I thought the Bible was constant, unchanging.
Why is ‘The Mark of The Beast’ not constant, instead, constantly changing?
Could it be that those who call the latest fad ‘The Mark of The Beast’ don’t know what they are talking about?
The Bible is constant and unchanging. What the words actually mean, especially in the prophetic sections, is another matter entirely. Given that 6 in Hebrew is a vertical line I thought barcodes were a shoe-in for MOTB, but the world of commerce has moved from us having barcodes in our wallet to magnetic strips and now onto RFIDs so that idea didn’t pan out.
The mark of the beast is constant. It’s already determined. It is our understanding of what form that mark takes that is evolving with technology. When you find that some mark, be it a chip or barcode or something else, becomes necessary in order to conduct commerce, then that’s a pretty good clue that it is The Mark.
