Day of reckoning will be.

The Mark of the Beast is selfishness. Notice the 3 sets of 6 identifiers:
2 Timothy 3:2-4
“For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents (6), unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control (6), brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God” (6).
Keep this in mind: No symbol in the Bible ever has just one meaning when found in an overall context. There are interrelated meanings. We need to see the overall context to then see the overall meaning. Step back and look.
Genesis 3 is the fruit of knowledge. What is produced by knowledge? Technology. Now we have two symbols. Technology and selfishness. Selfishness is in the eye and hand. We look and take and cannot get enough.
It takes three witnesses. Carbon is the mark of mankind and of life. Carbon has 6 protons, 6 electrons and 6 neutrons. Our technology is produced with and from carbon. Fossil fuel is produced from Carbon manipulation. Carbon is killing the air we breathe (Breath).
Nitrogen and Oxygen make up the breath God gave us to share his word. Nitrogen has 7 protons, 7 electrons and 7 neutrons. Oxygen is 888. 777 is the heptadic mark in scripture as God's signature. Notice how Monster Energy Drink blasphemes this with it's mark of three Hebrew Vav. Vav is the 6th letter of the Hebrew Alphabet. 888 is Jesus in Greek Gematria. Literally, we use the breath (Word of God) to overcome the beast. Who is the beast that monster energy drinks says to unleash?
You and me. The beast will be on three levels. Individual, National and Global. We will fight the final beast of Mystery Babylon. Mystery means the Pagan Mysteries and Babylon represents Sodom and commerce. Who are they? The beast which rises from the abyss are the False Priests, Moneychangers and the Builders (Masons who rejected the capstone). They follow the Pagan Mysteries.
Revelation 9 says their Lord was crucified in Egypt. The word 'Their' is not referring to the witnesses. It is referring to Mystery Babylon that dies in the city center, comes to life and then goes to God in judgment. Most people think that the witnesses die and then come to life. Not the case. Mystery Babylon is instantly destroyed when they rise. Christ is then revealed. Osiris is their Lord. Mystery Babylon and Pagan Mysteries of Isis and Osiris. I never knew why it said that their Lord was crucified (chopped in pieces) in Egypt and Sodom. Now we all know.

I would love to write this article in detail for your blog.
And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever, and they have no rest day or night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name(Rev.14:11). If you find yourself left behind after the rapture, you can see by this verse the importance of not taking the mark of the Beast. It is infineately better to die in Christ and go to eternal rest in heaven, than to gain an extra 3 1/2 years of terrible tribulation on earth and then be cast into the lake of fire forever at the last judgement. "It is a faithful saying: For if we be dead with him, we shall also live with him: If we suffer, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he will also deny us (Timothy 2:11-12). God has offered us a way to avoid the terrible times ahead and a way to live in complete love and happiness for all eternity in His glorious kingdom. We must simply repent of our sins and accept Jesus Christ and His death on the cross for our sins and believe in his ressurection. Please do not delay,the prophetic signs indicate the rapture could come at any moment. God bless.

An engraving is... in. I know a lot of people with tatts. The ink is engraved... (in). Connect the dots kid... After Rev. 6-9 there will be nothing left. Study it for years and hundreds of hours and then let me know what you come up with. You have to go much deeper in the Word than repeating prophecy talking points.
"in" Christ,
I.F.
islam's bismallah is the mark of the beast. There's no need to guess. Check the islamic bismallah against John's writing of the mark.
nice sanitation of comments. WHY? Isaiah 54-17, remember im your brother. Offence was warrented, your personal trap, attack on me was not.
We disagree that the catastrophes
will be before the mark. I'll look again, but I thought the mark is one of the things that set those in motion.
My jury is still out on the mark.
But what ever it turns out to be, the Book does say without it there will be no buying or selling.
So the mark has to be more than just a spiritual thing or character trait, like selfishness. Selfishness does not affect one's commerce. Unselfish people can still go to the store. :-)
Going by The Word, the mark would have to be a combination of spiritual allegiance & some kind of physical control over commerce. Our individual commerce.
At this juncture, RFID chipping looks like the mark. If one takes it, spiritually they will be giving allegiance to the NWO & the power behind it.
Physically, an RFID chip would be the only way to buy or sell.
If a Christian thinks they can take the mark & be OK because they are 'once saved always saved', you may want to read the Amplified NT. Any good translation will do, but the Amp. brings out the larger meanings of many original words that are lost in a one word for one word translation.
Hebrews 6:4-6 is a good example. You can read it in the Amplified at biblegateway.com
If a Christian takes the mark, they would be transferring their allegiance from Christ to the system.
If you believe you won't be here for that scenario take careful heed. If we are not, fine by me.
But since Yeshua Himself gave us the parable of the wheat & tares...He said that He would raise up His own at the last day...that he that endures to the end will be saved...that no one knows the day or hour...He said we would face those in high authority [kings & govs]& that His Spirit would speak through us...what was it He said about not loving our lives even to death?
Just be ready to face the system & reject the mark when it comes. If we are gone, fine. If we are not, will YOU have enough oil???
We need a strong as we can build relationship with Father. We must know His word & be walking in His Spirit. If that's so for you, you have nothing to fear.
He will keep His own. HOW is the Q.
Three in the furnace. One in the lion's den. Kid's sling kills a giant. Peter & Paul, prison gates open...witness to a guy in a chariot & get translated some where else. Paul floating in the ocean, got bit by snake later. Lotta examples of Father's keeping power & those were examples of His own who were still here on earth.
Trust the Lord with your life. Let what comes, come. He IS able.
In Yeshua,

