Rev 13:17?
“Rev 13:17?”
Absolutely... The is where true understanding and interpretation of the Bible comes in. It is not meant to be Literal, it is metaphoric and symbolic. Simpletons think there will literally be a physical “Mark”... A “Brand”. No... we have it already and it is digital. Already it is becoming hard to do anything without a phone app. Banks require it, stores require it if you want a bargain, now government even requires you to log into an app to do business with government agencies.
Phones are the Mark. Phones are held in your hand, (the Mark on the Hand), and phones are now moving to facial recognition for security before you can use the Mark in your hand, (The Mark on the Forehead). When they make our phone numbers static and permanent as unique to each individual there will be the Mark of the Beast (Digital ID). And the Beast from the ground? Technology... It is all mined from the Ground. Metaphorically and symbolically it absolutely fits the prophesy and makes sense.
