Question:- What's the "Mark of the Beast"? Isn't it at all curious to you that for the first time in human history -- with microchips, retinal scanners, a growing one-world economy -- that the technology exists to make the "Mark of the Beast" a reality?
(1) It is no more a literal mark than the mark of the Lamb in the next few verses (14:1).
(2) Such a mark is a metaphor for dominion and control. In Rev 13 no one may buy or sell without the mark.
(3) The beast who imposes it has divine pretensions, forcing his worship on the world (13:4, 8). This speaks of emperor worship by Nero Caesar.
(4) This very OT oriented book is using the mark on the right hand and forehead as a negative reflection on God's requiring his Law on his people (Dt 6:8).
(5) Any present day mark goes against John's time-frame (near), relevance (persecuted churches), and theme (judgment of Israel).

duh the mark is money with nero's image... cant buy or sell without it in the time period relative to the time period. hits staples button: that was easy!
then how does the mark of the beast allow you to buy or sell? what causes the noisome and grievous sore on those who take the mark?! it's obviously a physical mark
Interesting view here, but it has also been said to the effect of 'a day to god is but a thousand years to man,' so shortly could be within days to god, but thousand years forward. On some of these comments, I find it interesting that coinage is mentioned, especially now. US presidential dollar coins had 'in god we trust' moved to the outer edge, while other coins had it on the face. Obama also has a black bumper sticker campaign running now phrase: 'got hope?'....
These videos are ANTI-CHRISTIAN ATHEIST PROPAGANDA. They prove it themselves by being RATIONAL, RESEARCHED, imagining people of that time cared more about their own world than one in the impossibly distant future. As Longtalltexan63 says, the Bible says Jesus is God Almighty. His Bible anyway, if you take a few verses written by people who believed Jesus was superhuman out of context to fit your prejudices. My Bible has Jesus calling himself 'son of MAN' and refusing pagan deification.
Since NERO CAESAR is the Coming Anti-Christ or the beast, therefore, the MARK OF THE BEAST MUST BE THE "NERO'S CROSS or the PEACE SIGN also known as the INVERTED CROSS"...
