Peter tells you when it comes to prophetic symbolism, private interpretations such as yours that are formed from headlines, wild sensationalist books and movies, or ridiculous theories of uninspired men are illegitimate, and he says we are to ask "holy men that spake as they were moved by the Holy Spirit" what the symbols mean...men like Moses, Jeremiah, Daniel, Zechariah, Ezekiel, etc. Understand?
- I asked Moses was there anything God ever told him about something going in the hand or forehead...and he never once spoke about a stupid chip. He said God desired His Law to be there.
- The author of the clearly end times chapter of Psalms 94 says the "throne of iniquity" shall "frame mischief by a LAW."
- John says those who do not get the Mark are keeping God's Law - by extension, those that get it are breaking God's law.
- John says God's end time church are "they who keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus Christ."
- Nebuchadnezzer wanted to burn up the three Hebrews for refusing to keep his unBiblical law and bow down to the image.
- Daniel was thrown to the lions for refusing to keep Darius' unBiblical law about worship and prayer.
- In Esther's time, the Jews were sentenced to death because Mordecai refused to bow to Haman.
Are you really not able to conceive in your mind that in this information age in which we live, an evil religio/political system can pass unBiblical laws and then switch off a person's electronic account who refuses to obey them? The only thing evil is trying to tell people the Mark of the Beast is a chip when you don't even know who the Beast is! I guarantee you can't tell me, but you know what it's Mark is, right?
Don't you think you oughta find out who the Beast is first, then try to figure out the Mark?
I can tell you who the Beast is and then let the BEAST ITSELF tell you what it claims is it's Mark. From the Bible, that is.
