A law won’t prevent the mark of the beast.
A victory against Big Bossy Government and greedy, intrusinve Big Business.
My solution was to assign 666 to the computer that ran the PBX. Didn't make 'em all that happy but there were no complaints.
Sometimes it is difficult to comprehend the stupidity of others. This state senator takes the cake.
Only government has unlimited resources—ours!
If the potential for anything exists...they will do it.
Excellent. Now I can get that bar code tattoo I always wanted on my forehead and right hand, without feeling guilty.
Looney or not looney; I am not the property of anyone else or the government of the US or world.
To be the "Mark of the Beast" -- it also requires worshipping the Beast, the Antichrist. And the problem here (in order for someone to "receive the mark of the Beast") -- you have to know, very explicitly, who the Beast is, and then secondly, you have to receive that mark with the understanding that you're worshipping that Beast... (which is the Antichrist).
Of course, no one knows who that is, and there is no one that is enforcing such a mark on the whole world right now and no one is requiring any "worship of the Beast" as a result of that mark.
This is hype more than anything else. When the "Mark of the Beast" arrives, there will be no "guessing game" involved. There will be no dispute involved. You will know it absolutely and by proclamation and if you don't worship the Beast, you will not be able to buy or sell.
Don't worry about that, no matter what is coming down the pike, until you know who the Beast is and until He say that you must worship him. :-)
Revelation Chapter 13 11 Then I saw another beast coming up out of the earth, and he had two horns like a lamb and spoke like a dragon. 12 And he exercises all the authority of the first beast in his presence, and causes the earth and those who dwell in it to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. 13 He performs great signs, so that he even makes fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men. 14 And he deceives those who dwell on the earth by those signs which he was granted to do in the sight of the beast, telling those who dwell on the earth to make an image to the beast who was wounded by the sword and lived. 15 He was granted power to give breath to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak and cause as many as would not worship the image of the beast to be killed. 16 He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, 17 and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
Revelation Chapter 14 9 Then a third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, "If anyone worships the beast and his image, and receives his mark on his forehead or on his hand, 10 he himself shall also drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out full strength into the cup of His indignation. He shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb. 11 And the smoke of their torment ascends forever and ever; and they have no rest day or night, who worship the beast and his image, and whoever receives the mark of his name."
Forget the mark of the beast stuff, nobody (except perhaps people serving time for violent crimes) should be forced to have a chip implanted in their body against their will simply on the grounds of upholding personal freedom.
Hey, he's only been in office a little over a year; give him time!
