There is actually quite a lot in Scripture about the Mark of the Beast. These are quoted from the NKJV.
Rev. 13: 16ff He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, 17 and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. 18 Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is 666. Rev. 14: 8ff And another angel followed, saying, “Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she has made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.” 9 Then a third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, “If anyone worships the beast and his image, and receives his mark on his forehead or on his hand, 10 he himself shall also drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out full strength into the cup of His indignation. He shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb. 11 And the smoke of their torment ascends forever and ever; and they have no rest day or night, who worship the beast and his image, and whoever receives the mark of his name.” 12 Here is the patience of the saints; here are those who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus. Rev 20: 4ff And I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was committed to them. Then I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their witness to Jesus and for the word of God, who had not worshiped the beast or his image, and had not received his mark on their foreheads or on their hands. And they lived and reigned with Christ for a thousand years. 5 But the rest of the dead did not live again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.
In Romans 13 the Apostle Paul tells us to ‘put on Christ’ 13 Let us walk properly, as in the day, not in revelry and drunkenness, not in lewdness and lust, not in strife and envy. 14 But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to fulfill its lusts.
Since the earliest Church, Christians have ‘put on Christ’ in the form of a sign, as signs are extremely important in salvation history, not only for the Israelites that came before, but also for Jesus and His apostles.
The sign that ‘puts on Christ’ has been making the sign of the cross, and in both branches of the ancient Church, and in all the branches from there, Christians make the sign of the cross with their right hand, from the forehead, to the solar plexus, then shoulder to shoulder. This is the sign they use to begin and end prayer, by ‘putting on Christ’ they are accessing His power to save, His relationship with God, His intercession that was obtained for us by His sacrifice on the cross.
The mark of the beast is either on the forehead or hand, which subsumes the sign of the cross to the sign of the anti-christ. With that chip implanted in the hand, it is a defiled hand that rejects the cross making that sign. With that chip implanted in the forehead, it would be the FIRST thing touched when making the sign of the cross, subsuming the sacrifice to the anti-christ.
Amazing how that works. Just notice how badly God takes it.

The Mark of the Beast has never been identified until now. I finally figured it out after years and years of bible study. It is not a computer chip, biometrics or failure to keep the Sabbath. Email me for discussion.
i read your post and was curious to find out what the mark of the beast is . In the bible is say’s man’s number 666 but i don’t think the large majority of people christian or not would let such a mark be put on them.
Whatever the ACTUAL mark turns out to be, I believe everyone can agree that it will be utterly God-less, completely secular. I agree with you that if it was blatantly obvious that something IS the ‘Mark of the Beast’ that the majority of Christians would never accept it. Yet we know that Jesus asked” “Will faith even remain on earth when I return?” and those weren’t just idle wonderings. Therefore, I think it is something that Christians WOULD agree to, as something ‘beneficial’ according to Christian values, but that at its heart and root is totally anti-Christ. Therefore Christians must be in a very intimate, very dependent on God continuous state to recognize that mark when it shows up.
In order to avoid this becoming an extremely long reply, I think I may address this in a blog post. Thanks for bringing it up- its an excellent question and a fabulous opportunity for discussion by honest and seeking people. We could help each other in this way.
well, here is the factual nugget of information…believe it or not, the antichrist/the beast, will be Islamic, the Bible shows this…hard to show here in a blog, but I can email you the document that I have put together showing this…anyway, the mark of the beast is actually being used right now…it is called the bismillah…or what Islamic people say when they read the Qur’an, the hadiths, when they slaughter any animals, when they pray…they do this all the time…it is yelling “In the name of allah, most gracious and merciful”…as far as having it on their right arms or foreheads….if you look at jihadist, Muslim martyr, or Hamas pictures…you will see them wearing a headband or arm band that has the arabic writing of this term.
Now, trying to be short in this blog comment, when Revelation was translated from Greek to English, it was thought that the Greek numerology (Chi Xi Sigma)was what John had seen, because it the Book was written in Greek, and it was the basic common language then, however; upon Arabic speaking folks looked at the Greek text, it has been noted that the Greek 666 very close in resemblance to Arabic…the bismillah…the Chi in Greek (the X) resembles the crossed swords the jihadists, Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas use in their logos. Look at that, as well as the revival of Islam and how fast Islam is spreading across the world…666 is pretty much the bismillah and is being used today.
Hi Daniel.
I’d like to knopw what you think the mark is.
Is there a way to contact you?
Let me know.
Thanks
The mark of the beast is the CROSS itself, Revelation 13 has been already fulfilled back at the dark ages when the catholic church required every one to conform to Catholicism and take a cross on their forhead or use the symbol of the cross with their right hand which christians do until this day, if you calculate the number 666 in the Hebrew alphabet you get a cross.
The cross has its origins in paganism as early as Egypt maybe earlier, the beast is Christianity and their followers worship a god man jesus and believes in a another pagan belief which is the trinity.
this will sound like blasphemy to you but if you are seeking truth the spirit will talk to you and you will keep asking questions.
I hate being the one that brings the bad news to every one but some one has to do it.
If you want to learn the truth about God you must forget everything you have learned so far from Christian doctrines and start from scratch.
you can email me at acidbullet@gmail.com if you have any sincere questions

The term ‘anti-christ’ is NOT the obvious opposite of Christ, although ultimately he will be. It actually means ‘another Christ, or another Messiah’ and people are being readily set up to accept him. The method is to discredit Christianity, from the Apostles onward, and then to bring in the ‘real messiah’ because only the “Jews” understand what the messiah can actually be, not some rabble of misfits, fishermen and tax collectors. People who buy into that are BOUND to reject Jesus as THE ONE AND ONLY MESSIAH, and to accept whomever shows up with that ‘accreditation’. 666 also refers to King Solomon, who after his bad turn demanded 666 talents of gold as tribute, a similar situation that all countries will find themselves in with this substitute. There are so many ways that 666 can be determined, and so many who’s names, positions, attitudes or abuse of power that qualify for that term, perhaps now it is the entire world, and all the power brokers in it, who have rejected Jesus as Messiah, who are ALL 666 in some manner or other, and therefore as we can clearly SEE, we are in a LOT of trouble.
