We would like to share with you our understanding of the important and fearful Mark of the Beast. Best we start with the Bible verse:
"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." Revelation 14:9
Now let us interpret the verse-
Beast: The Roman Catholic Church/system.
Image of the Beast: The USA, Protestantism adopting the same coercive methods of the papacy.
Worship: Is to honor something out of real conviction, or out of convenience sake, just to gain acceptance by others, though at heart you are against it.
As to the location of the mark of the beast, the Bible says we can receive the mark in two distinct areas, signifying two methods for receiving the mark of the beast-
Forehead: The thinking part of the brain, and the conscience in particular, lie behind the forehead. This would imply that when I receive the mark of the beast in my forehead, it is because I have endorsed Sunday worship out of conviction and not out convenience. Though I have been presented with evidence showing that absence of any Bible support for Sunday worship, yet I have put the authority of man over God. I exercised my mental faculties and took stand. But it is nevertheless a wrong stand, and God would mark me with the Mark of the Beast.
Hand: The other place for receiving the mark of the beast is on the hand. The hand here signifies work. In contract to the forehead, here the ones who will receive the mark would be to avoid the buy/sell restrictions would be applied to all who have not received the mark of the beast. Here these people will be convinced at heart that it is against the will of God to honor the false day, but for convenience sake, and to avoid the harassment of people, deprivation, famine, rejection of people, etc… they will succumb to the pressure and honor Sunday, not out of conviction but out of convenience. They opt for the easy way, thus dishonoring God. So, they will receive the mark of the beast on their hands, which dictated their decision.
At the instigation of Satan and his agents, the Mark of the Beast will be enforced on people. The governments aided in this devilish pursuit by Satan, will ensure that those who do not comply by refusing to honor Sunday, will have it so hard that many will succumb and yield. But there will be a few who would rather die than receive the Mark of the Beast. We pray that you will be amongst the faithful ones.
It is important to remember that having a chip under your skin will not mean that you have received the mark of the beast. The chip is merely a way for the government to track you to ensure that you are complying with the Sunday law. The chip can be programmed to deny you any commercial activity (buying or selling), unless you sign a pledge to honor Sunday. This is very likely. But we can still have the chip under our skin, yet refuse to honor Sunday and be solely dependent on God for our care. This will be the test that will come to all people. But if we succumb, though we know that Sunday is Satan’s day of worship, then we will be receiving the invisible Mark of the Beast, on our right hand. But others will honor Sunday, convinced by their false shepherds, that it is the Lord’s day. Such will receive the invisible mark on their forehead.