This may sound silly what happens to my animals when I am taken up.
Not at all! Firstly you will be ETERNALLY consumed in the moment when you see the Savior face to face in all His wonder and you will be ETERNALLY Changed FOREVERMORE (1 John 3:1-4). Also Animals, families, marriage, etc are for time and not ETERNITY. This is hard to conceived since we are humans and live in time (Rev. 21-22).
Our pets and human relationships are for time only... I hope this helps for I know we get very attached to these relationships but when we see the big picture by faith it comforts our hearts.

All technology will not be crippled I hate to say, just read:
Revelation 13:8 (ESV) and all who dwell on earth will worship it, everyone whose name has not been written before the foundation of the world in the book of life of the Lamb who was slain.
Without the television, internet, and all forms of communications that exist today there is no way that the above verse would be capable of being fulfilled.
That technology will take allot of hits during the tribulation is no joke with the earth quakes and all. But then again too many verses state the whole earth not 1 country, not a group etc, but the whole earth.
Revelation 11:10 Revelation 13:8 (ESV) and all who dwell on earth will worship it, everyone whose name has not been written before the foundation of the world in the book of life of the Lamb who was slain.
How would the whole earth dwellers know that these 2 witnesses were dead unless CNN or what ever news outlet was right there broadcasting it to the whole world???
It's easy to see in your personal life that without electricity things really are difficult, but in order for you to make a claim that tech will be gone is to call the scriptures a liar and that my friend is simply going against Deuteronomy 4:2 (ESV) You shall not add to the word that I command you, nor take from it, that you may keep the commandments of the LORD your God that I command you.
Don't write something from a worldly view point but rather take into account the whole word of God so that you eschew only God's word and not your own personal thoughts.
Riddle me this... If the whole earth sees the death & resurection of the 2 witnesses and has a big party celebrating this event, how can this be done without television???
"They of"... And they of the people and kindreds and tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies three days and an half, and shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves. Rev. 1:9-11.. The invading armies will relay the news to their nations.. by some means of technology.. but do the math my friend, what is really left of the world after the Seal and Trumpet Judgments... riddle me that!
Shalom!
David
Wow Arther! don't be a hater!... lol
You think it through my friend and add some Seal and Trumpet Judgment EXPONENTIAL depth to it son! Then let me know what you come up with.
Shalom!
David
No hate brother. Just want you to see that until the technology we currently have came into existence, there was no way men could travel the world to and frow etc. Planes have enabled us to do that, along with trains, cars, etc. You know technology that all requires electricity. Satellites will not be taken out in an earthquake, volcanic eruption, tsunami etc... Plague won't wipe out telecommunications. Famine will not wipe out electrical. War nuclear exchanges may darken areas of the earth making the area uninhabitable... But for the whole world to know in a moment the 2 witnesses have been killed and their bodies seen by all and the earth dwellers able to rejoice as one... Unless the only place left on the planet habital is a very small area... I just can't see how you'd think all the tech today would not still be in play even after 6 billion people are killed off. I agree loss of electrical is going to be a major factor in certain moments and times during the tribulation period and no one knows truly just how horrific the time is going to be, people begging for death but it will not come, hiding in caves asking the rocks to fall down on them to hide them from the great wrath of God etc... But some how you've got all this scripture about no man being able to buy sell trade etc... unless they have the mark of the beast and there has to be a centralized tracking system that works so well you can't barter or trade etc without it being put into some form of a traceable system. I am told by my wife constantly that I come off when I speak or type to strong etc... God truly did not gift me with a huge helping of sympathy nor compassion so I apologize if I came across abrupt or even rude to you sir. That is not my intent of the remark/comment. I just wanted you to think through scripturally speaking that things the Bible professes are going to come to pass and the only way the whole world would know instantly is for the existing technology to still be in play.
We can just agree to disagree on the tech... I truly believe that for the "common people" tech may very well be hard to come by, but , as the Lord in in control, I believe that communication will still be available. If not for all, then at least for the elite. And if that be true, then for the educated masses.
The horror will be for those who count on it from their waking moment to the minute they fall asleep. Where, in scripture, does it say all of man's knowledge will be lost? Is that not, in part, the idols they worship? There are details that, very simply, are not written about. And if we "speculate" are we not just as bad as those who "add to" the words of God?
The blessed hope is why we will not have to be concerned about these things. As for those that are left behind, theirs is going to be the most horrible. With or without the tech... I hereby refuse to let this point be of any importance to me. Certainly not worth arguing with my brethren...
In Christ...
Yes my friend, I agree... all we are doing really is trying to see the future in light of Scripture and our day.. Whatever the case... it will EXPONENTIALLY be globally horrific to a godless world and to those who come to Messiah via the Two Witnesses and the 144,000, but at the end of this brief period new believers will be resurrected to enjoy the Kingdom with their new Savior (Rev. 20:4-6).Thanks for our replies!
Eph. 3:20-21!

