There is a lot of talk about the mark of the Beast. But what is it really?
The only place you can get a definite answer is the scriptures. Most people understand that the numbers 666 are the numbers of something negative, some would say it’s the Devil’s number…
But what we need to do to understand this number properly is to read the scriptures. I will be explaining here what the mark of the beast is, how it will be implemented and the consequences according to what we are told in the Book of Revelation and other scriptures.
You’ll also learn what the mark of the beast means to believer and to unbelievers.
Mark Of The Beast Revelations
Before we discuss the mark of the Beast you need to understand the mark of the Beast revelations, they give us an overview to what becomes the mark of the Beast.
To get a background understanding about the beast system, the book of Daniel is a perfect place to start. It prophesies all the kingdoms up until the present time, which gives us an overview and fuller understanding of who and what the Beast system is.
These kingdoms prophecied by Daniel are the final kingdoms. They were prophecied after thr Most Highs chosen people sinned and are now being punished. Although, the most High will gather them from the nations that he had allowed them to be scattered into…
Daniel begun this prophecies around 530BC, which is over 500 years before the Messiahs arrival, just to give you a better perspective of what is happening (the bible is much more than just a religious book), these prophecies outline what will happen from 530BC to the end of the world, which is what we are seeing today.
The scriptures tell us about a number of different Civilizations such as the one before the Flood and after the flood with Nimrod and also the Egyptian civilisation…
After these Israel had some years of rulership after coming out of Egypt and settling in the land promised to them Jerusalem/Canaan (called Israel today).
Israel ruled the world with various kings, their most significant rulers being King David and King Solomon David’s son.
When Israel sinned, this begins the start of the prophesied Gentile kingdoms.
We can find these kingdoms in the book of Daniel which describes and prophecies these kingdoms up until our present time, and even until the end when the Messiah comes back for a second time to reclaim the earth and set up the Most Highs Kingdom of heaven on earth.
Remember that the rise of these civilisation and kingdoms prophecied by Daniel begin the downfall and captivity of Israel as a nation.
It is Israel that the Messiah came to die for (Matthew 15:21) in order to fulfil the law of sacrifice and oblations (offerings) (Daniel 9:27) which were formerly the requirements for the atonement of Israel’s sins.
All other nations salvation is dependent on Israel as the Messiah so eloquently put it (John 4:22). “Salvation is of the Jews“
Understanding these Civilizations are key to understanding the mark of the Beast Revelations which we will be discussing later on…
So, the kingdoms and Civilizations prophesied by Daniel are as follows:
Assyrian, Babylonian, Median, Persians, Greek and Roman civilisations…
Which lead us to the European Western world powers today, which have all been influence by the Roman, especially morally through the Roman catholic church.
All the aforementioned Civilizations play a major part in the final beast system we see today as they are all Beast systems, which are in a nutshell an amalgamation of all the world Kingdoms as well as their idolatrous practices.

What Is The Mark Of The Beast According To The Bible
To find the mark of the beast in the scriptures we have to read Revelation Chapter Thirteen.
Revelation 13:16-18
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:
17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.
So here we are told that the mark of the beast is given to rich and poor and it can be inserted in your right hand.
The mark of the beast can also be through your principles and beliefs, this is what is meant by the mark being in “their forehead”, so those that agree with the system (the world’s status quo) can also be consider to have the mark of the Beast.
Notice this is prophetic evidence that the mark can also be something physical inserted into people. John is describing what he saw in his vision over two thousand years ago.
What Does The Bible Say About Microchip Implants
From what you can see interpreted in Revelation Chapter 13 it is clear that there is description of what can only be interpreted as a microchip implant being put in the right hand:
Revelation 13:17
17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
Today we see these chips already being inserted in people. As an example Sweden is known for its tech and citizens and there are sections of their society that have microchips in their hands, which they use for buying selling and business.
This ties in to what the bible says about the Microchip, being used for buying and selling. We are also told that eventually everyone will be forced to take a microchip or be killed (Revelation 13:15).
How To Avoid The Mark Of The Beast
Once we understand that there is a mark of the Beast the obvious question is how to avoid the mark of the Beast?
This is an honest question and the answer is also found in the scriptures.
The scriptures tell us that the Beast is given power to overcome the Saints, here the word saints is making reference to the children of Israel and not all Christian Believers.
Revelation 13:4-8
4 And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?
5 And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.
6 And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.
7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.
8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
The Beast is also given power to rule all nations everywhere no matter their language.
It’s interesting to note that the Beast is given power by the dragon (Satan), and does not have power of his own.
It is important because it gives us confidence, knowing that the Most High is in control of what happens, as Satan is subject to the Most High.
It’s also important to note that people will worship Satan (the dragon) who gives the Beast kingdom power (Revelation 13:4), willingly. Except those people whose names are written in the Book of Life. This indicates that most people will accept the Beast system willingly.
This attack on Israel in these verses also happened in the book of Maccabees with Greek and Roman rule (Approx.250 BC) and later, in 70AD when the temple was destroyed in Israel for a second time.
