Mark of the Beast. It's Literal. St.John didn't see it in a dream. He was a witness to the events that would take place in a future in which we are now living. He was taken in Spirit and was showed all the things that are spelled out in Revelation.

Firstly, it's not John's Revelation as it is written in almost all the Bibles. It's the revelation of Jesus Christ of the things that will come to pass shortly (actually the exact translation is suddenly and not shortly).

The sequence of events, as many believe, will not occur in the order that they're appearing in the Revelation i.e., events in Rev.17 may occur first followed by events spellec out in Rev.14 and vice-versa.

Only with the help of the Holy Spirit can we able to comprehend not just Revelation but the entire Bible.

The first mark was a literal mark which was given to Kane by the Lord after he murdered his brother.

The Levite priests had tied around their foreheads the Words "Holy to the Lord" inscribed in Gold Tapestry which was a kind of Mark.

The Angels of the Lord mark the servants of the Lord in the end times to protect them against evil.

History repeats itself. The Lord will mark his followers so will the god of this world. But this mark will carry with it the fierce rage of God for whosoever accepts it will be thrown into the lake of fire in the afterlife.

The mark is not metaphorical, it's real, it's arrived and will sooner or later confront us. It's just a question of when. Mostly it'll be of a Verichip kind since it has an RF Transciever and can function perpetually powered by the electric current passing through a kind of vein which is found only in the right hand and forehead. It can send as well as receive information and that'll be the means of controlling the masses.

Nothing in the Bible is in there by accident but it is by intelligent design far beyond what our fallible human minds can comprehend. But the Holy Spirit is the revealer of God's Word. So take the help of the Holy Spirit in reading the Bible. He'll bring to light several verses and their meanings which were hitherto unknown or had missed our understanding.

THE MARK IS REAL, WE MUST NOT TAKE IT. But first it'll creep into the Society and will become an indispensable tool just as electricity is right now. We must be also alert in our spirit and must use discernment to recognize the mark, in whatever form it may come.

We can only be beheaded for not taking the Mark. But there's one thing to be happy about. We have the rest of eternity spread out before us and Jesus Christ Standing at the Gates of Heaven with His arms wide open ready to wipe our tears as we come out of the Great Tribulation into His Arms.

In Him
Madhusudhan.S

I would ask God to make every human being understand His Father's Heart and the Love He has showed on all of us, heathen and born-again alike, by sending His only Son to endure the Cross for all of us and that we'll be comforted by Him and our tears will be wiped out in Heaven, though we may go through tribulations, pain, suffering and are battered by the evil in this world.
