I just see it as a all in one package. If your worshiping something then getting the mark probably has no issues if what they worship calls for it.

As for eternal damnation the language around getting the mark doesn't sound pleasant and if your right then either way it is dangerously walking on a very thin ledge.

Rev 14:9 doesn’t agree with what you say. Why do believe it’s a package deal.

666 = 6 hundreds + 6 tens + 6 ones
666 = 0 hundreds + 66 tens + 6 ones
666 = 0 hundreds + 0 tens + 666 ones.

You have now counted the number 666 in all the ways it can be counted. Does 66 ring a bell? Does 6 ring a bell?

The mark of the beast is any 6 that ADDS TO the 66.

Agree it is a package deal. It also has an order of precedence, the worship comes first the mark comes second. You receive the mark because you are already a worshiper of the beast.

When the vaccines become mandatory and the dispensationalist still haven’t been raptured, you can look for a brand new definition of the mark of the beast coming from the dispensationalist camp. Guaranteed!

So they are claiming the "Vaccine chip" is the mark of the beast - what about the chip on the shoulder?

I don’t believe it’s the mark of the beast, but apparently, some people do. According to Revelation 13, the mark of the beast will not be something that we are tricked into taking. It will be no accident. We will be well aware of what we are doing when that time comes and refusing to take it will cost us our lives.

Speaking of the mark of the beast, I saw this on the news the other day.

The mark of the beast will be ineffably and unmistakably apparent for what it actually is.
The fact that it is a choice of conscience is made apparent by Revelation 14:7, as the final warning given by the angel flying in the midst of heaven, preaching the everlasting gospel, is ignored, and the final and fateful choice is made by the earth dwellers.

According to verse 9 it will not.

Rev 14:9 And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand,


Rev 14:10 The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:


Rev 14:11 And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.

Well notice the word phrasing in your first scripture passage, it says if any man worship the beast and his image and recieve his mark on his forehead or hand.
So in essence the word and I think answers the question, it appears that one must first have already pledged their allegiance to worship him and his image and recieving the mark is an outward declaration of that allegiance.
We also recieve a mark when we pledge our allegiance to God - the holy spirit. ours is an inner mark that cannot be seen with human eyes whiles theirs will be an outer mark which is actually very relevant.
We are saved by faith and with our hearts, people can go to church and can act the part showing an outward appearance of Godliness but in fact may not be saved at all

You beat me down with smart comments when all I’m doing is believing exactly what the Bible says. I’ve already shown that the Bible teaches the mark alone is not enough and the identity of the mark of the beast is you, a 6, adding to the 66.

Why do you have a beef with that, seems like you’d be happy learning something new. I know I was happy when God showed it to me. Reprobate mind maybe... idk. Repent.

You win a million dollars if you have blue eyes AND red hair AND you’re a female.

You’re a male, did you win the million dollars?

Where does the Bible say the mark of the beast will be ineffably and unmistakably apparent for what it actually is?

Is this another example of you, a 6, adding
to the 66? You see how easy it is to see who has the mark of the beast.

I’m assuming that everyone on the thread knows the meaning of 6 and 66. 6 is the number man and 66 is the number of the word of God I.e. 66 books in the Bible. 66 decorations on the candlesticks in exodus etc.