As we read on we see a Beast system similar to the Roman’s rule previously mentioned, which is resurrected (Revelation 13:12):
Revelation 13:11-15
11 And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.
12 And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.
13 And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,
14 And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.
15 And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.
This is the second, 21st century wave of attacks from the Beast system which is resurrected. A system that has learnt everything from Rome previously. This time its the global elite today and the European Nations, in particular the banking systems and big corporations.
The beast is resurrected because the ruling elite today are driven to carry out prophecy, being empowered by the dragon. The goal, world domination, to be like the Most High.
The fire the beast brings down from heaven can be referring to the Might of the world powers such as the USA, who have nuclear capability’s.
And history shows they used there weaponry against Japanese in hiroshima and nagasaki in 1945 during world war two. These world powers also used these weapons against other countries to achieve world domination.
In the second attack from the resurrected Beast we see the same pattern the Beast system before it used, at the top of the list is it’s persuasive ability to convince people to worship the Beast and follow the Beast system.
All of this reverence is achieved because of its brute force, the USA in particular (and other countries, UK, France etc) are known to have used a lot of force to defeat other nations
As we read we see that those that don’t follow are to be killed (Revelation 13:15)…
So here is your answer there is no way to avoid the mark of the Beast once it begins to seriously be implemented fully.
Revelation 14:12-13
12 Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.
13 And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them.
We are told that being patient and keeping the Most High’s Commandments and faith in the Messiah should be our refuge.
And if we die believing in the Most High we will rest from our labour’s and after our works follow…
meaning we will receive the kingdom to come, here on earth…
At this point we should remember that there are prophets in scripture who died believing in the messiah and the Most High’s word, because they knew that they would resurrect in the Kingdom to come…
And, as previously mentioned, that the Kingdom will be here on Earth when the Messiah comes back and takes the Earth from the global elitist.
Mark Of The Beast 666 Explanation
Many people understand the mark of the beast is 666, but this does not mean that you will be tagged with 666:
Revelation 13:18
18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.
The scriptures tell us that 666 is a mark of a man.
This can be interpreted in various ways:
The first that the microchip that you receive determines that we are the mark of the Beast, because we are men.
Secondly you can find many men, especially, politicians, religious leaders, entertainers who regularly display the number 666 during their different public activities.
Here are some examples:
It doesn’t end there, these men can also be Christian do-gooders that have gone around the world administering Vaccines which are known to have adverse effect for most people that take them…
In short, 666 signifies anybody that is forwarding the agenda of the beast, which we know is the promotion of immorality, murder, death and things contrary to the laws of the Most High in the scriptures:
Revelation 21:7-8
7 He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.
8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
So this is the true meaning of 666, it’s a frame of mind and it can also be a physical mark i.e. a microchip, which gives this beast system permission to track you, the way only the Most High should…
Meaning you are knowingly bowing to another master i.e. men, who are empowered by Satan.
The Mark Of The Beast Doom
For those that believe that getting the mark of the beast is just simply a microchip, you should know that scriptures describe side effects of the Mark that will occur:
Revelation 14:9-11
9 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,
10 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:
11 And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.
First we are told that anybody that receives the mark in his forehead or in his hand and worships the Beast, shall drink the wine of wrath, this is the Most High’s judgement.
The judgement will include being tormented continually day and night with no mercy afforded.
More scripture shows the effects of having the mark:
Revelation 16:2
2 And the first went, and poured out his vial upon the earth; and there fell a noisome and grievous sore upon the men which had the mark of the beast, and upon them which worshipped his image.
So you see above that not only will you receive judgement in hell for believing in the beast system, but those who take the Mark by way of microchip will be affected with a “grevious sore”.
This is an important mark of the beast bible verse to those that just think, “it’s just a microchip?”.
The Most High Has Power Over Life And Death
To remain empowered it’s important to understand that only the Most High has power over who dies and lives…
Below you’ll see some scriptures to keep you encouraged:
Deuteronomy 32:39
39 See now that I, even I, am he, and there is no god with me: I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal: neither is there any that can deliver out of my hand.
1 Samuel 2:6
6 The Lord killeth, and maketh alive: he bringeth down to the grave, and bringeth up.
Here we are told that the Most High Kills and Makes people live. This is important, because as believers we know that the Most High will always do the right thing by us.
And to top this off the Most High also has the power to resurrect us.
What this all means is that when it’s your time as a believer it’s your time, and we are not to have the spirit of fear, which Satans beast system routinely uses to control the masses, using the media, adverts, celebrities and various other methods.
Conclusion
The first thing to understand is that the Messiah is the one who will save us.
This will only happen if we believe the Messiah was sacrificed for our sins and raised from the dead.
Here are the steps to salvation: What Is True Salvation: Are We All Sinners Saved By Grace?
When we believe this we will keep his commandments and not the will of the Beast.
The scriptures tell us that the Most high will gather Israel who are the people of the Most High.
Here’s an explanation of who Israel are today: Who Are The 12 Lost Tribes Of Israel Today? A Definitive Answer
All nations that are not Israel also have a chance of salvation which is what we read in Revelation here:
Revelation 7:9-10
9 After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;
10 And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb.
So if you’re willing to accept who Israel are according to the scriptures a kingdom awaits you too.
Shalom and share this with someone that needs it!
