Mark Of The Beast - Religious Hoax Or Biblical Fact



One of the great things about the Bible is that as time goes on it grows more and more in validity. History, archeology and science all stand as witnesses to the validity and truthfulness of the Bible. What about those prophecies of the Bible that have yet to come to pass? You know, the things like the Great Tribulation and the Mark of the Beast. Its teaching on the subjects, and actually believing in them, that earns many Christians the label of, "religious wacko" in today's society. However, the Bible has stood the test of time and as our world discovers the things recorded in the scriptures that came to pass we should also be mindful of the things that will come to pass. Look at what the Book or Revelation has to say about the Mark of the Beast and then check out the video story. Gotta warn ya though, its creepy!

Revelation 13

16He also forced everyone, small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on his right hand or on his forehead, 17so that no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of his name.




How about that? Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that this for sure is the Mark of the Beast. I'm just pointing out the fact that the things we read in the Bible are reality and not fairy tale (I'd stay away from this type of identification tool though). Years ago Christians were berated for the belief that someone would have the power to impose this type of identification mark on the world's population. Now, were called close minded and paranoid because the technology is now available to make this a reality. One guy actually asked me, "why wouldn't I want to do something like that if it could help sustain my life." Well, just keep in mind that there has to be something attractive about the Mark of the Beast to get so many people to take it. People will be told that they have to do it in order to, "sustain their lives." Call me paranoid or whatever else you wish but its time to realize where we are in history. We'd be wise to start paying attention to who and what we're asked to be loyal to.
