The Mark of the Beast – Is it a Physical or a Spiritual Mark?

The Symbol of 666 Is Explained by the Original Greek Text

 The Mark of the Beast that is mentioned in Revelation 13 looms large like a cloud over our discussion of the end times. It’s spurred theories, taken shape as an object to fear, and even acquired traction as something to reference within popular culture. Of course, many have assumed that the Mark, with its Name and Number, is associated with the person of the antichrist.

We will consider none of those theories as we will focus on the concept about people being caught up in deception. We will explore how the Mark is related to the Image of the Beast.

This video examines –

The Mark's Background in the O.T.

The Meaning of the Mark's Symbology

The Mark upon the Forehead or the Right Hand

The Mark as Rebellion Against God

False Prophets Who Create the Mark

The Meaning of 666

It is the symbol of the 2nd Beast, who is the same as the False Prophet of Revelation 19, and the False Prophets of Matthew 24, who have the key role in issuing the Mark of the Beast.

The Mark of the Beast is not directly related to the person of the antichrist.

It is the False Prophet (2nd Beast) of Revelation 13 who –

establishes the Image of the Beast, 

makes the earth and its inhabitants worship the first beast,

cause(s) those who would not worship the image of the beast to be slain,

causes all…to be marked on the right hand or the forehead, so that no one can buy or sell unless he has the mark.

We will also look into key meanings of the Greek root words of Revelation 13:17-18 to determine, or calculate, the Mark of the Beast.