Hey David, you I am sure have heard this before but... My take on this mark is going to be something much worse than an RFID...
1. Jesus says like the days of Noe... For this to be true the Angels that left their heavenly estates and mated with mankind's women will be in full effect.
2. If you take the mark your destruction is assured there is no redemption for your soul you are instantly going to hell.
The mark of the beast is also something you will be made to either choose or reject. It won't just be pushed on you as in some government just gives you this mark. It will be just as it always is a personal choice. True if you reject it you'll be beheaded so you may not feel like you've got a choice at all etc... But.
A fascinating aspect to the tribulation period is Revelation 9:6 that in this time people will try to die but find out they can't. Death literally is something the earth dwellers in this phase of the Great Tribulation cannot achieve. This verse always blows me away that people will try and kill themselves but they cannot. Something has to take place that would cause them not be able to hurt themselves or rather their bodies.
So going by the Bible only. The conditions will be just as before Noah entered the ark. What was going on at that time? The Nephilim. These genetically altered beings that were part man part angel. The reason God destroyed the world saving only these 8 people at that time is specifically said that Noahs bloodline was found to be pure.
Now it it is this same technical word for bodily and physical perfection that is translated in Genesis 6:9, as perfect in his generations. So this shows that Gen. 6:9 does not speak of Noah's moral perfection, but tells us that he and his family had preserved their pedigree and kept it pure, in spite of the prevailing corruption brought about by the fallen angels. Noahs blood line was pure (perfect), not defiled by the abomination to God: the unholy union of angels and men. That this was such a grievous thing is shown by the fact that God imprisoned the angels that did this.
The mark of the beast in all of my Bible reading has to be something linked with what was going on in Noah's days. I believe honestly that the mark will be some form of biological implant that will mix human DNA with fallen angel DNA. This mixing of the DNA will at the outset be looked at as mankinds greatest achievement. They will be told they will gain immortality by getting this implant / mark. How many people today are already being groomed for this technological advancement? All of us alive today are being swooned over by our entertainment industry through movies such as super hero type genre, cyborg, genetically modified super human this or that.
The time is going to come when God actually does to all of the people left what basically happened to Pharaoh, as Pharaoh hardened his heart against God, God eventually said ok now I will harden your heart for you... God says he is going to do this:
2 Thessalonians 2:9-12 The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with how Satan works. He will use all sorts of displays of power through signs and wonders that serve the lie, and all the ways that wickedness deceives those who are perishing. They perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie and so that all will be condemned who have not believed the truth but have delighted in wickedness.
Just as he hardened Pharaohs heart his is going to send a powerful delusion... Yes God has and can and again will take account of the lives of those left in the end times and assist them in their hardness of heart towards Him by allowing them to believe a great deception. Exactly what the deception will be I can like many others only guess. But going by just what the Bible says I am assuming it has something to do with the taking of this mark.
I truly believe the mark of the beast is a biological implant that will by the miraculous healing ie head wounded anti christ etc recovering from the dead apparently etc... make everyone believe that they to will be able to live forever and have no worries of cancer, pain, addictions, etc... etc... etc... I mean super human strength or longevity of life... I can see how easily people would jump in line to get this incredible technology just as they line up for days on end prior to a new iPhone release or other. Those that may be skeptical of some technology would be swayed into this deception so easily with eternal life here on earth.
So just like the days of Noah there will be commingling of men with fallen angels DNA. This is also what damns that person immediately to hell. Just as the fallen angels were chained the nephilim were doomed as demons to roam without a body this earth only able to posses another body etc. Demon possession is simply nephilim at work. The fallen angels are already locked up to be released at a set point and time.
So when I hear about RFID and things like a barcode, none of that falls into scripture about the mark of the beast and whats going on in the earth at the great tribulation time period. I don't believe for a moment that all technology and electricity will be gone from the world during the tribulation period. I am sure it will be gone in areas like Damascus for example ;)
But what we attribute to the mark of the beast has to be something so profound that God says anyone that gets it is instantly going to hell period. There is no I got the mark to feed my kids or I was forced to take it etc let me repent. No the mark has to be something so diabolical that just like the days of Noah it will literally be changing you from a human to something like that of the nephilim of old.
Can I be wrong? Sure. No one will know for sure until it happens. But scripture when you take into account the fullness of God's word has so many things that have to tie together in order to make God's word true that at this exact moment in time I do not have a better explanation about whats to come than this.
When we get to heaven we can sit back and discuss all the things we once thought out loud and proposed or pondered but I doubt I will be sitting there saying see I told ya so in any case. God has his ways and no man can know them. But it is right for us to try and discern the events surrounding us, and be the watchmen on the wall calling out to this fallen world that the time of Jesus' immanent return is so very near. Get your hearts right with Jesus, look up for redemption draweth nigh.
Maranatha!
There is one mediator between God and man, the man Christ Jesus.
